Custom Ceremonies by Rev. Bermudez

i came across Julian when my original officiant could not do my wedding because of a time change. He actually recommended him. I met with Julian and his wife and they were the nicest people. He understood I just wanted a simple and quick ceremony. He was on time for the rehearsal and ceremony and it went smooth, without a single issue. Thanks Julian!

Reverend Bermudez and his wife were so much fun and such a joy to work with that we just had to invite him to stay for the reception. They are extremely knowledgeable, professional, supportive, and have a wonderful sense of humor.

Reverend Bermudez and his wife Laura are the best at this job! EXTREMELY PROFFESSIONAL! They are always on top of things. They make you sure you are prepared and ready and they are ahead of you at every step on the way. Especially if this is your first wedding and don't have any wedding experience like me! You don't know what you don't know. Thank you Mr. & Mrs. Bermudez! You made my ceremony unforgettable!

Julian and his wife, Laura, were amazing to work with. They met with us multiple times leading up to the wedding ceremony to perfect details in a complicated multi-language, multi-cultural ceremony. They were flexible and focused on making the ceremony personal and meaningful. During the actual ceremony, Julian kept the mood light while instilling the appropriate level of seriousness to such an important event. Many guests have commented, since the wedding, that it was the best ceremony they've ever attended, largely thanks to Julian's preparation.

Rev. Bermudez was a wonderful part of our wedding. He was very personable and even brought humor to our wedding when a train decided to come during our ceremony. He was very professional, and his wife was even helpful with our rehearsal and wedding day! I would recommend Rev. Bermudez to anyone who needs an officiant for their special day!

Working with Rev. Burmudez and his wife, Laura, was truly a unique experience. From start to finish, not only did they answer all of our questions and provide guidance when requested, they truly made us feel like family while doing so. Like our wedding experience mattered just as much to them as it did to us. They never pressured us to shape our ceremony into anything other than what worked exactly for us, who we are, and the type of ceremony we envisioned. In so doing, we walked away truly feeling as though we had just that - our very own touching, beautiful, unique experience! And if planning your own ceremony sounds daunting to those who want to choose pre-selected readings/vows, it was not! It was so easy and truly helped us see what was the most important thing about our wedding - the vows and the commitment we were making to each other. I recommend Rev. Bermudez to anyone in the process of planning their wedding!

Rev. Bermudez and his wife Laura were absolutely excellent. They met with us and helped us design our perfect ceremony. Everything was clear and they even created a section to include our daughter in the ceremony. Everything was easy with them; professional and punctual. I have to admit I was nervous about working with an officiant because they don't know you. But through our conversations and emails, it was like Rev. Bermudez was family. Everyone talked about how beautiful the ceremony was. Rev. Bermudez's anecdotes were very creative as well. If you don't have a person in mind to preside over your ceremony, I would strongly suggest using Rev. Bermudez, he was excellent and my ceremony was definitely custom made and fit for us!

My wedding ceremony was exactly what my now husband and I wanted, thanks to Rev. Bermudez and his wife Laura. Searching for an officiant was one of the harder tasks during the planning of our wedding, but my husband and I felt so relieved when we met Rev. Bermudez and his wife Laura, months before our wedding. We hit it off very well, and they were very open, flexible and easy to talk to. We were able to set up the kind of ceremony we were looking for (Catholic elements, bilingual). An added bonus was that Laura served as our day-of coordinator during our ceremony. She made it so I really had nothing to worry about the day of. Both Rev. Bermudez and his wife Laura came to our rehearsal, the day before the wedding and ran through the entire ceremony until we felt comfortable. As I mentioned before, the actual ceremony was beautiful without any problems. Leading up to the ceremony, Rev. Bermudez was very responsive to emails, and I knew exactly what I would expect on the day of. Many of our guests commented on how lovely Rev. Bermudez and his wife were, and how they enjoyed our ceremony. Thank you so much for being such an important part of our big day.

Rev. Julian Bermudez and his wife were very responsive and sensitive to our needs.

