The Tale of Marley Loves Drew ​​​​​
Once upon a time, a woman named Staci fostered a 3 month old gray tabby kitten named Gideon. While debating if Gideon was ready to find his 'furever' home, he climbed upon her chest and rubbed her face. He made his choice and became a foster fail. Staci adopted him and called him Marley.
Not too far away in Manhattan. A man named Gee discovered a cute calico kitten in the basement of the Drew Hamilton apartment buildings and instructed his staff to, “get that cat outta there.” Days later, Gee returned to find the kitten still there. He put her in a box and proceeded to drive to the ASPCA, but the little calico had other plans. She jumped out the box, onto his lap, and into his heart. Gee surrendered and took her home and named her Drew.
Years later, Staci met her partner-in-love, Gee. Marley and Drew fell in love with each other and have been inseparable ever since. Then they added an ….. 80lb AmStaff named Bruce (Marley & Drew barely tolerate him).
Crafting
Unique Wedding Experiences
Marley Loves Drew is more than just an officiant service, and your wedding day is not just an event. Both are poetic. I help create an experience, and build a beautiful flow and emotional connection. Just as a poem often tells a story, your ceremony weaves together your unique happily ever after.
I enjoy public speaking and have a strong background in event planning; you can trust me to handle all your event details with care.​
​For most individuals these are very important moments in their lives; this is what I remember when joining two individuals together.
Whatever the wedding size, this is an important moment that will stay with them forever in whatever capacity. And I am honored to be able to help two people step into this new season of their lives.

About Staci
As a wedding officiant, I feel deeply honored to unite couples, knowing each ceremony—no matter the size or style—marks a special moment in their lives. My passion for helping people connect with their dreams grew during my time as a Volunteer Director, serving 60 counties in New York, where I learned the importance of life’s cherished moments, like weddings.

Staci officiated my wedding on 9/20/24. I can’t say enough good things about her. From beginning to end she was professional, kind, responsive, and easy to work with. She is SO sweet and she has such a warm and loving presence which is such an important attribute for the person marrying you to have. She knew exactly what she was doing and I trusted her completely. I would recommend her over and over and over again. 100/10!

Staci-Jo was an absolute pleasure to work with. She was very professional, punctual, and patient. She served as a calm and positive presence during the more hectic and stressful moments of our day, even going as far as helping to take photos. We are happy to have chosen Staci-Jo to officiate our wedding, and we would highly recommend her to anyone in search of an officiant. Thank you for being part of our special day!!
