English and Spanish ceremony

My fiance and I couldn't chose a better officiant for our wedding, she payed attention to every detail of the ceremony and guided us really well, since we didn't know the process and what to do. We chose her, because she seemed like someone with charisma, honest, easy going and responsible and we weren't wrong.
We booked Luisa a couple of weeks before the wedding, thank God she was available, then we decided to change the date of our wedding to 1 day before and she was still willing to perform the ceremony. Because of the time and our schedule, it wasn't possible to meet in person, so she arranged a video call to get to know us better and write a custom ceremony in English and Spanish.
The day of the ceremony we forgot to bring the marriage license!!! We all thought there'll be no wedding that day, so my now brother in law went to pick the license up 1 hour away from where the ceremony was, and Luisa was really, really flexible with us, and she waited for the marriage license, we're really thankful with her for helping us out and not just deciding to cancel the ceremony.
The ceremony was beautiful, I was crying all the time and she helped me to breathe and calm down, she made everyone to feel included, since the ceremony was bilingual. I still can't believe how emotional and magical that ceremony was.
If you are looking for an officiant for your wedding, I can't think of a better recommendation than Luisa.

Rev. Luisa is a talented and committed Interfaith Minister and Holistic Healer who brings light and joy to every single wedding experience. I have worked with her for many years, and when I refer a couple to her, I rest easy knowing that their needs and interests are in good hands. Rev. Luisa creates beautiful, meaningful, personalized services for couples (In English or Spanish) with the perfect balance of ritual and spirituality. Her peaceful presence ushers couples through this sacred experience with great care, and keeps all those present mindful of what the day is truly about – LOVE!

Luisa saved my life! My husband and I were planning on getting married at the marriage bureau at the city clerk's office, but realized 3 days before that it would be closed due to veteran's day. In a panic, I contacted about 20 officiants looking for someone who could marry us, as we had family coming in and we had to get married that day. Many wanted me to pay upwards of 500 dollars, some wanted me to travel somewhere that would be more convenient for them, and almost none actually listened when I said what I wanted. Luisa was very responsive, flexible, and enthusiastic! She calmed my nerves and made my wedding really special. Thanks Luisa!

Deanna and I had Luisa officiate our wedding ceremony at Riverside Church in Manhattan on 9/23/17. It was a beautiful ceremony, and one of the most beautiful parts was Luisa! From the first meeting onward, Luisa was very responsive, and really tried to get to know us. The first time we met, Luisa and her wife sat down with us and asked us questions about ourselves, our families, our relationship, and what was important to us in our ceremony. They shared their own stories and advice, and I can honestly say we had a great time talking and sharing with them as people. We were able to personalize our ceremony to really feel like our own, with Luisa sending us fully fledged outlines of what our ceremony would include for us to edit and make notes on as we saw fit. In our case, we had two of our friends perform a song, incorporated an Irish hand-fasting, and invited five of our closest friends to share quotes/readings/stories etc., all within the confines of a 30 minute Christian wedding ceremony. Luisa never missed a beat and it all went off without a hitch. Riverside Church set us up with Luisa, and we never paid her directly for her services, so I can't speak on pricing; but I have no reservations in saying that if you book Luisa, your decision will be worth every penny!

Loved Luisa - she is so calm and enthusiastic. She also made sure we were happy with every word of the program - helping us craft a few versions until we hit on the one we liked the best. The day was amazing, she is experienced, kind and so pleasant to work with . I'd recommend her without any reservations! You won't go wrong!!
