English and Spanish ceremony
My fiance and I couldn't chose a better officiant for our wedding, she payed attention to every detail of the ceremony and guided us really well, since we didn't know the process and what to do. We chose her, because she seemed like someone with charisma, honest, easy going and responsible and we weren't wrong.
We booked Luisa a couple of weeks before the wedding, thank God she was available, then we decided to change the date of our wedding to 1 day before and she was still willing to perform the ceremony. Because of the time and our schedule, it wasn't possible to meet in person, so she arranged a video call to get to know us better and write a custom ceremony in English and Spanish.
The day of the ceremony we forgot to bring the marriage license!!! We all thought there'll be no wedding that day, so my now brother in law went to pick the license up 1 hour away from where the ceremony was, and Luisa was really, really flexible with us, and she waited for the marriage license, we're really thankful with her for helping us out and not just deciding to cancel the ceremony.
The ceremony was beautiful, I was crying all the time and she helped me to breathe and calm down, she made everyone to feel included, since the ceremony was bilingual. I still can't believe how emotional and magical that ceremony was.

Luisa saved my life! My husband and I were planning on getting married at the marriage bureau at the city clerk's office, but realized 3 days before that it would be closed due to veteran's day. In a panic, I contacted about 20 officiants looking for someone who could marry us, as we had family coming in and we had to get married that day. Many wanted me to pay upwards of 500 dollars, some wanted me to travel somewhere that would be more convenient for them, and almost none actually listened when I said what I wanted. Luisa was very responsive, flexible, and enthusiastic! She calmed my nerves and made my wedding really special. Thanks Luisa!Luisa saved my life!

Deanna and I had Luisa officiate our wedding ceremony at Riverside Church in Manhattan on 9/23/17. It was a beautiful ceremony, and one of the most beautiful parts was Luisa! From the first meeting onward, Luisa was very responsive, and really tried to get to know us. The first time we met, Luisa and her wife sat down with us and asked us questions about ourselves, our families, our relationship, and what was important to us in our ceremony. They shared their own stories and advice, and I can honestly say we had a great time talking and sharing with them as people. We were able to personalize our ceremony to really feel like our own, with Luisa sending us fully fledged outlines of what our ceremony would include for us to edit and make notes on as we saw fit. In our case, we had two of our friends perform a song, incorporated an Irish hand-fasting, and invited five of our closest friends to share quotes/readings/stories etc., all within the confines of a 30 minute Christian wedding ceremony. Luisa never missed a beat and it all went off without a hitch. Riverside Church set us up with Luisa, and we never paid her directly for her services, so I can't speak on pricing; but I have no reservations in saying that if you book Luisa, your decision will be worth every penny!Deanna and I had Luisa officiate our wedding ceremony at Riverside Church in Manhattan on 9/23/17.

Loved Luisa - she is so calm and enthusiastic. She also made sure we were happy with every word of the program - helping us craft a few versions until we hit on the one we liked the best. The day was amazing, she is experienced, kind and so pleasant to work with . I'd recommend her without any reservations! You won't go wrong!!Loved Luisa - she is so calm and enthusiastic.

Rev. Luisa is the BEST!! It was like love at first sight. Her energy is so positive. She is such kind and loving person. Such a professional. I honestly felt an immediate connection with her and her assistant Deidre.
She answered all of my questions. She fulfilled her duty as an officiant for our wedding. We had a unity sand ceremony which was absolutely beautiful & touching. My husband and I are extremely grateful to have had her be the one to marry us.
Luisa, we wish you much success. Thank you for making our day so special. We absolutely adore you! Thank you so very much! We will never ever forget you. Big xoxoRev. Luisa is the BEST!!

She delivered our service in both English and Spanish, included personalized writing, and worked with us and the church every step of the way to make sure our special day was perfect.Rev.

My now-husband and I were matched with Rev. Porrata by the Riverside Church, and we could not be more thrilled that she was the one to marry us. During our first meeting with Luisa, she really got to know us and we got to know her as well. We were immediately connected to her through her warm welcome and smiles. She provided us with a lovely ceremony, in both English and Spanish, and helped us to personalize our ceremony; we're honored to have had her as our Officiant on out 5/6/17 wedding! Everything was seamless and perfect, and our friends and family even asked us how long we'd known her, and that she spoke as though we'd all been friends for quite some time. Highly recommend her!My now-husband and I were matched with Rev. Porrata by the Riverside Church, and we could not be more thrilled that she was the one to marry us.

She'll have you fill out a questionnaire to better get to know you, and send you a draft ceremony, which you are welcome to edit and send back to her.

Luisa was such a kind, loving, helpful person who made our ceremony so magical. Our wedding was in Central Park in 90 degrees and Luisa not once let the weather be a concern. Luisa helped me speak my vows in Spanish to my husband, Luisa did such a perfect Ceremony and we are very excited to do our part two ceremony with her. Luisa made me feel like I've known her for years and that she was apart of my family. I highly recommend Luisa if you want a special personalized ceremony.

Rev. Luisa is one of the sweetest people that I've ever met. She was incredibly accommodating, responded quickly to our requests, and ultimately provided the most perfect ceremony at a great price. It was more than I could've asked for especially as my husband and I wanted something short but sweet. She catered to our wants and needs and it was so beautifully worded, that I feel I'll never hear a ceremony quite like this one again. Rev. Luisa is kind, warm, and so wonderful to work with. I highly recommend her!Rev. Luisa is one of the sweetest people that I've ever met.

If you're looking for that person who has that positive energy and good vibes--she is it. We skyped to talk over the event and iron any wrinkles out. She always asked our approval in the moves she made, she was prompt on any phone call, email, she adjusted according to our request, she's just awesome. She kept me calm when the day came and spoke beautifully and naturally to our family and friends, she meshed so well that by the end of everything she felt like a member of my family--that's how familiar her spirit became.If you're looking for that person who has that positive energy and good vibes--she is it.
