Thank you very much to our offician Al-x Buenaflor at Heisler Gazebo park. It was amazing.

Alan and his team are THE BEST. We had so many changes to our wedding plans but the one thing we…read moreknew wouldn't disappoint us was working with Great Officiants. From the jump, Alan and his team were incredibly nice, honest, responsive, and excellent at explaining the whole process to us. Wedding planning was a roller coaster ride and they're here for all of it. Alan was our officiant and he made our whole ceremony so light yet romantic. It was added humor and my husband and I appreciated all of it.

Where do I start- I didn't expect such a beautiful experience from a 1 Hour Marriage chapel…read more(nothing to do with the chapel business it just seemed like a quick come and go vibe but it was nothing like that)! Yenmin was absolutely AMAZING! I did not expect to cry at all and the tears were FLOWINGGGGGG. She gave an option to do the ceremony in Spanish for my family and we did not expect that. Very professional and accommodating staff! The second Yenmin began to give the ceremony, I felt as if me and my husband were alone in the room getting ready to step into the next phase of our life. This experience was everything I could have imagined. Thank you so much!!!!

My review is extremely super late! Like 5-6 years late. But I wanted a fast almost like "Vegas…read morewedding chapel" style. I came across this place! Highly recommended! Very professional and fast! We wanted our wedding to be on our anniversary (Veterans day). They can come to you, or you can go to them. Now, we got married during the pandemic so it was very limited to what they can actually offer at their location. We brought in tripods to set up our phones to do a virtual wedding. I had Facebook live and my husband had zoom on his. This allowed all of our friends and family to attend from near and far. We got there at 1030am to set up and sign the documents. Then the ceremony started at 11am and finished at 11:11am! It did not take us 1 hour to get married, took us longer to set up than it did for the whole process lol. The BEST part is they do EVERYTHING that deals with paperwork for you! During covid, that meant everything because I didnt have to worry about going to file at the county, or deal with people. I know my sister-in-law got married at the same place and so did another colleague from work after we did.

My husband and I were originally going to get married in a Catholic Church, however it seemed that…read morethere were timing conflicts with our wedding start time and distance. Deep down inside, I wanted to get married at our venue because it was so beautiful, but we still wanted the Catholic ceremony. I came across the American Catholic Church from my cousin and I am so happy I did! We worked with Father Brian and Deacon Gary. They were both great to work with! The counseling class was eye opening and informative and gamey husband and I some great talking points on stuff we needed to work on, or how each of us handles certain situations. Father Brian married us on our wedding day. We received so many compliments on how beautiful the ceremony was and how great of a job Father Brian did. Instead of a Unity Candle, we had a Rope tying sign. Father Brian tied in the Celtic rope tying tradition since my husband is Irish. My husband finished his vows late the night before. He emailed them over to Father Brian, and he was still able to approve his vows before our ceremony. I hope that for Catholic couples who want a Catholic ceremony, but want to be married outside of the church, that they truly consider going though Good Shepherd Church. I highly recommend them!

I found the church…read morebecause I wanted to be able to have a catholic wedding ceremony because I am catholic but my then fiancé isn't. In addition, I was married before so it was impossible to find a priest to marry us. I was about to give up on my dream before finding the church (the power of internet). We worked mostly with Deacon Gary and Father Jack and they were great. We enjoyed every bit of the process from the initial meeting, counseling class and the planning the ceremony timeline. Deacon Gary made sure everything was done to satisfy both of our families and on the day of the wedding he worked with our coordinator and DJ to make sure everything was smoothly. Deacon Gary officiated the ceremony beautifully. Everything went off perfectly. A lot of our guests complimented on the ceremony. I hope that for future couples who are in my situation to consider Good Shepherd Church.

It was only me, my mom, my baby, and husband. I uploaded photos... I chose not to purchase extras or florals and just look at my backdrop!! . I chose the bohemian look and it was such a dream. Marni and Shaunte were ABSOLUTELY WONDERFUL... So helpful, kind, and sweet! The photographer, Michael, what an amazing personality and just person all around!
