    Iris is a sweet soul and great officiant

    Iris was kind and we could tell she had a lot of experience. She made the day so special for us. We met her beforehand to select what she would say during the ceremony. Everything was articulate and well said. She has a calming energy. She can do Spanish and English and the day was perfect.

    November 2025 Garden Wedding

    Iris was very easy to work with. She gave us a really nice ceremony that we are both really happy with. Fluent in both English and Spanish and with traditional Catholic vows. This was exactly what we needed. Strongly recommend

    Perfect Day

    Iris was the perfect choice. Out of everyone that I researched I am confident that we found the best match for us. It went so well in fact, a friend asked how we found her.
    From the first contact and throughout the whole process she was quick to respond. Her dedication to creating a moment that reflected our individual wants is something to be admired. I asked for some changes in her speech - I wanted to compare love to a train and include some classic song lyrics- and guys she nailed it. She was incredibly patient with my request. It was not silly, rather honest and thoughtful. I will always treasure her words spoken for us.

    Wedding Minister 1's reply:

    Cynthia, thanks so much for your kind words. It was a pleasure working with you. I truly enjoyed putting your ceremony together, I learned a lot about country music, specifically about trains. Wish you both all the happiness life has to offer. Thanks again for trusting me with your special day.

    5 Stars – A Truly Exceptional Officiant!

    From the moment I saw Iris’s photo, her radiant smile stood out—and meeting her in person confirmed the warmth and kindness behind it. She is a genuinely compassionate and thoughtful person who made a beautiful impact on the wedding day.
    Iris performed the ceremony in a beautiful blend of Spanish and English, making it inclusive and meaningful for everyone present. She offered wonderful advice and suggestions to help the bride and groom choose vows that truly reflected their love and personalities.
    On the day of the wedding, when things got a little chaotic and I was feeling frustrated, Iris remained calm and reassuring. She helped me refocus and enjoy the moment. She has a calming energy and a pleasant demeanor that made everything feel more manageable and joyful.
    Iris is more than just an officiant—she’s a guide, a calming force, and a beautiful soul. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone who brings heart, professionalism, and grace to their special day.

    Wedding Minister 1's reply:

    Oh Vicky you are so kind, thanks for your words of encouragement. I do love what I do. It was my pleasure. Blessings to you and your beautiful family.

    Perfect Bilingual Wedding Officiant

    Iris was the absolute best wedding officiant me and my wife could ask for. From start to finish the process of creating the ceremony felt very personal and professional. We also loved how she was able to curate the wedding to be in both Spanish and English to accommodate my wife and I's family. It felt very personal and intimate, and we could not ask for anything better! Highly recommended!

    Lovely ceremony!

    Iris was so pleasant to work with. She understood our needs for a non-religious, multicultural wedding ceremony. She even learned to pronounce a Vietnamese greeting to my family. The ceremony was beautiful and my family really appreciated the extra touch.

    Wedding Minister 1's reply:

    Kristine thanks for your kind words. It was my pleasure working with you and Nick. I was nervous about pronouncing the words in Vietnamese, but I think I did ok. Wishing you and Nick all the happiness in the world.

    She was amazing!

    Iris was amazing to work with from the moment I messaged her. She was responsive and flexible to meet with us. She was so kind and personable when we met in person. She was timely and the price point was absolutely affordable. She made our ceremony so heartfelt/personal and allowed for bilingual components without making the ceremony so long. She was also supportive of whatever level of religion we wanted. Iris was such a joy to work with and you can just feel the compassion she has when you meet her. It was an honor to have her as our officiant.

    Wedding Minister 1's reply:

    Jordan and Estefano, thank you for choosing me to be your officiant. I enjoyed meeting all of your family, they were so welcoming. Also thanks for inviting me to stay for dinner, it was delicious and the company was great. Wishing you both the best. Iris

    20 Year Anniversary/Vows Renewal

    We hired Iris as the officiant for our Vows Renewal ceremony. We organized it as a wedding. Working with Iris was really smooth. We met 3 and a half months before the event to go over the plan and details. We re-connected a few days prior to the event. Iris worked very well with our planner. Everything was perfect on the day of. Iris has a vibrant personality, and we loved how she adapted to our multi-cultural needs, even saying a ew words in French. It was so special to see her get a little emotional during the exchange of our vows, which showed how she truly cares about the meaning of the ceremony and how authentic she is. We strongly recommend her service.

