Reverend Mercy was an absolute pleasure to work with. After a casual interview, she patiently guided us through crafting our ceremony, incorporating our own ideas and offering up brilliant suggestions of her own. On the big day, she conducted our ceremony (in English AND Spanish!) with total grace and serenity. Couldn't have asked for a better officiant.

Rev. Mercy - Bilingual Wedding Officiant's reply:
Hi Garrett,
Thank you so much for such a lovely review! It was an honor to be part of your wedding day. You and Leo make a beautiful couple. I'm not sure I told you this that day, but when I was at my interfaith seminary, we learned that in many cultures and faith traditions, rain during a ceremony is viewed as Mother Nature's blessing, so you were majorly blessed that day! May you continue to be blessed throughout your life together.
With love and gratitude,
Mercy

Beautiful Personal Wedding Ceremony
Mercedes was so amazing! My two favorite parts of wedding planning were cake tasting and meeting with her in advance of our wedding. During that meeting she asked about our relationship, listened to our stories and asked about how much religion or spirituality we wanted incorporated into the ceremony. The ceremony was perfect and was very personal. My mom who has a hard time hearing has told me multiple times how clearly she could understand everything said in both languages. So many wedding guests commented on how beautiful the ceremony was. Mercedes made our ceremony truly special!!

Hi Ceci,
Thank you so much for such a glowing review! It was an honor to officiate your and Mitchell's ceremony. It was also a lovely experience to do a second wedding in the same family. I really enjoyed talking to both your parents and Mitchell's grandmother. I'm glad to hear your mom could hear everything clearly! It was a beautiful day. I wish you both all the happiness in the world!
With love and gratitude,
Mercy
