Reverend Mercy was absolutely incredible. She helped to make my husband and I’s wedding the best day of our lives. From the beginning of the ceremony planning process to the end, she made sure every detail was covered, and made us feel comfortable and at ease along the way. She was always easily accessible via email, text and zoom. She helped us each edit our vows, and provided suggestions to make them more clear and concise. She was always onboard to include whatever we wanted in the ceremony to make our wedding the most “us”. She is bilingual, so she did a portion of our ceremony in Spanish for some of our guests, and she also helped us with a unique unity ritual where we took tequila shots at the altar! She also coordinated her ceremonial garbs to match the colors of our wedding, above and beyond!
In addition to working with her on our wedding ceremony, we also participated in her milestone preparation sessions, which were similar to couples counseling. These were incredibly helpful, and helped my husband and I to align on things that were important to the both of us moving forward in marriage. We truly believed these session helped bring us closer together as a couple and better prepared us for marriage.
We can’t recommend her enough, any couple that uses her services will not be disappointed. Thank you Reverend Mercy!Rev. Mercy - Bilingual Wedding Officiant's reply:

Unique and fun!
My wife found Rev Mercy at a bridal convention and she came home super excited to have discovered an officiant who was open to a multicultural celebration. Rev Mercy was very communicative and wrote our whole ceremony uniquely for us. She even offered help and guidance throughout the vow process. My friends and family were so happy to see a perfect mix of both of two religions, and they loved how to the ceremony simply celebrated us as a couple becoming one. Would definitely recommend to anyone who wants a completely unique ceremony! -

Mercedes did and amazing and awesome job! Mercedes made OUR LOVE Story the most beautiful, funny and loving memory our guests could ever have. Many of my guests loved how she brought our love story to life. From how we met to how we formed a beautiful blended family. It was a pleasure to have Mercedes officer our wedding because we have known each other since high school. That’s over 20+ years ago, how amazing is that!!! Thank you Mercedes for standing under our coffin arch! You are the BEST!!! 💜💜💜💚💚💚Rev. Mercy - Bilingual Wedding Officiant's reply:
Hi Susy,
Thank you so much for giving me the honor of standing under your coffin arch, lol! Also, thank you for honoring all of us with your beautiful self rocking that black wedding gown! I've watch Say Yes to the Dress and seen so many women get talked out of wearing a black dress, so you are awesome! You looked amazing!
Of course, I plan for us to keep in touch like we have already. Definitely keep me posted on all your news. Give my love to Mario, the kids, and your parents!

The ceremony of my dreams
Rev Mercy went above and beyond for us when personalizing and writing our ceremony. Coming in from Texas I was nervous about booking someone who I had not met in person but through our video calls and various messages, phone calls that wasn’t necessary! I would recommend her to anyone who is looking to have a personalized memorable ceremony. She is passionate about her profession and so kind hearted and it shows on how she carry’s herself and her business! 10/10 experienceRev. Mercy - Bilingual Wedding Officiant's reply:

She helped create a beautiful bilingual, bicultural ceremony for us
Rev Mercy was EXACTLY what we were looking for! She went above and beyond to meet us and get to know us in order to create a beautiful ceremony for us and allowed us to proofread and make sure it was what we wanted. Not only that but she was able to make it bilingual for both of our families to understand and when i made changes to it (during the ceremony!) she was so understanding and just flowed with my requests. She created a beautiful bilingual, bicultural ceremony for us. We really could not have asked for a better person to marry us.Rev. Mercy - Bilingual Wedding Officiant's reply:
Hi Joana,
Thank you for taking the time to write two different reviews on two sites! Also, thank you for these gorgeous pictures! It really was an honor to officiate for you and Ashwin, and to get to meet your family and friends. Everyone was so lovely. No worries about the changes during the ceremony. I think it was hotter than any of us expected that day!
Again, feel free to keep me up-to-date with any news you may want to share.
May your home be filled with love and joy always!
With love and gratitude,

Victoria Sent on 01/23/2023She’s amazing. No need to look further!
I couldn’t have had a better officiant and that’s the honest truth. She was so incredibly kind and attentive. My husband and I are not religious whatsoever but we did have religious family attend our ceremony and we were a bit nervous about that. She made us feel confident in having the ceremony we wanted but respectful to those who attended. She took care of everything! She took the time to get to know us and our relationship as a whole. She was on time and before I could remember what I needed to do she was there ready!! We love you Mercy!Rev. Mercy - Bilingual Wedding Officiant's reply:
Hi Victoria,
Thank you for another glowing review! Also, thank you for these beautiful pictures! I absolutely love the Knot picture! It's so great. Again, I absolutely love working with you and Chris and I look forward to hearing about your happenings in the future. Wishing you lots of love and happiness.

Beautiful Ceremony
My Husband and I are so happy we hired Rev. Mercy to be our officiant. We had a great first meeting with her where we described our love story to her. She was able to illustrate that wonderfully to our guests during our ceremony. She translated everything in Spanish as well. We chose to be married during a full moon and to include a hand fasting ceremony. Rev. Mercy is very knowledgeable on these traditions and rituals, we highly recommend her. We received many compliments on our beautiful and unique ceremony. Thank you Rev. Mercy! 💜Rev. Mercy - Bilingual Wedding Officiant's reply:
Hi Delsy,

May your lifetime together be filled with love and happiness. Please feel free to keep me posted on your happenings.

