About Rev. Mercy Ceremonies: Bilingual Interspiritual Officiant
Creating and officiating unique ceremonies that follow your family's customs while honoring your spirituality, in both English and Spanish. So you've decided to skip the church service, and your family doesn't quite understand what a wedding outside the church means. They think it isn't going to be special or feel sacred. However, you and I both know that you do not need a church to sanctify a ritual that is about your love. Love itself is what blesses your wedding day. I'm here to tell you that your ceremony can take place outside of established institutions and still feel sacred to you. You can have the ceremony of your dreams while also pleasing your family and visitors. Hi, I'm Rev. Mercedes Ibarra, aka Rev. Mercy. I'm a bilingual Interspiritual Minister and Officiant based in Los Angeles, CA. I spent two years in Interfaith Seminary, learning about all the world's major faith traditions, and training to create ritual and ceremony based on that knowledge. I'm also a first-generation Cuban-American and proud Latinx. My parents raised me in Catholicism, but I now consider myself a neo-Pagan Buddhist, married to a Muslim-turned-atheist. I know how it is to forge a path that is different than what your parents expected from you. I also know how to bridge that gap. I can assist you in the following ways: - Create a ceremony that represents your personal ideals, your spirituality, and your love story. - Make your family and visitors feel at ease, appreciated, and valued. - Feel a new sense of calm and self-assurance in your spirituality. So, what are you waiting for? Let's work together to create the ceremony of your dreams!

FAQs 5
- Do you offer different packages?
- Yes, I offer three different packages, depending on whether you want to add a rehearsal and/or some premaritial/spiritual counseling sessions in addition to a ceremony custom-made just for you.
- It says you are bilingual in English and Spanish. How long have you been speaking Spanish?
- All my life. It was actually my first language. My parents are Cuban immigrants who almost 50 years later, still mainly speak Spanish. I spoke Spanish in my home all my life and I even lived in Spain for awhile, so I am comfortable writing and speaking in both languages.
- What is your pricing?
- Prices for my various packages range from $797 to $1497
- Do you charge extra for Spanish translation?
- No. Spanish translation is included in all my services, whether you only want partial translation to translation of the entire ceremony.
- What is included in the creation of the ceremony?
- Because I write custom ceremonies, I take time and care in the process, which includes a meeting so that I can get to know you and your partner, writing and providing drafts for your approval, assistance with writing your vows or writing the vows for you, and of course performing the ceremony.
