  • Serves Desert Hot Springs, CA

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!

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!!!

L + A Union Ceremonies 

5.0

  • Offers 10 ceremony types
  • Starts at $550
  • Serves Desert Hot Springs, 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.

Christina was the absolute right choice for our wedding. We are not religious people and she came up with a wonderful secular service for us. Christina had a short conversation with us first to make sure we were all a good fit. My husband and I decided to go with her at the end of the call. We met over Zoom about a month later (we planned our wedding in a matter of a week for two months later) to go over wishes and logistics. She provided the wedding script the week before the wedding. Christina was on time and is just so lovely to work with. She is so kind, considerate, and listened to what kind of ceremony we wanted. Her script was perfect and we had a tight 15 minute ceremony - short and simply fantastic.

Danny Bias Weddings creates calm, deeply personal wedding ceremonies and day of coordination across Southern California. I help couples stay present and stress free on their wedding day with personalized vows, custom ceremony scripts, and thoughtful planning support. Whether you’re planning an intimate elopement or a full celebration, I tailor every detail to reflect who you are, without pressure, tradition you don’t want, or awkward moments. My approach is warm, grounded, and focused on your experience from start to finish.

We hired Danny for our April 2024 wedding, and couldn't have asked for a better person to have been our officiant. From the very first time we met him, we knew we wanted him to be the one. 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.

  • Serves Desert Hot Springs, 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.
