  • 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!!!

Joel was awesome for our wedding this past March. All we wanted was a short and sweet ceremony that felt like us, and he delivered! He was very communicative during planning and gave us several options of how we wanted the ceremony to go. He made sure to make it personal to us while adding a couple fun touches such as an officiant selfie! Overall we’d highly recommend him.

I'm all about #antiboringweddings. Whether you're having just the birds and trees as guests or 500 of your nearest and dearest, your marriage ceremony should sound and feel like you. (Crazy concept, right?) That's why every ceremony I do is about creating the experience you want for yourselves so it is both joyful and unforgettable.

Beyond her professionalism, she was genuinely warm and welcoming, which put us at ease from start to finish. On the day of our elopement, her work was nothing short of exceptional.

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.

Awarded Best of Zola
Rabbi Ridberg officiated our modern, mostly secular interfaith wedding, and we could not have asked for a better experience. She took the time to understand who we are as a couple and crafted a ceremony that felt authentic, inclusive, and deeply personal. Her ability to blend tradition with a contemporary approach made every part of the service feel meaningful without ever feeling formal or restrictive. She was organized, thoughtful, and incredibly warm throughout the entire process. Our families—from different religious and cultural backgrounds—felt respected and included, and many guests told us afterward how beautiful and intentional the ceremony was. We are grateful for her guidance and presence on our wedding day and highly recommend Rabbi Ridberg to any couple looking for an officiant who is compassionate, adaptable, and genuinely invested in making the ceremony reflect your values.

Whether you’re planning an intimate elopement or a full wedding celebration, I’ll guide you through the process without unnecessary traditions, awkward moments, or added stress. My goal is simple: create a ceremony that feels authentic, meaningful, and unmistakably yours.

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.

If you're having a Big Bear wedding you need a Big Bear minister! BearSky is a religious non-profit serving those incapable of doing tasks such as snow removal and we also conduct social visits to the isolated.

We truly cannot say enough wonderful things about our officiant. From the very beginning, he brought such warmth, professionalism, and genuine care to the entire process. He took the time to get to know us as a couple, understand our story, and thoughtfully incorporate those details into a ceremony that felt deeply personal and meaningful. On the day of the wedding, he created such a calm and reassuring presence. His delivery was heartfelt, engaging, and perfectly balanced with emotion and lightness—there wasn’t a dry eye, but there were also plenty of smiles and laughter. So many of our guests commented on how beautiful and memorable the ceremony was, and that’s entirely thanks to him. He didn’t just “officiate”—he elevated the entire experience and set the tone for the rest of our day. We felt completely seen, celebrated, and supported every step of the way. If you’re looking for someone who will make your ceremony unforgettable, we wholeheartedly recommend him. We feel incredibly lucky to have had him be part of such an important moment in our lives.

Just like most wedding decisions, there are so many choices to choose from. When the decision is something as important and intimate as who is going to be the person officiating your wedding ceremony, it's important to feel like you made the right choice. From our first phone call with Heidi she was very personable, caring and passionate. She answered all of our questions and explained what sets her apart from other officiants. We knew Love Story Vows was for us. Heidi has such a charming demeanor that made us feel so comfortable around her. She created a personal bond with us before the wedding over phone calls, messages, and even a coffee date where we got to meet her amazing Pomeranian, Pilot.

  • Offers 8 ceremony types

  • 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.
