Thank you, Maria!

Maria exceeded our expectations in every way. We interviewed a few bilingual officiants and after our first zoom call we knew she was the officiant for us. She has this enthusiastic, confident energy which resonated with us and helped put us at ease. She made the whole process of writing our vows seamless and easy. We are more introverted so we wanted less speaking parts and ended up deciding to do private vows the morning of. She helped us rewrite the script so that it fit us and exactly what we wanted. She talked us through applying and registering for our marriage license and gave us a great tips on what to do. For the rehearsal and the wedding day of she was beyond fantastic. She made us feel like we were taken care of the whole way through. Plus she wore the cutest outfit! Thank you, Maria!

The best decision! La mejor decisión!

My husband and I wanted a bilingual (English & Spanish) ceremony for our wedding and we made the best decision hiring Maria. Our ceremony was everything we wanted it to be, and more! Maria was such a pleasure to work with and was very thoughtful about making the ceremony reflect our values and wishes. We received many compliments about the ceremony and specifically about Maria as our officiant. She has a lovely, warm presence and made the Spanish portion of our ceremony so so meaningful and touching. Our guests were moved by her words! We highly recommend her for anyone looking for a bilingual officiant.

Great officiant! Personalized ceremony

My husband and I decided to hire Maria as our officiant for our wedding, May 2019.

Maria was very personable and easy to work with. The fee for her services was affordable. We had several calls to discuss our ceremony and the process of obtaining the marriage license. We even met in person a few days before to ensure we felt comfortable. She wrote a very personalized bilingual (Spanish/English) ceremony that expressed our love story beautifully. Our ceremony was non-traditional/non-religious.

She also assisted my husband in writing his vows. Which he was extremely grateful for and they were beautiful.

We can’t thank Maria enough for her services and being part of our special day.

Maria is an incredible officiant. She took time out of her busy schedule to really get to know my husband and I. Our ceremony was really nice and personal, everyone commented on how beautiful the ceremony was. She made the whole process easy. We were very pleased to have Maria marry us. We are beyond happy and blessed that we met her.

Maria was awesome in helping my husband and in the preparation process and on our wedding day. Her words were so meaningful to us both and we couldn't have asked for a better experience. We highly recommend Maria when couples are looking for a professional, experienced and genuinely kind officiant.

Maria was absolutely amazing such a beautiful personality, she went above and beyond. Our ceremony was beautiful, we are so great full we found her on wedding wire. She was available through text, and calls and always reassured us about the whole process of the ceremony and everything. She answered any questions we had, I couldn't have picked someone as good as her!

Maria was the officiant at our 20th wedding ceremony this past weekend. We had a bilingual ceremony and she did an awesome job. Leading to the wedding day, Maria was able to work give us ideas of what to do for a 20th anniversary and how to include our children. She was also willing to work with our timeline (that changed a couple of times). Thanks Maria!
