Me and my husband are both amazed by Reverend Lubong. He is kind, patient, smart, and communicative during our planning process. During the ceremony, he is eloquent, entertaining, and knowledgeable! We love that he gave us homework, our ceremony felt personal as he added details with our history as a couple. Also, he is the perfect fit for what we're looking for - someone who can guide us and incorporate Filipino wedding traditions. We are so happy Reverend Lubong is our wedding officiant. No wonder he keeps getting 5 star reviews here on yelp. 10/10 highly recommend! Thank you for accepting our wedding date and especially our location, Reverend. It meant a lot to us. Our wedding is extra special with you there! -Mara and Nate read more

We're so happy we chose Mauricio! From the start, he was warm, genuine, and made us feel completely comfortable sharing our story with him. On the wedding day, he recalled how we met and our proposal, beautifully painting the story of how our love began and creating a truly loving atmosphere throughout the ceremony. We really enjoyed working with him--he encouraged us to stay present, reminded us that our marriage is the true priority, and helped keep us grounded. We were honored to have him marry us, and we appreciated that he even mailed in our marriage license afterward. It also meant a lot to have a Filipino officiant, since I'm Filipino, and we wanted to represent that part of my culture. He did that with grace and it was incredibly meaningful to us. We're so grateful for the kindness he brought to our ceremony and made our day even more special! read more

From the very first time I spoke with Reverend Mauricio Lubong, I knew he was the perfect officiant for our wedding. Not only did he sound incredibly kind, but it was clear that he genuinely loves what he does. The best part of our experience was how personalized he made our ceremony. He had both my husband and me fill out separate questionnaires so that he could get to know us individually, which allowed him to create a ceremony that truly reflected who we are. The result was a heartfelt, emotional ceremony that we will treasure forever. It was a moment we'll never forget, and we are so grateful to Reverend Mauricio for making our wedding day so special. read more

Rev. Lubong was a great to work with, and was fantastic when officiating our wedding! We appreciated that he really tries to get to know you and your story, especially through the lens of each individual. He's a funny guy, and all our guests found his ceremony to be informative, touching, and entertaining. We incorporated some Filipino traditions into our wedding, and he explained and led us through those with expertise. Even when there were some hiccups in the ceremony, he was able to smoothly transition and keep the flow going. He's fairly responsive, even when he's busy with other weddings, and we usually received responses within a day or two. Rev. Lubong is a joy to work with - he helps you focus on the important things throughout all the flurry of planning and events leading up to and including the wedding day, and he smoothly guides the wedding ceremony itself. Rev. Lubong helped make our special day happen, and I highly recommend him for yours as well! read more

I think it was fate that we found Mauricio. I was struggling so much to trying to please everyone else but myself and he reminded me that it was my wedding. Culturally, he understood where I was coming from and really made me feel comfortable venting to him. I knew instantly that I wanted him to officiate our wedding. He has this presence about him that is very calming. He also was very responsive whenever I reached out with my million questions. I loved that he had us do a homework assignment. It really help us focus on our love and why we were marrying each other. We were so busy with life, work, and wedding planning and this activity pushed us to center ourselves as our wedding day was quickly approaching. He also checked in before the wedding to work out the details. He is very attentive and remembers parts of our conversation that occurred several months before the big day. He made a few suggestions that would accommodate to our needs but also was inclusive of the needs of our family members. He was able to combine religion, Hawaiian, and our non-traditional/unique vibe to the ceremony. It was amazing! He is a great story teller and very animated. We are very sentimental and loved that he puts together a memory book with everything we've sent him in it. On the day of, he arrived early and was very patient with us when our schedule had to change due to the weather. We are so appreciative that he traveled all the way to us in San Diego. He is very affordable and accommodating especially with all the services he provides. It was great that he is a notary as well. Saved us so much time! He has made such a huge positive impact on making our day so special. We highly recommend Mauricio to officiate your wedding! read more

Antonio was great. Very positive and enjoyable experience. He was prompt, maintained professionalism while sharing some charm and personality to our ceremony. Very happy with our experience read more

We are so thrilled that we had Mauricio presiding over our ceremony. Since the first call, we felt such care and sincerity from Mauricio, as he really took the time to get to know us and our story. Through our responses to his thoughtful "homework" questions, Mauricio gave such a touching and personable service. It felt really special to have Mauricio recount how we met and our journey together since then while reminding us of the commitment we are making to each other. We opted for a non-denominational ceremony, but Mauricio still added a nice touch with the hand blessing, which fit well with the tone and theme that we wanted to set. His engaging and friendly demeanor really put us at ease that day, and our friends and family still comment on how well he spoke to our love for each other. It was also a bonus that Mauricio is a notary who issued our marriage license, so we were thankful to have that taken care of by him as well. We are incredibly fortunate to have had Mauricio officiate this important milestone of our relationship, and we will forever cherish the words shared by him and the gift of his warm presence. read more

