    Great to work with!

    Marcello was prompt and responsive to anything we needed. He helped guide us on our big day and helped with a beautiful ceremony. Would definitely recommend.

    Best Officiant ever!

    Marcelo was the perfect officiant for our wedding! From the very beginning, he made the entire process seamless and personal, taking the time to get to know us as a couple and crafting a ceremony that truly reflected our love story. His warmth, professionalism, and genuine kindness made us feel at ease, and his words during the ceremony were both meaningful and heartfelt. So many of our guests commented on how beautiful and touching the ceremony was! If you’re looking for an officiant who will make your wedding feel special and memorable, we highly recommend Marcelo. He was an absolute joy to work with!

    Marcelo is fantastic!

    We loved working with Marcelo; from the moment he touched base with us he was responsive and professional. He sent us lots of information upfront, allowed us to get to know him thru the links he sent us and past weddings he had officiated. He got to know our family and what we hoped for in the ceremony (how to include our children as a blended family). I was so impressed; both my husband and I highly recommend Marcelo for your special day. He did such a great job and had a beautiful, warm personality. All paperwork was done and sent as promised. Highly recommend.

    Great Bilingual Officiant

    Marcelo was great. Very prompt in responding and accommodating to our last minute request. We decided to elope 4 months before our trip to Costa Rica & Marcelo helped us find a photographer & made everything seamless!

    Professional and timely

    Marcielo was fantastic to work with from start to finish. The first time we met him was over FaceTime (we live in the US) and he made us feel so much more comfortable with our ceremony from the moment we met him. After our FaceTime he provided us with his standard ceremony template and we were able to make any edits we wanted to personalize it to us. We were a little bit nervous about this because we did not have a ceremony rehearsal with him. So the first time this ceremony was read was quite literally in the moment of the wedding. It went off flawlessly. He made us feel so comfortable at the alter. The ceremony last for approximately 15 minutes and it was beautiful. We received so many compliments on our ceremony. When we reflect back on our day, he was one of the major highlights of our day. We would recommend Marcielo to anyone looking to have their wedding in Costa Rica.

    Wonderful Ceremony

    You can tell Marcelo has been doing this for a while because everything is completely flawless. From initial contact, to going through vows, through to completion, he has planned for everything. Marcelo is very friendly, professional, and super easy to talk to. He made our day absolutely perfect and we can't thank him enough for his help.

    Relaxed and Professional

    Marcelo handled everything, and we could not have been more happy with his service. Months beforehand he took the initiative and asked us for our and our witness' information (required for the license) as well as graciously incorporated our input into the ceremony. Day of he kept things light which really helped our nerves and ran a stellar ceremony, you could tell he's a professional who has done this before. Afterwards, he got us our certificate on time and answered all of our questions. We were happy he was part of our special day. Thank you Marcelo!

    Simply wonderful and professional

    Marcelo was amazing! So awesome to work with any just great energy. We loved how easy going he was and responsive. It’s hard to plan a destination wedding in a place you have never been or with a person you never met, but he made it a breeze! He was willing to work with us and his English is perfect. 10/10 would recommend this guy and his services!

    Perfection

    Marcelo was amazing. Very responsive, knowledgeable and professional. His speech was touching and personal, especially when he included our children. I ugly cried several times reading it ahead of time (so I wouldn’t bawl during the ceremony)! He spoke elegantly and was just the perfect wedding Officiant. I felt very comfortable working with him and that he would see to it our marriage was valid.

    Wonderful and carrying officiant.

    We truly enjoyed having Marcelo officiate our wedding. Marcelo had a wonderful transcript, which was very touching. We liked it so much that we made no changes, but Marcelo was open and very flexible if we wanted to make changes. Marcelo's English is perfect and he has a voice that projects for all guests to hear. Marcelo was amazing to work with and we highly recommend him.

    Our ceremony was perfect and we wouldn't have changed a thing!

    We got married in February 2020, and we look back on our wedding day with the happiest memories. Marcelo played a crucial part in our wedding ceremony. He helped us make our day not only memorable, but unforgettable.

    Our communication with Marcelo prior to the wedding was brilliant and completely stress free. He always took the time to answer all of our questions and explain everything thoroughly to us as we did have many questions during this process.

