Wonderful Officiant—Highly Recommend!

We can’t thank Rev. Martha Bautista of Aligned Hearts and Vows, LLC enough for making our wedding day so special. From the start, she was incredibly warm, friendly, and professional, and she never batted an eye at our somewhat unusual request to hold a tiny ceremony at the Ankeny Public Library with just us and our immediate family.

She handled every detail with kindness and understanding, creating a ceremony that felt intimate, joyful, and perfectly “us.” Her calm presence and thoughtful words made the day feel effortless and unforgettable.

If you’re looking for someone who is both accommodating and genuinely caring, Rev. Martha Bautista is absolutely wonderful. We are so grateful for her help in making our unique celebration everything we hoped it would be.

Beautifully Officiated, Start to Finish

Our wedding day would not have been the same without Aligned Hearts & Vows. From the very first consultation, Rev. Martha made us feel heard and understood. She took the time to learn about our story, our values, and what mattered most to us, and she wove all of that into a ceremony that felt deeply personal and authentic.
Her calm presence and genuine warmth put everyone at ease. The words she shared captured our love perfectly. We especially appreciated her thoughtful guidance throughout the planning process; she offered helpful ideas while encouraging us to make the ceremony uniquely ours.
If you’re looking for an officiant who will celebrate your love with heart, care, and professionalism, we wholeheartedly recommend Aligned Hearts & Vows. They truly live up to their tagline: Where Love Aligns and Vows Come to Life.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
