We recently had our wedding ceremony with Jersey Wedding Officiant, and we couldn’t be happier with the experience. The service was exceptional, and the ceremony was conducted with warmth, professionalism, and genuine care. It truly made our special day even more memorable. Highly recommended!

“Reverend Maria Fiesta was truly outstanding on our wedding day. She arrived 15 minutes early and warmly introduced herself to my bride, our witnesses, and me, setting a relaxed tone from the start. Even as we were still getting ready, she began with the paperwork to guiding the ceremony with confidence and grace. When we encountered delays, she patiently waited until our photographer arrived, ensuring that no special moment was rushed. Her calming presence and meticulous attention to detail helped ease our stress, making our day all the more memorable. We highly recommend Reverend Maria Fiesta to anyone seeking an officiant who goes above and beyond.”

Absolutely wonderful! The moment I met Maria I felt comfortable and reassured that we chose the best person to officiate our daughter's wedding. Maria was easy to communicate with and helpful with the overall approach to the ceremony. We are grateful to have found such a lovely person to work with.

Maria was great. She personalized our wedding the way we wanted and made sure we were pleased the entire way. She was available before the wedding and during. Very nice woman. We would recommend her for anyone in NJ who’s in need of an officiant. Thank you so much Maria!

Thank you, Maria, for officiating our wedding on November 23rd, 2024. Maria was integral to the traditional Rosary Lazo wedding planning process. She went above and beyond to ensure that our special day was exactly what we had envisioned. We are deeply appreciative of her hard work and dedication and cannot recommend her highly enough.

Thank you, Gloria and Mauricio, for your incredibly kind words and for honoring me with the privilege of officiating your beautiful wedding ceremony. The love and support of your family was so heartwarming to witness and left a lasting impression on my heart. Getting to know the both of you throughout this journey has truly grown into a friendship that I deeply treasure. In this big world, we are here to lift and support one another, and it was a joy to be a part of your love story. Gloria, spending time with you, sharing ideas and dreams, and weaving those special details into your ceremony was such a meaningful experience for me. The heartfelt inclusion of your family in the lasso ceremony was a perfect representation of two people in love coming together to create a family united by faith and commitment. It was inspiring to witness your deep love and dedication to one another. It is an inspiration I know will stay with everyone who had the joy of witnessing your union. Your review means the world to me because my goal has always been to create ceremonies that are far from average, ones that truly reflect the love and commitment couples like you share. I’m so grateful for the bond we’ve built and the memories we’ve created together. Please know that I will always be here for you, cheering you on in your life together. Wishing you both endless love, joy, and blessings as you continue this beautiful journey together!
