SoCal Christian Weddings 
Rating: 4.9 (14 reviews)
  • Offers 9 ceremony types
  • Starts at $625
  • Serves La Quinta, 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!

Without a doubt, Jeff was the best investment we made for our wedding and for our marriage. With Jeff we invested in our marriage with his premarital coaching. Wedding planning can be stressful, and this coaching and relationship homework kept our minds on what was truly important. We met regularly with Jeff via video calls, and he graciously welcomed us into his home for our first coaching session and later for a ceremony rehearsal. The mini-rehearsal was incredibly helpful! He even taught us “the dip” at the end of the aisle, which we practiced together leading up to our big day. On the wedding day, Jeff arrived early, dressed to impress in an outfit of our choosing, and led the most beautiful ceremony. Multiple guests told us it was the best wedding ceremony they had ever witnessed. Personally, I felt an overwhelming sense of calm and joy on the morning of our wedding—something I truly believe was made possible by Jeff’s preparation, guidance, and genuine care. We are forever grateful.

We cannot recommend Ryan enough.From our first conversation, he exceeded our expectations in every way. Communication with him was always easy, thoughtful, and professional. When we first started looking for an officiant, we assumed it would be a one size fits all experience but Ryan and his wife completely changed that perception. He took the time to really get to know us, and because of that, he created a ceremony that felt incredibly personal, meaningful, and true to who we are as a couple. His attention to detail and genuine care made our wedding ceremony not just a formality, but one of the most special parts of the entire day. And as a bonus in the words of my husband “presentation was sharp” Ryan looked great, carried himself with confidence, and brought the perfect energy to our big day. Thank you, Ryan, for making our wedding unforgettable. You helped us start this new chapter with love, warmth, and a ceremony that truly reflected our hearts.

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.

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.

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!

Your ceremony doesn't have to be "cookie cutter" or "run of the mill." I work with all my couples to present a ceremony that truly reflects your relationship. My goal is to ensure that you and your guests experience a meaningful and entertaining wedding ceremony to start your special day.

We hired Pamela to officiate our October wedding in Massachusetts after searching online for LGBTQ-friendly officiants, and she was absolutely amazing! From our very first meeting, we knew we had made the right choice. She was professional, experienced, reassuring, personable, and so easy to work with throughout the entire process. Pamela took the time to get to know us and crafted a ceremony that felt deeply personal and true to our love story, which was so special. Several of our guests commented on how captivating the ceremony was and were surprised to learn that we hadn’t known Pamela beforehand. She also guided us through the marriage license process and made it very easy and stress-free. We would highly recommend her to any engaged couple looking for a thoughtful, inclusive, and exceptional officiant. Thank you, Pamela!

  • Offers 8 ceremony types
  • Starts at $2,250
  • Serves La Quinta, 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.
