San Diego, CA

  • Serves California

Wedding officiant Heidi's only job is to make sure that you both have a wonderful ceremony that feels right to you. It should be memorable for the right reasons, have some laughter, a little bit of romance, and show your love for each other. She will capture your personal love story and your ceremony will definitely Not be long and boring! Heidi has married over 650 couples since 2016 and she's known for making the process easy and stress free for you. As a former wedding planner, she makes sure your ceremony flows smoothly and she will help you feel calm and actually enjoy your ceremony!

My husband and I had so much fun working with Heidi from Love Story Vows! From the moment we met Heidi and her wonderful photographer husband, Alan, we knew they were the perfect duo for our Safari Park wedding. They were helpful, communicative, and constantly positive. With Heidi's easy to follow resources and clear questionnaires and forms, together we created the most perfect, nature-centric ceremony. Many of our guests were blown away by our heartfelt ceremony and details of our love story. As a type A bride, Heidi and I had a lot of back and forth emails trying to get the ceremony just right, and she even added a special piece about the symbolism between the Safari animals and our marriage, something very important to us. I think we must have called to the animals, because the most serendipitous thing happened during the ceremony-- a parade of several giraffes came galloping along right behind us, right before I was going to say my vows. We were all completely awestruck, it was just the perfect moment. When we look back on our wedding day, we are blessed to have memories of Heidi's calming and reliable presence. She gave us water, positivity, and delivered the most beautiful ceremony. Our guests who had the chance to meet Heidi, shared with us what a kind person she was. Many also said they loved the tone of her voice and how she was very professional and had the audience in control. Heidi and Alan are both so knowledgeable about weddings, and with their help we felt confident that we had a solid timeline. We felt very well taken care of in their presence. Thank you!

L + A Union Ceremonies 

5.0

Hawthorne, CA
  • Offers 10 ceremony types
  • Starts at $550
  • Serves California

Hi, I'm Lilian Argueta, a proud Guatemalan American, native Angelina, and the heart behind L+A Union Ceremonies. I’ve always believed in the power of human connection and the importance of honoring it with authenticity, care, and soul. I’ve been a certified officiant since 2017, and my path to this work has been anything but traditional—in the best way. L+A stands for Luz y Amor, light and love in Spanish. It’s more than a name; it’s a belief system. I believe we are all energy, all light…and when two people come together in love, something truly magical happens. That magic deserves to be witnessed and celebrated with intention & creativity.

We are so grateful we found Lilian of L A Union Ceremonies to officiate our wedding. Though she’s based in SoCal, she flew up to San Francisco for our ceremony, and from start to finish she was an absolute joy to work with. When looking for an officiant, we wanted someone non-traditional to match the kind of ceremony we envisioned - bride and groom walking down the aisle together, no wedding processional or religious elements, and none of the “standard” wedding language that didn’t fit us. Lilian put us completely at ease. She clearly cares deeply about her work and pours so much love into the process, from having us each complete a thoughtful questionnaire to custom-writing a ceremony script that felt like “us,” to helping along the way with things like last-minute support for vows. On the day of, she was the calming presence we needed - talking us through our nerves right beforehand so we could truly enjoy the moment. Her attention to detail continued all the way through, even down to sending us a photo of her mailing off our signed marriage license application. And afterward, she surprised us with a thoughtful keepsake that showed just how much she goes the extra mile for her couples. If you want a true partner in creating a meaningful, personalized ceremony, Lilian should absolutely be your go-to. We can’t recommend her highly enough.

I am a retired professional with a background in law and hospitality, holding degrees from Brigham Young University, Wake Forest University, and UNC School of Law. After officiating weddings in South Florida, I moved to Rancho Mirage to be near my grandchildren. I love helping couples create memorable, meaningful ceremonies. As a U.S. Coast Guard-licensed captain, I bring a relaxed, personal touch to every wedding, making your special day unique and enjoyable.

We were married in Palm Beach in February 2022, and because my husband is a yacht captain, we knew we wanted a sea captain to officiate our wedding. We found Captain Ray online and from our very first meeting, we knew we had made the right choice. He took the time to learn our love story, understand our vision, and work closely with us to create a beautiful interfaith ceremony with nautical touches that felt deeply personal and meaningful. Captain Ray blended warmth, professionalism, and charm, making both us and our guests feel completely at ease. Our ceremony was exactly what we hoped for — heartfelt, unique, and a true reflection of us. We are so grateful for his guidance and presence on our special day and highly recommend him to any couple looking for an officiant who truly listens, cares, and delivers a memorable experience.

