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!

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!!!

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.

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.

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.

Heidi is an absolute gem of a human. She came recommended to us by our wedding photographers and was the perfect officiant for our LA elopement. We felt a connection to her from the very beginning and she made us feel like family. Over the course of several months, we worked together on crafting our personalized ceremony that included a hand fasting and tarot card pull. We then completed a questionnaire that was used to tell our love story. I was genuinely taken aback at the heartfelt way our answers wove together to tell the story of our relationship. I should also mention how meaningful it was that our final tarot card that we pulled was The Heirophant - literally the marriage card. It made our ceremony feel even more magical! We are so grateful for her involvement in making our day perfect — and we are glad to call her Aunt Heidi!

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!

Rating: 5.0 (1 review)
  • 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.
