Recommendation - Charles & Carolina – February 20, 2010 (Karl Strauss, Sorrento Mesa)
Carlos prepared an absolutely stunning and elegant ceremony around our dreams, and it came off perfectly. Carlos, you made all of our guests decribe the ceremony as simply "Wow!!" and made our dreams of a great ceremony a reality. The phrasing, the delivery, the power of our wedding ceremony left us speachless (other than "I Do") and was by far the best wedding I have been to in years. Thank you so much for everything and for making our day so special! - Chuck & Carolina ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Recommendation - Fred and Cindy – January 10, 2010 (Ponte Winery, Temecula)
Pastor Sales,
Our wedding day was perfect! Thank you for superbly organizing the ceremony and walking each of us through our parts ahead of time. A rehearsal was definitely not needed because of your attention to detail. I really appreciate you scanning and emailing me the license and sending the original to the County. Very helpful!
When I get the photographs I will share with you our picture together. We were fortunate to have such a glorious January day as a backdrop. Again, thank you for a wonderful ceremony and for suggesting the wine ceremony, the special reading by my friend Lynne, and the pledge to the wedding guests. It made our ceremony especially memorable.
Recommendation - Nate and Jen – September 19, 2009 (Hilton Garden Inn, Carlsbad)
Thank you for making everything as painless as possible. The ceremony was absolutely amazing and looking back there is no one else that I would rather have performed the ceremony. We received many compliments and thanks again for making things so awesome and simple! We will highly recommend you to any couple getting married! Nat & Jen
We want to thank you, for making our wedding day perfect. When we first began planning our wedding, we were very anxious about the ceremony and were not sure where to even begin.

We will definitely recommend you to anyone we know that is getting married.

Recommendation - Chris & Nataeah – June 27, 2009 (Hotel del Coronado, Coronado Island)
"When we began searching for our wedding officiant, we wanted someone who was very professional, well spoken, and receptive to our desires for our dream wedding. Pastor Carlos was all of this and more. He crafted our program based on our input, and added enough of his own personality to produce a wonderful ceremony. He also made the process very easy and comfortable, which allowed us to pay our attention to all the other matters that are so time consuming when planning a wedding. Thank you Pastor Carlos for all your help in making our wedding day truly unforgettable!"
Recommendation - Mike & Lori – June 17, 2009 (Moonlight State Beach, Encinitas)
Dear Pastor Carlos,
Thank You for the lovely ceremony. It was very nice even though it was just the three of us.
Pastor Carlos did a lovely job of writing a ceremony and helping us pick a place. We are from Kansas and had never been to San Diego before. Talking on the phone and thru e-mails he helped us find a nice spot called Moonlight Beach. He still wrote a very nice ceremony even though there were no guests. He was very helpful and glad he was part of our special day.
Thank you again for all you did for us. God Bless You,

Pastor Carlos, Thank you so much for the inspirational and meaningful speech at our ceremony. You were personable, had a great sense of humor and were very easy to work with. From the first time Philippe and I have met you, we felt very comfortable and also confident that you will do a fantastic job at our wedding. We were not disappointed. Many of our friends and family have said what a beautiful ceremony you have created for us. The sand ceremony was perfect, it was truly a great experience to involve our parents in this special event.
We will cherish these memories forever. Thank you again for making our wedding ceremony personal and special. We would gladly recommend your services to any engaged couple.
Pastor Carlos did an amazing job of making our wedding a great and memorable one. Not only did he personalize the ceremony for us, but he provided many wonderful options for the ceremony that really made it our own. Highly recommended.
We and everyone attending loved the sand ceremony. The whole experience with you from beginning to end was exceptional.
Recommendation - Ben & Chelsea – May 12, 2009 (Hotel del Coronado Beach, Coronado)
Thanks Pastor Carlos! We had a wonderful time, and on top of that got tons of compliments on your pleasant and heartfelt delivery. I will definitely send you some pix when I get them from the photographer in a month or so, and will recommend you to anyone who asks! I'm so glad it all worked out for you to perform our ceremony. Have a great day, Chelsea
Recommendation - Sean & Tiffany – March 28, 2009 (Bernardo's Winery, San Diego)
Pastor Carlos,
Sean and I would like to thank you from the bottom of our hearts for being there and giving us a most memorable ceremony. Our families were both pleased and impressed with your services. You will always get our highest recommendations in the future.
Recommendation - Casey & Megan – Nov. 8, 2008 (Grande Colonial Hotel, La Jolla) Pastor Carlos helped to make our wedding perfect. He was willing to work with us even from a distance (we were in Northern California planning a wedding in San Diego). We spoke several times on the phone to discuss what we wanted to include in the wedding ceremony. Pastor Carlos provided information and ideas on how to make the ceremony beautiful and run smoothly. He proposed doing a sand ceremony, which turned out to be a wonderful addition to the ceremony. My entire family was extremely impressed with Pastor Carlos' professionalism, attention to detail, and wonderful presence in front of an audience! We strongly recommend Pastor Carlos Sales to anyone getting married.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Dear Carlos,
We were thrilled with the ceremony that you performed for Megan and Casey. It was perfect and blended all of our wishes. We appreciate your willingness to work with us and the bride and groom. As soon as we get some pictures we will send you one. I would be happy to recommend your services if you would like me to. The whole San Diego vendor group was wonderful to work with...big city professionalism with small town friendliness. What a fun experience! Take care and may all of your ceremonies go smoothly. Very sincerely,
Martha (Mother of the Bride)

“Pastor Carlos performed a beautiful ceremony for us. He was professional and prepared; and presented us with a detailed portfolio of options and ideas that we could choose from to incorporate into our ceremony which made it truly special and reflective of who we are as a couple. His presence at our ceremony helped to give that moment all the beauty and credibility I had hoped it would present to those who attended. I would highly recommend Pastor Carlos to anyone who is seeking and officiant who can give their wedding day all the special attention and honor that it deserves.”