    Wedding Minister 1's reply:

    Merci pour vos gentils mots. Your family was very nice and sweet. Working with you guys was easy, because you both are very nice. Gracias por la oportunidad de trabajar con ustedes. Abrazos,

    Wonderful experience

    Iris Newton was great! We were looking for a simple wedding ceremony with some parts spoken in both English and Spanish, and Iris put together a ceremony that fit us perfectly.

    Emily thanks for your kind words. It was my pleasure celebrating with both of you and your families. Wishing you both tons of happiness.

    Iris is the best!

    My husband and I worked with Iris for our wedding. She was our officiant, and she was very professional and wonderful. She was very flexible as we had our wedding at a venue that would not let us schedule our rehearsal until the week of and she was happy to accommodate which we really appreciate! We would recommend Iris 10 out of 10. Very lucky to have her be a part of our special day.

    Wedding Minister 1's reply:

    Kathy and Richard, thanks so much for your kind words. I truly enjoyed meeting your family and friends. Working with you guys was easy. I am glad I was able to meet all of your expectations. Congratulations and best of luck. Iris

    Wedding Minister 1 was amazing!

    I had the pleasure of working with Iris from Wedding Minister 1 for our wedding on October 12, 2024. Right from our first contact to the end of the ceremony, Iris was very professional and responsive yet also made it very personal by paying attention to my concerns and requests.

    Unfortunately Iris was sick 2 days before the wedding so she couldn't perform the ceremony. However, she was prepared from the start and had other officiants who can step in to perform the ceremony in case of the unexpected events like this. She reached out to me as soon as possible to let me know the backup plan: Maria would be performing the ceremony in her place. Everything continued as planned after that. I am very pleased with the service that was provided and hope that she recovers soon!

    I highly recommend Wedding Minister 1 as an officiant!

    Thien

    Wedding Minister 1's reply:

    Thien and Gabriel, thanks for your kind response, I am feeling much much better. I am very please to know that Maria performed your ceremony as plan and that she did a great job. Congratulations again and best of luck to both of you.

    A wonderful ceremony. Thank you, Iris!

    We chose Iris as our officiant and we are so happy we did. She is bilingual in Spanish and English, and did the perfect bilingual ceremony for our families to enjoy and share with us. She had several choices for us to pick what to be said, so we didn’t have to stress over much at all. We were able to tailor the ceremony to our wishes exactly. She was very punctual and communicative, and very easy to work with. Thank you again, Iris!

    Wedding Minister 1's reply:

    Brayian & Megan it was a pleasure meeting your beautiful family and it was an honor being able to perform your ceremony in both languages so everyone felt included.
    Many Blessings for both of you!

    Iris is there rain or shine

    Some couples have rain on their wedding day. Us? We had a tropical storm. 6 inches of rain was not enough to stop Iris from being there for wedding day. She is such an amazing, professional, sincere, and helpful officiant. We highly recommend her for your ceremony.

    Wedding Minister 1's reply:

    Carson and Kylar thanks again for your kind words. Wishing you a life time of happiness. It was rainy but the warmth of your family was contagious.

    Outstanding officiant

    Iris is an incredible officiant! We spoke to a few officiants for our wedding and when we spoke with Iris, we felt as if we had known her all of our life. She was so kind and open from the beginning. Having a bilingual officiant was important for us and she immediately put us at ease with her plan. She allowed us to collaborate on the ceremony with her and she was incredibly responsive. Our ceremony was beautiful and our guests raved to us about her afterwards. We are so happy she officiated our wedding and would recommend her to anyone! Thank you, Iris!

    Wedding Minister 1's reply:

    Mel and Dalton, thanks for your kind words. It was an honor to be the Officiant for your wedding. Wishing you all the happiness in the world.

