Introduction

I make every effort to provide the best service I can prior to their ceremony and perform to the best of my abilities on our client’s big day. Clients want to feel understood, they want to feel heard and they want to be helped, so I strive to make the process as easy on them as possible. I allow couples to have full input on their ceremony. I offer ideas and ask many questions such as vows, venue, time, language and traditions. my clients come to me to be treated as, and thought of as individuals and not 'just one more client'. My clients are an eclectic diverse bunch made up of the happiest couples on Earth who are looking to spend the rest of their lives together. Most come to me not only to legalize their union, but because they feel I will add my personal touch and passion which is critical since they are sharing their most precious moment with their family and friends. My couples are of all ages, blissfully happy, in love and ready to devote the rest of their lives to each other and im honored that they trust me enough to make me a part of their most memorable event.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ The Perfect Bilingual Ceremony – Maricela Made Everything So Easy and Meaningful We are so incredibly grateful to have had Maricela as our officiant. From the very beginning, she made the entire process simple, stress-free, and truly enjoyable. She guided us with such professionalism and warmth, always making us feel supported and heard. Planning a wedding can be overwhelming, but working with Maricela was the easiest and most reassuring part of it all. What meant the most to us was how attentively she listened to what we wanted. She took the time to understand our relationship, our values, and exactly how we envisioned our ceremony — and then brought it to life more beautifully than we ever imagined. Every detail reflected us perfectly. We asked for a bilingual ceremony in English and Spanish so that all of our loved ones could feel included, and Maricela delivered it flawlessly. She flowed so naturally between both languages and made everyone — regardless of background — feel connected and emotionally present. Our guests are still raving about how heartfelt, personal, and inclusive the ceremony was. Maricela has a gift for storytelling and a calming, loving presence that we will never forget. She made our day incredibly special, and we feel so lucky to have found her. Thank you, Maricela, for everything. You helped give us a moment we’ll carry in our hearts forever. Ps she calmed me down while i was sweating a storm up there 😅😅😅 With all our gratitude, Dylan & Yvonne

FAQs

What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
Pricing includes travel to your location (unless you will be wed at our location), ceremony & notary service, keepsake certificate and handling of all paperwork after your ceremony.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I hold a B.S degree in business. I have been a wedding Officiant for 10 years and a Notary Public for 16 years.
How did you get started doing this type of work?
I never intended to start my own business. I became a wedding officiant with one sole purpose; to officiate the wedding of my sister and her fiancée. It was intended to be a one-time occurrence, but unbeknownst to me, the universe had a different plan in mind. Even though I was an emotional wreck, nervous and all, trying to enunciate every word and desperately fighting back those sister tears, it still managed to leave me enthralled and fulfilled. I enjoyed the experience so much I decided to continue working with happy couples.