Hi Pastor Carlos,
Thank you again for being part of our special day. I can not tell you how many people told us during the reception, as well as afterwards, how amazing and beautiful the ceremony itself was. You did an amazing job at the ceremony and both Kathleen and I truly appreciate how special you made our ceremony. Thanks again for everything!
God bless,

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Recommendation - Paul & Hanan - June 29, 2008 (HeislerPark Gazebo, Laguna Beach)
Dear Pastor Carlos,
While Paul and I had never met you in person, our telephone conversations and e-mail exchanges really helped us feel like friends. We are both so grateful that God led us to your website. The ceremony you orchestrated was absolutely beautiful. Your sincerity and dedication to God and your calling were so evident throughout the entire ceremony. We received many compliments on the calm and loving style with which you delivered God's message on marriage. The ceremony was exactly as you had explained to us and as we had pictured in our minds and hearts. I am attaching some pictures of the ceremony which were taken by my sister. I will send you some of the ones the photographer took when they are done. I hope that you keep in touch and look us up if you are ever in the Chicago area.
God Bless you and your family,
Hanan and Paul

Pastor Carlos,
Thanks for a great ceremony. We had a blast as well, and were glad you were a part of it. You were great, kept it low key and casual.
We would definitely recommend Pastor Carlos to be involved with anyone’s special day. He took the time to get to know us ahead of time and took us through some counseling which was great. Thank you so much!!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Recommendation - Chris & Danielle - June 21, 2008 (Surf and Sand Resort, Laguna Beach)
Pastor Carlos made our wedding day run very smoothly with his professionalism and warmth. Coming in from out of town, and never having met him, we were truly impressed with him during our ceremony, having known us such a short time. His caring words provided a day that we will never forget. We would recommend him to anyone!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Recommendation - Gary & Stephie - June 14, 2008 (Hacienda De Vega, Escondido)
Hello Carlos :-)
WOW! What a beautiful service.... We are happy you chose to help us and be there. You made me smile. All I wanted was the Lord's blessing on our marriage and some nice photos. You are truly a man passionate in doing the will of Our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ; it shows. I am not sure how to explain the feelings of June 14th except to say "Where Two or more are gathered together in his name, he is in the midst". This was absolutely true..... Guests (both men and women) were overwhelmed and teary eyed. Funny, they had no idea why. I LOVE IT!!! I believe we have received the blessing I requested, but I have NO photo with our wonderful pastor. I was terribly disappointed.
Gary, consoled me by reminding me that we will never forget that day or allow your visual presence there diminish.
Thank you so very much... We do hope to see you again soon.
Our best to you and yours,
Stephie

Dear Pastor Carlos,
Thank you so much for officiating our wedding on Sunday. It was such a beautiful service. We got so many compliments on how you included our daughter. It was so special. I am sad that I did not have it video taped.
We would like to send you a nice thank you, so I was wondering if I could get your address. Thank you again for everything. We are so extremely happy with the way the ceremony turned out!
Recommendation - John & Carina – May 17, 2008 (Castle Creek Golf Resort, Valley Center)
Pastor Carlos Sales is the best! He created a unique, original, and personal wedding for my husband and I who were married last May. Pastor Carlos committed his time to meeting with us to ensure he got to know us both as a couple and also as individuals. He spoke to us about our family, community, dreams and our future. We don't go to church regularly, but wanted a wedding ceremony that was spiritual, but not too religious. Pastor Carlos completely respected our wishes and wrote us a personalized wedding ceremony. He also recommended a GREAT florist to help us decorate our wedding. In addition, we had many people tell us that he was the best wedding officiant they had seen perform a wedding. I highly recommend him to anyone wanting an extraordinary wedding ceremony experience. Youʼll see for yourself that his friendly, flexible, and caring personality reflects in his work and also establishes a trustworthy bond between the couple and himself. He is a great man and a great Pastor. We feel so blessed to have had him apart of our special day.
Recommendation - Michael & Kristine - May 10, 2008 (Falkner Winery, Temecula)
Hello Pastor Carlos,
I just wanted to take moment to thank you be being a part of our special day! Everything was perfect and ran smooth. I really do appreciate all that you have done. Hope all is well with you and your family!
Take care!
Kristine

"From the first step in the planning process, Pastor Carlos was there for us. He provided guidance in our decision making about how to make the ceremony special. He helped to make our day flawless!"
We want to thank you so much for a beautiful ceremony- you made our wedding day sooooo special- it couldn¹t have been any better.
Again, we feel truly blessed to have been led to you. You made the happiest day of our lives perfect. And the whole sand thing- it's amazing that you knew to say something about having sand and then for us to find out that they shorted us a bag!! God is amazing! The whole day turned out perfect.
Carlos had been a dear friend of mine for many years before my wedding day, so I especially wanted him to perform our ceremony. He is one of the most personal, warm-hearted, kind, and diligent men I know. His love for God and people really shows through when he officiates at special services of all kinds. It certainly did at ours. And he has a great sense of humor. I recommend him with confidence that he will do a great job. Pastor Bob & Caroline
