Overview

Inicio Ceremonies offers warm, personalized wedding officiant services in English and Spanish for couples who want a meaningful and memorable ceremony. As a Christian Minister who can also provide non-religious services, I work with each couple to design a ceremony that reflects their story, values, and traditions. Whether your wedding is at home, a small venue, or a large celebration, I bring professionalism, care, and a calming presence. I can officiate bilingually or fully in English or Spanish, and can include an interpreter if needed. With 20 years of community service experience I am committed to creating ceremonies that honor love, family, and connection.

Wedding Ceremony

I found Ely weeks before my wedding, after deciding not to get married through a church. We were looking for someone who would marry us and include a couple of ceremony traditions that were important to us. After our first conversation with Ely, he made us feel extremely comfortable and used information from that meeting to use for our ceremony. He shared a script with us to review and approve in a timely manner, and our ceremony was amazing. We opted for a bilingual ceremony (English/Spanish), and I could not be happier with the outcome. He also handled mailing our marriage license document for us. I would refer him to family and friends for any event. Thank you again, Ely.

About

I believe weddings are about beginnings, inicios, and my role is to help you start your marriage with intention, love, and authenticity.

I’m a husband, a father, and someone deeply rooted in faith, family, and community. For many years, I’ve had the honor of walking alongside people during some of the most meaningful moments of their lives, helping them mark transitions, make commitments, and step into new chapters with clarity and purpose. That same care and presence is what I bring to every ceremony I officiate.

I am an ordained Christian minister through Christian Global Outreach Ministries and am authorized to perform Christian religious ceremonies. At the same time, I proudly officiate non-religious ceremonies, always honoring your values and vision. Whether your ceremony is faith-centered, spiritual, or completely secular, my priority is that it feels true to you.

I currently serve in a leadership role at a Foundation, where my work centers on trust, equity, and helping people feel seen and respected—principles that guide how I approach each couple and ceremony. Outside of work, I am actively involved in leadership of my local Christian church and in raising my family, which continually reminds me of the beauty and responsibility of lifelong partnership.

I offer ceremonies in English, Spanish, or bilingually, and I can also provide a Spanish interpreter if desired. From intimate elopements at home to full celebrations, I work closely with couples to craft ceremonies that are personal, heartfelt, and memorable.

It would be an honor to stand with you on one of the most important days of your life and help you begin your marriage with meaning, joy, and love.
