Weddings By Roxanne Hunt 
Rating: 5.0 (5 reviews)
  • Offers 9 ceremony types
  • Starts at $599
  • Serves Bakersfield, CA

I am passionate about officiating creative, soulful ceremonies about you and your relationship that also include a touch of fun. No template weddings here! I believe your ceremony should be about you - personal to your style and your story.

I can't say how grateful I am to Roxanne for officiating our wedding. She brought so much warmth and joy to the process from the very beginning. She made sure everything was buttoned up perfectly and made it all run as smoothly as you could dream of. She even managed to get some additional pictures from people who just happened to be walking past our ceremony! She ensured we felt special and were able to focus on each other and the moment rather then the logistics, and that meant the world to us.

Patrick is amazing! He made everything so enjoyable and easy. He definitely kept things fun but still professional, both in first meeting him and on the day of the ceremony/during the ceremony. It was all super detailed to us as a couple. He's a really good dude inside and out. Very respectful too. We love this guy!

Rachel didn't just read words—she captured the genuine love between me and my partner and wove it into a ceremony that felt completely ours.

Hi! My name is Anna Soco (she/her) and I'm the PNW's premiere Queer wedding officiant and believer in love. My work is rooted in the belief that love is alive, communal, and transformative - and because of that, your wedding ceremony should be, too! I work with soulmates of all kinds to create ceremonies that reflect what truly matters most to you. My clients (y'all!) are my "co" - each new client relationship is an opportunity to learn more about love, together. I adore, appreciate, and learn from each and every one of you. And I never quit rooting for my couples!

We chose Anna (Soco & Co) to officiate our wedding and couldn't have made a better decision! From our first conversation, we felt at ease because of her empathetic approach and genuine interest in getting to know us as a couple. She helped calm our nerves during the vow reading and helped make everything run smoothly. What really stood out was how she told our love story during the ceremony, it felt so authentic and heartfelt that several guests said they felt like she had known us for years. Her articulate delivery and engaging presence made the whole ceremony feel personal and special. We're forever grateful to have had her be such an important part of our day!

  • Serves Bakersfield, CA for additional fees

Your ceremony doesn't have to be "cookie cutter" or "run of the mill." I work with all my couples to present a ceremony that truly reflects your relationship. My goal is to ensure that you and your guests experience a meaningful and entertaining wedding ceremony to start your special day.

Pamela did an amazing job creating a meaningful ceremony for us on a short-time frame, was incredibly communicative, and altogether a wonderful officiant! She was very gracious with how scattered some of the planning went and made us both feel so comfortable, which meant the world as a young queer couple. Her presentation of the ceremony truly felt like it reflected us as a couple, and our family members who were in attendance were amazed that she had crafted a ceremony that felt so perfect to us just from talking on the phone with us a couple of times. Absolutely would recommend:)