Rev. Bermudez and his wife Laura were absolutely wonderful! Trust me when I write that we were having such a terrible time locating the perfect officiant for our wedding. Not only do my wife and I come from different religious backgrounds, we were fastidious concerning whom the official would be. Mainly, we had an expectation that he or she would enhance the emotionality of our service. Rev. Bermudez fulfilled our wish beautifully by allowing us a platform from which our feelings for each other could really be felt by all in attendance and not masked by extraneous and traditional practices. The template that Rev. Bermudez uses is great and very detailed. It has a lot of choices for your personalization which range from contemporary to extremely religious and traditional prose and activities. You can mix, match and omit selections to your personality and lifestyle. Also, he allows for personalization of his template to accommodate your vision and wishes. Your wedding will truly be yours.A large benefit in choosing Rev. Bermudez is the ability to hire his wife for a small additional expense. She will take care of the little things the day of your wedding and aid in its rehearsal. Her aid allows you the benefit of relaxing and knowing someone is ensuring everything goes smoothly. When you retain both of them you are purchasing a team and it only improves your ceremony having their combined efforts. They also attended our reception and helped in our celebration by hitting the dance floor and cutting up some rug. Truly their service and attendance was a blessing. Our wedding was a fairytale and we are very appreciative of Rev. Bermudez and Laura’s help in making our dream come to life. -Chance and Tavna Sizemore, Wedding Date: June 11, 2011

Rev. Bermudez along with his wonderful wife Laura, lived up to their motto of "custom ceremonies". We had an initial meet and greet and from there on out we communicated either by phone or e-mail with Rev. Bermudez. We were able to customize our wedding ceremony with the help of his ceremony templates via e-mail. Laura was a great help also, giving direction both during the rehearsal and on our wedding day. We thank them both for all they did to make our day special!

A couple of weeks before our wedding and our officiant could not marry us so we frantically looked for someone for our religious ceremony. Rev. Bermudez was able to help us, work with our schedule, and put together a beautiful ceremony in a week!! We were so happy! His response was very fast and we so appreciate his time. Thank you.

Rev. Bermudez officiated our wedding and was wonderful. We were able to meet ahead of time to talk about what my fiancé and I wanted for our ceremony- He and his wife also gave suggestions to add to our ideas. Rev. Bermudez was professional as well as personable and made everything smooth and natural. We both would refer him to anyone who is looking for an affordable & professional Officiant.

Excellent ceremony - everyone attending was very impressed.

Rev. Bermudez and his wife were very accommodating and sweet. I am glad that they were a part of our very special day!

Rev. Bermudez and his wife Laura were wonderful to work with. They will customize your ceremony to what you want. His wife is even a coordinator and she made sure we all came down at the right time and that everything went smoothly.

Rev. Bermudez and Laura were wonderful!Not only were they professional, they were super friendly, very easy to work with and flexible.Thank you for giving us such a special memorable wedding day on a hot summer day, we will remember it for the rest of our lives.We really appreciate all your effort, attention to details and flowless coordination.Kerron + Holly

Rev Bermudez and his wife Laura were wonderful. The pre-marital counseling they provided opened our eyes immensely, although my husband and I both grew up in the church, the relation to marriage and the counseling was imperative and we believe will pay off in dividends, if you are planning to have pre-marital counseling, we recommend Rev and Laura as they provide the counseling as a couple to the couple. Rev Bermudez and Laura provided a wonderful ceremony, although the music didn't match up to the script, no one knew because only the Rev and I knew the script. The price for the services Rev Bermudez and Laura provided was priceless!

Rev. Julián Bermudez was absolutely wonderful! The orchestration of the wedding could not have been better!I truly feel blessed to have met such a kind , sincere man. All of my guest truly felt the power of our love through the ceremony and many, many of my guest told me that they found strength through his words!Thank you so much Reverend Bermudez!God bless you and all those who are fortunate enough to have found you!Bernard and Donna Heard

Reverend Bermudez and his wife helped us put on a great wedding ceremony - very helpful throughout the process - provided sample ceremony materials to help us design our own ceremony - highly recommended

Everything was great!

