Fun and ever lasting wedding ceremony!

I felt so comfortable and happy with Father Joaquin officiating and celebrating my wedding. We laughed, we cried and married!
He spoke English and Spanish during the wedding ceremony which made everyone in my family feel welcomed and a part of our union.

Thank you Father Joaquin!

Father Joaquin was amazing and did a great job at our ceremony. He even went to both our rooms to make sure we were ready and on time. He made the ceremony very interesting and not boring at all, he was very interactive. It's been 8 days since our wedding and I don't regret hiring him, he was the best choice I could have ever picked for this special moment.

Father Joaquin is the absolute best! From the first time I spoke to him over the phone he had me laughing. He has such an amazing way of making you feel at ease which is especially important since you will most likely be a big ball of nerves on your wedding day! He made our ceremony very personal by incorporating our little love story and our guests really enjoyed that. I could hear people laughing all throughout the ceremony because he has the charisma to reach that many people! And also I really loved the blessings he gave, it really felt like it was tailored to our needs!!! Call him and see for yourself :)
