Beware! This lady will say one price and give you a higher price 10min later. We originally agreed on a price and she changed it within 10min. A simple phone call translator was what I needed. Terrible service. Don’t waste your money.

This was my initial experience using Thumbtack to find a public notary who could travel to Mass General Hospital to sign the necessary documents. As a surgeon at Mass General, Milagros Cruz early in the morning. I needed a quick and convenient solution, given the limited hours of sleep I get due to work. While Mrs. Cruz did respond to my request, she only offers in-office appointments. Therefore, I had to choose another individual who met me at the hospital at 4:30 AM for $860. This allowed me to get the documents ready first thing in the morning for a property closing in New York on friday.
Our ceremony is coming up soon. The telephone conversation i had with Milagros was delightful.
I asked her if she can come an hour early or even 30min for some guidance. We had no wedding planner due to finances which she knew that when I hired her Feb 2023 for my wedding Oct 2023. She stated she would charge extra for even 30min! She failed to mention that she only comes for 15-20min and not for the ceremony that was scheduled for 2 hours. I chose her because my husband has Spanish speaking family. Unfortunately they cancelled last minute and it was too late for me to find a new officiant. As the photos below is the rude texting conversation the day of the wedding when she was constantly texting me why it hasn’t started and where is her money. As soon as I got to the stand for the ceremony I apologized for the timing. She behaved like nothing happened and she wasn’t just texting me demanding. She was very rude to me. I told my husband and he stated she was not acting that way to him. At the end when it was very busy she left. I messaged her and I asked when she needed the remaining money. She stated IMMEDIATELY all vendors get paid right then and there. This was our first wedding by the way so we didn’t know how things go but she knew I was doing everything on my own. We kept in contact briefly through the months leading up to the wedding. I debated if I wanted to write this review or let it be but I couldn’t get over the fact how she was so mean. I thought we had a good relationship. I also didn’t know her at all and my kindness for animals was taken for granted. I helped her on a personal matter which I didn’t have to and she completely disregarded it. I did it in the beginning for the animals to help her and I didn’t do it to be petty and expect something from it. Hopefully this doesn’t happen again to others because I was very upset by this situation on how much her behavior changed so quickly.
I can’t put this in words but it was just great! I contacted her just a couple of weeks before the wedding. With so many things in my head, I got to really have a meeting with her on the wedding's week. She was very patient, informative and lovely to me and my family. On the wedding day everything went smoothly and very nice. It was a small wedding at the lake but she delivered it all! Guiding us on what to do, making us feel comfortable and also translating to those who didn't speak English. I was amazed. I don't have all of the wedding pictures yet to post, the only one I got is this one. But, Thank you Milagros for making my day special with your kind words and all of your effort. Also big thank you for loving your job and doing it with such passion. I wish you success in your journey, and all the best! God bless you, Tifany and Gabriel
We had our wedding in larz anderson park in Brookline on Aug 6. Everything went very well. Milagros came on time for the ceremony but we came half an hour late and she was calmly waiting for us. Milagros solemnized our wedding in a professional and affectionate manner and everyone was very happy and delighted. We received our marriage certificate within 10 days. Milagros is a highly recommended justice of peace!
We decided to do our ceremony at Milagros’ office at La juez del Amor. We had a great experience and highly recommend Milagros. Thank you!
Milagros married my husband and I on the 22nd July, 2021. She was priced reasonably so we chose her. She kept asking us for a review but we failed to respond. To date Boston City Hall has yet to receive our certificate. When I contacted her initially she did not respond. Called her from an unknown phone got a response. First tried to tell me that the mail has been backed up for the last 20+ days and that she was not responsible for the mail. Then after threatening her with the review was told that our mail was obviously lost and she will call them to get a new certificate. Here is the review, this has been the most awful experience of our married lives. I don’t even know if we have to get married again. Yes you were very easy to talk to and the experience was pleasant but when you are paid to deliver a job you do it and do it well. You don’t have to beg for reviews. In fact we attempted multiple times to give you that review . The attempts were unsuccessful. I would not recommend you to anyone because I have lived in Boston for the last 20 years and mail that does not go where they are supposed to are returned. It simply points to poor business management. All important mail should be certified, you should have a tracking number. In essence we have paid you for a job not done. Poor business skills and zero degree of professionalism. Please note- it’s unprofessional to contact a client several times after a job has been done to ask for a review. Especially when the client has not been in full receipt of said services. This site does not allow me to give 0 stars.
We chose Milagros because of her 28 years of experience as well as having completed over 8,000 weddings. Upon our first discussion, she was warm and was accommodating to our busy schedule. She is professional, speaks from the heart and provides a questionnaire which helps couples understand how to plan their ceremony which may include loved ones to share (religious or non-religious) readings, a Union ceremony (to include mothers, etc.) and other options - all of which we didn’t know about initially and needed help navigating. We chose to write our own vows, but if needed, she also offers her help and support! Last month, we had an intimate ceremony with 32 of our loved ones and closest friends in Boston. Milagros gifted us with a beautiful ceremony which described our love and our story as well as shared wisdom with us to help prepare us for our next chapter and marriage together.
She did an amazing job to lead us to get married. She replied on time, so humble. So polite.
