Erika was fantastic! She officiated our unique helicopter wedding with professionalism and warmth. She was flexible, accommodating our unconventional venue, and even held a Pocket 3 to capture our special moment. Erika handled all the paperwork efficiently, keeping us informed throughout the process. Her calm demeanor and clear communication made our ceremony smooth and memorable. We highly recommend Erika for couples seeking a personalized and stress-free wedding experience, especially those planning something out of the ordinary!

Erika was everything I could have asked for in an officiant. She was very responsive following our first contact. She was so thorough in writing our ceremony and made sure to include things in our ceremony that were personal to us. Erika came to our wedding rehearsal and was so helpful in arranging everyone and making sure everything was just how we wanted it. All of that said, Erika really won me over with her words of wisdom and making it a point to check in with both of us prior to the ceremony starting. She really helped put my mind at ease on my wedding day and I would highly, highly recommend her.

I can’t say enough about Erika. She married my husband on our wedding day and again on our vow renewal in 2024. ❤️ The way she spoke, the way she wrote key parts of our ceremony, the way she understood us and what we needed to really represent us as a couple was beyond perfect. ☺️ She knew just when to step away for pictures even 😂 She will forever be our officiant because I plan on marrying my husband every few years…. That dress is meant to be worn more than once 😂😂😂

FAQs

What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
My pricing starts at $200. For in person wedding ceremonies prices varies depending on location
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
I like to meet my clients in person if possible. If my clients are not able to meet in person they are welcome to contact me via e-mail, or my direct number (text messages is also welcomed) and lastly via Skype using my email address. I like to get to know and learn how the couple meet. It is important for me to be able to understand the couples wants and needs to perform the perfect ceremony. I give the couples examples of ceremonies of which they can choose from. If a couple wants a poem or a bible verse included in their ceremony but don't know where to start I can also provide those examples for them. From there I can customize the wedding to the couples liking.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I have a Bachelors Degree in business management from Robert Morris University. I also have been translating in Spanish for the past 14 years in a therapeutic day school for disabled students.
