    PR Wedding Officiant Who Loves What She Does

    Rev. Ogla is following her passion and it shows. She traveled from Vieques to San Juan for our wedding. On our first phone call, we didn't know what to expect. Rev Ogla took the time and effort to get to know us and put us at ease. From that point, we knew that she was the perfect officiant for us. Everyone remarked how much they enjoyed the ceremony because it was so personalized to us. After the ceremony, Rev Ogla helped us fill out our paperwork for our marriage license from Puerto Rico. I would highly recommend her.

    The Exceptional Wedding's reply:

    Thank you Katie!
    It was a joy to work with you and meet you. I believe in what I am doing and you are correct, it is my passion.
    Blessings to you and yours,
    Rev.Ogla

    Rev Olga was instrumental in minimizing wedding day stress and delivering a heartfelt ceremony for us. She also personally helped us navigate paperwork on the island and find a photographer. Very grateful for her commitment to our special day!

    Exceptional

    Hiring Ogla as our officiant was the smartest thing we did for our wedding in Puerto Rico. She's responsive, professional, kind, really listens to your needs, and remains positive about sun even when it rains the entire week of your wedding. Getting married in P.R. isn't necessarily the easiest and she made the process so much easier for us and helped us get through all the red tape. She created the most incredibly ceremony that moved our family to tears. Thank you, Ogla for making our day so incredibly special!

    The Exceptional Wedding's reply:

    Thank you Amy and Brian. It was a true joy for me to work with you. I enjoyed learning about your adventures that led you toward the pulpit. I know that you and Brian are perfect for each other.

    My best wishes, Ogla

    Truly exceptional!

    Rev Ogla is first class. She guided us through the paperwork process and helped secure appointments upon arrival to Vieques. Rev Ogla was professional, very responsive and took a personal approach for our ceremony by getting to know us beforehand. She is truly exceptional and give her the highest recommendation.

    The Exceptional Wedding's reply:

    I am so grateful to have met you and have worked with you both.

    I know that your union is a blessing to each other and to the world. Rev. Ogla

    Great wedding

    Ogla was an amazing host. She helped us get all the paper work together. She pointed us in the right direction and even had a few ppl help us since we was not familiar with PR. I would definitely refer her to future couples who are looking to get married in PR. she is nice kind and willing to work with you to make your wedding memorable.

    The Exceptional Wedding's reply:

    Thank you Ruben. It was a joy to work with you and Fantasia. May you continue to make love the opening and closing door of your home. Blessings, Rev. Ogla

    I don't have enough wonderful things to say about Ogla. She is truly amazing. Leading up to our wedding, she was open, communicative, and responsive to any comments or concerns we had. She sent us copies of the ceremony that she had written out for us and allowed us to make any comments or suggestions. During our actual ceremony, she did an incredible job. She was so powerful, spiritual, and lovely-- everyone was absolutely amazed by her. All of the groomsmen were in tears!!! Additionally- I found out after the wedding that our event coordinator showed up ten minutes after the wedding was supposed to begin, and Ogla helped my mother in a pinch! I highly recommend Dr. Ogla Silva without any hesitation or doubts. If she officiates your wedding, you will be so incredibly pleased with her. We love her!

    Ogla was exceptional. She took the time to speak with us to get to know our love story and incorporated every aspect of our relationship in the ceremony. She made our ceremony incredibly special and personal. Her words were kind, loving, and warm. Us and our guests could not stop raving about how well the ceremony was preformed and how great Ogla is.

    Anyone who knows Puerto Rico, knows that there are hundreds of beautiful beaches. Ogla drove to the beach (arrived early!) of our choice in Rincon (which was not a quick or easy route no matter where she drove from).

    If we had questions, she was there to answer them. She is incredibly responsive by email and text message. This was especially helpful because I am a worrisome law student. After the ceremony she took care of all of the necessary steps to have our marriage license recorded with the State.

    We are incredibly fortunate to have come across her. If you are deciding on who should be your officiant on your special day, PLEASE contact Ogla. She is beyond words amazing!

    Thank you again Ogla!

    Olga is an incredible officiant!

    Olga was amazing from start to finish. She was incredibly positive, receptive, reliable and responsive. She made us feel very comfortable throughout the process and when a natural disaster interfered with our ability to obtain our license, she immediately gave us options. She created the perfect ceremony for us! We totally recommend Olga without any reservation.

    Wonderful ceremony

    Rev. Ogla is amazing! I recommend her to anyone looking to get married in Puerto Rico. Our experience was great. Ogla contacted us before the wedding to get to know us and created ceremony that was personal to us. She's personal and professional. On the wedding day she arrived early to make sure everything goes smooth at the ceremony and even stayed late for additional mini ceremony at the reception dinner. And lastly, she's also helped us to get a marriage certificate mailed to the US. Overall great experience.
    We're very thankful to Ogla for being our officiant!