    Iris was absolutely amazing and full of good energy.
    When she says that you can count on her, she means it. She is super professional and straight to the point. Our reception was bilingual and make our guest feel just as special as we did. We recommend her 100%.

    Professional, accommodating, flexible

    Iris was exactly what we needed. We wanted a professional officiant that could legally marry us before we did the ceremony in front of our friends and family. Iris came to our hotel room in the morning of our wedding day to sign the paperwork. She had a great sense of humor and helped us keep our wedding date the same as our ceremony. We were grateful for her flexibility. Thank you!

    Amazing ceremony

    Iris did an amazing job at our ceremony, gave great advice, but what really touched me was that she respected our wishes with giving our ceremony speech in both languages ( Spanish & English ). In addition she was able to add a few traditional items. Thank you for taking the time and again, thank you for being there on our special day .

We had a beautiful personal bilingual (English and Spanish) ceremony at a beautiful park, and it was absolutely amazing. I knew from the moment I came across Iris’s profile here and spoke with her that she would be perfect for me and my (now 😁) wife! I’m so thankful and appreciative for her help!

    Professional and compassionate

    Very empathetic to our situation and time restraints. Showed up early and was very professional. Brought a microphone just in case and she didn’t even need it as she knew how to project her voice beautifully so everyone could hear. All in all, I would recommend her to any future couples needing an officiant. Thanks again for your help

    Couldn't be happier

    Professional, Responsive, Friendly and Flexible - qualities that you want and appreciate, and Iris meet our needs and guided us through the process. She provided multiple scripts to choose from and allowed us to customize our wedding and change the wording. The ceremony was custom made for us. We couldn't have been happier. She was early and when she got out of her car, she radiated warmth and trust. We knew we were in good hands. We had our wedding at Landsford Canal State Park and had already picked out the site for the ceremony. Everything went according to plan - and this was not a rehearsed wedding. We would definitely recommend her. Thanks Iris. You helped to make this such as special occasion.

    Iris was amazing!

    My partner and I had a backyard wedding on 4/22 and Iris was the officiant! We met with Iris several weeks in advance to select our ceremony and discuss that we wanted a nonreligious ceremony. Over time Iris worked with us to customize the ceremony script to perfection. We had a bilingual wedding and all of our guests loved it. Iris was organized, punctual, and always responsive!! Id recommend working with her to anyone. Iris thank you so much for everything!

    Mrs. Iris created a beautiful bilingual ceremony for me and my husband. She was so accommodating to us up to the very last day and I can’t describe how appreciative I am of her work. Even in the pouring rain and cold on that day, she handled everything perfectly and everyone was brought to tears by the beautifully written ceremony!

    Linda officiated our wedding and she was so wonderful! She made our guests laugh and cry with her readings. She is so flexible and will give you exactly the ceremony you want! We wanted a couple non-traditional things done during the ceremony and she created something specifically for us. We had a slight mishap with the wind during our ceremony and she played it off so well and just kept moving on. She was very helpful during the rehearsal as well!

    Iris Newton was great at preparing for our small ceremony at our home. She was also a close neighbor in our area and made it super convenient. Iris is very detailed-oriented by taking the time to learn our names since it's in Vietnamese and wasn't easy to pronounce. The whole experience was easy and fun. Thank you, Iris!

    Iris helped us pull off the perfect elopement

    Iris was great to coordinate with ahead of our wedding about vows and structure, so we knew exactly what to expect the day of our event, even without a rehearsal. Everyone in our small group of attendees commented on Iris's professionalism and how warm she was, like she'd known us for ages. Our tiny little ceremony was absolutely perfect and she helped us make it that way.

    So great, guests thought we’d known her for years!

    Linda was so kind and made a point to get to know us before our big day so that she could custom make our wedding script to fit us. My husband and I are both very sarcastic people, so Linda made a point to include some jokes and sarcasm just for us! We got many compliments about how wonderful she was. People were so surprised she wasn’t someone who had known us for years, but rather someone who we found on a wedding website and had shared just a few phone calls and emails with. She really did an exceptional job of making us feel heard, and delivering a very custom, very heartfelt wedding ceremony. We also really appreciated that she handled the part of delivering our marriage license to the register of deeds after our big day for us!

