Pandit Dutt's extensive knowledge and expertise were highly valuable; he provided us with a detailed list of all required materials for the pooja ceremony and offered comprehensive guidance. On the day of the event, he adeptly managed unforeseen situations and assisted in the creation of informational pamphlets for guests unfamiliar with Indian wedding traditions. We sincerely appreciate Pandit Dutt for his professionalism and for contributing to making our special day truly memorable.

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.

We hit a stroke of luck when we found Lilian on Zola! From our very first call, my husband and I felt an instant connection with her. She guided us through every detail—from the paperwork we needed to thoughtful feedback on our vows—and even helped us incorporate a cacao ritual from Guatemala into our ceremony. Lilian truly brought our wedding to life. It was a perfect 10/10 experience!

Awarded Best of Zola
Dani was an amazing officiant. We got so many compliments on how personal the ceremony was, and she was a pleasure to work with. She took a lot of care in making sure she spoke we multiple times over the phone (we were from out of town), and ensured we were happy with the final ceremony script. She was professional but had that extra hint of care. She also filed our marriage license the next business day, which was very much appreciated. She has a lot of experience in doing rooms in the Santa Barbara Courthouse. Thank you again Dani!

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.

Weddings By Roxanne Hunt 
Rating: 5.0 (5 reviews)
  • Offers 9 ceremony types
  • Starts at $599
  • Serves Simi Valley, CA

I am passionate about officiating creative, soulful ceremonies about you and your relationship that also include a touch of fun. No template weddings here! I believe your ceremony should be about you - personal to your style and your story.

Initially, I wanted a friend to officiate our wedding, but my mom is very traditional and really pushed for a professional — and I am SO glad she did because Roxanne curated the most special ceremony I could have ever imagined. I come from a Christian background, and my husband comes from a Jewish background, and neither of us wanted a religious ceremony — but it was important to us to honor both of our families and backgrounds. Roxanne did that so seamlessly and beautifully. She created a ceremony that felt thoughtful, inclusive, and deeply personal without ever feeling religious or performative. She met with us in person, truly took the time to get to know us, and guided us through writing our vows. So many people told us afterward that our vows were some of the best they had ever heard at a wedding — and we owe that entirely to Roxanne’s care and guidance!! I never really dreamed of having a wedding but always wanted a party but we wanted to do a ceremony for the tradition of it and for our parents - but it ended up being my favorite part of the entire day!! Roxanne officiated a ceremony that felt intimate, emotional, and joyful all at once. She is an absolute pro in every sense of the word - she looked beautiful, knew exactly when to step out of frame for photos, and had an incredible instinct for when to bring laughter, when to bring tears, and how to make us feel completely comfortable and present in such a big moment. She grounded us, supported us, and made the ceremony feel effortless. There is truly no one who could have done a better job. I am forever grateful that Roxanne was the one who married us, and I cannot recommend her highly enough.

Sam Does Weddings

  • Starts at $850
  • Serves Simi Valley, CA

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.

Awarded Best of Zola
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!

Ceremonies by Robbie 
Rating: 5.0 (4 reviews)
  • Offers 9 ceremony types
  • Starts at $800
  • Serves Simi Valley, CA

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.

When our original officiant flaked out a little less than a week before our wedding, I was in full panic bridezilla mode. To us, the ceremony was the root of the entire wedding, the moment everything else was built around, the whole purpose of why we were all even there. I was overwhelmed, stressed, and honestly heartbroken. Then we found Robbie through a coworker of mine (Robbie had officiated their wedding a few years ago). From the very first call, he spoke to me so rationally that I could actually breathe again. He took the time to reassure us, walk us through our options, and immediately began moving things around in his schedule to make it all work out. The situation we brought to him wasn’t simple or convenient, but he took it on with so much intention and care. Even though everything was last-minute, he never made us feel rushed, secondary, or like we were just another booking. What’s even more incredible is that even though he only knew us for about 5 days, the ceremony felt like he had known our story for years. We will always be grateful to Robbie for stepping in when we needed it most. Just a side note, despite everything he had to do to make it work for us, Robbie never tried to upsell us or charge extra for our last-minute request. A few other officiants we spoke with before him said they would need to add a few hundred dollars as a “late fee,” but Robbie didn’t do that at all. I don't even think it crossed his mind. Honestly, though, he was such a blessing that we chose to give him more voluntarily, because we truly felt he deserved it.

What I love about being an officiant is getting to know my couples. What their hopes and dreams are as individuals and as a couple. What they like about each other, what their favorite things they like to do together, and what makes them a couple. Putting all those things together in a memorable wedding ceremony is my passion. My ceremonies are always as individual as my couples. Every relationship is special and unique and I enjoy creating and sharing how you both got to this day, this moment. Your Story. The Best Love Story. Ever.

Working with Renne was just lovely. From our first meeting, she was so warm, down to earth and easy to talk to. She immediately had us feeling at ease with her genuine care. Our wedding ceremony was a perfect story of us and our love story. She managed to capture the uniqueness and beauty of our relationship and our loved ones were in tears. It set the stage for such a meaningful celebration. She printed out our ceremony and vows and we keep them in our wedding box. We open it every year and read it together as a way of reflecting on our love and remembering our values and promises we made to each other. We are so grateful for the way Renne made our wedding ceremony perfect for us and how she is still a fixture in our story a little each year.

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.

Pamela was absolutely amazing and such a meaningful part of our wedding ceremony. From our very first meeting, she was warm, organized, and incredibly informative, which immediately put us at ease and helped us understand how the ceremony process would unfold. She provided thoughtful guidance and a variety of options for readings and vows, which made it easy for us to shape a ceremony that felt personal without feeling overwhelming. Throughout the entire planning process, she was consistently responsive, answering our questions quickly and clearly, and always making us feel supported. We truly felt like we had meaningful input in creating the ceremony, and Pamela did a beautiful job of incorporating our personalities, values, and story into the final script. The ceremony reflected us so well, it felt authentic, heartfelt, and intentional in every way. On the day of the wedding, she presented the ceremony with such calm confidence, warmth, and sincerity that it created a really grounding and emotional atmosphere for us. During the ceremony, we felt present, relaxed, and fully able to take in the moment because we trusted Pamela completely. So many of our guests told us afterward how beautiful, personal, and well-paced the ceremony was, along with the laughs we had. One of our friends who are getting married asked for her information so they can have her officiate their ceremony too! We are so grateful for her presence, her guidance, and the care she put into every detail of our experience, it truly made our wedding ceremony unforgettable.

Lawrence E. Adjah, MBA, M.Ed, M.Div. 
Rating: 5.0 (1 review)
  • Offers 8 ceremony types
  • Starts at $2,250
  • Serves Simi Valley, 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.
