Hilda Iris Marin

My journey to becoming an ordained minister grew from more than 30 years of marriage and a deep appreciation for the moments that bring people together. Over the years, I have come to understand that love is something worth honoring, celebrating, and nurturing. Being part of life's meaningful celebrations brings me genuine joy. Becoming ordained gave me the opportunity to help couples and families mark those special moments in ways that feel personal, heartfelt, and true to who they are. For me, it is a privilege to stand beside people as they celebrate love, commitment, family, and new beginnings.

I am originally from Puerto Rico, and my heritage is an important part of who I am. I am proud to offer ceremonies in both English and Spanish.

My goal is to provide meaningful weddings, baptisms, blessings, and other ceremonies for people who want spiritual affirmation without feeling restricted by traditional religious requirements. I believe life's most important moments should be honored in a way that reflects each person's beliefs, values, culture, and story.

I was raised as a devout Catholic, but over time my personal beliefs have evolved, and today I consider myself spiritual. At the heart of my beliefs are humanity, compassion, love, and respect for others. I welcome people from all backgrounds and believe everyone deserves to have life's meaningful moments celebrated with dignity and care.

After more than 30 years of marriage to a neurodivergent man, I understand that lasting relationships are not about perfection. They are built through love, patience, communication, understanding, humor, compromise, and choosing one another again and again. I bring that perspective into every ceremony I create. I want couples to feel seen and heard, and I take the time to understand their personalities, their journey, and what makes their relationship uniquely theirs.

There is no one-size-fits-all approach to life's most meaningful moments. Every couple, family, and individual has a story, and I believe their ceremony should reflect it. Rather than providing a cookie-cutter service, I work with you to create a ceremony that feels personal, heartfelt, and true to who you are. Whether you prefer something traditional, spiritual, contemporary, or completely your own, my goal is to create an experience that feels genuinely meaningful. **Bilingual ceremonies are available in English and Spanish.
