We chose Mercedes to be part of our wedding on June 12, 2021 and be our officiant. Mercedes has a warm, kind, and out going personality, which has you and your guests fall in love with right away. She blended in with the family and friends and made the ceremony engaging, up lifting and funny. We had a great time and we could not have imagined our wedding without her. Our wedding took place on honeymoon island state park, north beach and it was a dream come true. She helped both I and my husband out to prepare for this magical event. Mercedes is beautiful inside and out, and we couldn’t have been happier with our choice! Thank you Mercedes, Claudia and Dan. Our wedding ceremony was perfect and you made it so memorable.

Mercedes did amazing officiating our small casual wedding at our home. She was professional and it was effortless to work with her. She provided the perfect amount of spirituality that we wanted and allowed us to make the ceremony personal to us. Everyone complimented the service and we really felt that it was a memorable experience. It would not have been what it was without her. We highly recommend her for your wedding whether big or small.

Mercedes did an excellent job on our wedding ceremony. She went over and beyond. She took the time to explain the whole process. She is bilingual and very passionate about her work. We are both happy we chose beach side. I would definitely recommend Mercedes to anyone planning to get married.
