    Heartfelt and perfectly worded service

    We booked our officiant 2 weeks before our wedding because one of us, cough cough (husband) forgot to book one (I only reminded him 234,984,106 times (not enough times apparently HAHAHA) so we needed a miracle!!!!!!! God delivered through The Officiants and gave us a literal miracle: Milagros aka Milly Blanco aka THE VERY BEST OFFICIANT EVERRRRRRR!!!!!! She literally painted the most BEAUTIFUL picture of exactly how our love story turned into a MARRIAGE and told it to our guests in such a way that brought me to tears. Immediately after the ceremony my now husband and i looked at each other and one of the first things we said was "WOW!!!!!!!! HOW DID SHE DO THAT?!?!?!?" We were in awe at how perfectly she was able to tell our story-it felt like she had known us for years! I felt like our ceremony was one of the most BEAUTIFULLY WORDED ceremonies I've ever heard. I could not have asked for a BETTER experience!!!!!!! And, do it in Spanish too!!!! I am pleased beyond WORDS. MILLY, i hope you truly understand how THANKFUL i am that we were so lucky to get you and how PERFECT you were for our wedding. You are truly AMAZING at what you do. So many people came up to me to compliment how IMPRESSED they were!!! With such little time to prepare, i cannot believe you were able to bring it all to life on our big day. After talking with you i was immediately comforted and felt you had it all under control!!!! For a bride that felt like I had so much to do in such little time, you TRULY made the experience a BEAUTIFUL one...and for that, you just can't put a price tag on it. THANK YOUUUUUUUU, AGAIN!!!!!!!!!!!! God bless you guys for ALL you do!!!!!!!!!!!

    Greatest officiant of all time (g.o.o.a. T)

    First, I would like to publicly "Thank You" Ramiro Malagon for making our wedding ceremony so special and heartwarming. Thank you for accepting to be part of our celebration.

    What can we say? Ramiro was an absolute professional who made the entire process so easy. We feel so blessed to have had Ramiro marry us on the night of our wedding. He took his time to explain in great detail on all the steps of making our marriage official. He perform the ceremony in both English and in Spanish for both of our families to understand. Which was AMAZING!!!! The service was truly an A+++ in our eyes. Ramiro was a true gentleman, and even a better officiant. I urge anybody looking for an officiant in South Florida, to hire Ramiro. A wedding will be the most special day in your life. 30 minutes can go as quick as a blink of an eye, and when he united us, we both can agree it was the most precious moment we will cherish forever.

    Thank you Ramiro. Thank you for all that you have done for us.

    Stay blessed and keep blessing!

    Ted was great!

    Ted did an amazing job officiating our vow renewal ceremony. He got a feel for what we were looking for in our ceremony and ran with it. He is very well spoken and even threw in some humor for us. Our guests commented on how awesome he was, and we agree!

    Excellent!

    My husband and I had the pleasure of having Dominic Church officiate our wedding yesterday, April 18, 2020. We had to change our original wedding plans due to the Coronavirus pandemic and although our wedding was much smaller than we originally planned and mostly attended through Zoom, Dominic made our day feel so special and personal. He's extremely kind and professional and we both felt very comfortable. We highly recommend him to anyone looking for an amazing officiant for their special day.

    Recommend 100%

    Ted Church was absolutely the best. Getting an officiant I thought would be tough but he made the whole process very easy and answered all of our questions and accommodated us perfectly. His speech/vows the day of were perfect and added in a section for my brother and father in law who passed away, it was very beautiful. I highly recommend!

    Perfect Intimate Wedding

    Highly recommended! Ted did an Amazing Job. He customized a ceremony for just my wife and I. He was also very flexible and helpful. When we discovered that the beach would be too crowded for the ceremony, we were able to move to a nearby park that ended up being the perfect setting for us. Thanks Ted!

    Excellent Officiant

    Words cannot describe the amazing experience we had by having Rev. Ted Church as our Officiant, and we could not have chosen someone better. Rev. Church was excellent, he took into consideration everything we spoke to him about and wrote an incredibly beautiful ceremony. All the guests who attended our ceremony raved about him, and my husband and I were static. Our ceremony was personal, touching, and meaningful not only to the two of us, but to our family. Being my second wedding, I could not get married in a Catholic Church a second time, but Rev. Church made it as beautiful if not more so than if we would have had a church wedding.
    In addition, dealing with The Officiants from day one was simple, easy, and hassle free. I urge anyone looking for a beautiful ceremony to contact The Officiants and request Rev. Ted Church, you can rest assure that you will have the best of the best.

    Great wedding service

    We had so many compliments on my daughter's wedding service that I had to write a review. It was a mixed faith marriage, so the bride and groom decided they did not want anything too religious. They wanted something more personal and romantic. Ted Church delivered. I think we had over 100 compliments on the service. Some of the guests wanted copies of the poem and parts of the service that Rev. Church read. It was the start of a magical evening. I would recommend Ted Church if you are in need of an officiant and you want something very personal.

    Perfect Ceremony

    We are not a religious couple but we still wanted a special ceremony and someone who would make that moment perfect for us. The Officiants were so professional and quick with responses, which really made us feel we made the right decision! Dominic was our main contact, but his father Ted was our guy the day of! He really ensured that the ceremony was perfectly us! I laughed, I cried, and I will remember it forever. Ted, we cannot thank you enough, you truly met and exceeded our expectations!

