Donna and Rebecca are an officiant + photographer duo creating stress-free elopements and intimate weddings along the California coast since 2010. Together, they handle everything from the ceremony to the photography, so couples can relax and enjoy the experience. Donna Rose Gardner of Honey in the Heart Ceremonies is an award-winning officiant known for heartfelt, personalized ceremonies, vow writing, and expert guidance through permits, licenses, and planning details. Rebecca Stark is a seasoned wedding photographer specializing in natural, relaxed imagery along the redwoods, beaches, and hidden coastal gems from Santa Cruz to Big Sur.

I truly cannot believe how seamless, beautiful, and completely stress-free my wedding day was - and it’s all thanks to the incredible team with Donna and Rebecca at Elope Santa Cruz and Monterey Bay! Our officiant and ceremony coordinator, Donna, was nothing short of magical. When we mentioned our deep desire to be married in the Redwood Forest, she not only acknowledged it, but she helped us with securing the perfect spot! And, she took care of the paperwork to secure our permit! She wrote a beautiful piece about being married with the Redwood Trees as our witnesses that touched our hearts. Our ceremony felt so personal to us. Donna is kind, warm, genuine and really easy to work with, making the whole experience feel effortless and meaningful. From the very beginning, Rebecca made us feel comfortable in front of the camera. As someone who can feel a little self-conscious being photographed, that comfort level meant everything. She had a natural gift for working with our guests - effortlessly guiding family and friends while keeping the energy light and fun. The confidence she brought out in us is something I will always be grateful for. Our photos were delivered in a downloadable format to us within three weeks. We loved going through them to share an announcement that we “tied the knot”. Together, Donna and Rebecca created a day that was everything we dreamed of and more. No stress, no chaos- just pure joy and love. This is a day that we will carry in our hearts forever and we have Elope Santa Cruz and Monterey Bay to thank for that. If you’re thinking about eloping or planning an intimate ceremony, do not hesitate-you are in the absolute best hands with them!

Since 2009, I have officiated nearly three thousand weddings and have enjoyed every minute of it. This is your special day, and my job is to write a beautiful ceremony that you, and your guests, will remember and enjoy. Over the past 15 years, I have officiated weddings from Santa Cruz to Big Sur, from Monterey to Pacific Grove and everywhere in between. Every wedding is special, and I always feel so grateful to be a part of a couple's special day.

Monterey Bay Wedding Officiants were an incredible choice for our wedding ceremony. From the start, they were incredibly responsive, providing in-depth and thorough communication to understand exactly what we were looking for. Brian, our officiant, truly took the time to get to know us as a couple, and crafted a creative and unique ceremony that felt perfectly tailored to our relationship. Thanks to Brian's thoughtful approach, our ceremony was incredible (the perfect mix of romantic and sincere with some great touches of humor) and we feel so lucky to have had him be a part of our special day. Monterey Bay Wedding Officiants provided incredible value, and we would highly recommend them to any couple looking for an officiant who will make your ceremony truly personal and memorable.

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.

Marie made our day absolutely perfect! We booked our wedding for June 6th in January and Marie was communicative and thoughtful in every interaction. We love her dedication to inclusion, love, and the best experience possible for her couples. We told Marie that we wanted our ceremony to feel as if it were just us, and she absolutely delivered. We’d get married by Marie a hundred times if we could!

  • Serves Soledad, CA

Danny Bias Weddings creates calm, personalized wedding ceremonies across Southern California. As a professional wedding officiant, I help couples feel present, relaxed, and genuinely connected on their wedding day. Every ceremony includes custom vows, a personalized ceremony script, and thoughtful planning to reflect your story. 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.

We absolutely loved having Terry and Xach as our wedding photographers in Playa Vista! From the moment they arrived, their warmth and enthusiasm made a huge difference. They were with us every step of the way, from pre-wedding preparations to the ceremony and the reception. They knew exactly how to capture the little moments that meant the world to us. Plus, they never got in the way; instead, they felt like part of the celebration. Our guests couldn’t stop raving about how fantastic they were. Terry and Xach brought such positive energy, and we’re so grateful for the memories they created for us. Honestly, we couldn’t have asked for better photographers!

I Do X Two 
Rating: 5.0 (5 reviews)
  • Offers 9 ceremony types
  • Starts at $400
  • Serves Soledad, CA for additional fees

I love working with couples to write a ceremony that is authentic to their love story and with all the details they envision. I've officiated estate-sized wine country weddings and those at the Ritz; to ceremonies in art galleries and country clubs, to shoreline and backyard elopements, and vow renewals at a family picnic or a restaurant--each one just as special as the other.

Saundra was recommended to us by our wedding planner and we were glad we choose her. We were looking for a more casual and non-religious officiant for our wedding and Saundra was more than willing to accommodate our preferences. Our first intro call was extremely informative. She laid out her process and her experiences with other couples and different types of weddings she's officiated in the past. It was clear she was an experienced officiant from the well-established process she had. Her communication was very effective. Her meetings were tailored toward new couples who have zero experience with weddings and she was always responsive to any questions we had through email or text. We received many compliments about the Ceremony that she officiated. Saundra had developed 90% of the script herself and personalized it based on our preferences. Her delivery and energy was less officiant-like and more casual/home-like which was what we were hoping for. I definitely would recommend Saundra as an officiant for any wedding. Her support and preparation for our wedding left no ambiguity during the ceremony.

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 did an amazing job creating a meaningful ceremony for us on a short-time frame, was incredibly communicative, and altogether a wonderful officiant! She was very gracious with how scattered some of the planning went and made us both feel so comfortable, which meant the world as a young queer couple. Her presentation of the ceremony truly felt like it reflected us as a couple, and our family members who were in attendance were amazed that she had crafted a ceremony that felt so perfect to us just from talking on the phone with us a couple of times. Absolutely would recommend:)

Santa Cruz Officiant

  • Serves Soledad, CA

Hi, I’m Naomi—a multi-award-winning wedding officiant known for ceremonies that feel like soul nourishment. I’m part marriage midwife, part storyteller, part fierce, loving mama bear. I help couples stay grounded, connected, and deeply seen on one of the most important days of their lives. Guests swear I must be a family member or close friend because of how well I get to know the couples I work with. I’m re-imagining ceremony for a secular world, and creating ceremonies that feel transformative to you, and unforgettable to everyone else. The best way to reach me is directly through my website.

Choosing Naomi as our officiant was one of the very best decisions we made for our wedding. She embodies so much warmth and wisdom and has an extremely thoughtful process of getting to know her couples. We wanted our ceremony to be the most special part of our day, and while we trusted her from the beginning, we couldn’t have imagined a ceremony as beautiful as the one she delivered. We wanted to really feel the transition, the peace, the profoundness of the moment, and Naomi gave us this and so much more. Every word was meaningful and deeply personal, not a single one wasted. She slowed everything down. She helped us and our guests all be still and truly present and to notice even the tiniest details that were made not so tiny by the awareness: the trees, the smell of the cool forest air, the crow flying overhead. She was a grounding presence that steadied us in a moment that is often nerve-ridden and blurry for many people. Friends and family all commented on how it was the most beautiful ceremony they had ever been to. One friend even said that he had never been to a wedding where the ceremony was the best part until ours. If you are looking for an officiant who can truly see you and your partner, someone who is capable of honoring your story and your dreams, someone to anchor you in a whirlwind moment while acknowledging how once in a lifetime it is, then run don’t walk to connect with Naomi. You will be so glad you did.

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