ALIZOS WEDDINGS/BILINGUAL OFFICIANTS

First of all, we are so grateful that we found Zoraida. The very first conversation we had she listened attentively and immediately accepted our date, when so many others, including pastors from our church, could not. The day of our wedding, November 25th 2011, she was professional, soothing, and did an amazing job with the bilingual transcript we planned for our ceremony. I just cannot say enough. She is the best! I highly recommend her for both English and Spanish services. Thank you Zoraida for making our ceremony complete.

Nathan Hughes was our bilingual officiant. He was early and ready to go. He joined us at our rehearsal dinner and was so patient with all the chaos. He's amazing. Everyone was teary eyed at our ceremony. Having a bilingual ceremony was so important so that everyone felt included. He's all around awesome. I recommend anyone at Alizos to officiate your wedding. They're great people.

There are no words to express our gratitude for such a BEAUTIFUL....Wedding Ceremony! It was one of a kind, timeless. I come from a traditional Latin American family with Catholic beliefs. My husband, African American with Baptist beliefs. Zoraida (our wedding officiant) translated our ceremony in both spanish and english. She was so respectful of our religious backgrounds and those of our families. She really helped make everyone feel comfortable and at ease. It was ~PERFECT~! I would highly recommend Zoraida! If you're looking for professionalism and diversity, look no further you've found your Wedding Day officiants! It was truly an honor to have had Zoraida as our wedding officiant. Thank you again from the bottom of our happy hearts for making our wedding day as special as can be!

We got married 7/9/11 at Falkner Winery. The moment we met Zoraida we automatically knew we wanted her to marry us. Our ceremony was great. Bilingual Spanish/English. She was easy to understand and helped us w/ translating verses for our ceremony. Would definately recommend her to any bride/groom!!

My husband and I had been looking for a bilingual officiant for some time and we were beginning to get discouraged when we found Alizos Weddings. We called and spoke to Zoraida and we immediately knew we wanted her to officiate our wedding ceremony. It was so important to us to have a bilingual ceremony that represents us since we (my husband and I) are Mexican American and our parents are very traditional (Mexican). Speaking of tradition, Zoraida did such a great job at incorporating some traditional elements into our ceremony (lazo & arras) and also some non-traditional elements like the rose ceremony, reading of a poem and a blessing. Zoraida was proffesional & friendly and she has such a nice voice too! Zoraida even mingled w/ some of our guests prior to the ceremony as we ran late. My mother in law later told me she talked w/ Zoraida for quite some time prior to the ceremony and she had nothing but nice things to say about Zoraida. To date our friends and family compliment Zoraida's work stating it was one of the most beautiful ceremonies they have witnessed! Our family and guest's especially loved that the ceremony was bilingual! We could not have chosen a better officiant!

Thank you Zoraida for giving us such a beautiful and memorable ceremony!

Our ceremony was performed by Zoraida. We were looking for a bilingual officiant for a while and when we met with her, we knew we'd found the right person. She was timely, clear, and warm. She provided the right balance of English and Spanish in the ceremony and my parents (the Spanish speakers) were very pleased that they understood what was being said.

Nathan was our officiant for our 4/23/11 ceremony and he was GREAT!! He performed an excellent bilingual ceremony for us! I met with him right before the ceremony and he was very relaxed and made me feel really at ease! Great to work with! :)

Thank you Zoraida, for making our wedding ceremony so special and memorable! You are truly a professional. Thank you for being so responsive to our needs. You gave our wedding ceremony such an elegant and romantic touch. Alizo’s Wedding is the best at wedding ceremonies. THANK YOU!

We would like to thank you, Zoraida and Nathan, for all your hard work and effort you did to make our wedding ceremony intimate and memorable. All of our best wishes go out to Nathan Hughes who was amazing!!!! He was very accommodating and responsive to our needs. We were able to enjoy ourselves because we knew we were in good hands. All of our guest thought he was a family member or family friend because he helped everyone feel so comfortable as well as we did! We hope to be able to refer your services to all of our friends and loved ones!!! Good luck in all you do and thank you again!!

Zoraida was very professional and very punctual. She spoke clearly and loud at our ceremony, which is very important. We asked for a Spanish language ceremony and it came out perfect!

I just recently got married on July 4th, 2010, I'm a new bride! I just like any other bride was very nervous about the ceremony and wanted everything to go extremely smoothly. Zoraida Hughes with Alizos Weddings did that and more! The wedding ceremony turned out better than I could have ever dreamed of! I will forever remember the beautiful, emotional and perfectly executed ceremony Zoraida provided us with! Words cannot express how ecstatic and fulfilled I feel about the wedding! I would most definitely recommend Alizos Weddings to any friend and or family member! My sister will be getting married through Alizos Weddings too! Zoraida made us feel like part of the family! Thank you so much!

I would like to thank very much for the wonderful wedding that Mrs. Hughes performed on my dream day. She made it come true. Her performance, every details and arrangements were chosen so carefully that every thing looked so beautiful and with a touch of romance that every bride will dream about. Her punctuality and flexibility is also to thank about. The ceremony was performed with so elegancy and spoken in English and Spanish, so every guest was following the complete ceremony. My wedding experience was one of greatness and total satisfaction. Every task was performed with excellence and total professionalism. My husband and I were well pleased and we will recommend your company to everyone we come in contact with the seeking for the service of performing weddings. Thanks very much for a job well done.

