Maria Romano is in the business of love—not just matchmaking or wedding ceremonies, but helping people foster meaningful relationships in all areas of life. From officiating weddings in Las Vegas to coaching individuals on finding love and rediscovering themselves, Maria’s journey is both inspiring and practical. Her story is a reminder that joy, resilience, and connection are the keys to a fulfilling life.

A Unique Career Path

Maria’s journey began in the car rental industry, where she spent 35 years as a company president. But it was in 2010 that she found her true calling: officiating weddings. After seeing a ceremony performed at a friend’s wedding, she knew it was something she wanted to pursue. With persistence, she carved out a space in the competitive Las Vegas wedding market, performing over 100 ceremonies a month.

"It’s the kickoff to someone’s special day. I want to make it memorable and meaningful," Maria said.

Today, Maria not only officiates weddings but also trains others to become officiants, sharing the joy she’s found in this unique role.

"We all have unique qualities to offer. It’s about finding someone who appreciates you for who you are," she explained.

Her skills also translate into the corporate world, where she teaches soft skills like effective communication, collaboration, and leadership. For Maria, it all comes back to relationships—romantic, professional, or otherwise.

Self-Care as a Priority

Maria emphasizes the importance of self-care, especially for women who often put others first. Her mornings are dedicated to herself, starting with gratitude, meditation, and exercise.

"It’s crucial to start the day with positivity. When you take care of yourself first, you have more to give to others," she shared.

She also highlights the importance of eating mindfully and enjoying life’s pleasures, like a glass of wine or her newfound favorite: peanut butter whiskey.

A Day in the Life

Maria’s typical day is anything but ordinary. From coaching clients to officiating weddings in stunning locations like the Grand Canyon or even mid-air in a helicopter, she embraces every moment with enthusiasm. Her ability to balance a packed schedule with joy and professionalism is inspiring.

"I love what I do, and it shows in the connections I make with my couples and clients," Maria said.

Lessons in Leadership and Authenticity

Through her work, Maria emphasizes the value of authenticity and vulnerability. Whether in the workplace or personal life, she believes true leaders listen, support, and foster genuine relationships.
