Beaus and Beauties was exactly what we wanted!

Louie was exactly who we wanted for our wedding ceremony. We wanted to incorporate both English and Spanish so that all of our guests got to be apart of our ceremony. Louie was able to make that happen without making our ceremony feel dragged out and too long. We met with him on Zoom prior to our wedding which worked perfectly for our busy schedule and he was quick to provide us with a draft of what our ceremony would sound like, which calmed our nerves. Louie has a great sense of humor and provided the perfect amount calmness to our day. My husband and I both felt confident, comfortable and relaxed during our ceremony despite all eyes on us. We would highly recommend Louie!

Great Officiant

Louie was just what we were looking for! We wanted to build our wedding ceremony with both American and Mexican traditions as well as add both Spanish and English so all our guests could feel comfortable. Louie provided us with lots of guidance, advice, and helped us create a very special and personal wedding ceremony just for us. It was beautiful!

Available last minute and saved the day!

Louie was available last minute and saved the day and vibe of our wedding as we really weren't feeling the officiant that was assigned to us originally. He was available and jumped right in to help, as we contacted him about 1 week before the wedding. He gave us exactly what we were looking for, at no extra charge. He listened to our needs and made us feel comfortable the whole way! I love his comical, calming and professional deamor. He realized I did not have vows the day of, took control of the situation and again saved the day. I am so grateful our paths crossed and recommend him %1000!!!

Louie was Exceptional!

Louie was not just the obvious choice because of his bilingual abilities. He was a calming force, I didnt know I would need the day of my wedding. He was prepared and thoughtful throught the wedding planning process. His ability to establish and maintain a rapport with my husband and I throughout the wedding process was appreciated. Louie made an effort to be inclusive for the modern bride. He made some great recommendations for speeches and wedding vows. He gave my Husband and I some great suggestions for union ceremonies, and was flexible in incorporating our wacky ideas in a beautiful way. He also offered services on helping us process our marriage liscense which took an extremely heavy load off of my shoulders on the wedding day. Afterwards he created an adorable clip encompassing some moments from our wedding and shared them to his Instagram for us to view anf share with family members.