    Professional and intimate

    Ogla took the time to get to know my husband and I before hand so our vows would be meaningful. She even took great consideration into our beliefs and the verbiage in which we were comfortable with so that our vows were tailored completely to us and no one else. She was flexible with our elopement dates and even picked up our certificate for us since we were not local.
    Ogla was very attentive to my wants as an eloping bride. She kept into consideration the fact that I wasn’t going to have anyone with me and was willing to do whatever to make my vision come true. If I could do it over again, I would still choose Ogla.

    Wonderful!

    Olga made us feel So comfortable and confident she would do a great job! She did a wonderful job! I would go back to her every time. I didn’t have a lot of input on what we wanted aside from simple, she listened to us and our stories and made a wonderful service for us. It couldn’t have been better!

    Perfect Officiate for the perfect day.....

    Ogla was amazing! She schedule time with us for a personal interview to get to know us. Her service was a perfect representation of our feelings and love for each other! It was as if she knew us. We had an unusual circumstance that caused us to reschedule our trip. She was very accommodating and adjusted to the new date. She provided some great suggestions. Her service brought tears to our eyes. She cared enough to make the service personal. Her process to ensure you have all the required documents to obtain your license was spot on. She met us at the Demographic Office on Vieques to walk us through completing all the necessary paperwork for our marriage license. No need to look any other further. You will not be sorry!

    We highly recommend Olga. Since we had a destination wedding, we were not able to meet she until the day of the wedding. Despite that, she did a great job of getting to know us over the phone and making the ceremony feel very personable and unique to us. Additionally, she has a very peaceful and joyful disposition that added a wonderful vibe to our wedding (and helped calm our nerves). We couldn’t be happier.

    Ogla was wonderful from the planning stages, to the day itself, and beyond. She was punctual, gave a lovely personalized ceremony, and was a pleasure to work with! Her rate is super affordable and cannot be beat for everything she does. You can tell that she truly enjoys her job and her primary goal is to make the ceremony as special and memorable for you as possible. Thank you, Ogla! - Tiffany & Scott

    Ogla was incredible every step of the way. We were denied by other officiants because we are a same sex couple. For Olga, she said her only requirement was that we love each other and both want to take the next step into marriage. This was an amazing response that immediately put us at ease and we knew we could trust her. Ogla was able to create a perfect ceremony that truly represented our love. Our guests were talking about how special the ceremony was all night! She included our family members and was able to speak in both English and Spanish to accommodate both sides. She was reliable and always responded almost immediately to all of our questions. Ogla also guided us through the marriage license process which was a little daunting for us, but her patience and guidance got us through! We highly recommend Ogla - she is amazing!

    Ogla was EVERYTHING we could have hoped for and more. She took the time to really get to know our story and what has brought us to this point in our lives of wanted to take this next step of becoming husband and wife. She listened to what makes our relationship unique. She was willing to accommodate our Spanish AND English speaking guests. She was so detail oriented and really made our special day even that more special. We truly appreciate her traveling into the main land with her husband to be a part of our wedding. Thank You Ogla! -Adriana & Manny Vargas

    No need to look any further! I first want to start out by saying Ogla was the best decision we made when it came to our wedding. We received more compliments on our ceremony then anything else. It was so personalized, that people thought we knew her prior to our wedding. There wasn't a dry eye in the house! She even went over and above to help us get our documents expedited for military needs. Being a lesbian, we were initially apprehensive looking for an officiant, but Ogla was very disarming and made the whole process and enjoyable experience!

    I had no idea what to expect when searching for an officiant for our destination wedding. When I came across The Exceptional Wedding on Wedding Wire, the first thing I immediately sought to were the great reviews. I prayed and hoped that the reviews were accurate. Rev. Olga was our officiant. She was everything I hoped she would be. She took the time to speak with my husband and I prior to our wedding to hear our love story and get a great sense of our love. She asked all the right questions to make sure that should could deliver a beautiful ceremony and that she did!!!

    We also used her services to get our marriage certificate. When I received our certificate, I noticed there was a mistake on my husband's birthday. Rev. Olga made sure to get it corrected and mailed us the new certificate.

    Overall, we had an amazing experience with Rev. Olga. Even our wedding guest and bridal party raved about how great and heartfelt our ceremony was!

    On April 11th our daughter was married on escambron beach in Puerto Rico by the most amazing, accommodating, and sweetest woman named Ogla Silva. Ten months before we were to arrive for the wedding we contracted with Ogla and she never disappointed. She was so helpful in every aspect of planning, as we live in ny. She even went above and beyond by ordering and picking up a cake for us. Wow!! We definitely chose right! Ogla, discreetly let me know that she hadn't received my payment in the mail. She was so professional and worked with us. I have nothing negative to say about Ogla. I highly recommend her services.
