Iris is a sweet soul and great officiant

Iris was kind and we could tell she had a lot of experience. She made the day so special for us. We met her beforehand to select what she would say during the ceremony. Everything was articulate and well said. She has a calming energy. She can do Spanish and English and the day was perfect.

November 2025 Garden Wedding

Iris was very easy to work with. She gave us a really nice ceremony that we are both really happy with. Fluent in both English and Spanish and with traditional Catholic vows. This was exactly what we needed. Strongly recommend

Perfect Day

Iris was the perfect choice. Out of everyone that I researched I am confident that we found the best match for us. It went so well in fact, a friend asked how we found her.
From the first contact and throughout the whole process she was quick to respond. Her dedication to creating a moment that reflected our individual wants is something to be admired. I asked for some changes in her speech - I wanted to compare love to a train and include some classic song lyrics- and guys she nailed it. She was incredibly patient with my request. It was not silly, rather honest and thoughtful. I will always treasure her words spoken for us.

5 Stars – A Truly Exceptional Officiant!

From the moment I saw Iris’s photo, her radiant smile stood out—and meeting her in person confirmed the warmth and kindness behind it. She is a genuinely compassionate and thoughtful person who made a beautiful impact on the wedding day.
Iris performed the ceremony in a beautiful blend of Spanish and English, making it inclusive and meaningful for everyone present. She offered wonderful advice and suggestions to help the bride and groom choose vows that truly reflected their love and personalities.
On the day of the wedding, when things got a little chaotic and I was feeling frustrated, Iris remained calm and reassuring. She helped me refocus and enjoy the moment. She has a calming energy and a pleasant demeanor that made everything feel more manageable and joyful.
Iris is more than just an officiant—she’s a guide, a calming force, and a beautiful soul. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone who brings heart, professionalism, and grace to their special day.

Perfect Bilingual Wedding Officiant

Iris was the absolute best wedding officiant me and my wife could ask for. From start to finish the process of creating the ceremony felt very personal and professional. We also loved how she was able to curate the wedding to be in both Spanish and English to accommodate my wife and I's family. It felt very personal and intimate, and we could not ask for anything better! Highly recommended!
