We cannot say enough wonderful things about Julia, our incredible officiant for our wedding. From the very beginning, she took the time to truly understand our relationship and in such a short period, she somehow managed to capture our story, our personalities, and our connection as if she had known us for years. It was genuinely impressive. Julia brought the perfect blend of warmth, presence, and professionalism to our ceremony. Her energy was uplifting, her timing was flawless, and her sense of humor had everyone smiling and fully engaged. She struck that rare balance of heartfelt and lighthearted, making the moment feel deeply personal while keeping it relaxed and joyful. Our ceremony was everything we hoped it would be and more, and so much of that is because of Julia. She delivered an exceptional experience that we will never forget. We are truly grateful for her and would recommend her to anyone looking for an officiant who is thoughtful, genuine, and absolutely outstanding at what she does.

I'm Rev. Dr. Jeff Saville, (call me Jeff) a retired Navy chaplain with 26 yrs military service and real church pastor (not just ordained online). I can lead a highly customized & personalized wedding ceremony at a winery, golf club, beach, on a military base or in a hot air balloon! Or if you just need to be quickly/legally married very inexpensively, I do that too! When you contact me you will quickly receive detailed info, a sample but customizable ceremony, and offer times for a free consultation by videocall to answer questions about levels of service (Gold/Silver/Bronze), the fees, OPTIONAL Premarital Counseling and more!

Without a doubt, Jeff was the best investment we made for our wedding and for our marriage. With Jeff we invested in our marriage with his premarital coaching. Wedding planning can be stressful, and this coaching and relationship homework kept our minds on what was truly important. We met regularly with Jeff via video calls, and he graciously welcomed us into his home for our first coaching session and later for a ceremony rehearsal. The mini-rehearsal was incredibly helpful! He even taught us “the dip” at the end of the aisle, which we practiced together leading up to our big day. On the wedding day, Jeff arrived early, dressed to impress in an outfit of our choosing, and led the most beautiful ceremony. Multiple guests told us it was the best wedding ceremony they had ever witnessed. Personally, I felt an overwhelming sense of calm and joy on the morning of our wedding—something I truly believe was made possible by Jeff’s preparation, guidance, and genuine care. We are forever grateful.

I help create a simple yet beautiful choreography for an unforgettable wedding dance. In addition, as an experience public speaker, I offer officient services for a beautiful, personalized wedding ceremony.

From our first conversation with Ilona at Wedding Ceremonies & First Dance by Design, we knew we had found someone special. She was encouraging and warm from start to finish, making us feel at ease as we planned our first dance. Ilona taught us a fully choreographed first dance from scratch so that we could feel confident performing in front of our family and friends on our big day. She incorporated the special elements we wanted into the dance (like a lift) in a way the we could easily learn it and look good doing it, even though we had no prior dance experience. Her clear communication and personalized approach made the whole process smooth and enjoyable. Her 1:1 lessons are an incredible value for the money we spent. We feel so lucky we found her! We highly recommend Ilona to any couple looking for a wedding dance instructor who truly cares about making your wedding day unforgettable.

Ingrid is not only an amazing wedding coordinator, but she is also an amazing wedding officiant. She took our love story and crazy ceremony ideas (such as taking a shot with us along with our guests before we sealed the deal or taping our ring box underneath one of the chairs for a surprise ring bearer) and created the ceremony of our dreams. To hear from multiple guests that it was the best ceremony they attended was the best compliment we could receive because the ceremony is the most important part of a wedding. It was my favorite part of my wedding. Then she can amazingly switch gears from officiant to wedding coordinator and rock that too. She can do it all (literally). I always have other couples tell us that their wedding day goes by very fast and they didn’t really get to enjoy all the little things. However, my husband and I felt like our special day did not go by so fast and we most definitely got to enjoy the little things mainly because Ingrid took care of everything behind the scenes that no one sees. I am very sad I won’t get to work with her anymore unless I get married again lol, but I would recommend her to anyone I know and hopefully get to see her in action again.

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.

Born in Australia, lived in Scotland, I've now been in the US for 10 years, I presided over my first wedding in 2016. Being asked by two of my oldest friends changed my life forever. But I was crazy nervous. That first ceremony elicited something inside of me I never expected. I LOVED, love! I had a feeling of pride and community I'd never experienced before. More and more friends asked me to officiate their weddings over the years until I finally said "frick it, maybe this is my thing." Becoming an officiant has been one of the most rewarding things I've done, experiencing your marriage ceremony with you is now something I look forward to.

I can't recommend Sam Does Weddings enough!! He was the perfect officiant: kind, humorous, patient and most of all understanding! From the moment we chose Sam, he was always available and had genuine care and consideration for our relationship. He took the time to truly understand us as a couple and beautifully captured the essence of our relationship in the ceremony. We wanted a short, unplugged ceremony with the perfect balance of humor and heartfelt moments, and Sam delivered exactly that. He crafted a service that actually felt like us - not generic or overly formal, but filled with love and authenticity that resonated with everyone present. Throughout the planning process, Sam was incredibly helpful and responsive. He gently guided us to ensure we were hitting all the right notes while still giving us the flexibility to make the ceremony our own. He shaped and refined our own telling of our story into something truly special. I still get giddy thinking about when my husband and I read our ceremony script over a glass of wine at dinner! Though what truly sets Sam apart is his attention to detail and thoughtful touches - he even came prepped with a sneaky shot of our favorite drink for both of us right after we said "I do" which was MUCH needed (iykyk) If you're looking for an officiant who will take the time to understand your unique story, respect your wishes, and create a ceremony that perfectly reflects who you are as a couple, Sam is your person. We are, and always will be forever grateful to him :)

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.

