Perfect Short and Sweet Spanish Ceremony

We had a wonderful experience with our wedding officiant. She came all the way to our home, which made the process so convenient and personal. She was very kind, professional, and made us feel comfortable throughout the ceremony. We wanted a short and sweet private ceremony in Spanish, and she delivered exactly what we were looking for. Everything was beautiful, meaningful, and stress-free.

Perfect Officiant!

We can’t say enough good things about Mylene. She delivered a beautiful, heartfelt ceremony that perfectly captured the feeling we wanted — warm, inclusive, and personal. The way she blended Spanish and English so naturally made every guest feel seen and included, and we received so many compliments on how touching and meaningful the ceremony was.

She was also incredibly helpful leading up to the wedding, walking us through everything step by step so we felt calm and confident on the day. She made sure everything was in place, and her presence brought such a calming energy to the whole experience. We’re so grateful to have had her be part of such an important moment in our lives. Highly, highly recommend!

So romantic and highly professional

We had the pleasure of having Mylene as our officiant for our wedding at a beautiful lake house in Wauconda. She came to the venue and made the entire experience incredibly smooth and special. Mylene was not only professional, but also warm and approachable. She took the time to answer all of our questions and helped us feel completely at ease leading up to the ceremony. The ceremony she put together was heartfelt, thoughtful, and truly captured our love story. We’re so grateful for her support and presence on such an important day — it wouldn’t have been the same without her.

Thank you Mylene!

Mylene is fabulous! She collaborated with us as a couple to customize our ceremony, providing us with optional templates and helpful advice along the way. Once we finished, she sent us the complete ceremony in writing ahead of time so we knew exactly what to expect day-of. We had quite a few special requests, and Mylene attended to them with sensitivity and professionalism. Some of our guests spoke only English, some only Spanish, we wanted the elders of our families to feel respected even though we don't share their religious beliefs, and half of our couple is non-binary. Long story short, a traditional ceremony in one language would not have been appropriate. We feel so happy and blessed that Mylene was up to the challenge and helped us create a ceremony that felt true to us! Everything flowed naturally and all of our family felt included in this special moment. There was not a dry eye in the house. Mylene also has a very calming presence, which makes all the difference on your big day. Look no further! :)

Tivemos a alegria e a honra de encontrar e ter a Reverenda Mylene celebrando o nosso casamento, estamos imensamente felizes e satisfeitos. Desde o primeiro contato ela demonstrou uma sensibilidade e atenção incríveis, ouvindo nossos desejos. A cerimônia foi conduzida com muito carinho e palavras sábias, em inglês e português, por sermos a maioria brasileiros, criando um ambiente emocionante e acolhedor para todos os presentes. Sua presença serena e carinhosa tornou o nosso dia ainda mais especial. Somos profundamente gratos por sua dedicação e por ter tornado esse momento inesquecível. Recomendamos de todo coração.

Amazing person and professional

Mylene made us feel comfortable during the whole process and during our special day. Very flexible, tons of options, seamless after-wedding day mailing service, and just an overall good vibe. The day of, she helped communicating with my mom (my mom doesnt speak any English) and translating the whole ceremony to Spanish. Huge stress off my back. Thank you
