Love notes from our ELE Lovers
"I have seen 100's of wedding ceremonies and liturgies. What Marcie created was by far the most personal, soulful and beautiful of them all." ~ Retired Unitarian Minister at Alyssa and Zach's Labyrinth Wedding.

Magic
"We are so blessed to have you officiate our wedding. We owe infinite thanks to you, Magic Marcie, for facilitating our beautiful coming-together and union. It took all of your powers to make it as wonderful as it was." ~ Rachel and Mike and their Rio Grand River Island Wedding.
wolves
"We share our lives with rescued wolves and are writers who are very careful about language, ritual and communication. Marcie captured our story and our love of animals in our mountain wedding where our wolves stood beside us and served as Best Male and Best Female, howling as we all cheered at the end of the ceremony." ~ Alicita and Joe's aspen grove Wedding.

theatre & nature "Marcie is our Fairy Goddess Mother. She embraced our love of theatre and nature and the importance of our wishes for each other and our marriage. She guided us for a year before our wedding, and carefully listened to our language and our intentions. No one else could have conveyed who we are in such loving and powerful way." ~ Samuel and Jill, rainy day Wedding and Handfasting at the Seattle Garden Conservatory
forever
"We spent two hours with Marcie before our wedding and handfasting ceremony and she captured the story of our meeting, and falling in love as if she had known us forever. We felt so much trust with her throughout the process. And we know there will never be another wedding just like ours. We cannot thank her enough for the caring support she brought to our marriage ceremony." ~ Jenna and Drew's mountain-top Wedding and Handfasting.

Wildflower Wilderness
"We cannot be more grateful at how beautifully you led us through our ceremony on our wedding day. We keep talking about it! We loved the wildflower meadows and high mountain vistas that you discovered for our wedding location. You really listened to us and knew our story and also honored where we were--the fact that I am Thai and Iain is a Scottsman--which is what made it truly special. We are so impressed at how amazing you are and we feel so fortunate to have you be a special part of our day that we will remember and cherish forever. Thank you!"

Rock climbing
"There are some incredible weddings in Texas where we are from. They can cost over $1-million to produce. But this simple wedding set in a circle of trees and honoring the couple's love of mountain and rock climbing and honoring family members who are no longer with us, is by far the most powerful wedding ceremony I have ever experienced."
~ Guest at Jen and Jess' Handfasting wedding which employed a 50-foot red belaying rope. Bridesmaids and grooms held this as it was used for the Handfasting cord for the wedding.
Honeymoon mead
"So it is in the heart of Wise Acre, a warm hearth of family, loved ones, winged and wild ones that allow true love to be witnessed. To be celebrated. And to soar."
"I always knew I'd love to participate in a ceremony like this, but to go through all the steps of the planning really makes it real!
Marcie encouraged us to make special time and spaces for us to talk about and collaborate on our ceremony. Marcie was always there for us along the way, to ask questions and for guidance.
We had a very small and intimate gathering. It had snowed alot the day before our handfasting ceremony. Snowy white paths led to an altar where Love unites with the wild heart. We were witnessed by our loved ones as our handmade Criss cord bound our love to the limitless realms of the endless sky. We feasted together and we even prepared our first homemade Mead with local honey and asked each person to add a special object and/or blessing to the brew--and we look forward to tasting the creation of our collective intentions in a year and a day.
I am blessed to be in Love and blessed to have had the glorious experience at Wise Acre. Marcie and Mark are so generous, thoughtful and inspiring. They supported us to truly celebrate our love, and in doing so, they help us share our love with the world.