Mercedes was so easy and such a pleasure to work with! Having someone that took the time to get to know us and really understand our love story made our Ceremony that much more special.

Book Mercy!
Mercy designed a beautiful fully bilingual Spanish/English ceremony. She gave us the opportunity to give input beforehand. A lot of guests told us that it was one of the best ceremonies they’ve attended. It did go slightly longer than expected on the day of, but not an issue because we loved it so much!Rev. Mercy - Bilingual Wedding Officiant's reply:
Hi Ariana,

It was obvious that you took your ceremony and the spiritual commitment of marriage very seriously and so it was such a pleasure to create a ceremony that reflected that as well as your love story. I also really loved meeting your family and friends. They were also so lovely and welcoming.
Thank you as well for the beautiful photo!

Natasha F. Sent on 12/31/2022Choosing Reverend Mercy was the best decision that I could make!
If you're looking for an amazing officiant who can give a personalized and heartwarming speech at your wedding then look no further. Choosing Reverend Mercy was one of the best decisions that I made for our wedding. Even though we only met her twice before our big day, it felt like meeting an old friend because she was so kind and sweet from the very beginning. Firstly, she has a gift for asking the most thought provoking questions that helps her get to know the couple. Questions that even my husband and I needed to explore together as a couple. Looking back on our ceremony, I have no doubt that having the opportunity to speak with her helped solidify our bond more. Secondly, she crafted an impeccable speech that enlightened and moved everyone at our ceremony--including my husband and I. I cannot imagine a more wonderful person to speak about our relationship, our past, and what we hope for our future on our big day.Rev. Mercy - Bilingual Wedding Officiant's reply:
Hi Natasha,
Thank you for such a lovely review! I absolutely loved working with you and Gary from the very beginning. It was so evident that you took the spiritual commitment you were making very seriously. I am so humbled and glad that you and Gary are so happy with my work. I also enjoyed meeting your family and friends; they were all so lovely.
May your life together be filled with love and happiness. Please keep me posted on your happenings. I would love to hear about them.

Rev Mercy will make your wedding unforgettable!
We are so happy that we went with Rev. Mercy for our wedding. Several guests including people in their 60s and 70s told us that it was hands down the best ceremony that they had ever been to. Prior to talking to Rev. Mercy we were a bit anxious about hiring an officiant since most of our friends had used other friends. However, from the first time we spoke to Rev. Mercy we felt really excited to be working with a professional -- she is so knowledgable about so many spiritualities and religions. From our first conversation she had truly great ideas about how to incorporate our different spiritual practices (Jewish and Pagan), and came with context and historical knowledge that made the traditions feel meaningful rather than rote. As a queer couple, we also appreciated that Rev Mercy always used gender inclusive language and was excited about discussing which traditions we'd want to use, and other ones we'd want to update to make them feel more relevant to us. Rev Mercy took a lot of time to get to know us and hear our love story, and her first draft of our ceremony was so amazing that we only did a few slight edits to get to the final version. She's also a wonderful speaker, and made the ceremony feel like time stopped both for us and the guests. It feels like Rev Mercy was meant to do this kind of work - she was so thoughtful with how the ceremony was put together it was truly one of a kind. Thank you so much, Rev Mercy! If you are reading this review you should definitely reach out and talk to Rev Mercy - she truly made the wedding day so special and memorable.Rev. Mercy - Bilingual Wedding Officiant's reply:
Hi MacKenna,
Thank you so much for such a beautiful review and for sharing this lovely photo! I was so honored you chose me as your officiant. I loved your love story and I was so excited to help you tell it within the context of a Jewish and Pagan ceremony. I'm so glad to hear you and your guests and family loved it.
I wish you and Tasha all the love and happiness in the world. Please feel free to keep me posted on all your happenings.
With love and gratitude,

Working with Mercedes was a joy. She really took the time to get to know us and was able to put a ceremony together that truly represented us. She was incredibly kind and responsive. She was able to encapsulate exactly what we wanted and execute it with ease. I already know who to call if we ever renew our vows down the line.
Having her officiate your wedding is a choice you won't regret!Rev. Mercy - Bilingual Wedding Officiant's reply:

Nicole Sent on 12/11/2021I highly recommend Reverend Mercy!
Reverend Mercy did an absolutely wonderful job officiating our wedding in September 2021. Not only does her kindness, professionalism, and charm stand out, she was incredibly flexible given the ever-changing Covid climate. She is truly amazing. She did our ceremony in both English and Spanish with ease. My Cuban family very much appreciated that. I highly recommend Reverend Mercy!Rev. Mercy - Bilingual Wedding Officiant's reply:

Leondra Sent on 12/09/2021Best Officiant Ever!!
Mercy is one of the best decisions we've made for our wedding! When we first met with her, we knew that she would be the perfect fit. She was kind, smart, funny, and nerdy, just like us! She also was able to provide a secular ceremony in both English and Spanish which was what we wanted. She also personalized our ceremony, implementing multiple family / cultural traditions with care and attentiveness, having done research on the customs and checking in to ensure we were comfortable with the language. I couldn't have asked for a better officiant and I would highly recommend Mercy for anyone seeking a professional and custom service. -
