Great officiant!!!

Reverend Marrero could have not made our ceremony any more amazing for us. He spoke beautifully, he knew where to be sincere, where to be nostalgic and even where to add some humor. We received endless compliments and the guitar and the end was the icing on the cake truly took us to another level...so romantic highly recommend Reverend Marrero he is the best!!

Rev. Marrero was exactly what we were hoping for. We had a limited time frame but 6 days after our first phone call, we were married. Rev. Marrero was flexible, organized, and professional yet very warm and personable.
He was always easy to reach and eager to accommodate our needs.
We didn't have a photographer, so he took photos for us himself after the ceremony.
Everything went perfectly smooth without us even needing to rehearse.
Reverend Marrero was a blessing,
highly recommended!

We made a spontaneous trip from Buffalo to Florida to get married. Planned the whole trip in less than one week. We wanted an intimate, casual, wedding and we got everything we wanted. Rev. Marrero was pleasant, understanding to our needs and desires. We could not have asked for a better Officiant!

The best part at the end was a little surprise that was in store for us. He pulled out a guitar and started singing! It was wonderful and it's a day we will never forget. I am glad that his family was a part of it as well.

We had the pleasure of having Reverend Marrero officiate our wedding this past November at the St. Regis Bahia Beach Resort and Spa in Puerto Rico! He did the most amazing job, the perfect ceremony for my husband and I, truly a sweet man and we are very grateful to him!

My husband and I got married at the Wyndham Rio Mar in Puerto Rico and we had the pleasure of having Reverend Marrero as our officiant. We also opted to use his additional legal services which made the process of getting our marriage license very easy and stress-free. Reverend Marrero was kind enough to pick us up at our hotel and take us to each of the offices we needed to visit for our paperwork. He even took us to a great local spot to get lunch where we were able to tell him more about our relationship and the type of ceremony we would like to have. The entire process was incredibly quick. Without Reverend Marrero's help we probably would have been driving around the island all day. Be sure to have all your proper documents in order when your arrive. Our ceremony was postponed due to some rain and Reverend Marrero was extremely patient. He made us feel very comfortable throughout the ceremony. He was fun and comical, yet professional, and he definitely knows how to work a crowd. We had the pleasure of having Reverend Marrero join us for dinner and our family and friends enjoyed his company. We are extremely grateful and blessed to have had Reverend Marrero marry us!

Rev. Marrero spoke with us by phone in advance of the scheduled ceremony. He assured us that once we arrived in Puerto Rico he would take care of our transportation to the beach ceremony site, select an alternate location in case of rain and assist with our photography dilemna. I am pleased to announce that Rev. Marrero is indeed a man of his word. We had an amazing ceremony complete with a serenade by the Reverand himself and many wonderful pictures!
110% satisfaction....highly recommended!

Reverend Marrero truly is a professional officiant but mostly his kindness and beautiful heart and soul that he added to our ceremony made us feel like we have known him for years!

Reverend Marrero is the sweetest man ever! He is also is very meticulous while filling out forms and arrived plenty early. My husband and I 'eloped' to Puerto Rico without any guests so our wedding was very simple. The ceremony and vows were perfect for us without any rehearsal. He was an absolute pleasure to work with.

Let me start by saying, finding an Officiant online is scary. Rev. Marrero couldn’t have been more of a blessing. He contacted us many times throughout our preparation and was always kind and full of information. He not only performed the ceremony of my dreams, but he also helped make the paperwork a breeze. Easiest way to describe my experience is “All Inclusive”!
I am eternally grateful for him. My now husband and I were wed in the El Yunque rainforest with a small group of family. The ceremony was tailored to us and felt like it was being conducted by someone who had known us a lifetime. Not only was the setting amazing, but the words were as well. Words truly cannot describe how happy I am with the entire experience!

It’s been a tad over a month since our ceremony and I still tear up thinking about the perfection. He was able to take our small intimate wedding and turn it into a memory to last a lifetime. Family still comments on how perfect it was.

I cannot stress enough how important it is to have someone on your side while planning a destination wedding in Puerto Rico. Reverend Marrero is definitely #1 in my book!!

Reverend Marrero was nothing short of a dream to work with. He brightened up our day upon first meeting, and worked ever so thoroughly and expeditiously in gathering all the documents needed to ensure my wife and I were all set with the proper legal documents to make our marriage official. During the process, he even managed to go out of his way to help me get my iPhone repaired after I shattered it earlier in the day!

He took the time to get to know us, and despite his busy schedule, he made it seem like we were the only couple in the world. Without any sort of coaching for our vows, Rev. Marrero wowed us with his beautiful words and ceremony. As my wife and I wrote our own vows, it was such a blessing and magical experience to hear how in sync he was with our relationship. All our guests thought is was scripted!

A few days after the wedding, he again took the time out of his incredibly packed schedule to deliver us an original copy of our ceremony and serenaded us with beautiful music. We couldn't feel more special. If we would've known of how good a musician he was, I probably would've had him sing during the ceremony (Note to those reading this!).

Just about a week after the wedding, we received a copy of our marriage license in the mail and we couldn't help but reminisce of what a blessing he was through our wedding weekend.

There's no guy out there who could stack up to Rev Marrero - truly a gift from God!
