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
I am thrilled to highly recommend the exceptional wedding officiant, Lilian Argueta, who made my daughter's destination wedding in Cancun in April 2024 an unforgettable and magical experience. From the moment we engaged her services, it was clear that she was dedicated to creating a personalized and meaningful ceremony that truly reflected the love story of the bride and groom. Her thorough preparation was evident in the pre-event meetings where she took the time to get to know the couple, understand their relationship, and gather details that would make the ceremony truly special. Her attention to detail and genuine interest in their story shone through in every aspect of the ceremony. During the ceremony, her excellent presentation skills, heartfelt words, and warm demeanor captivated everyone present, perfectly capturing the love and magic between the bride and groom. The way she tailored the ceremony to include a lightning round of chess at the end of the vows, symbolizing how the couple met, was a brilliant and iconic touch that truly made the ceremony unique and personalized. I cannot recommend her enough for any couple looking for a wedding officiant who goes above and beyond to create a ceremony that is heartfelt, meaningful, and memorable. Her professionalism, creativity, and genuine care for her clients make her an outstanding choice for any couple looking to start their journey together in a truly special way.

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!

Dr. Jeff was such an amazing person to work with. I am all about paying for quality, and I feel like I got what I paid for and more. We initially decided to choose him because of how organized he was, this is something I care deeply about so it was nice to see how dedicated he was to staying organized for his customers. We began with an initial video call to do introductions, and he made the interaction feel like I was talking to a friend. We picked a package where my now husband and I had a mini rehearsal at Dr. Jeff's home in Temecula. This felt so personal and was ultimately super helpful to ensure we knew what to do on the day. We also hired him to do the formal rehearsal at our rehearsal dinner the night before the wedding. Without this, I honestly am not sure how I would have been able to wrangle my wedding party. Dr. Jeff is so knowledgeable and truly thought of everything! He even let us choose the outfit he was going to wear, this is something I didn't even consider, but it was really so cool to be able to choose. The ceremony went so well and everyone thought he did an amazing job. He worked closely with us customize our ceremony and gave us all the tips and tricks to have a beautiful ceremony. Overall, I had an amazing experience with Dr. Jeff. He is by far one of the best wedding choices I made. If you are unsure about spending the money for a quality officiant with a kind heart, I am telling you that you should take the leap. We did and we are so thankful we did!

Ingrid is not only an amazing wedding coordinator, but she is also an amazing wedding officiant. She took our love story and crazy ceremony ideas (such as taking a shot with us along with our guests before we sealed the deal or taping our ring box underneath one of the chairs for a surprise ring bearer) and created the ceremony of our dreams. To hear from multiple guests that it was the best ceremony they attended was the best compliment we could receive because the ceremony is the most important part of a wedding. It was my favorite part of my wedding. Then she can amazingly switch gears from officiant to wedding coordinator and rock that too. She can do it all (literally). I always have other couples tell us that their wedding day goes by very fast and they didn’t really get to enjoy all the little things. However, my husband and I felt like our special day did not go by so fast and we most definitely got to enjoy the little things mainly because Ingrid took care of everything behind the scenes that no one sees. I am very sad I won’t get to work with her anymore unless I get married again lol, but I would recommend her to anyone I know and hopefully get to see her in action again.

Born in Australia, lived in Scotland, I've now been in the US for 10 years, I presided over my first wedding in 2016. Being asked by two of my oldest friends changed my life forever. But I was crazy nervous. That first ceremony elicited something inside of me I never expected. I LOVED, love! I had a feeling of pride and community I'd never experienced before. More and more friends asked me to officiate their weddings over the years until I finally said "frick it, maybe this is my thing." Becoming an officiant has been one of the most rewarding things I've done, experiencing your marriage ceremony with you is now something I look forward to.

Thank you so much Sam! Sam blended a perfect script together for our ceremony by just asking a few questions. An amazing story of love came of it, and we couldn’t have asked for a better officiant to help share it with our friends and family. Sam made it comfortable and fun throughout the process, starting from the one on one video pre interview, to writing the script for the ceremony and sharing it with us, to the day of the ceremony where it was executed superbly. Thanks Sam, truly appreciate your contribution to our special day!

Robbie works with couples to create wedding ceremonies that feel personal, grounded, and true to who they are. As an ordained, non-denominational minister with decades of experience, his approach is rooted in ministry, pastoral counseling, and working closely with people through meaningful life moments. He takes the time to get to know each couple so the ceremony reflects their relationship, not something templated or generic. From structure and flow to vows, he guides the entire process so everything feels clear, natural, and meaningful. Premarital support is available if desired, but never required.

Robbie has a gift. He created a ceremony that felt deeply personal, emotional, and joyful all at once. He took the time to ask thoughtful questions and really understand our relationship. The way he told our story during the ceremony had everyone laughing and tearing up at the same time. We could not have imagined a better officiant.

I can't say how grateful I am to Roxanne for officiating our wedding. She brought so much warmth and joy to the process from the very beginning. She made sure everything was buttoned up perfectly and made it all run as smoothly as you could dream of. She even managed to get some additional pictures from people who just happened to be walking past our ceremony! She ensured we felt special and were able to focus on each other and the moment rather then the logistics, and that meant the world to us.

In 2007, I was asked by a good friend to officiate his wedding and ever since then I fell in love with being part of someone’s special day. I’ve been blessed to be part of over 100 weddings/anniversaries, each one is very special to me. I enjoy the consultative experience with my clients as it gives them not only insight to what the ceremony will be like. It also, helps reduce their level of stress and anxiety that comes with planning a wedding. And of course, the most rewarding part of the job is exceeding my client’s expectations during their wedding ceremony.

From the moment we spoke to Gabriel over the phone, we knew we would be in good hands. Gabriel was beyond professional and actually took time to curate our ceremony. We were able to include a lasso and arras ceremony, and it was evident he knew exactly how to perform them. As we were running behind, Gabriel personally instructed how the wedding party should walk in and was very clear on what was expected. Not only did this make me feel more at ease, but it made our wedding ceremony beautiful. I highly recommend Gabriel for officiating. He made our day so special!

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!
