Description:

Greetings!

My name is Anna Castillo-Lora and I am a licensed wedding officiant, ordained minister, and certified couples coach. I offer bilingual services for English or Spanish-speaking couples and am experienced in overseeing a wide range of ceremonies including cultural weddings, religious ceremonies, non-religious events, same-sex marriages, and interfaith celebrations. I am available for weddings, elopements, vow-renewals, and can travel to your location or you can choose my location at The Elopement Room. Whether you desire a church wedding, beach-side nuptials, or a mountaintop ceremony, I am honored to be a part of your special day.

In addition to being an officiant, I am also a couples coach and can offer guidance on vital communication skills that are important for building healthy relationships. I encourage couples to be creative and make their day as unique as they are. My ultimate goal is to collaborate with you and create a personalized and meaningful ceremony.

As a Dominican-American, I am fluent in Spanish and can officiate your ceremony in Spanish or both English and Spanish. I am licensed to officiate civil weddings in Virginia, West Virginia, and New York.

I am a supporter of the LGBTQI+ community and provide a safe and inclusive space for all.
