Pastor Aaron and Patria!!! 100/100 recommend!

Patria was my coordinator for my civil wedding ceremony! It was amazing! Patria is so detail oriented and organized. I felt so cared for and special. I remember so clearly no eating breakfast day of my civil wedding ceremony, Patria saw how hungry I was and got me some ibuprofen and food! It was a hard day because my grandma passed away during wedding planning and the civil wedding ceremony was supposed to be for her so she could attend as we also had a symbolic destination wedding.
Patria and pastor Aaron helped coordinated a mini rehearsal and they’re a team you want to support you on your special day!! You will not regret booking Patria and Pastor Aaron!!!

Words do not give any justice..

How can I express this best. Aarón and Patria are so very well prepared, professional, and genuine. They are the officiates I hear couples talking about. Weather it’s from the an experience they have had or are looking for. After first meeting Aaron and Patria not only did we know we wanted them to perform our ceremony, we knew we would would become great friends.

Unforgettable & Beautiful Ceremony!

Pastor Aaron and his wife Patria were an absolute pleasure to work with to make our wedding ceremony perfect for the two of us! They both worked with us to create a beautiful ceremony that was tailor made to us, including part of our journey together, as well as creating a non-denominational ceremony based on our needs. They guided us through every aspect of the ceremony, asking us lots of questions and giving us suggestions that really helped put our minds at ease. As part of our ceremony, we decided to include a sand ceremony, which was a lovely addition based on their suggestions. They provided the colored sand as well as the vase to pour it in, and they even capped the vase after with wax so that we could keep it as a special memento! They also provided us with the order of events book that was used in the ceremony, which is something we hold dear to us to this day. We cannot thank Pastor Aaron and Patria enough for making our day so unbelievably special and a day we will never forget. They are both extremely kind, patient, and caring. We highly recommend using Happy Thoughts for anyone looking for a wedding officiant. :)

Incredible experience!!! Lucky to have Happy Thoughts Weddings apart of our big day.

Pastor Aaron & his wife Patricia took excellent care of me and my husband. If you are looking for a Pastor with a great personality, attention to detail and years of experience, Aaron is the Pastor for you. Pastor Aaron worked with us to plan our dream ceremony, he took our hand and guided us through the process, while allowing us to put our own spin on things. He was very open to any suggestions we had. His prices were very affordable and he was willing to work with us. My husband and I highly recommend him and would not have changed a single detail of his services on our wedding day. If you use Pastor Aaron's services, you will not have a worry in the world on your wedding day. Thank you Pastor Aaron!

Wonderful!

Aaron and his wife were great to work with! I was in a bind last minute before I found them and they were so nice to work with. They met with us quickly so we could meet them. He did a great job! I can't imagine a better ceremony. He was funny and also incorporated a bit of religion into our ceremony. I would say an absolute perfect fit. Willing to work with you on what kind of ceremony you would like. You can definitely tell that both Aaron and his wife love what they do!!

Better than I could have asked for!

Pastor Aaron and his wife Patria are a great team! They truly care about you and are very flexible, friendly, and understanding. Pastor Aaron did better than I could have imagined at the ceremony! He did a great job sharing our story, incorporating humor and of course making it God centric.
Thank you Aaron and Patria!