    During the ceremony, we appreciated how Marcelo kept things so light and funny, yet serious when needed. He had listened to exactly what we wanted and provided it. Marcelo's energy made us feel comfortable and kept our guests engaged. Afterwards, we had several guest compliment us on how much fun he made our ceremony.

    In short, we could not have asked for a better officiant for our special day and would highly recommend Marcelo to anyone. He was an absolute pleasure to work with. Marcelo, get ready because whenever we renew our vows in the future, you will be there! ;-)

    Marcelo is the best of the best!!

    Marcelo is THE BEST!! We were slightly hesitant to use someone who we had never met before for our ceremony (we had a destination wedding in Nosara). However, Marcelo was so highly recommended, and was super quick to respond and give us information about the whole process that we decided to go for it! We made the BEST decision to use Marcelo. Marcelo was super informative and made the process of coming up with the outline of our ceremony very easy and comfortable. Marcelo was very flexible with what we wanted to incorporate into our ceremony and vows. He was able to help us make it our own. He was so helpful in suggesting certain things, too. Marcelo spent all the time we needed him to spend on the outline of our ceremony, and what everyone was going to say, and he genuinely wanted to make it everything that we wanted and more. When it came down to the ceremony day, he was so welcoming, and created an incredibly lovely and comfortable environment. He is professional, but very loving and kind. Our ceremony was incredible, and afterwards we had so many amazing compliments about it. People told us it was the most meaningful and beautiful ceremony they had ever attended!
    Marcelo helped guide us throughout the whole ceremony. We are so grateful to have had him as our officiant. He did an amazing job, and it went better than we could ever have imagined!!! Thank you so much for everything Marcelo!!! VERY highly recommended!!! :)

    Marcelo is a professional and my husband and I highly recommend him

    Marcelo was an amazing officiant for our beach wedding! He not only was professional he was very responsive throughout the process and was in contact early to make sure our vows fit our family and us. He helped craft vows especially for our blended family and even included a family vow and blessing for my 13 year old daughter. Planning a destination wedding can be stressful and if you choose to hire Marcelo you can rest assured you are choosing a professional with plenty of experience. I could not have been happier and my husband and I highly recommend him! I am still smiling from ear to ear just thinking about our amazing day!

    Magical Experience

    Marcelo was fabulous! His professionalism and expertise allowed for a stress free wedding experience. His calm demeanor allowed for our wedding ceremony to run smoothly. He provided my husband and I with the necessary information to be prepared for our destination elopement wedding. Our official documents came within a reasonable time period. We are very apprciative of the time spent with Marcelo.

    Pura Vida Wedding

    Marcello was great! Since I'm not from CR, we exchanged emails to reach the best ceremony speech that incorporated God and other points about us that we wanted to touch on. Marcello was always kind and fast to respond. He delivered an amazing ceremony: fun, easy, beautiful and memorable!!!

    Extra Special Wedding Ceremony by Marcelo

    Marcelo Galli made our wedding extra special. He performed our wedding in San Jose, Costa Rica, and we cannot say enough good things about his service. He responded timely to our questions via email or phone, and was very helpful throughout the entire wedding process. His gracious speech during the wedding ceremony also made our wedding memorable and special. We highly recommend Marcelo for your wedding occasion.

    Perfect day!

    I never knew getting married could be so easy and stress free. I love how we could have our ceremony in English and Spanish so we both could understand all of it. It really made the whole thing special for us.

    Marcelo was a true joy to work with. His responsiveness is best in class. He was thorough in his explanation of the wedding process since we are from the US. He wrote beautiful vows that we could edit and conducted a gorgeous ceremony. Truly a pleasure to work with.

    Helped make our ceremony perfect!

    Marcelo was great to work with and we can't imagine how our ceremony could have been any better! From early on, Marcelo was quick and efficient in gathering any necessary personal information from us. We loved that he shared a draft of the ceremony speech with us ahead of time - and he took any suggestions or additions that we wanted made to the speech! Marcelo had a calming presence during the ceremony that helped us both to relax and be present in the moment! Thanks Marcelo!
