Estamos muy contentos y agradecidos con Adelaide, porque tuvimos una ceremonia bilingüe realmente hermosa, ella se reunió con nosotros semanas antes para luego enviarnos un email detallando el proceso de la ceremonia con los detalles que le solicitamos y finalmente el día de nuestra boda lo realizo tan bonito que hasta ahora siento emoción al recordarlo! Muchas gracias Adelaide. La recomiendo 200% !

Adelaide fue muy amable y nos transmitió mucha confianza es muy profesional!

Perfect choice for our ceremony

Adelaida was the perfect fit for our wedding ceremony on January 11, 2020. My husband was the first to speak with Adelaida and called me right away to make sure I spoke with her and set up a time to meet. Our initial meeting in person went smoothly; she made us very comfortable in her ability to perform our ceremony. She explained in full detail how she performs the ceremony. She is open to any request you may have and also suggested a lot of different and thoughtful aspects we can add to our ceremony. Our family has different religions and beliefs therefore we needed to adjust the wording for our vows, Adelaida made the changes without hesitation. Day of our wedding, Adelaida was very punctual, spoke very clearly and projected very well and performed our ceremony both in English and Spanish. This was very important to us as some of our family members only spoke spanish. Our guests complimented us so much on Adelaida. We made the perfect choice with her.

November 10,2019 wedding

Reverend Adié was very professional, compassionate, and made our wedding day go smoothly, exactly as I anticipated. We had a bi-lingual service that she handled like a champ. Our family in Argentina watched On skype as we were married here in New Jersey.
She first met with us at her home to make sure we were all in the same wave length. We emailed a few times back and forth and she was completely prepared the day of our ceremony.
I highly recommend Reverend Adie.

Lovely woman and lovely ceremony

This review is long overdue. I got married last October at the Woodcliff Manor in NJ, and I highly recommend using Adie. Our ceremony was just so perfect. We wanted our ceremony to be more elemental and spiritual, and we wound up doing a handfasting ceremony. Adie curated the perfect ceremony for us that really captured our vibe and spirituality. We especially love the poignant Celtic blessing that was read. I have gone back and read our ceremony many times, and have teared up each time. Guests told me that it was the most beautiful ceremony they have ever seen. Everything was just perfect, thank you so much!

Reverend Avila is a gem who truly loves what she does. Words cannot begin to describe how happy I was with the ceremony that Reverend Avila put together for me and my husband. Adie made sure to put a personal touch on everything she did for us. She took the time to help me find non-traditional vows that were a perfect fit to me and my husband's personalities. She helped us incorporate our loved ones who had passed on into our ceremony without putting a damper on our happy mood. Adie even helped my husband keep it together when he started to flub our vows and called me his "husband" she knew exactly what to do to get him back on track because he was about to have a giggle attack!
All in all I would have to say that Reverend Avila made my ceremony everything I wanted it to be and MORE! I highly recommend Adie and will be sure to call her when we are ready to renew our vows. You will not be disappointed.
Thank you for making my day as special as it was.

My wedding was October 14, 2016 and I had the pleasure of having Adelaida perform my ceremony. From day one she was amazing in finding about about my husband and myself to know the type of ceremony we would like and knowing about our relationship so she could write the most perfect customized vows for us. All of my guests commented on how professional and beautiful my vows were. Thank you Adelaida for being a huge contributor to the best day of our lives.

Adelaida was amazing! She personalized our wedding ceremony and made it so beautiful & touching. Our family/friends were truly touched by the beautiful ceremony that she had given us. She put together a beautiful ceremony that was so touching for us, and meant so much! Adelaida was so flexible, easy to work with, and most of all, she made it a smooth, easy and great experience. During our rehearsal, I was so nervous because I didn't know what to expect, and I wasn't able to speak because I was so emotional, and she was so comforting and reassured me that she was there to help me, and that I would be okay. During the ceremony, everything was amazing, and I truly thank her for making our wedding ceremony so amazing! I would definitely recommend her!!

SHE WAS AMAZING. Did my wedding last year the vows she wrote were incredibly lovely. Not only did she do our vows but also had a sand ceremony met with her once and saw the importance of including my daughter in the ceremony. I'm referring her to friends!!!
