Adai Veracruz
Licensed Professional
Hey there, my name is Adai Veracruz - I am a licensed Wedding Officiant and Travel Coach located in Las Vegas, Nevada. I have a passion for creativity and organization, I also have a love for event planning.
I am a mom, a wife, I love to travel and I like comedy. I love sports cars and art. Two things I (typically) can't go without are wifi and my daily organizer. lol! Fun fact (I Love Lucy), I'm a sucker for suspense movies and will binge watch pretty much anything with a suspenseful story line. My favorite music genre is smooth jazz and I am relaxed by the gentleness of butterflies.
I'm often asked how did I land in my profession. Well here's my story short and sweet. I believe that love is love, I am a proud believer of equality and that any two hearts who fall in love is so angelic! My wife and I were together for 6 years before the supreme court ruled equality for same sex couples here in Las Vegas back in 2014, it then granted us the opportunity to legally get married, so we did and were of the 1st 100 same sex couples to legally marry in Nevada. After this I always had the desire to be available for my community as an officiant, and to wed other same sex couples without judgement. I am proud of my LGBTQ community and relish sharing my story with other couples and their forever love. As for becoming a Travel Coach well, I have a passion for travel and being able to show others how to save money on their travel and, learn about different parts of the world has always intrigued me so I became a Coach to help others make their travel dreams become a reality as well.
I look forward to working with you soon!

FAQ
What is a wedding officiant? A person who officiates a wedding ceremony. Their responsibility is to receive and witness the consent of the intended spouse and to ensure the legal formalities, and hence the validity of the marriage or civil union, are observed.
Is a Marriage License required to be married in Nevada? Yes! It is every couples responsibility to obtain a valid Clark County State of Nevada Marriage License from the Marriage Bureau and present it along with ALL other pertinent documents to your officiant prior to day of ceremony. I CANNOT perform your wedding without it.
Where do we obtain our Marriage License in Nevada? 201 E Clark Ave Las Vegas, Nevada 89101 - 7 days a week 365 days per year please visit the following website for all the (know before you go) information. MLIC.Vegas (702) 671-0600
What forms of payment do you accept?My preferred method is to invoice you through Square or Paypal. However, I will also accept visa, mastercard, discover, amex and cash in person. I will NOT accept checks and will NOT accept payments the day of the wedding.
Do we need to sign an agreement? Yes. A signed agreement is required to reserve your date.
Will you perform a same-sex wedding? Absolutely! I fully support marriage equality no matter your race, religion, sexual orientation.
Where do you perform ceremonies? I am located in Las Vegas, Nevada. I can do wedding services locally in the Las Vegas Valley, including The Strip, Henderson, Pahrump, and North Las Vegas. The services I provide do not include facility rental, but I’ll be happy to recommend some facilities if you need assistance. There are many beautiful churches, hotels, country clubs, and outdoor locations to choose from in Southern Nevada.
How far in advance should we book you? I suggest 10-12 months. Good rule of thumb is as soon as your venue and date has been arranged, then book your officiant. Remember I am your MOST IMPORTANT VENDOR, so book me as early as you can.
Are we able to write our own vows or can we use ones you have? Of course, you may write your own vows! I strongly encourage you to incorporate your own personal vows into your wedding, I enjoy personal touches, or we can work together to combine some of the language I have into your own written vows.
Are there any hidden fees and is there a reservation retainer to reserve wedding date & time? NO HIDDEN FEES! Yes. You have the option to pay in full or make a 50% minimum retainer fee at the time of booking. The reservation retainer is applied toward the contracted wedding service package. If you only make the 50% minimum retainer the remaining balance is due 14 days prior to event.
Will you refund my retainer if my plans change? Whenever I receive a retainer, I block off that specified time for your wedding, and I don't accept other work at that time. Because I turn away other potential clients in order to preserve your date, retainers are not refunded and ineligible for refund after, even if the date is changed or the wedding cancelled for any reason; including acts of God, fire, strike and/or extreme weather.
Do we need a rehearsal? Many couples do find it helpful, especially if it's a large wedding, however your event coordinator will usually handle the rehearsal. If you would like me to attend the rehearsal, and I have the availability I would be happy to do so for an additional fee please the fees page.
Can we meet with you before we decide to hire you? I prefer to meet with every couple at least once before the ceremony. It is very important that you are comfortable with my services and this is why I offer a free-no-obligation initial consultation before you sign any contracts or enter any verbal agreements. This meeting allows us to become familiar with each other and to see if we "fit together". It also lets you tell me about your relationship and what you both see as your wedding vision.
How do I book your service? Once I receive your contact information I will give you a call to set up an informal meeting. If you would like to book your date with me at that time, I will need a non-refundable retainer fee of at least 50% of the selected ceremony service. This payment confirms your wedding date on my calendar. I will also have you both sign a contract. I will invoice you for the remainder of your package one month before your wedding. Final payment is due no later than 14 days before your wedding date.
Do we provide our own witness? Yes. Couples must provide at least one witness.
