Michelle B. Sent on 10/26/2022The most amazing personal ceremony!
Rev. Natalia made our ceremony the best part of our wedding day! She made us feel so truly special from the moment we met. Our ceremony was so personalized, it was better than we could have imagined. My husbands family is Portuguese and it was important to us that all our guests were able to feel a part of the ceremony. Revered Natalia spoke in English and in Portuguese throughout the entire ceremony. It was beautiful! She told our story, she found the most beautiful vows for us, and she even sang the Ave Maria in Portuguese. We received so many beautiful compliments on our ceremony. We feel blessed to have found not only an amazing officiant but a beautiful new friend as well. -

Planned the Perfect Bilingual Ceremony
We had an instant connection with Rev. Natalia from the first phone call. We are an interracial and intercultural couple (white American and Dominican American) and wanted a bilingual ceremony in English and Spanish to include all family members. Additionally, we both come from Catholic families but are now agnostic, so we needed to we've in spirituality and faith in a way that appeased relatives who wanted to see us married in the Church but did not compromise our own beliefs. Over several zoom calls, she got to know us and constructed the perfect 30 minute bilingual ceremony with our personal story and a couple readings (one a poem in English, one 1 Corinthians 13 in Spanish). It was exactly what we wanted and was perfect to who we are as a couple. Our audience enjoyed that it was inclusive to all and celebrated not just our love but the union of two families and cultures. I cannot recommend her enough, especially for couples from different religious, ethnic, or cultural backgrounds! -

Riva Sent on 10/17/2022Compassionate and fun filled ceremony
We contacted Rev. Natalia several months prior to our wedding, and it was immediately clear from our first call with her that she really cares about her couples and telling their story. Along the way, she continued to share her deep knowledge and allowed space for us to incorporate the elements that we wanted in the ceremony. Rev. Natalia was very communicative throughout the entire process, and we received so many lovely compliments about the ceremony from our guests. We cannot recommend her enough!! -

No one could have done it better!
Since my husband is from Brazil, it was really important to me that we chose someone who speaks English and Brazilian Portuguese, which was not easy to find. His family speaks English, but some of our guests did not and they were overwhelmed with joy when they heard Natalia speaking in Portuguese for them! Everyone raved (still to this day) about how amazing she was! Her passion really shines through in her work! She took the time to get to know us on a personal level, she was very detail oriented and very organized. She even helped me prepare a reading in Portuguese (because even after 9 years together, I still can’t speak Portuguese 😭)
We highly recommend Natalia, she brings a whole new energy you didn’t know you needed! -

Abby Sent on 09/30/2022Caring Officiant who Tells your Love Story
We were recommended Rev. Natalia from a friend who had seen her at several other weddings. Rev. Natalia quickly becomes a family friend in addition to a wedding vendor. Our main concern was that we wanted our ceremony to tell our love story and focus more on us and our family than religion. Even though Rev. Natalia can do many kinds of ceremonies, she got it and did a wonderful job telling our story with laughter and joy. It was the perfect ceremony and even our Photographer and Venue Managers said it was in the top 5 ceremonies they had ever seen! Thank you Reverend Natalia!Rev. Natalia de Rezendes Interfaith Minister's reply:
Absoblumingly Awesome Wedding......
In gratitude for having had the opportunity to perform this ceremony....

Alfred M. Sent on 02/16/2020Wonderful personal service
We were looking online for a justice of the peace and really got lucky to have found so much better with Reverend Natalia! From the moment we initially called her on the phone and throughout the entire process, Natalia made us feel so welcome and at ease. She created a wonderful personalized ceremony for us based on questions we answered for her during our initial meeting. She was very organized and allowed us to have the ceremony in her house, after we realized it would be much too cold to have the ceremony outside at our chosen gazebo in February. She added her style of spirituality into the ceremony that made it extra special. We highly recommend Reverend Natalia. Thank you. -

In just a few short weeks, Rev. Natalia helped us plan and execute a personal and intimate bilingual (English and Spanish) wedding ceremony. She listened to what we wanted and helped us craft a ceremony that was flowed from Spanish to English and vice versa.

Natalia is one of the most special people you will ever meet. She took the time to meet with us, listen to our story, and help us create a ceremony that was unique, heartfelt, and personal. She composed our ceremony by listening to our ideas and providing guidance where needed. She even helped coach me to sing during the ceremony as a special surprise for my groom. There was not a dry eye! Thanks Natalia for your friendship and for making our day extremely special and memorable. We will never forget it. I would highly recommend Natalia!! -

Our Wonderful Day
Natalia De Rezendes officiated our wedding in October of 2018. It was a beautiful service. Natalia understood the meaning of the day and designed a service that reflected the specialness of the moment. From the start, Natalia make us feel very comfortable with the service, spending time with us discussing our ceremony. She is very personable and easy to talk to. Natalia gets to know you as a person. Her background and life experiences give her insights to planning a service. Her background that includes a masters in Music Education, teacher, a professional singer, a minster and a person who takes an interest in the cultures of the world allows her to develop brilliant ideas to make the day unique for everyone. Her background in music was of a great benefit when discussing our musical selections and for our wedding. She provided valuable insights on how to incorporated our desires into actuality within the service. She collaborated with us to have different elements shape themselves into one fully blended ceremony that moved effortlessly from one aspect to another, whether it was from readings that came from the bible or from E.E. Cummings, wrapping of hands, to a sand glass the ceremony more seamlessly with the unifying themes of caring and love. After the ceremony many of our guests remarked that the ceremony was “simply beautiful.” That is the gift of Natalia, taking a service and turning into a memorial loving ceremony.Rev. Natalia de Rezendes Interfaith Minister's reply:

Ann Sent on 07/25/2018We loved working with Natalia to craft our wedding ceremony. I had grown up Catholic, and my husband had no faith tradition, and Natalia listened to our stories and blended together something that was meaningful for us and felt authentic. Our (mostly Catholic) guests raves that they had never seen a ceremony like ours before, but they loved it! We met twice at Natalia’s home, which was located easily off the highway, and happened to be halfway between our home and the wedding venue. We loved Natalia, and would 10/10 recommend her to other couples.
