What the brides and grooms say

Allen's attention to detail and investment in our story really made our ceremony better than we could have ever imagined. He took the time to get to know us even from afar. He is kind, relaxed, jovial, and knows the Lord which was so important to us. His sense of humor throughout our ceremony made it even more fun! We were surrounded by howler monkeys in the middle of the jungle and Allen joked about it being like a scene from Jurassic Park which will stick with us for days to come! I feel like I've known him forever. He made us feel like we were the only couple in the world for our intimate ceremony and it was nothing short of perfection. Having Allen officiate the most important day of our lives was one of the best decisions we have ever made.

Our wedding was a dream come true & we all had a phenomenal time including our guests. Thanks again, & we are looking forward to revisiting beautiful Costa Rica in the near future :)

Hola Allen,

Just wanted to say thank you again for all your

help, patience and kindness in making our wedding

day so special.

- Christina and Rob

We were having difficulty finding someone to perform our ceremony in English and Spanish. We met with Allen and his friend in San Jose to put together a plan. The ceremony came off without a hitch and the Spanish translation was excellent. We thoroughly enjoyed our special day.​
