A Stevi Hanson Wedding 
Rating: 5.0 (2 reviews)
  • Offers 9 ceremony types
  • Serves Bodega, CA

Your wedding ceremony is the heart of the day — the moment everything else orbits around. I’m Stevi Hanson, a California wedding officiant who specializes in personalized, story-based ceremonies across Napa Valley and Sonoma County. Whether your celebration unfolds among vineyard rows, beside a redwood grove, or in your own backyard, my role is to help you feel relaxed, connected, and completely present. Together, we’ll create a ceremony that’s warm, modern, and true to your voice — a moment that feels like you two, not a script someone else has read before.

Stevi was thorough, thoughtful and efficient. She helped make our wedding extremely personalized and was kind and flexible on our special day. We traveled across the country to get married therefore she met with us virtually and communicated via email to tie up all the loose ends leading up to the ceremony. She was such a great vibe and recommended an amazing photographer who acted as our witness. My husband started with a different wedding officiant who was less passionate about making our experience our own and the correspondence was not prompt. He then found Stevi and everything fell into place which resulted in the most lovely day.

  • Starts at $187
  • Serves Bodega, CA

Hola, I’m Ernesto (he/him/él), The Out Officiant! Ordained by the ULC, I began officiating in 2019 and bring heart, humor, and authenticity to every ceremony. As a gay Latino who’s been through wedding planning myself, I know how vital it is to feel seen and supported. I specialize in LGBTQ+, bilingual, and multicultural weddings, always inclusive, personalized, and stress-free. Based in El Cerrito, my fee varies by distance. Let’s create a ceremony that celebrates your love story!

Ernesto is an absolute joy of a human being to work with. Not only was he patient, kind, open in his communication, he also made a great effort during our initial meeting to make sure my husband and I were comfortable and he was the right fit for us (and he was!) He has such a talent for listening to your story and understanding your core values and writing a beautiful script based on conversation and small prompts. Every step of the way he’s also making sure everything is perfect, and is make sure any feedback or changes you want are met! He was prompt and on time not only to the wedding, but also to the rehearsal and walked through the whole process verifying every little detail is correct. We can’t thank him enough!

Shundo David Haye, Zen Priest 
Rating: 5.0 (4 reviews)
  • Offers 10 ceremony types
  • Starts at $400
  • Serves Bodega, CA

I have been a Zen Priest since 2009, and have been officiating weddings since 2011. To everything I do I bring fifteen years of residential zen training at San Francisco Zen Center, including five years of intense monastic training at Tassajara, and many silent retreats. As a wedding officiant I am proud to have performed many same-sex marriages, and many of the couples I have married have been multi-cultural. I am often asked to wear my Buddhist robes for the ceremony, but that is entirely up to the couple. Ceremonies have ranged in size from the couple, me and the photographer, to much more formal settings for up to two hundred people.

We were beyond thrilled with the incredible service provided by Shundo as our wedding officiant. From the moment we met, Shundo exuded warmth, professionalism, and an unwavering dedication to making our ceremony truly unforgettable. His ability to personalize every aspect of our ceremony was astounding. Shundo took the time to understand our story, our values, and what truly mattered to us as a couple. The result was a ceremony that felt uniquely tailored, deeply meaningful, and resonated with both us and our guests. Shundo's eloquence and presence during the ceremony were unparalleled. His words were beautifully crafted and delivered, weaving together humor, emotion, and heartfelt sentiments, which left everyone in attendance moved and touched. What stood out most was Shundo's calming presence. Amidst the whirlwind of emotions on our big day, their reassurance and guidance helped us stay grounded, allowing us to savor every moment of the ceremony. We cannot thank Shundo enough for playing such a pivotal role in our special day. His expertise, kindness, and genuine passion for what they do truly made our wedding ceremony an unforgettable experience. If you're looking for an officiant who goes above and beyond to create a ceremony that reflects your love story in the most magical way possible, Shundo is the absolute perfect choice. Thank you, Shundo, for making our wedding day an absolute dream come true!

