Aaron was fantastic for my wife and I. We had him do pre-marital counseling as well as being our officiant, and his flexibility with our work/travel schedules is what made it work and kept our stress levels down. Aaron is happy to hear any suggestions and adapt to whatever services you need for your special day. Loved his advice, and enjoyed meeting and getting to know him and his wife. More...

We are so happy that we chose Pastor Aaron to officiate our wedding!! I didn't realize how stressful and overwhelming it can be to plan a wedding. We got around to choosing our Pastor at the last minute. Lucky for us, we found Pastor Aaron on Wedding Wire. After seeing his pictures and reading his reviews, we knew we had found the right officiant. We emailed Aaron and set up a meeting right away. The wedding was only two months away so we are getting nervous. He was able to keep us calm and ensured us that he would handle everything. We met several times over the next few weeks. During this time he learned a lot about us. He was able to use the information that he gathered to make our wedding ceremony special! He exceeded our expectations. We are so happy with Pastor Aaron.

My husband and I are so happy we chose Pastor Aaron to officiate our wedding. Our ceremony was exactly what we were looking for, it celebrated our relationship and was respectful of our Eastern and Western cultures. Pastor Aaron really allowed us to customize our ceremony and wanted to meet with us twice to have the ceremony be perfect. He and his wife work as a team and are very responsive to emails. They are also both extremely nice people. We chose to have a sand ceremony within our wedding and Pastor Aaron and his wife gave us the sealed sand and container as a gift.

Pastor Aaron officiated my 4/9/2016 wedding. He and his wife Patria were wonderful to work with. Both very attentive to our needs and ideas. We were originally planning a catholic ceremony but started to get really frustrated with the process so last minute, we did a 180 and decided we needed to go a different direction. Pastor Aaron was very responsive in replying- we actually met up a day or two later in a coffee shop to discuss our needs and what we were looking for (which we didn't really know what that was at the time). After meeting, it was a very easy decision to make, we really liked how genuine and helpful he and his wife were. They put us at ease and gave us some direction and some ideas for our ceremony. It was lovely. All in all, they was such a pleasure to work with and I wouldn't change a thing about our ceremony. I would highly recommend him to anyone. More...

Pastor Aaron was the perfect officiant for our wedding and did an outstanding job from start to finish. He met with us twice before the wedding to ensure we were all on the same page and that he understood all of his wishes. He kept email correspondence the entire length of the process and met all of our needs. He showed up for the rehearsal (at no extra charge) to walk through the ceremony and calm our nerves. The day of the wedding, he showed up early to talk with each of us before the actual ceremony. The ceremony went flawlessly and the sand ceremony was perfect. He even capped the sand and gave it to us as our wedding present. He does a fantastic job and works with you through the entire process! More...

Aaron and his wife are an absolute blessing to have around when it comes to wedding chaos! They both made things seem a little easier when it came to the planning by helping in any way possible. They both attended the rehearsal and Patricia actually participated as a stand in for someone who could not make it! Aaron is very flexible when it comes to any and all detail of the ceremony! I could not have imagined having anyone else help celebrate and join us together as man and wife!! They were willing to meet with us on several different occasions to get minor details down and we usually ended up sitting and chatting for an hour or so about anything and everything! I would highly recommend him and even suggest that you get to know them early on as they are very good and kind people!! Thanks so much for marrying my husband and I! If I had to do it all over again there would be no second guess when it came to an officiant--Pastor Aaron Woodrum every time!! More...

Mr. Woodrum was such a wonderful officiant to work with! I kept coming back to his services after "shopping around" because his professionalism and kind spirit really made me feel at ease. Planning our destination wedding was no easy task when you don't speak the language or know your way around but Aaron was there every step of the way. He kept in constant contact with me, provided me with lots of great information and tailored our ceremony exactly how we imagined it! He even made the trip across the island to perform our ceremony & showed up with a smile on his face that put me (the bride) instantly at ease as this was my first time even meeting him! All of my guests raved about him and had wonderful things to say about him as well. He kept us from being nervous, made everyone laugh, dressed exactly how I suggested for our casual theme, and just overall did an AMAZING job. I truly could not imagine anyone being better for the task! He even added in a bonus to the sand ceremony he offered us by allowing my son to step in and hold the vessel for my new husband & I to pour the sand into. Adding this special touch really meant alot to our little family of 3, being able to include my son made the day that much more special! FIVE STARS!! I highly recommend you save yourself the time and choose to work with him NOW! :) Thanks again Aaron, for making our day extra special!! More...

Aaron was GREAT - we met with him beforehand for a short get-to-know-you session, and then he came up with a beautiful ceremony that EVERYONE loved, it was very meaningful but not overly long or drawn out. He also provided all the things we needed for our sand ceremony and then sealed it up with wax - and he provided the official wedding paperwork that we wanted, even though we were already officially married.

Happy thoughts: from connecting with Aaron over e-mail to a Skype meeting to finally meeting us in person and taking us through the feel of the ceremony and what we wanted included in the ceremony itself. Aaron made the registration process easy, talked us through our nerves, and along with his wife Patria provided us with a beautiful ceremony in both English and Spanish that made our family and friends feel included and important as part of our special day and our married life ahead. Aaron encouraged me with a poem when I was stressed a week before the wedding, and he and Patria gave me words of encouragement following the ceremony. They became part of our circle of family and friends. Thank you Aaron for providing us with a ceremony that touched us and our guests and that we will remember for the rest of our lives. More...

Where do I even begin Minister Aaron was extremely helpful and went above and beyond what I expected. I did not arrive in Puerto Rico until the wee hours of Friday morning and my wedding was the following day. He took care of everything:picked us up and took us to meet with the lawyer and to the office of demographics. He also came to the rehearsal and ran through the wedding program and made sure everyone knew what they were to do the day of the wedding. He was extremely patient and helpful. He was very flexible, respectful, and even embraced of our family's Nigerian culture. More...

Aaron was such a pleasure to work with. Aaron's easy going personality is reflective of the Puerto Rico destination.
Aaron met our requets of a sand ceromony and providing us with a wedding certificate as he performed a symbolic ceremony for us. Aaron takes the time to meet with the couple prior to the ceremony so that he can trully get to know you as a couple before your big day. He takes the time to understand what type of ceremony you expect (even inquires about what attire you will want him to wear).
Aaron and his wife (and their children) made our rainy day wedding a memorable moment that we will always have many laughs about (Aaron, you know what we mean). More...

As a minister, we truly appreciated your humor during the ceremony. It helped to keep the mood light and to keep me from crying, so that was a plus.

The customization really made the difference and made our day even more special.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart and from Erik's too!

Aaron was fantastic as an offiiant! We live in New York, and he made planning from afar easy. We stayed in contact via email, and he was very responsive to emails. He gave us ideas for the ceremony as we weren't sure of everything we should include. He let us tailor the ceremony to our likings. We were able to meet the day before the wedding and talk in order to get to know each other. It was really nice for him to have some perspective on my husband and I's story. It made it more personal. He is very flexible and easy going. He will do ANYTHING to help you get the ceremony that you want. I would highly recommend him as an officiant! More...

Arron was our wedding officiant for our October wedding in Condado. He helped us out on short notice and even met with us the day before the wedding to get to know us, which was great because he then incorporated some personal bits about us in the ceremony. Also, he provided a conch shell which was blown at the end of our vows and for our kiss. This was the perfect touch for our beach themed wedding. Arron also performed a unique "sand ceremony" for us which also perfectly tied into our theme! My husband and I highly recommend Arron's services. It was a beautiful ceremony!! More...
