Absolutely the most amazing day of my life! Heidi from Love Story Vows was exactly what we were looking for, and we started with NO idea what we were looking for! We're non-religious, fun/funny people, but we had a lot of family in attendance for the wedding. We wanted to keep things traditional, but also a twist of silly and sarcastic, just like us. Heidi met with us a few times before the big day, sent us all the instructions/guidelines we needed (never been married before), and helped answer SO many questions! She was truly the easiest, most communicative vendor we had on the whole process, and I cannot thank her enough for all she did for myself and my husband. Our day was perfect with her help. She's your crazy / not crazy Aunt Heidi, and she really loves what she does for a living. You won't go wrong with her, she offers all sorts of wedding styles. Her voice is calm, relaxing, loud enough for all family to hear, makes the ceremony without being the main part, and is just the kindest soul. Thank you Heidi! You helped make our day so much more special, and you'll always have friend for life here!
Great day with Auntie Heidi

Heidi was great to work with from start to finish. She is kind, charismatic, and experienced, and has a ton of fun stories to tell. She helps you create a ceremony that's fun and personal. Day-of, she was super supportive in hectic moments even before the ceremony and helped keep things under control. Many of our guests asked us where we found Heidi or told us how much they loved our ceremony, and we would have been lost planning it without her guidance.

Heide from Love Story Vows was the perfect officiant for our wedding. From the moment we met her, we were struck by her sweet, joyful, and playful communication style. She did an amazing job and went above and beyond to make our special day truly memorable. Heide made sure we felt comfortable and well-prepared leading up to the ceremony, and her attention to detail and desire to personalize our vows made the experience so meaningful. I would highly recommend Heidi to any couple looking for a warm, engaged, and professional officiant to help bring their wedding vision to life.

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!

I just finished officiating my 669th ceremony since I started in 2016! I started officiating weddings after being a wedding planner. I was mentored by awesome wedding officiants! I learned from the best female wedding officiants in the country! Every ceremony I do is different, I encourage my couples to let me personalize their ceremony. The best way to do that is to have me write your Love Story, that's always fun for me and for you and your guests. I love what I do and I love my couples, each one of different and my job is to make sure they love their ceremony too! My vibe is kind of like your cool Auntie Heidi!

No, I don't offer premarital counseling and I don't require it. I do suggest if you feel that you need it, there's amazing professional marriage and family counselors who will help you. I'm always here for my couples as someone who has had an amazing relationship with their husband for over 25 years and can share personal advice from my relationship. Unfortunately, there are officiants that do not have credentials to be a MFT (marriage and family therapist). They will offer to charge you for a program that asks each of you some questions and gives generic advice. It's not real premarital counseling.

I started working as a professional wedding planner in 2010 for my photographer husband's couples. In 2016, I hired two of the top female wedding officiants in California to mentor me. Since then, I have created over 670 personal wedding ceremonies, most with me writing their Love Story! I still love what I do and stay in touch with my couples.

Of course, I can! The only thing I need for my records, for the state of California would be a copy of your certified marriage license proving that you were legally married.

With my packages, there are many options to personalize your ceremony. With my top package the ceremony is 100% customizable along with me writing your Love Story. The other package has personalizations and has a short love story.

I'm known for walking my couples through their ceremony as it is happening. Also most venues have an onsite coordinator who leads the rehearsal. Traditionally, the ceremony isn't practiced. The only thing being rehearsed is the order of the wedding party, walking up the aisle and where they stand up at the arch. Then the couple practicing the kiss and the order the wedding party walks out. Unless it's a very complicated ceremony with unusual things happening, you won't need me to be at the rehearsal. If you want me to be there, the cost is $175 depending on my availability.
