Testimonials

“Our experience with Rev.’s Natalia Ballestena and Marny Fyfe (dual-ministers for our bilingual ceremony) was fabulous! The two were punctual, professional, supportive, and caring throughout the ceremony rehearsal and wedding day. The transition between English & Spanish throughout the ceremony was flawless & therefore we were able to enjoy "our moment" even more. In addition, our guests were also impressed with the fantastic job the ladies did and we received many compliments after wards. I would highly recommend both Natalia and Marny to anyone looking for wedding ministers!” ~ Stephanie & Fernando, July 2011
