    Lisa was the best!

    Lisa was so amazing to work with! From the moment we spoke on the phone, we were impressed with her attention to detail and getting to know us as a couple. When we read through the script she sent us, we were so excited she captured what meant most to us. She was so professional and made our ceremony so perfect!

    Martha is the best!

    Martha was absolutely amazing! Working with her to perfect our wedding script was a breeze. She helped make rehearsal run smoothly and the ceremony went just off without a hitch!! Martha was so nice and great to work with. We are so glad she was the one to marry us and it couldn't have gone better!!

    Absolutely wonderful!

    Reverend Martha was absolutely wonderful! She wrote a beautiful ceremony script and was super responsive and helpful with all of our questions and requests. We couldn’t have had the perfect ceremony I’ve always dreamed of without her. Thank you!

    Kind and professional services

    Martha was amazing to work with! She provided us with a ceremony script, added the changes that we made, and did a beautiful job performing our wedding ceremony. We did not have a wedding planner or day of coordinator, so Martha ensured that our ceremony got stared on time as well as assisted with helping us correctly sign our marriage license before mailing it in for us. She was kind, professional, and lessened our stress on such a big day. Thank you, Martha!

    Lisa is incredible!

    Lisa and the staff were absolutely amazing. We wanted a bilingual ceremony and Lisa spent a lot of time translating everything into Spanish for my partner's family. We went through several drafts of our script and Lisa always responded with corrections in a timely manner. We couldn't have asked for someone better to perform our ceremony. Highly recommend!

    Loved working with Rev. Martha! Great experience!

    We loved working with Rev. Martha for our wedding. She made the process super easy, and was able to make the script personalized to us. While the day was cold and windy, Rev. Martha showed up with no complaints to stand in the cold with us for our ceremony. Overall, a great experience!

    Amazing officiant

    Lisa A. Was amazing. She came to the rehearsal and helped us with the walking order. she gave great insight to what we were doing and why the order. She was so helpful and amazing on tweaking the script. I wouldn't have changed anything. I had many questions and she always answered and explained. She made this day and process easy and seamless.

    Book with Rev. Lisa! So Genuine!

    Rev. Lisa was amazing! She was so easy to work with and made our day stress-free. We could hear just how genuine of a person she is while reading our ceremony script. She was quick to answer any of our emails and did not hesitate to adjust the script as needed to make it unique to us. 10/10 recommend!

    She was fantastic. Listened to me wants and needs and was willing to tailor the ceremony exactly how I imagined

    I would highly recommend Lisa. She is professional. You can tell she cares about making each ceremony special for the bride and groom. She listens to your thoughts and takes the time to write a ceremony specifically for you.

    Warm, Personal, and Memorable – Just One Small Hiccup

    Martha Batista brought so much heart and warmth to our ceremony. From the moment we spoke, she was attentive, kind, and truly wanted to understand us as a couple. She delivered a nice personal and heartfelt ceremony.

    That said, there was a bit of a hiccup—my name was mispronounced a few times during the ceremony. It was noticeable, but we know it came from a good place and didn’t overshadow the overall experience. Martha’s presence was calming, and she truly helped make our day special.

    We’re grateful to have had her as part of our wedding and would absolutely recommend her—with a gentle reminder to double-check names! Tehe
