The overall experience with Maria was amazing. She made sure that everything was ready for the ceremony and let us know everything that needed to be done not just for the wedding ceremony, but also when applying for the marriage certificate at the Office of Vital Statistics. Working with Maria is the best way to ensure that everything is completed exactly how you want and where you want.

We are so incredibly grateful to Maria for making our wedding ceremony truly unforgettable. From the very first conversation, she took the time to understand who we are as a couple and what was important to us. She blended personal touches with tradition so beautifully, and created a ceremony that felt intimate, meaningful, and completely “us.” Our guests couldn’t stop raving about how heartfelt and genuine the ceremony was — full of love, laughter, and just the right amount of tears. She spoke with such warmth, grace, and presence, and made everyone feel part of something special. If you’re looking for someone who is not only professional and prepared but also deeply kind and thoughtful, we couldn’t recommend Maria more highly. Thank you for being such a special part of our day — we’ll never forget it.

Rev Maria was absolutely wonderful!! She was responsive to my initial inquiry at 10pm on a Saturday night and at any time of the day or night for any questions or concerns. She gave us insight on different vows we can add to make our ceremony absolutely us!! Rev Maria put me totally at ease so I can focus on all the other wedding details. We highly recommend Rev Maria! Thank you so much for being a part of our wedding! Cindy and Sonny Mao
