We had the pleasure of having Nery as our wedding officiant, and he was absolutely amazing! He nailed everything we discussed and was incredibly punctual. Nery is very friendly and has such a good soul. We couldn’t have asked for a better officiant. 10/10 recommend! Thank you, Nery, for making our day so special.

Amazing experience Abner took care of ever for us! He really worked with us and gave me such a great piece of mind.
He listened to us and was able to do a bilingual ceremony so we were able to have it in English and Spanish! There’s no worry with him. I would 1000% recommend him for all ceremonies!

Choosing Married by AE was one of the best wedding decisions we made.
Abner was extremely patient with us in the first consultation, talking through different options until we got a better idea of what kind of ceremony we wanted. From start to finish, he was helpful and reliable. On the day of your wedding, he is flexible and quick to adapt to change.
During the ceremony, my veil fell off mid-kiss and ruined the picture, but Abner was able to salvage the situation and got us to redo the kiss & photo in such a flawless way that the crowd didn't even notice!
We had a bilingual ceremony; Abner does a good job in keeping both sides engaged. It was greatly loved by both my English and Spanish speaking family!
To this day, we get so many compliments on how lovely the ceremony was, and how genuine it felt. We even had guests asking us for his booking info the next day!
We couldn't have asked for a better person to marry us. We will continue to recommend him to everyone we know!

I just wanted to take a moment to share how incredibly fortunate we were to have Abner as our officiant. From the very beginning to the end of our special day, Abner made our wedding so memorable and unique. We honestly couldn't have asked for anyone better.
He took the time to ask about our love story, putting it together beautifully to share with everyone during the ceremony. His personal touch added an extra layer of warmth and meaning, making our wedding truly one-of-a-kind.
If you or anyone you know is looking for an officiant, I can't recommend Abner enough.
Thank you, Abner, for making our wedding day so perfect!

Tuvimos una experiencia increíble con el pastor Abner. La comunicación fue fluida durante todo el proceso de planificación y nos hizo sentir completamente cómodos en todo momento. Fue más allá de lo esperado para asegurarse de que nuestra ceremonia fuera bilingüe, lo cual era muy importante para nosotros. Además, incorporó un hermoso momento de adoración en medio de la ceremonia, lo que añadió un toque muy especial. Su habilidad para conectar con todos y hacer la ceremonia personal e inclusiva realmente hizo que nuestro día fuera único. ¡Lo recomendamos muchísimo!

Married by AE did my whole ceremony. Everything was perfect. I got so many compliments by how well our efficient Manny was the way he spoke in such a poise and strong manner. He even did a beautiful prayer all in Spanish. It was very important for us to do a Spanish ceremony because of our family members. I can’t explain how wonderful he spoke and prayed over us for the ceremony. Everything was so thought out and perfectly explained. Manny was early and very detailed from the get-go about how I wanted the ceremony to go. He waited till after the ceremony to take a photo with us. It was just perfect. I definitely recommend them if you are looking for a efficient for your wedding.

If you’re looking for a bilingual officiant then Abner is who you need. My wife and I made it a priority to have a bilingual officiant and after the wedding we kept getting compliments about our officiant/ceremony. From how smooth the transitions were from English to Spanish and the messages he read throughout the ceremony. I can’t begin to thank him enough for the amazing job he did.

Nery officiated our bilingual ceremony on 10.12.24. He was incredible at speaking both English and Spanish and making everyone feel included. The day of our wedding he arrived on time and did a quick run through of the ceremony with us. He was detailed and attentive to our request. Thank you so much!

My wedding day was nothing short of amazing but the greatness of it kicked off with our officiant. Abner was amazing! We asked him to do the ceremony bilingual and he did so good! Many of our guests complimented his excellent service! From the moment I reached out to him, to the day of my wedding day, Abner made the process so easy and worry free. During the planning process, he asked all the right questions, addressed things I hadnt even thought about and really got to know my husband and I as a couple to make our ceremony that much more unique. You will not go wrong booking with Married by AE for your special day! 😊

Abner was amazing. He was everything we asked for. He was kind, sweet, and funny. He reassured us through the process and explained every detail on what we needed to do before the big day. He made our ceremony special by being able to share this moment with everyone by being bilingual. He is worth every penny. If you have wedding that requires both Spanish and English he is the way to go. It definitely surprised my family and made them love the ceremony more.

Estamos tan felices que encontramos a Married by AE para oficiar nuestra ceremonia de boda. Tomó el tiempo en escuchar nuestra historia de amor y escribió una ceremonia única a nosotros. Mis papás estaban también llenos de orgullo y felicidad escuchando las palabras de AE. Si buscas alguien que puede dar una ceremonia bonita y en español, debes de contratar AE.

He was absolutely great! Our wedding day was the first time meeting with him and seeing him in person and he did not fall short on anything. He made us feel very comfortable and provided the perfect words. We got many compliments on how beautifully he presented our wedding ceremony.

Abner and team are true professionals when it comes to wedding officiating. This wouldn't have happened without a leader like Abner. Nery was very helpful and brought so much joy to our wedding. Even though it was a short time that Nery was in our presence, it was a very heartwarming message and a smooth fluid beautiful ceremony. I thank you and your team for everything.

Abner was wonderful! We kept our ceremony short and sweet and he definitely made it a great one! He took his time on a phone call with me to learn all about me and my husband.
We were sent an original script and we wanted a few changes for it to reflect us as a couple and Abner immediately re-wrote one that was perfect for us!
My husband and I definitely recommend people go to him if they are in need of an officiant!
