About Married by Maricela

Married by Maricela

Presiding Officiant

Since 2009, I have passionately officiated weddings across California & the Midwest. My journey began unexpectedly when I officiated my sister's wedding, a moment that ignited my love for uniting couples. I strive to articulate every word with sincerity and grace, ensuring that every union is special and memorable. I have the privilege of working with a diverse array of couples, each radiating joy and love as they embark on their journey together. If you’re looking for an officiant who is approachable, knowledgeable, with a light sense of humor while taking your special day seriously, I would love to help make your wedding dreams come true!

What sets me apart from others is my personal approach to each ceremony. I take the time to get to know my clients, understanding their unique love stories, situations and experiences; incorporating those personal details into their ceremonies. I believe that weddings should reflect the couple’s individuality, and I work hard to create a meaningful experience that resonates with them.

In three words: Calm, Fun, Organized

    Maricela was amazing! She made our civil ceremony feel special, smooth, and stress-free. She even surprised us with a bottle of champagne, which was such a thoughtful touch. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a warm and professional officiant!

    We found Married by Marisela when we decided we wanted a small, intimate wedding instead of eloping, and we truly couldn’t be happier with how everything turned out. From the moment we walked in, the owners made us feel so welcomed and cared for. They are such a wonderful couple—kind, friendly, professional, and incredibly helpful. They made what could have been a stressful process feel simple, personal, and special. Everything is taken care of in one place, from helping with the marriage license to the ceremony and beautiful photos. The chapel itself is absolutely adorable, warm, and comfortable, with plenty of room for friends and family and so many beautiful little areas for pictures. We are genuinely so grateful we found this place. It made our wedding day feel intimate, meaningful, and exactly what we wanted. I would wholeheartedly recommend Married by Marisela to any couple looking for a beautiful, stress-free, and personal wedding experience. ❤️
