My wife and I hired Rita to be our wedding officiant. We are so happy with our choice! She made us feel so comfortable and gave us the ceremony we really wanted, which was short and sweet! We got so many compliments after the ceremony was over saying how great she was and we couldn't agree more. We are so grateful! Thank you again, Rita!

We used Lamar Wedding Center for our wedding in 2009. In our move from NJ to FL, we lost our wedding pictures. 11 years later, we reached out to them, and they quickly found the pictures and posted them to a website for us to download and, if we choose, to have them re-printed. They made the process simple and easy, and they continue to be a joy to work with. The picture quality is stunning, even 11 years later. I strongly recommend using Lamar Wedding Center. They served us well on our wedding day, and continue to serve us well over a decade later!

Rita was our officiant in our very memorable wedding. She was not only our officiant, she also helped us with so much more to make our wedding a great success. We got married in a chartered boat that cruised around Manhattan and Rita helped us organize the entire venue. As our officiant, she was very professional, she also made the ceremony very personal for me and my husband. Overall she is the real deal! We would give her 10 stars if we could!

Going through the wedding process is not easy, Rita and her team made it very easy to get all your needs taken care of in one place. They are very professional and willing to work with you. It's clear they love this business and have been around for awhile. Their prices are very competitive and their packages offer a lot. Rita and the crew did a great job of keeping everyone on time the day of the wedding and still making time for wonderful photos. I was very pleased with them and have the most wonderful photos and wedding album to show for it. Don't think more about it and go with Lamar!

I just wanted to take this time and give a special thank you to the Lamar Wedding Center photography. They did an absolutely amazing job on my wedding pictures. Covid took an unexpected turn for a lot of us especially our brides and grooms that had to deal with many changes, disappointments and the Constant not knowing. Not only did Rita give me options to help me change the date of my wedding if I needed too but they were so sincere and professional about the whole situation.
We decided we were going for the wedding and we got married February 20, 2021. From the second the photographers walked in the house while we were getting ready to the end of the venue, ALL the pictures came out so unbelievably perfect. I feel like I just relived my wedding by looking at these pictures. Not only would I recommend using such a great company but I personally cannot wait to use them for any other event that may come my way. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for the beautiful pictures, the memories, and all the laughs in between. Love, Mr. & Mrs. Cruz

If you are looking for QUALITY, Professionalism, reasonable price and outstanding staff and service - look no further than Lamar Wedding Center. Our wedding was long distance. We live in PA but wanted a sunset beach wedding - Rita, Dana & Juan (our photographer) were outstanding. They were in contact with us ALL THE TIME. Juan was amazing - our pictures are so beautiful! A friend of mine got marry 3 months before me - she hired an extremely expensive photographer.
Let me tell you she has yet to pick up her pictures. It's been 4 years. When she saw her proofs - she cried - they were terrible. The photographer really didn't seem to care about the important small pictures - you know - the dress the bouquets, the girls getting ready before the ceremony. I had all of this - Juan had us laughing all day and my pictures are stunning. Please do not hesitate to hire Lamar Wedding Center - they really are THE BEST.
If you have any questions I'd be happy to answer them but you should really call Dana or Rita because they will explain everything and I promise you - you will have the best memories of your special day!
