Jose was awesome!!! We hired him for our wedding and it was the best decision ever. He made everything more special, more emotional and less nerve wrecking. Jose spoke multiple languages which was perfect for my wedding it included everyone and made everyone feel just as special. He was very professional and lighthearted. He left a smile on everyone’s face! I definitely 10/10 recommend. THANK YOU JOSE!!!!!

We could not have been happier with Jose. He worked with us to ensure that our vision for the ceremony came true. He was quick to respond to our inquiries and any questions that we had. He was able to incorporate both English and Spanish into the ceremony so that everyone attending was able to understand and enjoy the moment. His ceremony was amazing, and we he was able to help us write our own vows to give to each other. And even when the June Bug tried to crash the wedding, he helped keep it on track lol. We would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a minister. Thank you so much Jose.
