Maria and Mike are the BEST! They took care of our one year old lab for our wedding. They chaperoned him in the church, stayed with him for photos and then kept him overnight. We did a meet and greet before hand and our pup loved them both so much. We felt confident leaving our pup with such caring, loving, dog people! We have since used them to watch Harvey on long days out of the home or for “drop in” walks. They are our go to sitters for our Harvey. He always is happy to see them and is tired when he gets home (a very good thing for such an energetic lab). I highly recommend Maria and Mike to watch your pup!!!!

Rev. Maria came to fill in and save the day to perform our wedding ceremony. She was very responsive and kind. She arrived on time and performed a great and loving ceremony. She made sure the names were pronounced correctly and made us feel at ease before the big day. Everything went smoothly and we would recommend her!

Rev Maria made our ceremony the most magical experience. I could not have been more nervous about being the center of attention in front of 140 people, and she came to my room before to do reiki which kept me calm and ready. She officiated beautifully— everything we hoped for. She printed our vows to cherish forever. I made a lifelong friend and am so thankful to her.

Thank you so much for your beautiful words. It was truly an honor to be part of your special day in Ocean Grove. Your parents' home was filled with such charm and warmth, making it the perfect setting for your celebration. I will never forget the beautiful connection and love between you and Jorn, which radiated throughout the ceremony. I'm so glad the Reiki helped calm your nerves before walking down the aisle. You were absolutely radiant, and it was a privilege to be there for you in that moment. Officiating your wedding and witnessing the love you and Jorn share was such a joy, and I’m touched that you felt the ceremony was everything you hoped for. It means the world to me that you see me as a lifelong friend—I'm so grateful for that connection, too. Your love story is one I will always cherish, and I wish you and Jorn a lifetime of happiness together. Thank you for allowing me to be part of such a magical day.