It's a great privilege and pleasure to celebrate each couple's unique love story and relationship with a wedding ceremony that is personal yet traditional, always warm and inclusive. I have been working with couples for 30 years, and I love every part of the process - from the psycho-spiritual conversations before the ceremony, to the sacred experience of standing beneath the wedding canopy. I strive to weave together each partner's narrative with the Jewish rituals that sanctify a relationship in ways that reflect each couple's shared values and connections.

Rabbi Yael didn’t just officiate our wedding—she elevated it. She took the time to know us so well that it felt like a close friend was guiding us through the ceremony. Her communication was flawless, her attention to detail exact, and her personal touches added real magic. With warmth, humor, and effortless confidence, she walked us through every moment of the Jewish ceremony and made us feel completely at ease. If you want an officiant who is caring, inclusive, and genuinely unforgettable—especially for interfaith weddings—Rabbi Yael is the one. She’ll make your day not just beautiful, but truly yours.

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.

As fellow meditators, it was a joy to have Shundo officiate our wedding. Shundo's communication style was clear, helpful, and timely throughout the process. He gladly scheduled Zoom calls to learn more about us and to guide us through the vows process (one that we were unknowledgeable about XD). He was also very flexible when we wanted to change how the ceremony was structured. Shundo's work was sincere, compassionate, happy, and joyful. We're grateful that Shundo traveled all the way from San Francisco to Saratoga for our wedding and also mailed in our marriage certificate. Shundo's warm smile and presence truly made our special day even more memorable. Thank you c: - Allie & Eric

Robbie works with couples to create wedding ceremonies that feel personal, grounded, and true to who they are. As an ordained, non-denominational minister with decades of experience, his approach is rooted in ministry, pastoral counseling, and working closely with people through meaningful life moments. He takes the time to get to know each couple so the ceremony reflects their relationship, not something templated or generic. From structure and flow to vows, he guides the entire process so everything feels clear, natural, and meaningful. Premarital support is available if desired, but never required.

I can honestly say working with Robbie as our officiant was one of the best choices we made for our wedding. We originally heard about him through another couple who used him for their wedding, and they spoke so highly of him. After working with him ourselves, we completely understand why. From the start, everything felt so tailored to us. Robbie really takes the time to understand who you are as a couple and brings that into every part of the experience. He is warm, thoughtful, and incredibly professional. He helped us understand the order of the ceremony and made suggestions that elevated everything without ever being pushy. On the wedding day, he delivered a ceremony that felt personal, heartfelt, and beautifully paced. We had multiple guests ask if he was a close friend. THAT is how connected he made everything feel. For a small additional fee, we chose to invest in premarital counseling sessions with him, and it was worth every penny. It was not what people might typically expect when they hear the term. It was not overly religious, uncomfortable, or intimidating. Instead, it felt like open, meaningful conversations that helped us better understand each other. Those sessions gave us practical tools, clarity, and a deeper connection that we will carry far beyond the wedding day. It made the entire experience feel even more intentional and meaningful. I would absolutely recommend Robbie

Patrick absolutely deserves the 5/5 stars - he did an absolutely incredible job officiating our wedding! We recommend him to anyone who is looking for someone who can command a crowd well (not always common in officiants) and bring a dash of humor to the ceremony while saying on-tone The feedback from our guests about the ceremony & Patrick's role in it was resoundingly positive As an added bonus, Patrick himself is an incredibly funny and genuine person, and I'm happy to have gotten to know him through the process Thank you again Patrick for doing an outstanding job Preston & Caroline

My name is Raquel. I am the heart behind Romantic Rituals by Raquel. I am an ordained minister offering civil/nonreligious ceremonies, elopments, religious ceremonies, vow renewals, quinceaneras and other life celebrations.

From our first conversation with Rachel at Romantic Rituals, we knew we had found the right officiant for our big day. She kept us in the loop at every stage and made sure we felt heard throughout the entire planning process. 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. Her attention to detail and warmth made the whole experience feel special, and our guests couldn't stop talking about how meaningful it was. We were blown away by how she turned our vision into something we'll treasure forever. Rachel's care and thoughtfulness made our wedding day unforgettable, and we can't recommend her enough.

What I love about being an officiant is getting to know my couples. What their hopes and dreams are as individuals and as a couple. What they like about each other, what their favorite things they like to do together, and what makes them a couple. Putting all those things together in a memorable wedding ceremony is my passion. My ceremonies are always as individual as my couples. Every relationship is special and unique and I enjoy creating and sharing how you both got to this day, this moment. Your Story. The Best Love Story. Ever.

Working with Renne was just lovely. From our first meeting, she was so warm, down to earth and easy to talk to. She immediately had us feeling at ease with her genuine care. Our wedding ceremony was a perfect story of us and our love story. She managed to capture the uniqueness and beauty of our relationship and our loved ones were in tears. It set the stage for such a meaningful celebration. She printed out our ceremony and vows and we keep them in our wedding box. We open it every year and read it together as a way of reflecting on our love and remembering our values and promises we made to each other. We are so grateful for the way Renne made our wedding ceremony perfect for us and how she is still a fixture in our story a little each year.
