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!

We found Father Joaquin through wedding wire and contact him about our wedding in November 2013. Father Joaquin was a pleasure to work with. He was prompt, professional and fun!

As the big day approached, Father Joaquin communicated with us by phone ( he is flexible, can be reached by phone, email, text or in person) and we talked about how we would like the ceremony to be and our history as a couple.

My Husband (Then Fiance) being not very religious was apprehensive about having an overly religious sermon. I always wanted a blessing from a spiritual leader and both our families being Spanish Catholics Father Joaquin was the perfect choice!

The day of the ceremony, Father Joaquin was professional and prompt, was funny, he made us and all of our guest laugh, provided the sermon in parts English and Spanish and pleased our Catholic Family members as well as our less Religious guest. He kept it fun, short and interesting.

WE were so happy with him and our guest were RAVING about how awesome Father Joaquin was.
Please consider Father Joaquin for your officiant on your big day :)