    Couldn’t Have Asked For A Better Officiant!

    My husband and I were married by Iris on 10/22/22. I was able to meet her half an hour before my ceremony and thank goodness I did. She is so sweet and kind and was just the calm, relaxed energy I needed on my hectic wedding day. My husband and I are not super religious (but our families are), so when looking for officiants, we knew wanted someone who could bring a modern feel without steering too far from tradition, but also keep just a little bit of Jesus in there too. Iris did just that! She started by sending us various ceremony scripts to choose what we liked best. I ended up combining two that I loved and Iris tweaked them to have more of a flow. We wrote and read our own vows, but she offered samples if we were to need them! The ceremony went beautifully, and Iris was more than accommodating throughout the whole process. I would highly recommend her to anyone who needs a wedding minister!!! We will be forever grateful for her! :)

    Alena, you are so sweet, thanks for your kind comments. It was so easy to work with you. Your family was very welcoming and your venue was beautiful. Thanks for allowing me to be part of your special day. Whenever you get your pictures back, please share few with me. Thanks.

    Iris was amazing!

    Our wedding was on 5/14/22, and Iris made every moment of it perfect! She was incredibly responsive and SO helpful! She was open to answering any questions we had and shared her own thoughts and ideas, which we loved. My husband and most of his family are from Guatemala, so incorporating Spanish into our ceremony was very important to us. Iris did this in such a beautiful, touching way! She put the ceremony together perfectly! I never had a single worry while working with her. It was truly and pleasure and we HIGHLY recommend her for anyone looking for an amazing officiant!

Leading up to the big day, she provided us with copies of ceremonies and kept us on track. She was supportive and incredibly flexible. During the rehearsal and ceremony, she was patient, professional, kind and did everything possible to make our day special. She helped make our day all the more special and memorable.

    Awesome!!!

    Iris and Linda were amazing from the beginning! Originally, we were working with Iris, but she had to perform at another wedding due to being bilingual. She made sure Linda had all she needed for our special day! We were able to FaceTime with Linda the week of the wedding to put faces to names. Linda was amazing! She was so funny and so friendly! She made our ceremony go so smooth and it was perfect! 💜

    The perfect day!

    Iris was amazing. She really understood what was important to us and helped us craft the perfect ceremony. The day of she was on time and very professional. She also sent us our signed wedding application right after the ceremony which was great as we waited for the official certificate from the state.

    Very accomodating

    I was in need of an officiant to come to my home....marry my fiancee and I within a week...during a pandemic. Needless to say I wasn't sure what to expect...

    I emailed Linda and she called me back instantly. I gave her my spill about the urgency of my situation and she said she would be there for us. This is my first time getting married and going through the motions so I wasn't as prepared as I thought I was, lol. When Linda showed up she informed that I needed 2 witnesses...not on Zoom...but in person to witness and sign the license for our ceremony. Linda came through with one witness (very thankful for her sweet spirit) and waited patiently while we came up with another witness.

    She offered us different options in selecting the type of ceremony we wanted to experience. Her promptness and professional service made for a beautiful moment that my husband and I will never forget and be forever grateful.

    Thanks again Linda and we'll see you next year for the actual wedding.

    Great job.

    Iris was a great choice. She was the only person during my screening process that provided information prior to be hired on how the process worked due to Covid.

    Iris was able to combine our dual faith ceremony and make it our own.

    I would highly recommend Iris as an Officiant.

    Just what we needed!!

    Linda was great!! She was kind, understanding and patient, on our special day! When other things went wrong, with our venue, Linda gave me words of encouragement and reminded me to breathe, because things were going to be alright. She worked with me the entire time, since I first reached out to her. She allowed us to develop our own ceremony to make it what we imagined. We picked a very busy weekend in Charlotte, which caused loads of traffic , yet Linda was on time, and even waited when I forgot my wedding certificate, after she clearly reminded me to bring it and my rings hours before! 😆 I was very pleased and am forever grateful! My wedding was wonderful even with the minor troubles, and I am happy Linda was a part of it. She was right everything was alright. Even better!

    Wonderful!

