ABOUT STURGIS RALLY WEDDINGS
& MARY MAISEY-IRELAND, Officiant

Sturgis Rally Weddings owes its beginning to a frustrated groom! He described searching endlessly to try to gather all the information he needed for getting married at the rally. I went home from his wedding, bought the domain name, and went to work on creating this site.

Wedding ceremonies are one of my favorite “works of heart.” As your personal ceremony planner, I will be the co-creator, consultant, resource person, encourager, and adviser for your wedding ceremony. I will work with you to create a beautiful, one-of-a-kind wedding ceremony that feels “just right” to you and your beloved.

My spiritual beliefs have love, learning, and empowerment at their center. Though I do not think of myself a minister, I was ordained in 2002 in order to perform weddings, and creating meaningful ceremonies is definitely one of my ministries in life.

I honor and respect all beliefs and traditions — religious, spiritual or secular. Because I feel that ceremony work is sacred, I put a lot of time, energy, and heart into creating and officiating each ceremony. I love new ideas, and I am open to almost anything. Naturally, there are some exceptions: I don’t jump out of airplanes; I don’t scuba dive; and I will wear clothing!

I am happily married to my best friend, David. We’ve been married for over 20 years, and yes, I wrote much of our wedding ceremony! Our two children are my most loving and patient teachers.

The other part of my professional life is dedicated to personal and business coaching, where I work to empower people to live lives of success, delight, and balance.