We are very pleased with Alizo's wedding services. Zoraida gave us so many options for our ceremony and helped us pick the perfect ceremony. She took time to meet with us and get to know us. She was able to know exactly what we were looking for. On the day of the event, she was there on time and was prepared. We had a beautiful ceremony thanks to Zoraida. We would definetaly recommend Alizo's wedding services to everyone.

Mr. & Mrs. Rojas

We were extremely please with the wedding ceremony. The official was professional and very warming. Would recomend her to friends and family!

I could not have ask for more very profesional and welcoming I really apreciate all your work I would recomended to anyone who wants to have a really nice weeding thank you Zoraida for making my day very special.

Zoriada was very nice and patient with me. She performed a very nice and intimate ceremony and was able to do it bilingual for our families. It was beautifully done and our guests enjoyed it. Thank you.

Zoraida did a great job of officiating our bilingual ceremony. She had several styles to choose from from religious to non-denominational. Our ceremony felt customized. We got complements about it. We liked the fact that it was about 15 minutes which is all we needed to make it official. We got married in a restaurant with a banquet room so we needed a ceremony that felt more relaxed but still solemn enough to feel like a wedding. She gave us great suggestions and had answers to our questions. Her primary language is Spanish, so she has a slight accent when speaking English. Nonetheless it's not a heavy accent. In Zoraida we found someone who spoke Spanish correctly and is fluent in English. A bilingual ceremony was one way of making our English and Spanish speaking guests included. We're glad we booked Alizos Weddings.

OUR OFFICIANT ZORIDA WAS GREAT SHE HAD TO DEAL WITH TWO COUPLES AT THE SAME TIME SO IT WAS IMPORTANT THAT EVERYTHING WENT WELL AND IT DID . WE WHERE VERY HAPPY WITH THE CEREMONY AND SHE IS A PLEASANT PERSON AND UNDERSTANDING TOO, LIKE I SAID THERE WHERE 2 COUPLES AND IT WAS A BILINGUAL WEDDING. GREAT JOB ZORIDA THANK YOU FOR EVERYTHING, THE COTTON WEDDING

The service provided by Zoraida was great! She was wonderful to work with :)

Zoraida did a wonderful job with our wedding. It was perfect. Thank you for helping to make it such a special occasion.

We are pleased to have Alizos Weddings Perform our wedding ceremony. Alizos wedding made our day very special and memoralble. The officiant made everything go smooth, from the reading and the vows it made everyone tear up. We received a lot of coments during our reception, like "It was a beautiful ceremony", "The words that we said to each other in our vows were very touching". Thank You alizos Wedding for makeing our day a very Special and Memorable Day for Us.

Thank you so much, he was wonderful and very comforting. We were very pleased :) Thanks again!

Alizos Wedding Officiant performed a beautiful bilingual ceremony and everybody loved the wonderful poem that Zoraida picked out for us. We were both extremely happy with the services that were provided. I would definitely recommend Alizos wedding officiants to anybody that is looking for a bilingual officiant, it's a great way to include all family members and any traditions you wish to have.

We got married on February 15, 2010, and Zoraida was the officiant for our wedding. She was great to work with. Not only did she provide lots of useful samples of ceremonies, she also was very prompt in returning our calls/emails, was very professional, and arrived on time at the location. She's also very friendly and respectful, and really we couldn't ask for a better officiant. We wanted a ceremony in Spanish, and her Spanish was the best (she's a native speaker) of the officiants we considered in the Los Angeles and Orange County areas. Her English is also very good, and we highly recommend her to anyone considering a wedding ceremony.

Zoraida Hughes was very accommodating, she's worth every penny. We had family from Mexico at wedding & her bilingual service made them feel included.

Rev. Morales gave us the most beautiful wedding ceremony we could have ever dreamed of, with the help of Mrs. Houghes who gave us all of the tools necessary to create our very own personalized ceremony and vows. We did have a couple of issues though. Mrs. Houghes was to have performed our ceremony but had an emergency out of the country, which we can all understand. She did send our ceremony and vows to Rev. Morales, but forgot to give him the information to our ceremony site. Rev. Morales was at my home at the time we were supposed to be getting married. Luckily I don't live too far from the site. I had luckily given my wedding coordinator all of the vendors phone numbers so she called and got ahold of him. He arrived 1/2 hour late shortening our coctail hour by 30 minutes. We lost our photography time with our friends and family and wasted most of the money paid for the hor'dorves since we had to make sure to run the rest of the night on schedule. Another concern we had was that 30 days later,our paperwork was not found by the county recorder's office. We just checked again 6weeks later and it was filed and recorded as of 2 days ago! We are married!!!!

Bilingual service was great! Nice family business. Was willing to drive from Chino to North OC. Arrived on time and provided detailed info regarding ceremony process.

Zoraida Hughes was an excellent officiant, our guests were teary-eyed with the wonderful readings she picked for us. we recommend her highly.

We are very pleased with Alizo's wedding services. Zoraida gave us so many options for our ceremony and helped us pick the perfect ceremony. She took time to meet with us and get to know us. She was able to know exactly what we were looking for. On the day of the event, she was there on time and was prepared. We had a beautiful ceremony thanks to Zoraida. We would definetaly recommend Alizo's wedding services to everyone.
