We couldn’t have asked for a better officiant than Raquel for our wedding! Raquel did an amazing job bringing our multicultural ceremony together and made sure both of our cultures and traditions were felt included in a way that felt meaningful and authentic to us.
Raquel was incredibly responsive, helpful, and easy to work with throughout the entire planning process. She took the time to understand what we wanted and was always there to answer questions or help us figure things out leading up to our wedding. On the wedding day, she was professional, warm, and made the ceremony feel so personal and special.
We received so many compliments from our guests about how beautiful and meaningful the ceremony was. We’re so grateful Raquel was part of our wedding and would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for an officiant!

She was very communicative with me and I’m so glad we chose her as our officiant. If I had any questions or concerns she would immediately help me out. Even if I didn’t have questions, she would regularly message me and ask how things were going and if there was anything about the ceremony I had questions on. And if there were things on the prompt I wanted to change she would have them ready for me and give me different options as well. Overall, I really enjoyed having Raquel as our officiant and I would recommend her to any bride or groom. 10/10
Ana,
Thank you for this wonderful review! 🤍
I loved working with you to refine your ceremony until the words felt just right. Knowing that my check-ins and the options we explored helped you feel cared for throughout the planning means so much to me. Thank you for choosing me to officiate your wedding and for such a lovely recommendation. Wishing you and Matthew a beautiful marriage!
Warmly,
Raquel

We had such a beautiful and meaningful ceremony. 🤍 She wrote everything in both English and Spanish so all of our family and friends could understand and feel included.
We shared our story with her through a questionnaire, and she brought everything together so beautifully. She made our ceremony feel so intimate, almost like it was just the two of us in that moment, even though we were surrounded by all of our loved ones.
After the ceremony, our family shared their thoughts with us, and they all expressed how beautifully our story had been told. She truly made our ceremony feel personal, heartfelt, and unforgettable. We are so grateful for the beautiful memory she helped create for us! ❤️
Details: Wedding • Non-religious (no mention of God) • 20 guests or fewer • Help writing vows will not be needed • Spanish • Officiant will not be needed at the rehearsal