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.

Thank you so much Sam! Sam blended a perfect script together for our ceremony by just asking a few questions. An amazing story of love came of it, and we couldn’t have asked for a better officiant to help share it with our friends and family. Sam made it comfortable and fun throughout the process, starting from the one on one video pre interview, to writing the script for the ceremony and sharing it with us, to the day of the ceremony where it was executed superbly. Thanks Sam, truly appreciate your contribution to our special day!

Hello and Congratulations! I have the best job in the world because I get to tell your story and connect you to each other and your guests. I love to have fun! As a former nurse and teacher, I am sensitive to individual needs and I am very comfortable in front of people.

Meg’s Ceremonies was truly the perfect choice for our wedding officiant, and we feel so lucky to have found her. From the very beginning, Meg made us feel at ease. She was incredibly communicative, always open to feedback, and quick to respond to our messages—no matter how small the question or how last-minute the request. It felt like we had someone in our corner who genuinely cared about making our ceremony reflect us, and that kind of support meant the world during such a busy and emotional time. In the weeks leading up to the wedding, Meg guided us through the process with patience and kindness. She took the time to learn our story, listen to our ideas, and weave them together into something that felt both personal and polished. We never once felt rushed or pressured; instead, Meg created a space where we could be ourselves and trust that she would bring our vision to life. On the wedding day itself, Meg exceeded every expectation. Her attention to detail was impeccable, and her comedic timing was spot-on—she had our guests laughing, smiling, and tearing up in all the right moments. The way she told our story was heartfelt and hilarious, striking that perfect balance between romance and humor that we had hoped for. Our friends and family still talk about how much they enjoyed the ceremony, and we know that’s thanks to Meg’s talent and warmth. Beyond the ceremony, Meg went above and beyond to make the entire experience seamless. While we were busy mingling with family and taking photos, she quietly took care of signing the marriage license so we didn’t have to worry about a thing. She even surprised us with a sweet goodie bag and a personalized book that matched the pastel and floral theme of our wedding—a thoughtful touch that made us feel so seen and celebrated. Looking back, we couldn’t have asked for a better officiant. Meg brought joy, professionalism, and genuine heart to every step of the process. The value she provided was exceptional, but more importantly, she gave us memories we’ll cherish forever. If you’re looking for someone who is warm, professional, and truly gifted at what she does, we cannot recommend Meg’s Ceremonies enough. She will make your day not only beautiful, but unforgettable.

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.

Hi, I’m Naomi—a multi-award-winning wedding officiant known for ceremonies that feel like soul nourishment. I’m part marriage midwife, part mythic storyteller, part fierce loving mama bear. I help couples stay grounded, connected, and deeply seen on one of the most important days of their lives. Rooted in years of cross cultural study, I create inclusive, wildly meaningful, sacred but non-religious ceremonies. Guests swear I must be a family member or close friend. I’m a reverend gone rogue—innovating modern rites with heart, humor, and holy intention, and creating ceremonies that feel like home to you—and unforgettable to everyone else.

Choosing Naomi as our officiant was one of the very best decisions we made for our wedding. She embodies so much warmth and wisdom and has an extremely thoughtful process of getting to know her couples. We wanted our ceremony to be the most special part of our day, and while we trusted her from the beginning, we couldn’t have imagined a ceremony as beautiful as the one she delivered. We wanted to really feel the transition, the peace, the profoundness of the moment, and Naomi gave us this and so much more. Every word was meaningful and deeply personal, not a single one wasted. She slowed everything down. She helped us and our guests all be still and truly present and to notice even the tiniest details that were made not so tiny by the awareness: the trees, the smell of the cool forest air, the crow flying overhead. She was a grounding presence that steadied us in a moment that is often nerve-ridden and blurry for many people. Friends and family all commented on how it was the most beautiful ceremony they had ever been to. One friend even said that he had never been to a wedding where the ceremony was the best part until ours. If you are looking for an officiant who can truly see you and your partner, someone who is capable of honoring your story and your dreams, someone to anchor you in a whirlwind moment while acknowledging how once in a lifetime it is, then run don’t walk to connect with Naomi. You will be so glad you did.

