FAQ

What couples usually ask

Do you officiate bilingual ceremonies?

Yes. Your ceremony can be in English, Spanish or both, so every guest feels part of the moment.

How far in advance should I book?

We recommend booking several months ahead, especially for weekends in peak season. Even if your date is close, reach out: we’ll do our best to be there.

What do I need to get legally married in New Jersey?

You need a marriage license from your local registrar, and your ceremony must be performed by an authorized officiant. We walk you through the process and complete and return the license after the ceremony.

Do you travel to the venue?

Yes. We serve weddings throughout New Jersey. Tell us where you’re celebrating and we’ll share all the details.

Does the interpreter service include immigration advice?

No. We provide Spanish–English interpretation only. We do not give legal or immigration advice; for that, please consult an attorney or accredited representative.
