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!

Amazing experience!
Monica gave us exactly what we wanted! I was completely anxious, changing things constantly, writing emails. I realize how difficult I was being. My husband would say, you already sent 7 emails today! However, I will say Monica was very patient with me, a quick responder, and worked with me closely and gave us the perfect wedding. She is the best! I was over stressed, but she kept me grounded throughout the whole process, and checked in. Truly outstanding communication skills, and patience.
Thank you Monica for everything!! We appreciate you, and Travis for truly making our day perfect!!

Monica is absolutely amazing! She met with us, and immediately I knew she was the one for us. She’s kind, professional, and has truly amazing communication skills. She put together such an intimate and emotional script that truly captured us. We didn’t want to preview it the script beforehand. We both wanted to be in the moment. She did a phenomenal job! We both couldn’t have been happier! We can’t imagine having another officiant perform our ceremony. Loved everything!!! Thank you Monica!!!

Monica was such a blessing to our family! We were guided through a meaningful and intimate family wedding at home. Monica wrote a personal script that allowed our four young children to be involved. It meant so much to us to have our babies involved and made to feel important in this new journey. We felt heard during the whole process. We were given beautiful photos of our ceremony. I will always cherish our day and be grateful for Blissful Unions and how they made it perfect for us. Monica believes in love and that is evident through her words and actions. I will recommend her over and over again.

Monica delivered an amazing wedding experience, and ceremony. We absolutely adored it! The family loved it, and they raved about her long after she left. It’s rare to find someone who is authentic, genuine, and operates on old principles of trust, and honesty. She truly cares and it shows. We recommend her services completely with no hesitation! Trust you won’t be disappointed. Thank you Monica and Travis!

Monica is GREAT!! We were running nearly 30 minutes late. We felt horrible. She was patient, kind, professional, and regardless of the circumstances she was on top of everything! She truly calmed us down, and helped us relax before the ceremony and took some time to let us breathe, and checked in with both of us. She is a TREASURE!
Her husband Travis is very nice, and a true gentleman. He assisted my family, and kids, they truly are a family oriented business. Amoung all the chaos! They were stellar! The pictures are beautiful! Truly made our day even more special. She sent us the script two weeks in advance, we absolutely loved it! She captured us perfectly!! Recommend!!

Monica is wonderful! Truly amazing at communicating, and being consistent throughout the whole process and even afterwards. Travis her husband takes phenomenal photos!! The turn around time is usually 2-3 days if it’s slow and if not no more then 5-7 days. They will send you sneak peeks too!! We absolutely adored them, Monica and Travis and yes the photos too :)!!

Monica is the sweetest, she’s kind, responsive, and has such a great personality. She’s very well balanced, and inviting. It was very easy for my husband and I to open up to her, and 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. It’s amazing how it starts as a professional interview and turns into a friendship so quickly. You will adore her!! thank YOU Monica and Travis!!! The pictures were a nice touch, and were beautiful!! We had a small in home intimate wedding with our kids. It was perfect!!!

Monica and her husband are genuine good people, they are both down to earth, funny, and mannered! They had us laughing, and the script she made for our ceremony was BEAUTIFUL!! she 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!!
