    Fun and ever lasting wedding ceremony!

    I felt so comfortable and happy with Father Joaquin officiating and celebrating my wedding. We laughed, we cried and married!
    He spoke English and Spanish during the wedding ceremony which made everyone in my family feel welcomed and a part of our union.

    Thank you Father Joaquin!

    Father Joaquin was amazing and did a great job at our ceremony. He even went to both our rooms to make sure we were ready and on time. He made the ceremony very interesting and not boring at all, he was very interactive. It's been 8 days since our wedding and I don't regret hiring him, he was the best choice I could have ever picked for this special moment.

    Father Joaquin is the absolute best! From the first time I spoke to him over the phone he had me laughing. He has such an amazing way of making you feel at ease which is especially important since you will most likely be a big ball of nerves on your wedding day! He made our ceremony very personal by incorporating our little love story and our guests really enjoyed that. I could hear people laughing all throughout the ceremony because he has the charisma to reach that many people! And also I really loved the blessings he gave, it really felt like it was tailored to our needs!!! Call him and see for yourself :)

    Father Joaquin Perez was wonderful as the officiant for our wedding! I knew from the first phone call I made to him that I wanted him as our officiant. We wanted a traditional religious ceremony with a modern twist and Father Perez was perfect for this. He brought a bit of traditionalism and mixed it with a little humor to break the ice and make everyone more comfortable and relaxed. Everyone at our wedding absolutely loved Father Perez and I got complemented on the ceremony the whole night. Father Perez was a hit and I would definitely recommend him to all of my family and friends!

    There are not enough words that could describe how Father Perez made our wedding absolutely perfect. Father Perez was booked on the day we planned our wedding, he was the Priest we wanted to officiate our wedding. My lovely bride called Father Perez to check his availability on our date, he apologized and said he was already booked and wouldn’t be able to make it. We called other priests who were available, it wasn’t the same we knew we wanted Father Perez, from the time we spoke to him over the phone, sense of humor, warmth in his voice and heart you could sense right away this was who we wanted. I had nothing to lose, I called him back and said there is nobody that could replace you, we are willing to change our wedding timeline to accommodate you if you would be willing to come, he agreed!

    Father Perez raced from Hollywood, FL to the Ritz Carlton, South Beach Miami Saturday June 11th to officiate our wedding. To us this was the most important ceremony/ celebration in our life, it was very important to my Fiancé and I that we had the person we both agreed on to marry us with the most loving heart, who was passionate and be the one to unite us in our vows while delivering the blessings of God. Father Perez was actually the highlight of our wedding he not only touched my wife Stacie and me, but many others as well. Father Perez has the best personality & sense of humor, the Padre had our guest in tears laughing along as the ceremony progressed adding humor, touching thoughts, inspiration along with words of wisdom for us as we joined our lives together. The most touching moment is when Padre Perez included my 17 year old son into ceremony seamlessly, it brought tears to everyone eyes including my son as Father Perez united us as a family. We can’t thank Padre Perez enough, he will be forever intertwined in our memories and lives going forward, along with God’s hand over us Father Perez made our wedding day perfect! Thank you Father! Stacie & Sharif

    Father Joaquin came recommended from my venue (The Cooper Estate). He performed an amazing wedding ceremony. Although we did not meet until the day of the wedding, we spoke a few times via email and phone and he was always very responsive. He performed some sections of the ceremony in English and in Spanish, perfect for my Cuban family, he even threw in some Italian (since my husband's family is half Italian). The ceremony was simple yet heartfelt, and even managed to be hilarious. He had everybody laughing and crying! He captured what my husband and I loved about each other and incorporated that into our ceremony. He made sure everybody left with a smile and even took the time to mingle with our parents and some guests. I would highly recommend using Father Joaquin, he made our ceremony a truly beautiful and memorable one.

    Fr. Joaquin performed the most beautiful wedding ceremony for us. It was genuine, heartfelt, simple and funny. He handled everything perfectly and soothed both of our nerves. He had everybody laughing and crying! He understood what I wanted perfectly from the get-go. Our wedding ceremony was bilingual and included everybody, perfect for Miami. His ceremony had sweet and romantic parts as well as emotional moments, he took a moment to remember my late father and all of the special people in our lives. He made sure everybody left with a smile and even took some time with me and my husband after to give us advice and wish us well. We will remember him forever.

