My spiritual path has taken me through several religious traditions, and each one taught me something valuable about faith, community, and what brings people together. That journey sparked a lifelong curiosity and a genuine desire to learn from every belief system I encounter. Becoming ordained felt like the natural next step: a way to turn that openness into service. I believe every couple, family, and individual deserves a ceremony that reflects who they truly are, whatever their background or beliefs. As a bilingual minister (English and Spanish), I'm especially glad to help families bridge languages and traditions on the days that matter most to them.

Originally from Uruguay, I now live in Norwich, Connecticut, and serve couples and families throughout Connecticut and the surrounding area, including New York and Rhode Island.

I hope to create meaningful, personal ceremonies that people will remember for the rest of their lives. Whether it's a wedding, a vow renewal, a baby blessing, or a memorial, my goal is to honor each person's story, beliefs, and traditions with warmth and respect. As a bilingual minister, I especially want to serve families who need a ceremony in both English and Spanish, so that every guest, from grandparents to friends, can feel included and truly part of the moment.

I bring together three things that make each ceremony personal and memorable. First, more than 15 years in hospitality and guest relations taught me to listen carefully, stay calm under pressure, and make sure everyone feels welcome, which matters a lot on a day full of emotions and moving parts. Second, my own journey through different faiths gave me a deep respect for every tradition, so I can craft a ceremony that honors each couple's beliefs, whether religious, spiritual, or entirely secular. Third, I love writing and storytelling, and I put that into every ceremony: no generic scripts, but words built around the couple's own story. And as a bilingual officiant (English/Spanish) originally from Uruguay, I can bring both languages and cultures together so that every guest, from grandparents to friends, feels part of the moment.

I'm based in Norwich, Connecticut, right in the heart of the state's southeastern corner. I love officiating throughout New London County and the Connecticut shoreline, including Mystic, Stonington, Groton, New London, and Old Saybrook, as well as the area's resorts, vineyards, and waterfront venues. I'm also happy to travel to Hartford, New Haven, Rhode Island (including Westerly and Watch Hill), and New York. My background in hospitality means I'm comfortable working with venue staff and event coordinators to keep everything running smoothly. Travel within 30 miles of Norwich is included; for longer distances, a small travel fee may apply.

I offer a wide range of ceremonies, including weddings, elopements, courthouse-style signings, vow renewals, baby blessings, and memorial services. Every ceremony can be performed in English, Spanish, or bilingually. I'm happy to help couples write their vows, choose readings, and include unity rituals such as candle, sand, or handfasting ceremonies, as well as Latin traditions like las arras and el lazo. I'll guide you through the marriage license process and make sure everything is completed and returned on time, so you can focus on enjoying your day. Whether it's a large celebration or an intimate moment with just two witnesses, I'll make it meaningful. I'm based in Norwich, CT, and travel throughout Connecticut, New York, and Rhode Island.
