Two Hearts One Life Weddings

Maria was very accommodating and helpful. She performed a beautiful ceremony exactly how we had discussed, and agreed to.

For our wedding, it was very important to us to have a Bilingual Officiant (English/German). My husbands parents do not speak English and we wanted to make sure they could understand our ceremony and that they felt as involved in our wedding as my family did. It was NOT easy to find an English/German Officiant in Arizona and I did a ton of research. Finally one day I stumbled upon Maria Grace (Two Hearts One Life Weddings). She is located in Sedona, AZ and was willing to travel to Scottsdale to Officiate for us. She is originally from Germany but has lived in the USA for many years now. She sent me several wordings for Ceremonies that she has done in the past and gave me the option to use one she has provided or to create one that suited our personalities. We ended up using parts of several ceremonies she provided until it was unique to us and sent it back to her for her advice and for translation. Once she sent it back translated, my husband and his Best man went through it to make sure it sounded good to them. Perfection! On the day of our wedding, the Ceremony was absolutely flawless. It was emotional and beautiful and the best part was that everyone was included. Maria was absolutely amazing! During cocktail hour, everyone commented on how wonderfully Maria performed our Ceremony was and how beautiful it was. Whether you are looking for a Bilingual Officiant or not, Maria will make sure your ceremony is as beautiful as you had imagined.

Absolutly amazing service. Maria made this wedding so special and she was exactly what we were looking for. The ceremony could not have been better and we were treated like family the entire time. Our memories of that day will always be more special !Thank you for all the help and guidance through this wonderful time.

Our ceremony was absolutely perfect thanks to Rev. Maria Grace. We feel so blessed to have found her and we knew from the moment we met her, she was a perfect fit for our special day. We had several guests at our wedding assume that we had known Maria for years. . Maria's warm heart and calm nature created a welcoming and loving environment that made our guests feel as if they were truly a part of our ceremony, not just guests looking on. Maria was one of the first people we hired and she was with us the entire way and eager to assist us with any questions we had. She is not only personable but extremely professional. We highly recommend Rev. Maria Grace, she is amazing. Maria will always be a part of our lives and we look forward to recommending her services for years to come.

Reverend Maria Grace completed the circle of Blessings for not only our wedding ceremony but the total event. From our first email-then-phone conversation, to her connections and recommendations in the Sedona area, to helping us create our very own ceremony, Maria listened with an open mind and a willing heart. In planning our trip to Sedona, she connected with us very quickly through her passion for her profession, and assured us she would be there for us at every turn--and indeed she was. We found that Maria truly wanted to get to know us, without trying to up-sell other services. During our family gathering just before our ceremony, Maria made a point of making everyone feel welcome.Maria's voice resonnates joy, hope and love. Indeed, she is a Gift. Our wedding experience with Maria Grace was perfect.Kip & Jane Whitehead

Maria was wonderful-willing to work with us and provide advice. She has been in the area a long time and provided recommendations for other vendors in various price ranges, which was great. The ceremony was beautiful, and she did a great job of managing "the crowd"-40 people in an outdoor setting! There ceremony went off without a hitch and just the way we wanted-spiritual and joyful and beautiful!

Rev Maria Grace is a sweetheart to work with and our ceremony was just what we wanted it to be. Simple and intimate. Rev. Maria made everyone feel comfortable and not nervous about anything on our special day! She helped us create our vows, assisted in the surrounding vendors for a small reception, flowers and cake. All in all, it was a great day and effortless day for us and our guests!God Bless You, Rev Maria Grace!Steve and Pat McKinney

Couldn't ask for a better officiant. Very pleasant and easy to work with. She was helpful before, during and after the ceremony

Maria K. Grace gave the most beautiful ceremony we ever could have imagined. Her words brought grown men to tears! She truly took the time to get to know my husband and I via email, phone calls, etc. as we had a destination wedding and I cannot say enough good things about how comfortable she made us feel. It's as if we had known her forever! She did such a beautiful job and really allowed us to take the reigns in creative the ceremony from start to finish to ensure our needs were being met. She was a wonderful professional and I would highly recommend her as a ceremony officiant!

