Absolutely amazing

We worked with Ramiro and he was amazing from the first time we talked to him to the day of the wedding. He created a beautiful ceremony and we received so many compliments! We wanted a spiritual bilingual ceremony and he delivered wonderfully!

Heartfelt and perfectly worded service

We booked our officiant 2 weeks before our wedding because one of us, cough cough (husband) forgot to book one (I only reminded him 234,984,106 times (not enough times apparently HAHAHA) so we needed a miracle!!!!!!! God delivered through The Officiants and gave us a literal miracle: Milagros aka Milly Blanco aka THE VERY BEST OFFICIANT EVERRRRRRR!!!!!! She literally painted the most BEAUTIFUL picture of exactly how our love story turned into a MARRIAGE and told it to our guests in such a way that brought me to tears. Immediately after the ceremony my now husband and i looked at each other and one of the first things we said was "WOW!!!!!!!! HOW DID SHE DO THAT?!?!?!?" We were in awe at how perfectly she was able to tell our story-it felt like she had known us for years! I felt like our ceremony was one of the most BEAUTIFULLY WORDED ceremonies I've ever heard. I could not have asked for a BETTER experience!!!!!!! And, do it in Spanish too!!!! I am pleased beyond WORDS. MILLY, i hope you truly understand how THANKFUL i am that we were so lucky to get you and how PERFECT you were for our wedding. You are truly AMAZING at what you do. So many people came up to me to compliment how IMPRESSED they were!!! With such little time to prepare, i cannot believe you were able to bring it all to life on our big day. After talking with you i was immediately comforted and felt you had it all under control!!!! For a bride that felt like I had so much to do in such little time, you TRULY made the experience a BEAUTIFUL one...and for that, you just can't put a price tag on it. THANK YOUUUUUUUU, AGAIN!!!!!!!!!!!! God bless you guys for ALL you do!!!!!!!!!!!

Greatest officiant of all time (g.o.o.a. T)

First, I would like to publicly "Thank You" Ramiro Malagon for making our wedding ceremony so special and heartwarming. Thank you for accepting to be part of our celebration.

What can we say? Ramiro was an absolute professional who made the entire process so easy. We feel so blessed to have had Ramiro marry us on the night of our wedding. He took his time to explain in great detail on all the steps of making our marriage official. He perform the ceremony in both English and in Spanish for both of our families to understand. Which was AMAZING!!!! The service was truly an A+++ in our eyes. Ramiro was a true gentleman, and even a better officiant. I urge anybody looking for an officiant in South Florida, to hire Ramiro. A wedding will be the most special day in your life. 30 minutes can go as quick as a blink of an eye, and when he united us, we both can agree it was the most precious moment we will cherish forever.

Thank you Ramiro. Thank you for all that you have done for us.

Stay blessed and keep blessing!

Ted was great!

Ted did an amazing job officiating our vow renewal ceremony. He got a feel for what we were looking for in our ceremony and ran with it. He is very well spoken and even threw in some humor for us. Our guests commented on how awesome he was, and we agree!

Excellent!

My husband and I had the pleasure of having Dominic Church officiate our wedding yesterday, April 18, 2020. We had to change our original wedding plans due to the Coronavirus pandemic and although our wedding was much smaller than we originally planned and mostly attended through Zoom, Dominic made our day feel so special and personal. He's extremely kind and professional and we both felt very comfortable. We highly recommend him to anyone looking for an amazing officiant for their special day.

Recommend 100%

Ted Church was absolutely the best. Getting an officiant I thought would be tough but he made the whole process very easy and answered all of our questions and accommodated us perfectly. His speech/vows the day of were perfect and added in a section for my brother and father in law who passed away, it was very beautiful. I highly recommend!

Perfect Intimate Wedding

Highly recommended! Ted did an Amazing Job. He customized a ceremony for just my wife and I. He was also very flexible and helpful. When we discovered that the beach would be too crowded for the ceremony, we were able to move to a nearby park that ended up being the perfect setting for us. Thanks Ted!

Excellent Officiant

Words cannot describe the amazing experience we had by having Rev. Ted Church as our Officiant, and we could not have chosen someone better. Rev. Church was excellent, he took into consideration everything we spoke to him about and wrote an incredibly beautiful ceremony. All the guests who attended our ceremony raved about him, and my husband and I were static. Our ceremony was personal, touching, and meaningful not only to the two of us, but to our family. Being my second wedding, I could not get married in a Catholic Church a second time, but Rev. Church made it as beautiful if not more so than if we would have had a church wedding.
In addition, dealing with The Officiants from day one was simple, easy, and hassle free. I urge anyone looking for a beautiful ceremony to contact The Officiants and request Rev. Ted Church, you can rest assure that you will have the best of the best.

Great wedding service

We had so many compliments on my daughter's wedding service that I had to write a review. It was a mixed faith marriage, so the bride and groom decided they did not want anything too religious. They wanted something more personal and romantic. Ted Church delivered. I think we had over 100 compliments on the service. Some of the guests wanted copies of the poem and parts of the service that Rev. Church read. It was the start of a magical evening. I would recommend Ted Church if you are in need of an officiant and you want something very personal.

Perfect Ceremony

We are not a religious couple but we still wanted a special ceremony and someone who would make that moment perfect for us. The Officiants were so professional and quick with responses, which really made us feel we made the right decision! Dominic was our main contact, but his father Ted was our guy the day of! He really ensured that the ceremony was perfectly us! I laughed, I cried, and I will remember it forever. Ted, we cannot thank you enough, you truly met and exceeded our expectations!
