Hawthorne, CA

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.

Awarded Best of Zola
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.

We had a wonderful experience with Pastor Jeff as our wedding officiant. From our first video call, he took the time to get to know us and made the whole process feel personable and comfortable. He guided us through planning the ceremony with clear communication over email, phone, and video calls, and even hosted a mini-rehearsal at his home and answered all of our questions with great detail. On the wedding day, he arrived looking great in the outfit we’d chosen and took time to coach everyone through their roles before the ceremony. The ceremony itself was beautifully led—thoughtful, heartfelt, and seamless. Afterwards, he even sent us photos he had taken, which was such a kind touch. Pastor Jeff was professional, organized, and truly a joy to work with—we highly recommend him!!!

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 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.

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.

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.

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!

Congrats on finding the love of your life! I love coming alongside brides and grooms to help them plan and have the ceremony of their dreams. From the outset, you will have a friendly, supportive wedding pastor who will walk with you through the process and give you the tools to create a ceremony that your guests will love and that you will never forget. Contact me today to set up a no obligation wedding inquiry appointment. As a thank you for meeting, I will give you a free ebook of wedding vows to help you get started.

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.