We both liked Reverend Bermudez and his wife, Laura, instantly. Rev Bermudez was easy to work with. He respected our wishes as an older couple and supported our ideas. He also suggested that we include a sand ceremony to cement our families; we thought this was unique and included it in our wedding ceremony. We received many positive comments on it from our guests. In addition, Laura was a perfect ceremony coordinator; we could not have done it without her!! Rev Bermudez promptly processed our paperwork, and our wedding certificate was waiting for us when we retuned from our honeymoon. We highly recommend Rev Bermudez and Laura. They both helped make our wedding special. sueanne and joe; June 12th, 2010

If we could give Rev. Bermudez a 10 out of 5, we would! :-) My husband and I did not know Rev. Bermudez before inquiring about his services. He met with us a few months beforehand, along with his lovely wife Laura (she provides additional "day of" services, if you need it and arrange for it ahead of time). He was professional and made us feel comfortable from the beginning.We were very impressed with how he presided over the wedding. We also got a lot of compliments from guests. One of my guests is also engaged and after the wedding she asked for his contact information, which I gladly provided.Rev. Bermudez gives you a a lot of options for how you want to customize the ceremony. Depending on your decision, he then gives you some paperwork to fill out so that he can better preside over the ceremony. He came to the ceremony fully prepared, appropriately dressed, and did a fabulous job. He also promptly mailed us the confirmation paperwork, letting us know he'd sent the marriage license to the courthouse.Rev. Bermudez was one of the least expensive officiants we found--you should definitely take advantage of his services because it is a deal!!p.s. He and Laura also oversaw a great rehearsal for us. They were patient and good humored when nearly all of our wedding party showed up late. They showed us exactly how and when to walk down the isle for the processional/recessional.I cannot rave enough about how great a job I think Rev. Bermudez (and Laura) did. We are very appreciative and happy to write a glowing recommendation.

Very helpful with the entire day, which is always more than welcome it's so much work and something is bound to go crazy.

Through all of the craziness of getting the wedding planned and completed, Rev. Bermudez and Mrs. Laura were an island of solitude and strength that we could look to. Thank you for all that you did!

Rev. Bermudez was wonderful! He created such a unique and special ceremony from beginning to end- it was the envy of our friends. We would recommend him to everyone! (His wife was also a wonderful help!)

Rev Bermudez and his wife were excellent to work with! I cant say enough positive things about them! I found Rev. Bermudez on www.theknot.com; I contacted Rev Bermudez and very soon after got a very nice, professional response and was willing to meet ASAP! We met Rev Bermudez and his very sweet wife, and we instantly bonded w/ them! They were very sweet, listened to our wants/desires/needs & said whatever we wanted they could do. They did a great job at discussing thier services and the timeline in which we would be working. We were always able to get in touch w/ them if we ever had any questions or concerns. We met them about 2x before the wedding and we were in instant contact with them about our choices and what we wanted. They were extremly accomodating and did everything that we had wished. I never worried that they wouldnt show or were goign to be late. The day of the wedding they were early and both even spoke w/ my husband and I before hand. They were there for the entire reception after also! They are absolutely wonderful and I cant recommend them enough!!

Mr Julian bermudez was awesome. Perfect for our personalities.

Perfect from beginning to end. We loved him as soon as we met with him and the price was perfect because he met with us for the rehearsal also.

Rev. Burmudez and his wife were great! We actually met with 2 other officiants and decided we liked Rev. Burmudez. They both made us feel so comfortable and were flexible with the ceremony. He offered us several choices for the ceremoney wording which allowed us to customize our ceremony. We opted to pay $50 for Mrs. Bermudez to help out during the wedding. She helped coordinate the bridal party, helped keep me calm, got me water when I needed it. She was an extra pair of eyes and ears to help make sure things ran smoothly and she did a great job! After the wedding we recieved our certificate quickly, along with a designed copy of our vows to be framed. They were great!

