About

Hi, my name is Thalia Arenas, a master celebrant (trained & experienced Wedding Officiant) located in Fresno, California. I own the Marry Me Wedding Chapel. I often travel outside my area to officiate personal and meaningful wedding ceremonies. My website breaks down the cost depending on the service you select. My full ceremony service includes organizing your ceremony from beginning to end. First, we'll choose a meeting date in person or via video chat. I'll send you an online questionnaire, and the day we meet, we'll go over the ceremony details and requirements to get married and review marital traditions. All of this will help me prepare for your ceremony.

Experience

I am a registered minister with the American Marriage Ministries and the Universal Life Church Monastery. I have a small business that provides various types of professional services like venue management, notary public work, legal document assistance, and animal welfare education. I graduated from FCC with an Associate in Paralegal Studies and a BA from Fresno State in English Education. Overall, I am helpful, enthusiastic, organized, and a fluent Spanish speaker.

Services Offered

I officiate different life celebrations such as weddings, vow renewals, commitment ceremonies, quinceañeras, baby blessings, and memorials. I am free-spirited and write the script to fit your values and traditions.

Personal Background

I am married to my honey, a pet mom, and have been raised in Fresno for most of my life (with a few years in Mexico). My free time includes reading, writing, or spending time with our families. I also love traveling, trying new foods, and watching romantic comedies or thrillers. The one thing people can instantly remember about me is that I spend a lot of time helping animals or lending a hand to anyone who reaches out. I am a naturally born humanitarian.

Contact me at Marry Me today to begin your journey of uniting as one.

Thalia is Amazing! Perfect Ceremony!

My husband and I got married on 3/31/2023. We were so pleased to have Thalia as our wedding officiant! From the moment we met her, we knew that we were in good hands. Thalia has the sweetest personality and is amazing at what she does. Her professionalism and attention to detail are truly unmatched.

We were blown away by how organized Thalia was throughout the entire process. She was always quick to give us resources and answer any questions we had. We felt so confident in her abilities and trusted her completely.

During our initial meeting, Thalia took the time to get to know us and our story. It was clear that she truly cared about making our ceremony personalized and special to us. And that’s exactly what she did! Thalia was very thorough and included everything we wanted in our ceremony. We were able to have a bilingual ceremony, which was so important to us, and Thalia made sure that everything flowed seamlessly.

One of the things that we loved most about working with Thalia was how inclusive she was. We were able to include our parents, which was so special to us, and our family and friends felt involved and included in the ceremony. Thalia made sure that everyone felt welcome and that the ceremony reflected our unique relationship.

Overall, we cannot recommend Thalia enough. She is an incredible wedding officiant and truly cares about making your ceremony personalized, special, and memorable. Thank you so much, Thalia, for everything you did for us on our special day!

Wonderful venue, wonderful day.

This was a wonderful outdoor venue for our wedding: affordable, intimate, and accommodating. The table settings were beautiful, and everything we asked for was handled punctually and without any fuss. Thalia has valuable experience handling weddings. She had answers for all our questions and worked with us to iron out details regarding music and video during the ceremony and reception.

I have worked with Thalia Arenas about a year ago and that time i notice a very unique way to perform her ceremony she has a, great presentation awesome voice never got tongue tied, she made sure everyone was following with her on the bride and grooms love story, she added small clean humor and never felt there was a boring moment. Her bilingual skills are a plus since it was a diverse crowd it made it very pleasant for all the guests to understand what she was saying. I had the pleasure on working twice again a few months ago and it as expected like always Thalia did an amazing job. I would highly recommend her on my future brides and grooms.

Since the first time I had an opportunity to work with Thalia I noticed the difference in her complete customization in how she brings a piece of each couple into the ceremony and their love story. She has impeccable Spanish for the Bilingual Couples whom hold that high standard for a great mixed ceremony. I have started recommending her to all of my couples looking to make their ceremony that much more unique. Thalia whole heartedly has my endorsement!