It was a pleasure having Reverend Mauricio as our officiant for our wedding. He is such a stellar gentleman and takes officiating very seriously. He knows how to take a bad situation and make the most of it. We had an outdoor ceremony and none of us had imagined that we would be having a "tornado" sweeping us up on our wedding day. It was such a windy day and everybody was shivering but he was able to lighten up the mood and make everybody smile and laugh. There were some Filipino ceremonial rites that we had incorporated and one of them was lighting up a unity candle. Due to the strong winds, it made it impossible to light the candles up. As we were standing there watching this, we were wondering "how are we going to go forward with the candles?" Luckily, Reverend Mauricio is witty enough to save the moment. He does a great job improvising when something goes sideways. Not only is he witty, he gave a beautiful account of our stories which he compiled from the homework that he asked us to complete weeks earlier. He added several jokes throughout the ceremony which kept our guests entertained. Many guests afterward, were mentioning how funny he was and really liked how smooth the ceremony was despite the strong winds. 10/10 We recommend having the Mobile Reverend as your officiator. read more

I want to thank this minister for helping us for our vow renewal and his attentive personality to making the ceremony very pleasant. I will recommend coming here for a cozy event. Parking is downstairs and there is enough if you have a large party. What is cool also is that we had her parents attend and they only speak Spanish so he was able to translate as well. God bless you sir!!! read more

Mauricio was great! He did our ceremony in English and Spanish and was very well spoken, organized, and funny. Made our ceremony feel very special! read more

What an incredible ceremony experience I had with Mauricio as our Officiant! Mauricio is a dear friend of mine I have known for about 5 years now and he is the only officiant I could ever imagine doing my wedding for my wife Gisel and I. We got married at Little Corona Del Mar in Orange County on 11/11/22 and it was incredible! Mauricio was able to deliver the marriage license to our reception venue in Newport Beach where we were getting ready for the ceremony and was even kind enough to drive me to the ceremony so I wouldn't see Gisel before the wedding. We planned out the ceremony a couple weeks prior with Mauricio as well as got the marriage license prepared a couple months prior to the ceremony so we didn't have to worry about anything on the wedding day. I also want to mention that because we got the marriage license delivered, we did NOT have to go to the county clerk's office and take a day off of work and wait in line. This is one thing that Mauricio can do for your wedding ceremony that most other officiants cannot and is honestly a life saver since there are a million other things you have to do to get married. Regarding the actual ceremony my wife and I had to separately fill out "homework" for Mauricio that he would incorporate into the ceremony that we wouldn't even know about until the day of the ceremony. This I thought was a perfect idea since he brought up things like how we met, what we did on the first date, special quirks about each other that only Gisel and I would know and it made the ceremony feel that much more special, personalized, and unique. We got married on the beach so Mauricio had a special voice enhancer that one of our guests wore around their neck so everyone including my hearing impaired mother could hear so she was very grateful. His kind words made us all laugh and made the ceremony that much more comfortable for everyone. Since it was a small wedding he was able to bring up something about each of our guests there during the ceremony which made them feel a part of it and special. Mauricio is the most genuine, humble, and nice human beings out there. If you do read this I really want you to consider everything I have said about him and what he can do for you when choosing an officiant. With him you cannot go wrong with ease of communication, preparation, and the overall performance of the ceremony. Thank you so much Mauricio!!!! Ian and Gisel McKelvie read more

Mauricio was not only impeccably professional and a joy to work with, but he always felt like a genuine kindred spirit, someone we were immediately able to connect with. Beyond an inherent reliability in him enjoying life in a distinctly similar "bon temps rouler" fashion, he was always open to our questions and felt like someone we could relay just about anything to. He was able to keep both of our nerves in check and made the actual vows a breeze to get through and as appropriately joyous as we were hoping. More than that, he was able to immediately fit in with our wedding parties and was a thrill to have him participate in the following celebration. We can't state enough how much we appreciated his professionalism, his sense of joy in life, and his meditative yet celebratory spirit. read more

We were expecting a run-of-the-mill, boilerplate wedding ceremony, which would have been just fine with us. But Mauricio went above and beyond to ask each of us (husband and wife) to tell our personal stories, and then incorporated elements of our stories in the ceremony to add a very personal touch. It made everything so much more special, and we heard from many who celebrated with us that it was a beautiful ceremony. Not only that, Mauricio's calm, warm demeanor instantly put us at ease, and we knew were in good hands from the get-go. I can't recommend him strongly enough. read more

I couldn't have asked for a better officiant to deliver our ceremony than Mauricio. When we planned, replanned, and replanned our wedding again due to COVID, Mauricio was nothing but accommodating, responsive, and attentive to our needs. On the day of our wedding, he was there to reassure us as our nerves started to get the better of us, and walk us through every step of the way for a smooth ceremony that was the perfect balance of personalization, humor, and intimacy. We got nothing but compliments from our guests afterwards for Mauricio's excellent service. If you're looking for an officiant, Mauricio is your man. He is fun, professional, reliable, and just exceeds expectations all around! read more