Rev. Juli�n Bermudez was a pleasure to work with. I would highly recommend him for any event! He was very professional and he did not treat my husband and I like �another couple getting married�. He and his wife were genuinely interested in getting to know us and treated us with warmth, care, and respect. They kept in contact with us over the long planning period, and didn�t hesitate to answer any questions we had concerning the wedding. They also provide pre-marriage counseling if interested. Also, they are very reasonably priced, and you definitely get what you pay for (professionalism!).

Rev. Bermudez was a blessing to my husband and myself. He was a perfect match to our belief system and gave priceless and practical advice during the pre-martial counseling. We could not have had a more beautiful ceremony. Our guests said he brought a peace upon them. All of our documents were received quickly without any errors. We appreciate all that he did for us and will always think of him and his wife, Laura, fondly!

Rev Bermudez provided the service of our dreams, he was flexible, compassionate, funny, and more than we could have hoped for. I would recommend him for sure. Additionally his wife accompanied him was also very helpful and personable.

Rev. Julian Bermudez performed a beautiful bilingual ceremony. There were so many options and he gave us the authority to customize the ceremony to our needs. I would highly recommend him to anyone. Laura, Rev. Julian Bermudez's wife, was also a pleasure to have as well. Everyone who attended the wedding commented on how wonderful and beautiful the ceremony was. Thank you for a memorable wedding!

We feel extremely lucky to have found Rev. Julian for our wedding. We wanted to have a bilingual, non-denominational wedding and Rev. Julian was perfect for the job. His 'process' allows you to customize your ceremony 100% and gives you complete control over it. I'll admit that going through all the choices that were available was a little daunting, but once we got through it and designed our ceremony, we were extremely happy with the results. We made changes to the script all the way up to the day before our wedding and he was totally cool with it. Him and his wife came over for the rehearsal. They were on time and ready to go. They were very patient with our wedding party during the rehearsal, as we were all over the place... it was very clear that they had done this very many times and they were very effective at coordinating a large group. On the day of the wedding, they were punctual and ready to go. Everything went as planned and we had a beautiful ceremony. Thank you Rev. Julian! As a side not, we only have two minor complaints: (1) out of all our vendors, Julian was the least on top of email so sometimes we would have to wait several days before receiving a response and (2) Mrs. Bermudez was a little bit more firm and controlling than I think was necessary for us. [this last one can be a good thing if you need someone to help you plan and make your ceremony super smooth -- it just didn't really work for our bridal party]

Rev Bermudez was absolutely wonderful. The groom and I did not know what to expect, however the service Rev Bermudez and his wife Laura provided for our ceremony was beyond our expectations.My family and friends are still tallking about how beautiful our wedding ceremony was and it's all because of Rev Bermudez's professionalism but most of all having a heart for what he does. I would highly recommend his services to anyone!!!!Michelle.

Rev Bermudez is simply great.

Julian was very kind and helpful, he took the time to sit with us and go over the ceremony so that we had exactly what we wanted (even though, from the beginning we didn't even know what we wanted!)It was a pleasure to work with him.

Everything went well and punctual. Since the initial time of our first meeting everthing was great.

Rev Bermudez and his wife, Laura, helped make our ceremony perfect. He provided us with so much information and options. We were able to customize our entire ceremony which was great, and surprisingly easy. I recommend premarital counseling through him as well. The session is about 1.5 hours and very informal. He and his wife make the counseling comfortable and informative.I would recommend Rev Bermudez to officiate your wedding.

Rev. Bermudez really make our wedding ceremony heart-felt and unique. We were able to customize everything from the readings to the vows to personalize and also conducted pre-marital counseling with him and Laura to ensure we were starting off on the right path. I was very impressed with his ability to listen to what we wanted and value the advice he gave.

Rev. Bermudez and his wife did a fantastic job. He was recommended by a friend of mine whose wedding I had previously attended. The ceremony was not only personal and heartful but entertaining and even funny at parts. Many of our guest commented that it was their favortite wedding ceremony in recent memory, mainly due to how personal it was and how it perfectly reflected us as a couple.

