Maria was amazing to work with. She held a few meetings to get to know us as a couple and a family. She wrote the most amazing script that really captured our love. Our family praised our ceremony and it would not have been possible without Maria.

Very professional, personable, and organized! Maria let us review and edit the ceremony script to our liking. Many of my guests were Spanish speaking only; Maria helped craft the script so that everyone could understand all parts of the ceremony, and made it very special and unique just for us. She helped us coordinate the use of our own religious elements into the wedding ceremony. She even let us borrow her speaker and mics. Maria is wonderful!

​Maria is amazing! With a month out from our wedding date, we were lucky to come across Maria's profile and we were interested by her rave reviews. After our initial call, we knew Maria was the right choice in an officiant for us. My husband and I were so lost in what we wanted from our ceremony but a few conversations with Maria provided so many ideas that we were then able to incorporate in the ceremony. On the day of, Maria was so professional, beautifully dress and prepared with everything needed. My family couldn't stop raving about Maria's service, noting how included they all felt and the ability to create a space of unity and love. It was such a pleasure to have met Maria and if you are looking for an officiant that will meet your needs, reach out to her! She's amazing!

Maria exceeded our expectations in every way. We interviewed a few bilingual officiants and after our first zoom call we knew she was the officiant for us. She has this enthusiastic, confident energy which resonated with us and helped put us at ease. She made the whole process of writing our vows seamless and easy. We are more introverted so we wanted less speaking parts and ended up deciding to do private vows the morning of. She helped us rewrite the script so that it fit us and exactly what we wanted. She talked us through applying and registering for our marriage license and gave us a great tips on what to do. For the rehearsal and the wedding day of she was beyond fantastic. She made us feel like we were taken care of the whole way through. Plus she wore the cutest outfit! Thank you, Maria!

Our most incredible moment of the entire wedding was the ceremony, and without Maria, it wouldn't have been the same. Every word she spoke, every prayer, and every moment were unique, making our ceremony truly special and emotional. We had guests who spoke Spanish and others who spoke English, and Maria was incredibly flexible in conducting the ceremony in both languages, ensuring that all our guests understood every heartfelt sentiment. Undoubtedly, Maria has earned a special place in our hearts for helping us officiate our union on the happiest day of our lives. We are eternally grateful.

We feel incredibly fortunate to have had Maria as the officiant for our civil ceremony. Right from our initial contact, Maria's guidance and expertise shone through as she patiently walked us through various ceremony options and traditions. Her responsiveness and willingness to accommodate our preferences made the planning process seamless. Maria went above and beyond, continuously offering valuable feedback and insights to help us tailor the ceremony to reflect our personalities and wishes. Her attention to detail was evident when she shared a draft of the ceremony for our review, allowing us to make adjustments until it aligned perfectly with our vision. Maria's dedication and professionalism truly made our special day even more memorable. We wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone seeking a thoughtful and caring officiant.

Maria was a joy to work with. I cried moments after receiving her ceremony script in my inbox: It was tender, thoughtful, and sweet. She highlighted both my and my husband's cultures with tact and care. Before the ceremony, Maria gave me great feedback on my vows, and my husbands too. She was sweet, charming and funny. If you're looking for someone to turn your ceremony into a tender moment, Maria is the one for you. Thank you, Maria!

Maria was very profesional and sweet. Communicated well, responded to our questions and truly made things happen for us. We decided to go with the elopement and do it all last minute. However, she helped us and worked with us. The experience my wife and I had was great! She is LGBTQ+ friendly and beyond. Believes love is love and made us feel comfortable in all ways. She mailed our marriage license the same day. Thank you, so much Maria. We look forward to seeing you next year at our family/friends gathering.

​I really enjoyed working with Maria. My fiancé and I decided to have a ceremony at our venue last minute. We contacted Maria and she was extremely helpful given such short notice. She was very easy to work with, very patient, and answered our emails and text messages with a reasonable amount of time. She has a lot of insight and experience, and simply loves love… which made it easy for us to choose her! Thank you for being party of our special day! :)

Maria was great with communicating with me through out the whole process. She was very responsive and made everything clear and simple.

