I got married on March 7, 2015 at UCLA. I found Maria through wedding.com and from the very beginning i wasn't exactly the easiest "straightforward" bride as I live in Boston but had my wedding in LA. From the very start, Maria was extremely responsive, accommodating, and worked around my schedule to make sure we connected during my one and only trip to LA before my wedding. She remained extremely sweet and helpful throughout the entire process! We communicated mainly via email as it made things easier due to the 3-hour time difference. But Maria was always open to talking on the phone or skyping too---I just prefer email and she was totally okay with that! She sent me regular check-ins as we got closer to the date and even sent me sample vows, which were extremely helpful. She also gave me ideas on how to incorporate our mothers in the ceremony which turned out beautiful! She was even open to sharing the ceremony with me and had me okay it before the wedding to make sure I liked it! I couldn't have asked for more! From the moment I contacted her up until the wedding day, Maria remained just as sweet, helpful and accommodating. Rehearsal: Maria attended the rehearsal to do a run through of the ceremony the day before the wedding. To my surprise (and perhaps hers---but she was too sweet to say) that day revealed how little I had actually planned out the little intricacies of the wedding day!! I didn't have a wedding planner and had only taken one trip to LA before the wedding, so I was too busy mingling with family and friends that I didn't realize I'd overlooked so many details of the wedding. In a moment of panic, Maria stepped in and helped me organize the entire ceremony and helped me figure out where everyone would go, what we would all do, and how we would make my day simple and beautiful! And indeed it was. I can't thank her enough for helping me organize myself during rehearsal--it could have been a disaster otherwise. Wedding day: with nerves running high and everyone running around everywhere, I was confident that Maria would put me at ease and indeed she did. The ceremony ran as smooth as it could have and she delivered such a beautiful ceremony! She made mine bilingual (Spanish and English) and both sides of my family absolutely loved it! Her delivery and passion allowed my husband and I to feel like we were the only 2 standing there. It was absolutely perfect! I am so grateful I chose Maria and can't recommend her enough. The words that stand out when I think of my experience with her are patient, kind, accommodating, and excellent! Thanks again, Maria for helping make my wedding day perfect!
