Great service!

Joe was great to work with! He was very organized and prompt. We met via zoom calls several times to review ceremony timeline and details. We didn’t want a 10 minute ceremony nor did we want an hour. Joe helped us incorporate meaningful items into the ceremony to put us at a perfect time in English and Spanish may I add. We also invited our parents to do readings which felt very intimate and beautiful. It was truly an amazing ceremony. Thank you so much for your help!

Perfect ceremony

We are so happy to have found Minister Weddings. Minister Portillo was responsive, helpful and easy to work with. We chose to have a private ceremony close to home. Minister Portillo picked a beautiful location for us, the day and time we were hoping for was available and it ended up being a magical day. Grateful for Minister and Mrs Portillo, they are so kind. Mrs. Portillo even took professional photos for us! Any couple in need of an officiant should look no further. Thank you!

Good but not great

Joe was on time to my wedding and conducted our short ceremony that we requested. This was good but let's talk about the planning that led up to our wedding date. Joe was late to our first zoom meeting, after signing the contract. He did not inform me of his tardiness and he didn't reply back to my text messages asking where he was 23 minutes into the meeting. During this meeting I mentioned our rehearsal date and requested that he wear a shawl for our wedding date (that I've seen him wear in his photos). He was a no-show for our rehearsal and he showed up with a suit on our wedding date. Please take this into consideration when booking your officiant.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
