Who we are

Hello!

My name is Martha Bautista, and I would be truly honored to serve as your wedding officiant.

I am an ordained, non-denominational minister based in Iowa, proudly serving couples of all faiths, backgrounds, and orientations across Central Iowa. Since becoming ordained in 2022, I have absolutely loved helping couples celebrate one of the most romantic and meaningful days of their lives. I quickly fell in love with working closely with couples, learning their stories, and crafting personalized wedding scripts that beautifully capture their unique journeys and the future they are building together.

My goal as your officiant is to make your ceremony truly yours—reflecting your love story, values, and the details that matter most to you. Whether you envision a simple, intimate elopement or a ceremony rich in tradition, spirituality, humor, or formality, I will work closely with you to create a ceremony that feels authentic and meaningful. Your wedding day should be a joyful, memorable reflection of your commitment to one another.

I believe every couple deserves a ceremony that honors their journey and the true essence of marriage: uniting two people in love, trust, and shared hope for a beautiful future together. I am dedicated to providing clear, prompt communication throughout the planning process, ensuring your date is secured and that you feel supported every step of the way so your ceremony is nothing short of perfect.

When I’m not officiating weddings, you’ll find me spending time with my husband and our family, enjoying camping, boating, cooking, crafting, or simply relaxing together. Family is at the heart of everything I do, and it is a privilege to help couples begin their own journey into married life with warmth and intention.

I look forward to the opportunity to work with you to create a ceremony that is truly yours and a day you will never forget.