    We asked Father Joaquin to officiate our marriage.
    It was the most heartfelt ceremony I could ever imagine.
    He was amazing!! Father Joaquin threw in bits of humor and love that kept a great energy throughout the ceremony.
    Father Joaquin made every moment of the ceremony special and truly helped to create a meaningful ceremony. Our ceremony was short but sweet.
    My vision truly became a reality, marrying the love of my life.
    We will forever be grateful to Father Joaquin and highly recommend him.!! Thank you!

    My husband and I are so pleased with how our ceremony turned out thanks to Father Joaquin, it was sweet, funny, customized to us and our families, and just PERFECT! He made us all laugh and cry, our guests couldn’t stop talking about Father Joaquin, and how different yet traditional our ceremony was, it seriously was the perfect combination of both. Please do not hesitate in working with Father Joaquin, you will not be disappointed.

    Padre Joaquin grazie, letture e messaggi in italiano sono stati migliori wue molti che avevano sentito le stesse italia; Detto questo la mia mamma! - VG
    I speak Spanish to my, now husband, and he speaks Italian to me. Father Joaquin did the ceremony in both Italian and Spanish. The very special touch was that he had my husband say his vows to me in Spanish and led me to say mine in Italian! He is absolutely wonderful, soulful, personable, funny and responsive. My single friends all said they'll be calling on him for their ceremonies! Grazie Padre Joaquin! - YM

    Father Perez performed our wedding ceremony at The Palms Hotel and Spa in August and his ceremony was absolutely perfect! We do not live in the Miami area so we had not had an opportunity to meet Father before the wedding day, but he took the time to learn about us as a couple and we felt like we were married by someone that had known us for years. My husband's family are Spanish speaking and my family only speaks English, however, he was able to prepare a ceremony that included vows and readings in both languages so that everyone felt involved and included in the wedding! I wouldn't change one single thing! -- absolutely AMAZING!

    Father Perez is highly highly recommended for weddings. We had our wedding on 7/31/15 at the Palms Hotel and Spa in the gazebo and Father Perez was our officiant. We met him six months prior to our wedding and he just left such a warm and caring impression to play such a vital role in our wedding ceremony. He is the perfect officiant.....very personable.......and will forever leave a wonderful memory of our special day in our hearts..
    We give Father Perez a 5 start rating all around.

    Father Joaquin was such a perfect fit for our wedding, and my husband and I are so happy he was available to be our officiant for our very special day.

    Prior to the wedding, Father Joaquin was very easy to talk to. The ease of which we were able to get in contact with him for any questions or concerns we may have had with the ceremony was very important to us. He was always available to soothe the nervous bride.

    Being that my family is from Spain, it was important to us that we be able to incorporate our traditions into the ceremony of "Las Arras" (the coins) and "La mantilla". Father Joaquin was on board!

    The ceremony was the best part of course. Father was able to officiate our ceremony in both English and Spanish, making sure that everyone who attended understood. This was a big plus since we have people that only spoke Spanish at our wedding, and others who only spoke English.

    The ceremony was beautiful. Father was very humorous and made everyone feel very relaxed. He has a way of drawing in the crowd as only a great speaker can. All of our guests made it a point to mention to me how great he was! We are so thankful to Father Joaquin for officiating our ceremony for a love that will last a lifetime.

    Thank you again Father Joaquin! :)

    Father Joaquin was great; I have never heard so many complements at any wedding, on how great the officiate was. All we heard about the entire night was how entertaining and engaging his service was, The first day we met him in person was the day of the wedding, and we both felt like we had known him our entire lives.

    Father Joaquin officiated my ceremony. He was wonderful, everyone loved it, he personalized it in a way that fitted perfectly. It was cute, lovely, funny! By the way I was 40 minutes late because I got stuck on traffic and he waited for me. I recommend him 200%!