My husband and I both agree that Maria did a wonderful job at our wedding. She was able to joke with us and keep it lighthearted at our very intimate wedding. As soon as I looked my husband straight in the eyes I burst into tears and thankfully Maria had some tissues handy! She was on time for the ceremony, had some good suggestions, and overall helped the experience go smoothly.

Maria was wonderful and truly professional She was so helpful in selecting the wedding location, lodging, dining, etc. My husband and I were very happy we selected Maria to perform our ceremony. She was so pleasant which helped us to relax at such a personal and exciting time. We definitely would recommend Maria to anyone seeking a wedding officiant.

Maria was an absolute pleasure to work with. I highly recommend her - whether you are looking for a complete package or just want a simple ceremony (which is what I had.) You will love working with her.

Maria was wonderful...from the very beginning she was very patient with the thousand questions that I asked. Since we live in Pittsburgh (a long way from Sedona), we needed help with finding other vendors and Maria was there with wonderful recommendations. She provided recommendations for our florist, photographer and hair/makeup vendors. All were wonderful! She even helped us write our ceremony by providing scripts from other ceremonies that we could use. She was on time and gave us a beautiful ceremony. My 10-year old daughter still thinks it's cool that she used her Kindle for the ceremony. Thanks to Maria, we had a wonderful ceremony. I would highly recommend her!

Maria did our wedding 3/19/11 in Sedona. We did our wedding with no wedding planner...it is do-able, but not easy. Maria was a TRUE professional, and helped us with all sorts of things that I would have never thought of. She is SUPER fast to return emails and phone calls. Her website is fast and easy. Our wedding was custom made just for us. She did a wonderful job. I was VERY happy with her work. Whether you are doing your wedding in Sedona or not you will have a beautiful ceremony with Maria's help.Congrats to you in advance! ;)Melissa and John Willard

I cannot belive this person. She is an angel. I have spoken to several of my closet friends about her. They cannot belive what all Maria Grace Has done. I owe her for eternalty. My wedding was because of her and cannot, will not forget what she has done for me and my wife. I am blessed to have had the opportunity to have met her. She saved the day for my wife and I for a last minute wedding that only the heavens could have put together. "Perfect" This was Gods work".

Maria was amazing for us. She was able to make me feel okay about selecting an officiant online. She assisted us in making our ceremony our own, and helped us to include our families in the ceremony itself. She was on time, responsive to contact attempts by me, and there to support us. She came prepared for tears and was a very strong officiant for us. Every person who attended told us how beautiful and touching our ceremony was. Amazing.

Maria Grace is truly one of a kind. I knew from the moment I spoke with her on the phone that her gentle and calming voice and her genuine persona was the perfect fit for our wedding day. She provided my husband and I the tools to craft are own personal ceremony which represented who we are as a couple. I would thoroughly recommended Maria to anyone who is looking to have a very personal, intimate, and thoughtful ceremony. I wish I could only find more excuses to hang out with her on a regular basis, she is quite fabulous! -Megan

I was extremely impressed with Maria Grace. She not only proved to be the perfect officiant, but made us realize how important this day really was to us. Our ceremony was complete perfection, suited to our specific needs. Our guests were very impressed, and mentioned that our simple wedding was the most lovely they had seen and heard. Thank you so much Maria.

It was an awesome experience and Maria played a large part. She is a wonderful, warm person and made it a special day for not only the bride and groom but also the friends and family who attended. She supplies very helpful advice every step of the way and provides a great service for the money.

We met Maria for the first time in her beautiful garden, and clicked right away. She made us feel welcome and allowed us enough time to get to know her. We loved her sample ceremonies, and were able to "cut and paste" from them to create the exact ceremony we wanted. The reason why we scored a 4 on professionalism was due to a scheduling hiccup, which was quickly remedied the same day. The day of the wedding, Maria met with each of us before the ceremony to go over any last minute details, which put us at ease. The ceremony was great! She even "ad libbed" at the end, incorporating a funny element of our personal vows. It was a very touching and fun ceremony. We'd definitely recommend Maria!
