Thank you, Monica!

Monica was incredible to work with. She reached out so quickly when I expressed interest, and she was responsive to every question I had. She eased all of our worries and really helped my partner and I feel confident and comfortable with our decision to have an intimate wedding. The script she wrote was beautiful and it captured our relationship perfectly. Our guests thought she was a close friend who really knew us well, and that is a testament to her ability to create a meaningful ceremony. The attention to detail, tone, and her emotional connection to the audience were exceptional. I highly recommend working with Monica. She is kind, thoughtful, respectful, communicative, and really made our day special. You won’t regret it!

Ravens Roosters Elopment

Absolutely the best experience. I’d get married again just to have her. Checked in with us periodically leading up to our date, and she was so genuine with wanting to know how we were doing. Our ceremony was the perfect length. Short enough to where we weren’t standing there forever but long enough for us two to settle into each other’s gaze and take the moment in. Photos immediately after was so nice because we were still in our little love bubble. She had several poses on her phone ready for us to scroll through in the moment. I had two specific poses I wanted and she jumped right into it like she knew exactly what I meant. After we were done and filing out paperwork she made sure everything was exactly how we wanted. It was just enough to give us a wedding feel without it being a production- which was our main goal! She nailed it!!!

Highly recommended

Monica was better than we ever expected. She was so accommodating and respectful. We would recommend her to anyone hosting a wedding.

We were running pretty late and had to pay the late fee which is very reasonable. We were afraid that we would not be able to even have an our ceremony, but Monica pushed her schedule around and made it work. We appreciate her so much. It was a small beautiful ceremony. We requested a non-religious ceremony and Monica’s rendition of the marital vows was beautiful. Everything was perfect. 10 out of 10 would recommend.

Responsive, accommodating, and determined to make your ceremony personal

Monica was absolutely wonderful, and we cannot recommend her enough! From the beginning, she was accommodating, responsive, and genuinely invested in making our ceremony personal and meaningful to us.

Just a couple of days before our ceremony, my mom passed away suddenly. We were navigating an unimaginable loss during what was supposed to be such a joyful time, and Monica showed us so much compassion, understanding, and flexibility when we needed to reschedule. We will forever be grateful for the kindness and grace she showed us during such a difficult time.

Monica went above and beyond by incorporating a beautiful tribute into our ceremony to honor both my mom and my husband’s mom, who are no longer with us. That thoughtful gesture meant more to us than words can express and made our ceremony even more special.

She understood that our wedding was about more than just exchanging vows; it was about our love, our families, and honoring the people who helped shape our lives. Monica helped create a ceremony that felt truly personal, heartfelt, and full of love.

Thank you, Monica, for your compassion, flexibility, and for helping make our wedding day so beautiful and meaningful. We will always remember the care you showed us and the special way you helped us honor our moms. If you are looking for an officiant who genuinely cares about you and your story, Monica is the one!

Absolutely beautiful

Firstly, I want to thank Monica for being so sweet and making this experience and easy one for us. I truly recommend Blissful Unions because of their kindness, affordability, and flexibility! If I could thank you one thousand times more, I truly would. I have no words to express how perfect this experience was, we literally planned everything in less than one day and Monica was so sweet and accommodating. Thank you so much again and we are definitely reaching out once we decide on our bigger ceremony. Thank so much Monica!

With Love,
The Browns🥹❤️

Amazing marriage officiant

Monica was the absolute best, she was very pleasant, such a sweet woman with a great spirit about her. She makes you feel like you’ve known her for a while. The actual wedding vowels that she came up with was excellent. She was very responsive to our emails, texts, and phone calls. The price was very affordable. I would definitely recommend her to anyone, you won’t be disappointed.

Highly Recommend

Monica was incredibly sweet, kind, and professional! She was able to accommodate my fiancé and me for our very impromptu wedding ceremony, making time for us despite her busy schedule. She thoroughly explained the entire process and paperwork, making everything easy and stress free. She even took a few beautiful photos for us, which was so thoughtful! Monica was truly a blessing and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. I highly recommend Blissful Unions, the service was exceptional, and the pricing fit perfectly within our budget!

Simply marvelous

David and I had to move the wedding time up to accommodate my family and Mrs Monica was so helpful. The ceremony she performed was simply beautiful and we are so grateful for her. Her pleasant demeanor and willingness to help was more than we could ever ask for..