Terry and Fabian were an absolute perfect fit for us and our vision for the wedding ceremony. Terry is experienced and when we talked about some of the complexities of our family’s needs and our own vision, she was able to make it come together better than I ever could’ve dreamed! She and Fabian even stepped in when the inevitable hiccups occurred before the ceremony. We mostly only brought in family and friends to work with us on our wedding, limiting the outside vendors. By the first meeting at brunch over bengients, they felt like family. We will forever be grateful that fate brought them to us and they were part of our special day. PS They also took a few special photos including the one here- it’s our favorite from that day!

I Do X Two 
Rating: 5.0 (5 reviews)
  • Offers 9 ceremony types
  • Starts at $400
  • Serves Bodega, CA for additional fees

I love working with couples to write a ceremony that is authentic to their love story and with all the details they envision. I've officiated estate-sized wine country weddings and those at the Ritz; to ceremonies in art galleries and country clubs, to shoreline and backyard elopements, and vow renewals at a family picnic or a restaurant--each one just as special as the other.

Saundra was recommended to us by our wedding planner and we were glad we choose her. We were looking for a more casual and non-religious officiant for our wedding and Saundra was more than willing to accommodate our preferences. Our first intro call was extremely informative. She laid out her process and her experiences with other couples and different types of weddings she's officiated in the past. It was clear she was an experienced officiant from the well-established process she had. Her communication was very effective. Her meetings were tailored toward new couples who have zero experience with weddings and she was always responsive to any questions we had through email or text. We received many compliments about the Ceremony that she officiated. Saundra had developed 90% of the script herself and personalized it based on our preferences. Her delivery and energy was less officiant-like and more casual/home-like which was what we were hoping for. I definitely would recommend Saundra as an officiant for any wedding. Her support and preparation for our wedding left no ambiguity during the ceremony.

Katherine Hunter Celebrant 
Rating: 5.0 (4 reviews)
  • Offers 9 ceremony types
  • Starts at $450
  • Serves Bodega, CA for additional fees

Katherine Hunter is a wedding officiant based in the Lehigh Valley of eastern Pennsylvania. She has specialized in custom, (mostly) non-religious wedding ceremonies since 2017. A long-time LGBTQ ally, she joyfully celebrates all love!

Choosing Katherine as our wedding officiant was one of the best decisions we made. She didn’t just officiate our wedding-she told our story with warmth, authenticity and heart. She took the time to truly know us, worked closely with us on every detail and encouraged us to shape the ceremony together. What she delivered was unforgettable. Guests still tell us it was the most personal and emotional ceremony they’ve ever experienced. There were tears even from the toughest guys in the room. Months later people are still talking about how moving it was. If you want a ceremony that people will remember forever, look no further.

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:)

Lawrence E. Adjah, MBA, M.Ed, M.Div. 
Rating: 5.0 (1 review)
  • Offers 8 ceremony types
  • Starts at $2,250
  • Serves Bodega, CA

Lawrence E. Adjah, MBA, M.Ed, M.Div. is a pastor, marriage counselor and best-selling author on relationships. Lawrence specializes in marriage counseling and one-on-one spiritual advisory. He approaches his guidance in a biblically based, structured, relatable, and systematic manner, with clear owned outcomes and next steps. Lawrence will guide you through the wedding planning process with warmth, intentionality and clarity. Lawrence offers a wide array of services to guide you through your wedding and beyond. He provides both wedding officiating services and vow renewals, as well as pre-marital counseling and ongoing marriage counseling.

My husband and I worked with Pastor Lawrence for a year of faith-based pre-marital counseling and had an amazing experience. We, like many couples, went into our first session thinking we’d already discussed the most important topics and we’d maybe need to do 3 formal pre-marital counseling sessions. Our first session was so impactful that we immediately decided that we wanted a full year of counseling. That decision, we believe, completely changed the trajectory of our marriage. Pastor Lawrence asked difficult, thought-provoking questions that helped us see our relationship (with each other and with God) in new ways, and each session left us feeling better equipped for marriage than we ever expected. His depth of knowledge, approachability, and ability to guide meaningful, relevant conversations aimed at aligning us as one—even when we thought we had nothing new to discuss—was truly a gift. We are so grateful for the wisdom and encouragement he poured into us throughout this process and would highly recommend him to any couple who is looking to build a strong, Christ-centered foundation going into their marriage.
