Mercedes was the angel we needed to bring the vision together for our wedding. My husband is from Honduras and with so many Spanish speaking guests attending, we needed a bilingual ceremony. Mercedes officiated in both languages to the delight of all. She also helped with our vows which took a big weight off our shoulders & accommodated us when she learned the only way on and off the island was by boat. I loved it that she wore an aqua dress to coordinate perfectly with our theme. Mercedes takes the time to pay attention to detail and you can tell she does this from her heart as well as a business perspective. We were thrilled to have this beautiful, kind, genuine woman be a part of our special day. It wouldn't have been the same without her! Thank you, Mercedes!

I was very hesitant on who to choose to officiate my wedding ceremony. My husband and I are Hispanic and perfected the ceremony to be in Spanish. Mercedes did an excel and job portraying us as a couple and made it very unique and special to us. Thank you Mercedes for an unforgettable moment!

I have a bachelor's in criminal justice but my love and years of experience as officiant is what makes me great at what I do. I really love being an officiant 💕