    My husband and I had great difficulty deciding on an officiate because we knew our desires for our ceremony were slightly unconventional. As soon as we met Linda, we knew that our worries were unfounded. She not only accepted our quirkiness, but embraced it and joined us in the fun. She will give you vows you desire, the ceremony you desire, and the experience you desire and she will do it with great enthusiasm and joy. She is incredibly easy to work with and accommodating, and everything about our ceremony was carried out beautifully and according to our own preferences. You can't go wrong by picking Linda to be your officiate.

    The Perfect Day

    I cannot say enough about A Beautiful Wedding. I have the pleasure of being able to call Linda my godmother however, I am not an easy sole to please. I had no idea where to begin with our ceremony and Linda made the process stress free and effortless. We were able to make our ceremony 100% “us” without feeling any pressure or judgement to do anything in a particular way. Linda was a tremendous help in rehersal and day of coordinating and was able to put up with ALL of our crazy antics. Despite being in a different state, she handled all of the post wedding paperwork, which was a huge relief. Linda went above and beyong for my husband and I and I know she will do the same for anyone who entrusts her with their wedding day!

    Iris and Victoria thank you so much for everything!!! Iris officiated our wedding and did the most beautiful job of it. Victoria coordinated our ceremony, she was awesome; also last minute at our request, her and Iris helped coordinate our families to the reception. Our ceremony consisted of the candle and lasso traditions. Iris gave us the option to have our ceremony done in English and Spanish but we chose Spanish only. Iris met with us months before the wedding to go over how we wanted our ceremony done. She has a lot of different ceremony styles to chose from if you are not sure of what you want to include in your ceremony. They were both very caring and helpful and can you can tell they love what they do. They truly wish you happiness and love. No doubt they will make your special day the most amazing day.

    I highly recommend A Beautiful Wedding to everyone and everyone looking for an officiant. Iris was more than an officiant but a friend. My wedding was suppose to take place this past weekend September 16th but Hurricane Florence had different plans. We decided the night of rehearsal to push our wedding day back to the end of Oct. Iris was more then happy to work with us on moving the date. I was so upset about losing my September date. After alittle talking and figuring out Iris invited me and my now husband with our two bestfriends into her home and married us on September 16th in her lovely kitchen. She will also be our minister on our wedding day for the wedding ceremony in front of our family and friends. We are so very grateful for everything so has done for us. Please take the time to meet with her and you will fall in love like we did. Thank you again Iris ❤️

    Fantastic Job

    Linda and Iris did a wonderful job at our wedding ceremony. I chose to have both officiants as Iris was able to translate in Spanish for our guests. Afterward, we had several guests come up to us to let us know how much they appreciated having the ceremony translated for them. I would definitely recommend them!

    Communication

    Very responsive to any question. Never made me feel dumb for asking too much or very little.

    Working with Linda was really a pleasure. She is a non denominational officiant. She didn't judge and was there to help get the ball rolling. She helped smoothe out little hiccups and she spoke very smoothely. I would definitely reccomend her services. She is a very nice lady!

    Wedding 10/08/2022

    My husband and I struggled the most with finding who would marry us. We are not very religious people and we also did not want to be married by a stranger. Iris was the first person we booked after being engaged. We spent several months talking back and forth so we would get to know us and we would feel like our vendors are like family and not just someone we found online.We also planned our wedding during the pandemic so questions about Covid came up. I was told if Iris was not available she would have another officiant perform the ceremony. We were able to customize our ceremony the way we wanted it. It was a beautiful day and beautiful ceremony and I’m thankful Iris was able to perform our ceremony.

    Highly Recommend!

    Funny story, but I didn't actually get to "meet" Linda on our wedding day! We changed venues 3 times and Linda went to the 2nd venue. As I'm getting ready to walk down the isle, I realized she was not there. lol I called her and she came to the venue and we re-started without a hitch about 30 mins later. She left while we were taking pictures, and it was 3 weeks later that we actually met when she officiated another wedding for one of my friends! She did a beautiful job reading the ceremony we wrote, was very responsive to all of questions and requests, and the paperwork was a breeze. Definitely recommend Linda!!