It was a pleasure working with her!

​My husband and I are extremely grateful to Maria for the beautiful ceremony she planned for us. During the planning process, we were looking for a bilingual English/Spanish officiant and were wondering how it would work without making it too long/repetitive. Maria was knowledgeable, had several ideas, and was so nice on top of it all. Nothing but good vibes from the very first conversation. She drafted the ceremony for us a few weeks before the wedding so that we could look it over and make any changes/suggestions if we wanted to. She respected our wishes, but there honestly wasn’t much to change at all. She wrote up a beautiful mostly non-religious ceremony and helped us still include the lasso ceremony (a mostly Catholic Hispanic tradition) with a short blessing/prayer. She also read over our self-written vows and gave us her feedback. On the day of the wedding, she not only drove two hours in a storm to make it to our venue early, but she came prepared with her printed ceremony script and copies of our vows in case we needed them. She threw in a couple humorous ad-libs and overall, everyone was impressed by her. Our families and friends had nothing but good things to say. We could tell she genuinely loves what she does and it’s not just another day at work for her. Thank you Maria for helping make our wedding ceremony beautiful and memorable!

Maria was amazing, she is extremely helpful and was able to answer any questions we had. She has a wonderful way with words and expressions. Many of our guests said they got emotional at our wedding and was one of the best ceremonies they had been to. Maria is also bilingual which was extremely important for me because my parents and grandmother only speak Spanish. She amazing!! We are so happy we found her🥰

Maria officiated my wedding a few weeks ago and she could not have done a better job! We had a bilingual wedding with a few different cultural ceremony aspects and she was able to expertly organize and explain the purpose of every portion of the ceremony. She was very professional and helpful throughout the whole process leading up to the wedding and I would 100% recommend her!

Cannot express how amazing María is…after speaking over the phone about how we met and our relationship, she custom wrote our ceremony. I wasn’t halfway through reading the ceremony draft and I was already in love with her words. She gives you the option to add or remove if you’d like, and is so easy to get a hold of over text as well. You know it an awesome ceremony when even the guests are giving compliments how much they loved what Maria said. She is impressive, funny and kind.

Maria is an amazing wedding officiant and I would 100% recommend her. My husband and I wanted someone who was bilingual (English and Spanish) and she was the perfect person for this task. Maria agreed to several video and phone calls with us before our wedding day to help us plan for our ideal ceremony. She asked us a series of questions that helped her put together a beautiful wedding ceremony transcript, which she sent to us for any revisions before the wedding day. She also sent my husband and I several questions separately that were instrumental in helping us write our vows. She put together the first draft of our vows, and then sent to us (separately) so we can make our personal edits. She printed our vows and brought them with her to our ceremony because she knew we would be too stressed to remember them the day of our wedding! The wedding ceremony she delivered was amazing. Several family members mentioned that she was great!! After the ceremony, she also mailed our Marriage Certificate for us, so we did not have to worry about that after our big moment. Maria is organized, friendly, and a pleasure to work with!

Maria was exactly who we were looking for! So many of my guests commented at how beautiful our ceremony was. We couldn’t be happier. She performed a bilingual ceremony that our family and guests loved. She sent over a copy of her draft so that we could review together and followed up even when I was so busy with all the other details of wedding planning. She also made suggestions for the ceremony and provided advice when it was needed. We trusted her experience- and she delivered. She was professional and dressed so well for our ceremony. Thank you Maria!

Maria did us the honor of officiating both our small private civil wedding and our big official wedding and we could not have asked for a better person to do so. We had a multicultural wedding and as someone who had a multicultural wedding herself she understood how to best balance our our ceremony and made sure both families were taken care of. She made our special day 10x better.

​

There is no way to describe the role that Maria played in helping make our wedding ceremony our DREAM ceremony. From the moment we contacted her she presented herself with the sweetest and most professional personality. We had no question about choosing her from then on because of how calm and welcomed she made us feel. Working with her was effortless and she listened to all of our needs from a bilingual ceremony to adding a heartfelt prayer to God during the ceremony. However, her speech went above and beyond. Not only does she speak with an angelic tone, but everything she said in her speech was relevant to us and it was evident that when she interviewed us she was clearly listening to who we truly were. I had so many family members and friends that commented on how much they loved her and I even had some hesitant-to-marry friends already asking me to pass on her number to them! If that doesn't speak to how inspiring her words were then I don't know what does. All in all, Maria, I am so grateful for you and wish you the best of luck and blessings.

