Karina was absolutely wonderful! She was very detailed in her communication and helped us throughout the way, truly appreciative to have her be able to do our wedding in English AND Spanish. We received SO many compliments about the ceremony, multiple people telling us that it was so beautiful and they wished it would’ve been longer! I 100% recommend Karina, she’s professional, on time, and a great communicator :)

Karina was amazing! She crafted a beautiful ceremony program script that perfectly captured the tone and sentiment we were looking for. Although she was open to feedback, we didn’t have any suggestions because her work was spot-on from the start. Karina was incredibly easy to work with and her experience truly shone through—she knew all the small details that made our ceremony even more special. We couldn’t have asked for a more professional and thoughtful officiant to help us begin our married life together!

Karina was fantastic to work with. We are so thankful to her for fitting us in. We decided on a last minute elopement while traveling. Our ceremony was short and sweet in a nice drizzle of rain. I was afraid having a stranger as our officiant wouldn't make it as special, but I couldn't have been more wrong. Karina was a perfect fit🤍🤍

Karina was incredibly sweet and helpful with all aspects of the ceremony. She gave us the freedom to edit the script as much as we wanted and absolutely captured our vision. She made us feel so calm and comfortable with every interaction. She's extremely professional and responsive. Her cadence was perfect and her voice is beautiful - exactly what we were looking for! We couldn't recommend her more, thank you Karina!

We are so glad to have worked with Karina! She made the ceremony process easy and clear for us. She provided us with a standard script and provided us flexibility in editing it the way we want. She was very professional and was very considerate, asking if we had any special requests/cultural processes to our ceremony. We would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for an officiant who is kind, open-minded, and respectful to how you want your wedding ceremony to be.

Nick was very kind and professional. There was some awkward moments during the ceremony where he was a little late on telling people to rise for me and seemed a little confused to tell the groom to turn around to face me. To be fair we didn't really do a rehearsal but we did have it all planned so it seemed to come from nervousness. Also during the signing of the marriage certificate he wasn't sure on some of the things and what to write on some parts so I'll have to ask when I bring it in to the license place.
Overall it was all incredible and these are very little things in comparison to the whole ceremony and wedding in general so not a huge deal. But just some notes for his next wedding.
I would recommend this website again 100%.

Karina was super professional from start to finish. We were really impressed when she had a presentation to share during our first Zoom meeting and she also had a very loving vibe - it gave us a lot of confidence and we knew that she was the person we wanted to marry us. She had a template ceremony and language but was super open to using whatever we put together. The time she put into preparing for our special ceremony was super thoughtful and you could tell by the way she clearly articulated (and with love and feeling) each word we had written. My mom even commented that her tone, volume and pace were perfect! We were super happy with our entire experience with Karina and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for an officiant for their wedding!
