My Process
As a storytelling wedding officiant in the Riviera Maya, my process is designed to be intentional, stress-free, and deeply personal — so your ceremony reflects who you truly are.
Whether you’re planning a symbolic ceremony or a legal wedding in Cancun, Playa del Carmen, or Tulum, I guide you every step of the way with clarity, care, and heart.
1. From Chemistry to Contract
Every love story starts with a conversation.
My process begins with a video call where we get to know each other. You’ll share your vision, your values, and how you want your ceremony to feel.
If the chemistry is there (and it usually is), we move forward with:
-
Signing the contract (I only need a copy of your ID)
-
Securing your date with a 15% deposit
-
And just like that… your wedding date is officially reserved in my calendar
No chemistry? No problem at all. I’ll gladly help you find another professional who feels like the right fit.
2. From Paperwork to Emotion
For all ceremonies (symbolic or legal), I schedule a second video call 2–3 weeks before the wedding.
This is where we truly connect. I get to know your story, your energy, and the details that will shape a ceremony that feels authentic and meaningful to you.
For legal weddings, I’ll only need:
-
Valid IDs
-
Four witnesses
(Requirements may vary for Mexican citizens)
I take care of all the paperwork and logistics, so you can focus on enjoying the experience — stress-free.
3. Your wedding day!
After days (or months!) of planning…
After choosing the dress, imagining the moment, and counting down the days…
Your wedding day is finally here.
And I’ll be right there with you — fully present, grounded, and intentional — guiding the ceremony so everything flows naturally and you can simply live the moment.
4. After the ceremony
After your ceremony, you’ll receive your marriage certificate (legal or symbolic) as a keepsake of your day.
If you need English translation/apostille, I’ll mail it to your home within 6-8 weeks (extra cost).
Oh, and once you’re sipping champagne and reliving every magical moment... don’t forget to leave me a review! It means the world to me, helps others find me, and might just save another couple’s day ;)
Frequently Asked Questions
Every ceremony is unique, but here are some of the questions I am most frequently asked.
- Do you officiate more than one wedding per day? No. I dedicate my full energy and presence to one ceremony per day only. I also limit my calendar to a maximum of 10 weddings per month, because every couple deserves my complete attention, creativity, and heart — not a rushed or recycled ceremony.
- Can we include rituals or symbolic traditions in our ceremony? Yes, from unity rituals to spiritual elements or cultural traditions, I help you choose rituals that truly represent your story, values, and vision — never something generic or forced.
- Do you offer bilingual or multicultural wedding ceremonies? Absolutely — and it’s one of my favorite things to do. I officiate ceremonies in English, Spanish, and Portuguese, and I frequently create bilingual or trilingual ceremonies. I’ve had the honor of designing ceremonies that blend different cultures, spiritual beliefs, and traditions — always with deep respect and intention.
- Do you offer both legal and symbolic weddings? Yes. I officiate both legal weddings in Mexico and symbolic wedding ceremonies in the Riviera Maya. I will guide you through the requirements and help you choose the option that best fits your needs.
- When and how do we make payments? To secure your date, a 15% deposit is required once the contract is signed. Payments can be made via: Bank transfer (Mexico) Wise (international clients) The remaining balance is paid in cash before the ceremony.
- What makes a storytelling wedding ceremony different? A storytelling wedding ceremony is written from scratch, inspired entirely by your love story. There is no copy-paste, no scripts used twice, and no generic structure. Every word, pause, and moment is intentionally crafted to reflect who you are as individuals and as a couple. Your ceremony becomes an experience — not just a formality.
- What happens if you get sick on our wedding day? (Touching wood!) This has never happened — but I’m prepared. I work with trusted professional officiants who would receive your fully personalized ceremony script and execute it exactly as planned.
