With only two months to plan our weeding, finding the right person to officiate the ceremony was challenging. We had the good fortune to count with the kindness, diligence and expe...

rtise of Rev. Luisa Porrata. She promptly shared with us a draft of the ceremony, which was completely unexpected, and she really valued our input. She gave us thoughtful suggestions and seamlessly incorporated our requests into both versions of the ceremony in English and Spanish. She was very interested in learning about us as individuals and as a couple. Even though we had just met, we felt confident about her commitment to create a unique, special blessing for our marriage. The ceremony was beautiful! We knew we were in good hands and for that we will always be grateful.

gual ceremony along with a dear family friend the Rev. Jonathan Staples. Reverend Porrata, reached out and took the time to get to know us prior to the ceremony. Her soft approach quickly put us at ease and her counseling services were invaluable to both my husband and I. She planned and officiated a beautiful program service and her personal message to us was truly touching and matched the outstanding beauty of the Nave at Riverside Church. This was truly a wonderful experience we will not soon forget!

Rev. Luisa was so wonderful to us as we travelled to NYC so that we could be legally married (NC does not allow same-sex marriage.) We only found her a couple of weeks before our ...

scheduled trip, and she worked closely with us to tailor our wedding exactly to our wishes. Her suggestions and resources were so helpful as we decided how we wanted our service to be. Rev. Luisa was very professional in contacting us when she said she would, communicating promptly via email, and arriving at the location early. These things are VERY important to me. She was sweet, loving, and so kind as she helped us make a wonderful memory of our wedding in New York City. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!

We had the great honor and privilege of working with Luisa. She, accompanied by the Rabbi, were the perfect duo for our inter-religious wedding. Luisa is such a breath of fresh air...

. She is understanding, compassionate, thoughtful and intuitive. We wanted to achieve specific goals for our ceremony. Luisa was never deterred. She took the challenge head on, was so open minded and always had great suggestions to make. Most of these reviews can be hard to rely on. I am speaking the truth. Luisa is a gem and would be an asset to any ceremony. We love her!!!
