I Do by Marisa

I Do by Marisa Wedding officiant based in Metro Detroit. Thoughtfully crafted, story-driven ceremonies for couples who want something personal, grounded, and true.

Now booking 2025 weddings — traveling for love. 💌 Hi, I’m Marisa — a wedding officiant based in Metro Detroit. I believe that every couple deserves a ceremony that feels like them — not a template, not a performance, but something personal, grounded, and true. This work found me in the most unexpected but meaningful way. I fell in love with the process: listening closely, weaving together the stor

ies and quiet moments that make a relationship unique, and crafting a ceremony that reflects all of it. Whether you’re eloping, planning something nontraditional, or exchanging vows in front of a full room, my role is to guide, support, and create a ceremony that feels honest and unforgettable. I’m now booking weddings for 2025 — based in Detroit, and always happy to travel for love. 💌

Let’s make it official.

Your officiant sets the tone before you say a single word.

How they walk in. How they speak. Whether they look comfortable.

This is why it matters who’s up there with you.

You’re allowed to be funny in your vows.

You’re allowed to be serious in your vows.

You’re allowed to be both in the same breath. That’s actually the most human option.

The best vows I’ve heard all have one thing in common.

They’re specific.

Not “you make me better.” Tell me how. Tell me the Tuesday morning version of that. That’s the vow.

There is no correct length for a vow.

Three sentences that mean everything beats three paragraphs that mean nothing.

Say what’s true. Stop when it’s done.

Vow prompts if you’re stuck:

— What did you notice first?
— What do you know about them that no one else does?
— What are you promising on the hard days?

Start there. Edit later.

She told me she wanted the ceremony to feel like a really good dinner party.

Warm. A little loud. Everyone a little too happy.

We pulled it off.

Micro weddings don’t mean micro love.

Twenty people. Backyard. Handwritten everything. Crying before the processional even started.

I’ve officiated both. The size of the guest list has nothing to do with the size of the moment.

Writing your vows and keep starting over?

Stop trying to write the vow. Write the moment instead.

The first time you knew. The thing they do that you’ll never stop noticing. Write that. The vow will follow.

The best vows I’ve ever heard weren’t about forever.
they were about showing up.
every day. even the hard ones.
Happy Mother’s Day to every woman who taught someone what love actually looks like in practice.🩷

“My husband and I were having a hard time finding someone, as we aren’t particularly religious. By chance, we ran into Marisa at a wedding of all places, and it truly felt like the stars aligned. She took the time to get to know us as a couple, asked all the right questions, and crafted a ceremony that felt deeply personal.”
 
— Gabrielle Seguin ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
 
Non-religious. Religious. Somewhere in between. Absolutely none of the above.
 
Your ceremony gets to look exactly like you — and I would be honored to help write it.
