Dani was the best possible choice. From the very first moment, she was extremely kind and friendly. She genuinely wanted to get to know us better and learn our story so she could reflect it in the wedding speech. The speech was very personal, professional, and delivered beautifully. We’re truly glad we found Dani.

Awarded Best of Zola
Julia was amazing in the process of planning our ceremony from start to finish, in fact had I not come across Julia our wedding may have had a completely different outcome. When I first inquired with Julia my husband and I were aiming on planning a small ceremony at Santa Barbara court house. Julia took the time and effort to schedule a zoom meeting with us right away and thanks to Julia’s experience we quickly learned the court house was not going to be the ceremony for us. Julia went above and beyond to help us navigate towards a ceremony that would be much better suited for us and our guests to a point that I mentioned she felt like she was stepping into a wedding planner’s role along with being an excellent officiant. Leading up closer to the ceremony she took the time to perfect a draft and mock up of what our ceremony would be like and that began to really easy our nerves. We knew we were in good hands seeing how organized and professional Julia had been during the entire process and the day of the ceremony surpassed our expectations. She took the time to meet with my husband and his parents as they waited my arrival, took leadership in orchestrating the start of the wedding procession and took a moment to meet me in front of the church before the start of our ceremony to calm my nerves and remind me what the importance of our wedding and ceremony was. Days after our ceremony my husband and I got several compliments on how personal and touching our ceremony was and that was a great deal to do with Julia! All in all we would highly recommend Julia and can’t thank her enough for the huge role she played in our wedding.

L + A Union Ceremonies 
Rating: 4.6 (10 reviews)
  • Offers 10 ceremony types
  • Starts at $550
  • Serves Summerland, CA

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.

My approach is warm, grounded, and focused on your experience from start to finish.

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.

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

Choosing Better Together for our wedding at St. Francis Episcopal Church was easily the best decision we made.

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:)
