The Marriage Mate was an exceptional choice for our wedding officiant. From our first interaction, their communication style was efficient, intelligent, and motivated. They crafted the words to describe our relationship beautifully, sharing our stories with kindness and grace. The quality of their work was truly inspiring, leaving us feeling reassured and cared for throughout the ceremony. We are so grateful to The Marriage Mate for helping make our special day so meaningful and memorable.

We couldn’t have asked for a better officiant for our wedding! Brooke was warm, professional, and truly made our ceremony feel personal and meaningful. She was incredibly open-minded, taking the time to understand and honor our unique vision. Reliable and detail-oriented, Brooke ensured everything flowed smoothly, allowing us to fully enjoy the moment. We’re so grateful and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a thoughtful and dedicated officiant!

You can contact me by phone or text at 1-360-332-9439 or e-mail. I will ask you a few basic questions about the type of ceremony you'd like and suggest that we meet to discuss your wedding plans. During our conversation, I will explain the different parts of the ceremony and answer any questions you may have.

In almost all cases, I will meet personally with you to discuss your wishes for the ceremony. In case of distance and convenience issues, everything would then be handled via phone and/or the Internet. All meetings are handled personally by Officiant Brooke Bakogeorge, who will be officiating at your ceremony.

In almost all cases a non-refundable deposit of $100.00 is required in advance by cash/check/Venmo/Zelle made payable to The Marriage Mate. Receipts issued at request.

Yes. Depending on your package choice, there may be a mileage charge. Any wedding over 3 hours from my residence will require an overnight hotel stay, which will be added to the cost of the wedding package.

I will perform ceremonies in reception halls, churches, in parks or lake fronts, restaurants, outdoors, on boats, at the beach, at private residences - wherever you like! Just be certain that you have acquired any necessary permits beforehand. If you require my presence for longer than an hour ceremony - for example, an afternoon on the lake on a boat - add $50.00 per hour for my time.

Definitely! ... Personalizing a ceremony can make it truly rich and meaningful. I am available for help and inspiration if the need should arise

I begin by gathering some initial information and then arrange a meeting to delve into your specific desires for the ceremony. For weddings, this includes learning about your unique relationship and love story. Through these conversations, I develop a comprehensive understanding of your personalities and preferences, which informs the creation of your customized ceremony. You'll receive a draft of the ceremony, usually within a few weeks of your wedding, and are welcome to provide feedback and request any changes.
