Monica is a god sent! Affordable, reliable, efficient, and trustworthy. She is consistent! She followed up with us, put together such a beautiful personalized ceremony and captured...
our love story perfectly. She added Spanish in for me and my family as they were on video call from Honduras. To incorporate them. She helped my husband to write his vows in Spanish to surprise me. She was punctual, very great on communication, and everything she said she offers and will do. She did! It was very easy to work with her, and made the entire process very stress free for us, and my family. On rehearsal day, she was on top of everything, and very helpful. She worked with our coordinator, and we must of had numerous back and forth emails, and calls (my anxiety, and questions) she was just solid all the way around. I recommend her 10/10. A great officiant, and person! She delivers! Thank you Monica!
Monica is an angel! The ceremony was so sweet and had been customized to our story.

olutely beautiful ceremony for my son (and now) daughter-in-law this past Saturday 11/01/25 outside in the Gardens at the Armour House at Meadowview Park. She delivered and captured the essence of their love story, and everyone had smiles on their faces and moments of laughter as she officiated the services. It was like she had known them for years! Not to mention, She was professional, punctual, detail-oriented, and very easy to work with. She came prepared with a head-set microphone and everything. Thank you Monica for an outstanding job! Well-done! Sincerely, Tara “Proud Momma”

nd be emotional. She’s so gentle, as I read through the reviews when I hired her, I was already coming in with a great expectation, she blew it out of the water for us! We loved her, her script, her demeanor, her personality, and has such a great attitude. She’s very universal, and easy to relate. She has a wealth of experience that makes writing the script, listening to the couple, and incorporating that beautifully. I agree it with the other reviews. It’s clear she’s a therapist, she applies that so well, and such a great people person. We loved her!!! Recommend her a THOUSAND times over!!
We’ve had coffee a few times afterwards, she is definitely someone I instantly wanted to be friends with.

e incorporated our personal sayings and love story into our script, it made us emotional. Monica fyi is a therapist naturally she’s really good with people, and she does this as a hobby to balance out the negative she deals with daily. She does this out of passion now, and it truly shows. She puts a lot of love into what she does, her interactions with you, and has such a great heart, very personable. We loved working with her, she’s great at communication, and extremely responsive! She met with us, talked to us, everything we asked, was never too much for her, she was always willing to go the extra mile. She dropped off our licenses, and walked us through the process, she sent us a text after the licenses were dropped off, and to who. She’s a truly great people person, and has amazing communication skills. It was then I found out she’s a therapist!!! No wonder! HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!! :) thank you Monica and Travis! LOVE!!!
Monica is phenomenal! We had such an amazing experience! She does not do packages, she has fixed prices, and she does not price gauge! All her prices comes with everything a 200 - ...
800 package would typically include. I was choosing between vendors, asking questions, and she offered me everything I was requesting, she offered everything a package that requested 300 plus for under 200!! I used to think the higher the price, the better the quality. That is NOT always the case! She took the time, explained everything, shared her script, modified if needed, included everything we wanted, and it was beautiful! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! For being such an honest, and genuine person! Have the conversation yourself and you will see she is all about the COUPLE, she told me “it’s more than the money, it’s about the connection, and providing less stress.” Ugh love it!!
We absolutely loved Monica and Travis! They are so personable, down to earth, and truly make an amazing team. It’s nice to see a great team, and married couple work so harmoniously...
together. That’s what it is all about, a great example! Monica was phenomenal, she’s sweet, kind, responsive, and respectful. It’s all about the couple. She made our script, our conversations all about us, and what we wanted. She just wants to make our time special. Thank you!!!