San Francisco, 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.

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

Monica was amazing! We had never met in person, but through thorough communication over the phone it felt like she really knew us. She provided us with an amazing service and we are so grateful for her

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.

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.

I just had my wedding on July 5th and used I Do X Two’s services, with Saundra as our officiant. From the beginning, she took extensive time and care to craft a personalized ceremony that reflected both me and my now-husband perfectly. Saundra met with us beforehand to hear our love story and get to know us both individually and as a couple. She made sure our voices were heard and that our wishes for the ceremony were thoughtfully incorporated. I consider myself spiritual but not religious, while my husband was raised in a religious family and has his own way of practicing it. Saundra reassured us that despite our differences, she would be able to blend both of our beliefs into a ceremony that honored us equally—and she absolutely delivered. My husband also shared some of his concerns with Saundra, including potential areas of conflict, and she responded with understanding and grace, sharing how she’s helped other couples navigate similar situations. When the big day arrived, Saundra was incredible. She led the ceremony with such beauty, calm, and confidence—it flowed seamlessly. She was organized, warm, and extremely helpful throughout the entire process. She even offered to print our vows on the most gorgeous cardstock and supported us with the ceremony’s flow to ensure everything went perfectly. After the ceremony, Saundra took care of our marriage license, ensuring everything was completed and submitted properly. Our guests and both of our families couldn’t stop raving about how beautiful the ceremony was and how wonderful Saundra made it feel. All this to say: choose I Do X Two. You’ll have a stunning ceremony, guests who are moved and impressed, and hearts that are full! Thank you so much Saundra!

Hello! I’m Daniel and I’m honored to be considered for your big day! From my home in sunny Sacramento, California, I work with couples to make their ceremonies memorable, meaningful to them and engaging for guests. I guide my couples through the planning process of the ceremony from brainstorming symbols of unity to ordering a copy of your wedding certificate from the county.

We couldn’t be happier with our decision to have D officiate our wedding. From start to finish, he was warm, professional, and incredibly thoughtful. He guided us through the entire process with ease, taking the stress out of one of the most important parts of the day. On the big day, D delivered a ceremony that was truly perfect. He thoughtfully incorporated the religious elements we wanted in order to honor and respect my parents' beliefs, seamlessly blended two different cultures and languages, and added a few nerdy, personal touches that made it feel uniquely us. We’re so grateful to D for helping create such a meaningful and memorable moment. Highly recommend!

Pastor Ken was an exceptional wedding officiant who exceeded our expectations. His communication style was effective, generous, prompt and timely throughout the entire process. Based on our questionnaire responses, he came across as incredibly personable and everyone who attended our wedding resonated with his word choice, making it feel like he had known us as a couple for years even though we had only hired him a few months prior. Pastor Ken made sure our meeting was intentional, ensuring the vows and transitions on our wedding day ran smoothly. He really delivered and made our wedding day extra special, all within a concise one-hour timeframe. We couldn't have asked for a better officiant to make our special day so memorable.

Say what you want to say. Hear what you want to hear. I'll meet with you as many times as you want. Every detail of your ceremony is important. "Thank you for the kind words and making our ceremony so thoughtful and stress free."

As a wedding planner I just love it when I can refer Reverend Clint to my couples. Reverend Clint has a special gift for helping couples feel deeply connected to their ceremonies and to one another and they always seem to fall in love all over again after one conversation with him. He has a magic way about him when my couples first talk with him, with his loving, kind, gentle and professional demeanor and then he gently guides my couples into crafting a deeply meaningful ceremony with words that feel personal and authentic to them. As a wedding planner, I'm always thrilled to refer Reverend Clint, because I know my couples will have the most wonderful sincere ceremony experience and say what they want to say and for me , he is just a delight to work with. He is Incredibly prepared on a wedding day . I never have to worry about Reverend Clint, as he is always on time, he checks in with photo and video and makes sure everyone knows exactly where each other is during the ceremony , so my couples get the best shots and I could not ask for more for my couples and for myself and my team. He is truly doing what he was meant to be doing in this world.
