I highly recommend

Victor was awesome because he did our ceremony in Spanish and in English. The packages he offers are amazingly beautiful. I will forever be grateful for the beautiful words he said during the dedication for my late father and our loved ones who could not be with us that day. The dedication ceremony he offers for the mothers was the most beautiful thing I ever seen. I found that so special since my husband and I both love, adore, and admire our mothers and each others mothers that it was just a perfect addition. I have to mention that Victor was kind, happy and funny and he made sure our wedding went as we discussed. As for the service packages he provides we went with the unity candle and the dedication to for our mothers. Victor certainly left a great impression on everyone that all our guest raved about him. Thank you Victor for making our wedding ceremony beautiful.

Professional, Personable, Informative, Well Spoken Wedding Officiant!

Jessica from Simple Marriages was with whom I originally spoke with. She gave me all the information I needed and to set everything up for us. Our officiant Victor called me and we went through everything together prior to the ceremony. When the big day came the ceremony was perfect. We would highly recommend Jessica, Victor and simple marriages. Great service.

Victor was amazing! All the planning we did for the wedding ceremony was so easy thanks to Victor and on the day-of he was wonderful! Our guests were raving about the ceremony and what a great job he did and how funny he was. We are so happy we found him! Our ceremony wouldn't have been as good without Victor.

The best decision I made for Wedding was hiring Victor as our Officiant!

The ceremony was personally my favorite part of the wedding day and Victor Silvestre officiating it helped make it really special and unique for us. We did a bilingual ceremony (English & Spanish) and Victor nailed it! He was so patient and attentive throughout the entire process and really helped us put together some great ideas that were memorable including our wine/box unity. We already know we will be using him again when we renew our vows and I highly recommend him to any couple. Thanks Again Victor!

Look no further, Victor is the best of the best

Victor did a great job as an officiant for our wedding. When we first met, we knew straight away it'll work out because he was very warm and welcoming and gave us the time of day we needed to get things straight in our heads. Afterall, how many people plan a wedding and know 100% how everything works? He takes great pride in what he does and is very happy to accomondate any special requests and traditions.

As half of our family are Spanish speaking, and the other half are English speaking, Victor did wonders at working the vows and the ceremony incorporating Spanish and English.

He is someone we would most certainly recommend without hesitation.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
