“Joe did such a wonderful job officiating our wedding in Laguna Beach. He created exactly the ceremony we imagined—religious without feeling overly religious, romantic, and beautifully bilingual in English and Spanish. We also loved that he incorporated the lasso and arras traditions. Everything felt personal, meaningful, and true to us. We couldn’t have asked for a better ceremony!”

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.

“Initially, I wanted a friend to officiate our wedding, but my mom is very traditional and really pushed for a professional — and I am SO glad she did because Roxanne curated the most special ceremony I could have ever imagined. I come from a Christian background, and my husband comes from a Jewish background, and neither of us wanted a religious ceremony — but it was important to us to honor both of our families and backgrounds. Roxanne did that so seamlessly and beautifully. She created a ceremony that felt thoughtful, inclusive, and deeply personal without ever feeling religious or performative. She met with us in person, truly took the time to get to know us, and guided us through writing our vows. So many people told us afterward that our vows were some of the best they had ever heard at a wedding — and we owe that entirely to Roxanne’s care and guidance!! I never really dreamed of having a wedding but always wanted a party but we wanted to do a ceremony for the tradition of it and for our parents - but it ended up being my favorite part of the entire day!! Roxanne officiated a ceremony that felt intimate, emotional, and joyful all at once. She is an absolute pro in every sense of the word - she looked beautiful, knew exactly when to step out of frame for photos, and had an incredible instinct for when to bring laughter, when to bring tears, and how to make us feel completely comfortable and present in such a big moment. She grounded us, supported us, and made the ceremony feel effortless. There is truly no one who could have done a better job. I am forever grateful that Roxanne was the one who married us, and I cannot recommend her highly enough.”

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!”

“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:)”