We searched for an officiant over a few websites and came across Maria. We got a good vibe from her based on her bio. The first step was setting up a consultation on the phone and she explained to to us what she does and asked what we wanted for our wedding. It was more of a conversation and didn't feel like we were forced to chose her. We let her know we wanted to do personal vows and a candle ceremony and she sent us a draft of how the ceremony would look like. We were able to edit the draft to what we wanted so it fit our ceremony. Maria was very responsive to texts, emails and calls and was easy to communicate with. She was friendly and we were glad we chose her as our officiant.

My husband and I wanted our ceremony to be meaningful and in Spanish because our family is mainly Spanish-speaking. I found Maria on Yelp. After I contacted her she made us feel very special, dedicating time to speak with us various times as well as offering to help with our vows. Maria was very helpful when I had questions about our marriage license as well and guided me to where I can go apply. Many of our guests complimented her ceremony and they stated it was very meaningful and engaging. Maria was wonderful and we could not imagine our wedding ceremony any other way. It was perfect!

Are you looking for a Spanish/English bilingual officiant? Look no further, Maria is the ONE! Maria officiated our “micro wedding” ceremony on Monday, June 14. She was knowledgeable, responsive and super helpful! She was always available before our ceremony and performed the ceremony in both languages. She was accommodating to our script suggestions and she helped my partner translate his vows to Spanish. Thanks to Maria, I was able to include my Mom and Aunt in our ceremony. Im forever grateful! Working with her was a breeze and our ceremony was lovely! Our guests had many compliments. Huge plus- Maria is LGBTQIA+ friendly!

Maria was absolutely amazing. We had trouble finding an officiant who was bilingual and when we came across Maria I was so excited to have found someone who I can trust would marry my fiancé and I. She arrived early, came in to visit me and my fiancé to ensure we were both ok and reassured us both. She was extremely professional and so flexible, despite letting her know of a covid test last minute. Thank you Maria! If getting married please book Maria, you will not regret it.

Maria officiated my wedding and she was just amazing! My husband and I are extremely pleased. We had our wedding in December 2020 during covid and she made everything so easy -offering many great suggestions on how to safely have our wedding, how to safely get our marriage license during covid, & offered suggestions for readings, poems, vows.. etc. I was very stressed days leading up to my wedding but with Maria's help and guidance, she made me feel completely at ease. She answered every email, text, phone call in a timely manner. Maria maintained professionalism while keeping the ceremony meaningful and light. She was able to make our ceremony very personal as if she's known us our whole lives. Our families are still talking about our wedding and how special it was thanks to Maria! They said she was fantastic. I highly highly recommend Maria as an officiant and we are so glad we chose her to marry us! Thanks for everything Maria!

​So glad we had Maria officiate our wedding! She included all the personal details we wanted and really listened to what we were looking for. She was very accessible whenever we needed to talk to her and she was accommodating when our wedding plans had to change a bit because of the pandemic. Her words truly made our ceremony special. Definitely consider her if you want an officiant that listens to your needs and makes an effort to make your ceremony feel specially designed to you and your future spouse.

Maria was absolutely amazing! She is very professional and from the moment we chatted via Face Time, we knew that she was the perfect person to officiate our wedding. She crafted the wedding ceremony of our dreams, conveying exactly what we wanted our friends and family to feel. She really set the tone for a fun and romantic night. She also helped my husband with his wedding vows, co-drafting some of the most beautiful thoughts that just blew my mind! He was very grateful that she assisted in writing exactly what he wanted me feel with his words. Everyone was in tears! It's a bonus that she is bilingual and was able to construct a beautiful ceremony in both in English and Spanish as our crowd was mixed. It flowed so well and received so many compliments on the ceremony. So grateful to you Maria! Thank you for making such a memorable ceremony that we will cherish forever.
