Mary’s Weddings

Hi, and congratulations on your engagement!

I’ve worked alongside my husband in ministry since we were first married, and I’ve been officiating weddings throughout Nashville and Middle Tennessee for nearly 20 years now — including beautiful venues like Historic Cedarwood Mansion.

If You’d Like Me to Officiate Your Wedding:

  • ✔️ I’ll send you my Ceremony Planner, full of options for vows, readings, and ceremony styles.
  • ✔️ You’re welcome to use my husband’s at-home marriage preparation course — it’s free and can save you $60 on your marriage license.
  • ✔️ We can personalize your ceremony in a meeting at my Bellevue home, or through email or a call — whatever works best for you.

Fees & Booking

  • Total Wedding Fee: $300
  • Deposit: $75 to reserve your wedding date, time, and location
  • Balance: $225 due two weeks before the ceremony

You can contact me directly at:

  • Email: marygriggs43@yahoo.com
  • Phone: 615-673-2519

Thank you, and feel free to reach out with any questions or to get started!

From Wedding Wire:

Technically we hired Mary Griggs (Ralph’s wife) to officiate our wedding ceremony and we wanted to say how wonderful she is and the prep course her and Ralph provide to couples. My husband and I thought the course was helpful and we plan to continue to work on our communication with the tools provided. Mary is so sweet and was the perfect choice for our wedding!”
— Jackyn S

Note: We had many more kind notes thanking Mary, but lost them when the website went down earlier this year. We’ll be adding more over time.
