I believe that on the day you say your “I do’s” more love is brought into the world! I craft authentic, heartfelt, and unforgettable wedding ceremonies in Santa Cruz, Monterey, Carmel, and Big Sur. Since 2010, I've blended cultural traditions and personal touches to elevate celebrations beyond the ordinary. All love is welcome here.

“Donna was an integral part of our big day. I was nervous hiring a stranger to play such an intimate and critical role in such an important life event. Upon meeting Donna, those fears were gone. She was kind, warm, and took time to get to know us and our love story. We are both deeply spiritual, but not religious. Our love story was a journey. She gave us the tools and support needed and worked with us to create a ceremony was intimate, heartfelt, at times funny, and the perfect mix of tradition and us.”

Since 2009, I have officiated nearly three thousand weddings and have enjoyed every minute of it. This is your special day, and my job is to write a beautiful ceremony that you, and your guests, will remember and enjoy. Over the past 15 years, I have officiated weddings from Santa Cruz to Big Sur, from Monterey to Pacific Grove and everywhere in between. Every wedding is special, and I always feel so grateful to be a part of a couple's special day.

“Monterey Bay Wedding Officiants were an incredible choice for our wedding ceremony. From the start, they were incredibly responsive, providing in-depth and thorough communication to understand exactly what we were looking for. Brian, our officiant, truly took the time to get to know us as a couple, and crafted a creative and unique ceremony that felt perfectly tailored to our relationship. Thanks to Brian's thoughtful approach, our ceremony was incredible (the perfect mix of romantic and sincere with some great touches of humor) and we feel so lucky to have had him be a part of our special day. Monterey Bay Wedding Officiants provided incredible value, and we would highly recommend them to any couple looking for an officiant who will make your ceremony truly personal and memorable.”

He just had a wonderful energy and aura about him that made it very easy to connect. His great personality just naturally puts smiles on people’s faces. Despite traveling far, he arrived exactly when he said he would so you could count on him to be punctual and professional. We loved how he personalized our ceremony, and he did an amazing job letting our guests really feel connected to our love story. During our reception, so many of our guests told us how much they loved him. We are more than happy with the outcome of hiring Danny. He exceeded our expectations, and that is saying a lot because both of us could be a bit of perfectionists. We highly recommend him to anyone and everyone. You are in good hands with him.

Hi! My name is Anna Soco (she/her) and I'm the PNW's premiere Queer wedding officiant and believer in love. My work is rooted in the belief that love is alive, communal, and transformative - and because of that, your wedding ceremony should be, too! 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!

“Anna Socolofsky was such a dream officiant. She brought the kind of mature, strong, knowing presence to our time working together and to our wedding that made us feel so held and allowed us to stand in our power. Any wedding nerves fell away because it was like walking into this next season of life with someone who was there to support and help you trust your own strength. She not only worked with our psychotically short time frame but brought a focus on queer love and joy to our wedding that was so vital and important to us. We did a very intimate small casual wedding but having her presence brought the cohesion that the ceremony needed to make it feel like a ritual and not just a backyard party. We will always remember working with her with fondness and recommend her to so many in our community.”

“We found her on The Knot, and honestly, it felt like hitting the jackpot. We’d been dreaming of this handfasting for over 30 years, and from the very first conversation, she made it clear she wasn’t just showing up—she was living it with us. She checked in, laughed with us through our last-minute freakouts, and somehow kept her cool while we spiraled over the tiniest details. She instantly got our vibe—bold colors, wildflowers, handfasting cords, quirks, chaos, all of it—and even brought in a Star Trek reading that made our hearts soar (yes, she’s that awesome). She didn’t just go through the motions; she elevated our day, made us cry, made us laugh until our cheeks hurt, and somehow made everything feel like us. If you want someone who’s part officiant, part fairy godmother, and all heart, she’s your person. Seriously, stop looking—just book her.”

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.”

I’m Naomi Rose, a wedding officiant serving Santa Cruz county, Carmel, Monterey and Big Sur. I’m an ordained reverend and certified celebrant who has officiated over 400 large scale wedding ceremonies and intimate elopements. I specialize in secular, spiritual-but-not-religious and Jewish ceremonies, as well as second marriage and blended family ceremonies. I believe a wedding is more than a production to curate, but a threshold to cross, and that it’s not simply an event requiring an officiant, but a rite of passage requiring a ceremony. I also believe that if you’re putting great care into your venue, photography, music, design and guest experience, your ceremony should reflect that same level of thoughtfulness and attention to detail.

“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.”

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.”
