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!

WOW! Stop looking and book them now. We booked their photography services. We had a Covid wedding that was postponed a few times, and Lamar Wedding center was so responsive and understanding! Every person we dealt with was so kind and helpful. Rita, the owner was so thorough, Dana in the office was a pleasure, and our photographer, Katerina was incredible! Katerina made the day so stress-free and easy.
She lead the photo sessions and told us what to do and where to stand, yet all the pictures came out so natural. She kept to our timeline so well and was so kind and polite. She went above and beyond. What I loved was that she followed us as we greeted each table and we got so many pictures with groups of guests, how special! She also worked so well with our videographer from another company.
I couldn't be more pleased with the way the photos came out! We got access to them digitally soon after our wedding and the album/print ordering process was a breeze. The quality of the pictures was incredible and there were over 1,000. We didn't get to meet our photographer until the day of, and that worried me at first, but in the end, it didn't matter at all. Katerina captured our day in a timeless way!
The pictures are bright and airy and perfect! Thank you Lamar Wedding Center for capturing our day so well and making the wedding planning process SO easy! I can't say enough about this company! I highly recommend using them for your wedding needs. They actually care about their customers!

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 and her team are amazing! I am so happy we chose to book our wedding DJ, florist, officiant and photography with them. They only use highly rated vendors so you will be getting the best services! Rita and Dana were very helpful and responded to all of my many questions in a timely manor. Rita officiated our wedding ceremony and did a great job, she made it fun and meaningful which helped keep us both relaxed during our vows.
We had many people compliment us on what a great job she did for our ceremony. Our photographers were wonderful, Rita was also our second photographer. It seemed like our venue had a timeline of their own that they expected everyone to follow so they were rushing the photographers but Rita and her team did an excellent job making sure to capture all of the photos regardless of being rushed. Rita photographed the guys while the girls were getting ready, and I cannot wait to see those pictures, my husband keeps telling me Rita got a lot of fun pictures with them.
Our DJ was George from horizon productions, he did a great job, discussed details with us several times to make sure everything was perfect, everyone was dancing and had a great time all night! Our flowers were provided from Lodi florist, I was hesitant at first because they don't do a demo arraignment for you to see what your getting, but I provided them with many pictures of what we liked and they came up with beautiful arraignments! Rita and her team are truly amazing, I was hesitant to book everything with a one stop shop but we could not have made a better choice. We can't wait to see our pictures and to relive the best day of our lives. Thank you so much!

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!

Rita of Lamar Wedding Center was my wedding officiant. She was recommended to me. And she was fantastic! We had a couple of meetings before the wedding day where she explained everything. So organized and detailed. She had various options of what to say during the ceremony. And she made it very personal. She made me feel so calm on my wedding day.
My ceremony was only 8 people and we all felt like Rita was part of the family. The price was reasonable, and she was very professional. She had all the paper work ready and basically "ran the show" with ease. Highly recommend Rita!

I usually don't do many reviews, but since Rita and her team was so fantastic, I had to let others know. Rita has been an excellent addition to our wedding ever since we met her over a year ago. My fiance and I had to change our wedding date 3 times due to COVID and each time Rita could not have been more accommodating. She had consistent communication and allowed us to set up an appropriate paying plan.
On Sunday, Rita was finally able to officiate our smaller, socially distant outdoor wedding, and she did an excellent job! All of our guests were extremely impressed with her and the photographer she brought. We were on strict time frame and both women kept us on schedule, but still allowed everyone to have a great time. If you are looking for someone to officiate your wedding, or looking for a photographer that will bring value to your big day, definitely look into Lamar Wedding Center.

What a great idea! A one stop wedding shop. This little gem is a rare find and will save you tons of time and money. I couldn't believe how great the people are at Lamar. Rita is so genuine, likeable and. caring, you could not pick a better person to officiate at your wedding! Love the addition of the Collette Marie jewelry too. It is stunning and surprisingly affordable for one of a kind- artist designed pieces. Well done!

I just got my wedding video, and all I can say is WOW! Rita, your team did an amazing job of capturing every moment of our wedding. Even my now husband lightly rubbing my hand at the alter. It was edited so beautifully, I can't even begin to thank you. All bride-to-be's need to check our Lamar! You will not be disappointed! Rita, thank you for letting me re-live the best day of my life! I can't wait for my album!
