Pastor Eli was exceptional, he is very sincere and sweet. He did the ceremony in Spanish and English and was a true professional. It was a beautiful ceremony and he was a huge part if that. I would definitely recommend him.

Excellent!!!!

Rev. Maldonado was such a blessing. He guided us thru the entire process of getting married. We went to Puerto Rico from Oklahoma to get married. We would have been so lost had he not helped us. The ceremony was elegant and he was extremely responsive. Highly recommend!!!!!