I'm so glad we had Mauricio as our officiant for our wedding. He was very helpful and responsive throughout the whole process. He definitely made us feel at ease. Everything was done through Mauricio - from officiating our wedding to applying for our marriage license. He also printed out our wedding program and our vows for us! We loved how he was able to incorporate the Filipino tradition into our ceremony as well. As Filipino Catholics, it was important for us to observe this as we had an outdoor wedding and this tradition is typically observed in a traditional Catholic wedding inside a church. Overall, we had a very pleasant experience with Mauricio. We definitely recommend him to anyone needing an officiant! Thank you Mauricio! read more

Gosh, where do we even start... We got pretty fortunate with our search for an officiant. Upon having stumbled on A. Mauricio through his website, my husband and I knew he was "the one." From our first meeting with him, he made us feel at ease. He was very patient, always thorough with his words, and was never in a rush. He really took the effort to get to know us! His approach in officiating is very unique as he really makes sure he gets to know the couple both as individuals and as partners. This is really important because it enables him to create a robust narrative of the couple's beautiful love story. All of our families LOVED hearing A. Mauricio tell our story during our wedding. That is probably THE most complimented item from that day. This is all due to A. Mauricio's creativity and dedication to making the wedding truly special. A lot of our friends and family felt his warmth throughout the ceremony, often noting how refreshing it was to finally NOT be bored to tears at a wedding! He kept everyone's attention with his warmth, genuine connection with the couple, and natural ability to engage an audience. This man is so special and so dear to us, we truly consider him a friend. He will always hold such a huge space in our hearts. All this is to say....we would probably get married again just to be able to hang out with Mauricio again! read more

My husband and I were married earlier this year and were lucky to find an officiant that was able to walk us through the process of creating a personal wedding ceremony that explored, reflected, discussed, expressed and celebrated us as a couple. Mauricio Lubong provided very helpful guidance to create a personalized ceremony. Mauricio was so easy to communicate with and, for a worthwhile fee, very helpful with filing our paperwork for the marriage license. I commend Mauricio on his above and beyond customer service that my husband and I experienced every step of the way, especially with the legal paperwork. If you're looking for an officiant who is friendly and knowledgeable, Mauricio Lubong is definitely an officiant to consider. Thank you again! read more

My now wife and I had no idea what to expect with officiants. We thought that they got a little bit of peoples' stories and plugged and played that into a largely generic speech that they copy pasted from wedding to wedding. Yet what we experienced with Mauricio helped me understand what a good officiant could be. We met once for around a half an hour to get to know each other and after he asked us a series of questions to elucidate more details about our relationship. Then based off of relatively minimal face time and a more personalized email, his speech was exactly what we hoped it would be: secular, relatively brief, and pretty humorous. Interpersonally, he made sure my wife and I felt comfortable up in front of everyone, and more importantly, ensured we knew what we were doing at all times. We are beyond grateful he facilitated the ceremony so beautifully and the added bonus was that he was a notary as well and helped make the marriage certificate process extremely convenient. For the more financially minded, pricing was a bit on the expensive side but definitely comparable to other officiants that we saw online and pretty cost effective relative to the amount of work we did. Very thankful for Mauricio! read more

Mauricio was an excellent officiant. He managed to make things as smooth as possible considering we were very nervous. He provided options and flexibility as well as very romantic options for our wedding day. On the day of our wedding he provided a ceremony that was just as we asked, short, sweet and romantic. We definitely loved the experience and it will be something we will remember and cherish for the rest of our lives. read more

Carlos and I were very lucky that we found A. Mauricio to officiate our wedding. We had great communication prior to our ceremony. He really took the time to get to know our story, and even our guests thought he was a long time friend of ours (now he is!). His personality is hands down the best! He's very welcoming and personable, and his ceremony was inspirational that resonated with where we're headed as a married couple. Every word truly spoke to us. We can't thank A. Mauricio enough for an amazing wedding ceremony. Even our guests were impressed by him (and his Spanish speaking skills). You'll too be lucky if you choose him as your officiant. -Lizelle & Carlos read more

Many thanks to our officiant, Mauricio, who went above and beyond to officiate our garden wedding ceremony in joining 2 people of different religions to be joined as one:) I first met Mauricio at another wedding which he officiated and was impressed by his personal touch and humor with the couple. It was the first time I had ever seen a ceremony where the couple faced the guests and the officiant spoke of them by telling their story as if he knew of their love from day one. I went on Yelp and contacted Mauricio as soon as I got engaged. I was so elated to know that he was able to arrange his schedule for our ceremony and was nice enough to meet us at our venue, about 6 months prior to our wedding date. He gave us an assignment of writing down how we met and telling him more about ourselves, but of each other and what we loved most about one another, almost similar to our vows. He also provided a form to fill out the processional order which helped in organizing how the wedding entourage was to be presented. I loved his personality and how it showed his genuine love for officiating couples which was evident through his smile and kind words. His calm and soothing voice was perfect for the ceremony, each word was attentively listened to and helped ease my nerves. He was also nice enough to print out our vows in a booklet which he had us read from during the ceremony, especially since it can be hard to focus and he can assist if we became too nervous. I highly recommend A. Mauricio Lubong for your wedding, he will make the whole process go by smoothly and make you and your partner feel special and supported. He will truly help you in beginning your beautiful "happily ever after"! Check out our wedding video teaser: https://vimeo.com/263285384 read more