    - Lauren & Keith

    The Officiants's reply:

    I am so glad everything worked out perfectly for you both! My dad certainly sets the bar high :-) We both wish you many years of love and happiness -- Dominic

    Beautiful, personal ceremony that felt very "us"

    Ted was fantastic to work with. From the moment my husband and I met him, we felt at ease. He has a really calming personality (which was key for a type-A, out-of-state bride like me haha). He assured me that the ceremony would be perfect, and it was! Ted created a ceremony that was heartfelt, romantic, and very "us." He even found a way to weave in our moms, which meant the world to them...and to us. If you're looking to have a beautiful and personal ceremony, book Ted ASAP.

    The Officiants is the best!

    We can’t thank Dominic enough on how amazing our ceremony was on our big day. From the moment we first spoke to him he made every meeting with him so effortless and smooth. He always made himself available to us if we had any questions or concerns. He provided ideas and suggestions that we didn’t even think of to do for our ceremony – we are so glad we took his advice! We received so many compliments on our ceremony and how beautiful it was. We are so glad that we chose the Officiants – we highly recommend them!

    The Officiants's reply:

    Thank you for the kind feedback, Jessica! It was truly wonderful working with you and Michael. I'm glad I got to be a part of your special day! - Dominic

    Thank you so much for everything! Rev. Scott did an amazing job and I couldn't ask for anything more.
    I was getting nervous when he said we will say our vows (because I advised him that we didn't write vows) but when he started to read them for us I was relieved and Rev Scott's words were perfect as if he had known us forever. He made the process easy and memorable!
    Everyone thought he did an amazing job. His tone was very soothing and calming when we spoke. He also accommodated us with the last name because we were going thru a name change around the same time as the marriage. I'm grateful to have Rev. Scott as our officiant. We love him!

    Scott was fantastic. Every detail of our ceremony was perfectly executed with the help of Scott. He was very detail oriented and made sure both my husband and myself were comfortable with the ceremony choices, wording, timing, etc. I 100% recommend and am more than pleased with my own personal experience.

    Reverend Ted made our ceremony absolutely perfect. We did a destination wedding, so going into it we didn’t know Rev. Ted. He made us feel like he’s known us for years. The service was focused on our faith and each other. He incorporated our Bible verse beautifully, and honored our moms in the most special way. It was the perfect length of time, and it brought tears to everyone’s eyes. All our guests were commenting about how incredible the service was!

    Dominic officiated our wedding in April, and we couldn't have asked for anyone better! Dominic was very responsive and accommodating, encouraged us to be very participatory in our ceremony with coming of with elements that were important to us to make it our own. He we there to help every step of the way. Even with some last minute changes, he was very flexible. I would HIGHLY recommend Dominic to anyway in the south Florida area! He was the best!

    we also received many compliments from our families towards Dominic and how great he was with our ceremony!

    thank you again!

    Jenna & Andrew

    Ted,

    Eric and I would love to thank you for a beautifully written service and ceremony, it which really showed our personality.

    You were comfortable, listened to what we wanted, and presented it well. We really wanted an officiant who was relatable, and adaptable to who we are and he did just that.

    He really represented our relationship as fun, loyal And true.
    We couldn't have picked a better officiant you remained cool and collective even when the candles weren't lighting, lol. Even had a line to cover up the candles going out, lol.

    Thank You for being on time and your tie even matched the wedding colors!!

    With Love,
    Mr & Mrs O'Neal

    My Mom wanted me to have a Church wedding so we called upon Dominic Church (see what I did there?) at South Florida Officiants. Dom did a great job helping us plan our ceremony, he even included some Hawaiian readings which I wasn't expecting. Everything was seamless and professional, it couldn't have been less stressful. Thank you very much SFO.

    As a bride, I was stressed about finding a great officiant. The ceremony is the most important part of the wedding, were the bride and groom say their vows and profess their love in front of each other and everyone. I had questions upon questions, and Ramiro was great. He was attentive and responded to all my emails and text messages. We added and removed things and he was open to every request we had. The ceremony went great and we were very happy with the outcome. He has a Spanish accent, but his English was so well understood. The reason I bring this up, is because even if you want an English only ceremony, he is a great choice. You will not be disappointed! We were so happy with him and his services!

    I began my journey about a year and a half ago. I was trying to put together a budget and realized I needed to determine how much an officiant would cost. So I came onto Wedding Wire and I searched. I looked through many profiles and prices. Dominic's seemed the most reasonable, and I liked that his website was not just about religious ceremonies but that he had the experience of culture and non-denominational ceremonies.

    So I started messaging with him and decided to hire him. Dominic was there for me and my husband every step of the way. He helped with research and bringing together our wedding customs and traditions, we ended up having a Persian ceremony with Chinese elements and it flowed so beautifully!

    Seriously, if you want quality support through this process I would hire Dominic again in a heart beat.

    Dominic was absolutely amazing. Very affordable, easy to communicate with, and led our beautiful ceremony that everyone keeps talking about. He took care of the marriage license for us, gave us ideas for readings and vows that would suit us perfectly, and was an overall great guy. Highly recommend Dominic and his company! Thanks again Dominic!
