Jaime married my husband and I almost six years ago. We had a very small ceremony on the overlook at the end of Big Al's Trail in Mancos. Our ceremony was perfect - everything we wanted it to be. Jaime was very responsive and professional. We highly recommend her!!

Benjie was very communicative ever since we booked him. Even though we were in different time zones he made it work! He shared resources to help us write our vows, shared the ceremony order with us so we knew what to expect and allowed me to add to it. As for the ceremony part Benjie was on time, communicating with us the day of, and had the most heart felt ceremony. I could not have chose a better person to officiate my wedding in Ouray, CO. I highly recommend!

Benjie was perfect. TLDR: very proffessional, friendly, and willing and able to customize your ceremony. Just do it!

I had a lot of concerns with the challenges of keeping our ceremony unique to us. There were many challenges;

Like simultaneously keeping it Christ oriented enough to appease my Christian parents and the ties that I hold to the church with out making my agnostic husband uncomfortable with the "churchiness". We wanted it to incorporate some prayers and some mentions of the lord with out it being a sermon. We wanted to focus on our story and our love and Benjie navigated that PERFECTLY. After the ceremony my father told me a couple of times "that officiant was so great!" A big compliment from my Christian minister father. And my husband was so happy with the focus on us and nature. Literally the perfect combination.

The second challenge is that we had to book Benjie less than 2 months before our wedding he was quick to get out questionnaires about our story and our details so that he could get everything perfect, and he did.

And thirdly, it rained through the entire ceremony. Just a cold drizzle he was freezing I'm sure, his notes were completely obscured by raindrops and he still managed to smile engage the crowd and do a great job 100% would recommend.

We absolutely loved working with Jaime! She took the time to get to know us which made our ceremony personal and included a lot of our story. My sister in law said it was the best ceremony she has ever heard! Jaime was open to ideas and wanted make our ceremony reflect us as a couple. We are so glad we chose her to officiate us!

Benjie was awesome! Right from our initial FaceTime meeting, we felt totally comfortable and knew he would be a great fit for us. We were sent a questionable about my fiancé and my relationship. It made our vows really personal and special.
Our wedding was in the mountains that we had to take jeeps up to. Benjie rode up with some family members. It’s been a few weeks and they still talk about how much they loved him and how funny he was! He just has a great personality and it’s perfect for this job.
Overall, we had a great experience and would highly recommend Southwest Ceremony!

We feel so lucky to have had Jaime as our officiant for our wedding in July. From our first meeting, she made us feel so comfortable - we knew we’d be in good hands. Jaime provided an awesome questionnaire that we could fill out together, and it really made everything feel significant and beautiful (after all, it’s more than just a big party…!). We never expected the ceremony to be our favorite part of the day, but it certainly was. And the number of people who came up to us afterwards to exclaim how amazing it was and how it was tailored to us so perfectly was unreal. Despite some weather delays and having to move inside at the last minute, it really was a really special, intimate ceremony and she touched everyone’s hearts, including ours

Southwest Ceremony did an amazing job with our wedding! Jaime was able to completely capture all our wants/needs and craft a beautiful ceremony that was very personal and tailor made to match our mountain aesthetic. Benjie officiated the ceremony and did a phenomenal job! He was charismatic, uplifting, genuine, and respectful. All of our guests talked about what a great job he did! I couldn’t recommend this team enough. Thank you!!

Throughout our engagement, Jaime went above and beyond to connect with us, to learn about our relationship, and to check in with us leading up to our big day. We felt incredibly supported and heard throughout this entire process. During the ceremony, Jaime completely blew us away. We had read the ceremony ahead of time and knew it was going to be incredible (as she is an exceptional writer), but we never could have foreseen the magic that happened in real life. She grounded us, she delivered the ceremony flawlessly, and she created the most meaningful and sacred atmosphere possible. Every single person at our wedding cried! Looking back now, my husband and I agree that the ceremony was our favorite part of the entire wedding weekend. Our guests have not stopped raving about how incredible Jaime is. She has an obvious gift, and this is truly her calling. We feel so honored to have worked with her. It didn't even feel like work... it was pure magic.

Jaime is the best- warm, thoughtful and professional. She is a lovely person with great intuition and you can feel her genuine passion for bringing couples together.

When my love and I decided to elope we wanted it to be memorable and romantic. We were so blessed that we found Jaime to help make that happen. She asked just a few questions about ourselves and each other and man she nailed the ceremony. Like she knew us for years! Don't miss out on having her help your day be even more special!