Reverend Bermudez was one of the few officiants we could find for our bilingual ceremony. You can tell he has been doing this a long time and was very flexible to what we wanted.

Reverend Bermudez was courteous and prompt, with good communications and planning. He provided an excellent custom-written Christian service in English and Spanish. He was on time, and both he and his wife were very helpful before and during the ceremony. He filed our paperwork immediately and provided an extra special copy of our wedding vows suitable for framing. Rev. Bermudez was especially patient and kind during the many changes brought about by bad weather to our outdoor wedding...thank you sir!

He was very informative and thorough. He did allow us to make changes to the vows, but sent an irritated reply. The ceremony was short and sweet, which is what we wanted. My husband said the officiant made comments to him while I was walking down the aisle.

Rev Bermudez was a delight to work with. He was flexible and patient with us especially as we had a tight turn around of a wedding (we met with him with 2.5 half weeks left to go!) We had an interfaith, non denominational type ceremony and he was very accommodating in helping us personalize that. His voice carried in our large room and he was easy to hear. Best of all, he followed my wishes of helping me make the ceremony, short, sweet but memorable. I would highly recommend him for anyone else's ceremony.

Rev Bermudez was easy to work with, and we are glad we chose to use his services. We got many compliments from our guests on how lovely the ceremony was, and they specifically mentioned what a great job Rev Bermudez did. We aren't very religious, and didn't want a religious heavy ceremony, so he worked with us to create a ceremony that worked well for our preferences. He gives you many options to choose from, of things he can say, and makes the ceremony planning process extremely easy. His services were also a lot cheaper than many others I have researched, and he comes & runs the whole process with you during your rehearsal, the day before the wedding, which was a huge help. On his website, it says they appreciate it if you invite them to the rehearsal dinner, so they can get to know you and your family a little bit more before the wedding, but they don't expect you to invite them to the wedding. We invited him & his wife to the rehearsal, but weren't planning on having them to the wedding. They however assumed they were also invited to the wedding, so that made for an awkward scramble to try and find chairs, and room at a table to place them at. We felt bad about this situation, so just make sure you clarify with them which events they are coming to.

Overall we really liked the services provided by Rev. Bermudez and his wife and would used them again, however due to some poor communication and delayed responses we weren't always confident that things were under control.

I had the great pleasure to work with Reverend Bermudez and his lovely wife Laura a couple weekends ago. Both are very professional and have a knack for making everyone feel at ease. As a wedding planner, Laura was a great help to me. Due to unforeseen circumstances that I needed to deal with, Laura was a God send and oversaw the rehearsal and did a fantastic job. Traveling from out of state, the bride and groom did not know Reverend Bermudez beforehand. The minute they met him, they felt comfortable and was assured that he was the perfect one to perform their ceremony, and indeed was. I highly recommend Reverend Bermudez when choosing your officiant. He and his wife are great to work with and I was honored to work with them both and hope to again in the very near future.

All around a great husband and wife team that coordinates and performs lovely ceremonies!

Reverend Julian Bermudez is awesome to work with! He becomes apart of your family and the family of his clients. I have worked with him on several occassions with clients within the Washington, DC Metro area. Reverend Bermudez takes the time to work with clients by providing counseling services, and has an array of different ceremony types for clients to choose from or he customized a ceremony for you. Have a peace of mind knowing that your ceremony will be memorable when you have Reverend Bermudez as your officiant!

It is always great working with an officiant that knows how to not only hold true to the committment of joining two unions together but also an officiant who knows how bring the whole family and friends together in the support of the union making the day a joyous and fun occasion. It was such a pleasure in working with Rev. Bermudez and definitely recommend his services to all couples.

I had the pleasure of working with Rev. Bermudez in 2009 at a wedding in Virginia. He was absolutely professional. He did everything the couple wanted for their ceremony. His calm spirit soothes the butterflies couples may have. Also, I have worked several weddings with his wife Laura who is an absolute perfectionist. She knows weddings and that is why I love working with her. I've had the opportunity to work with many other wedding professionals, but they are the only husband and wife team that I will always recommend to do weddings.
