About Today We Become One

Today We Become One

Award-Winning Officiants

Today We Become One specializes in personalized destination ceremonies throughout Southern California and beyond. We bring the ceremony to you—whether it’s a desert backdrop, private estate, beach, or venue of your choice—creating an experience that reflects your moment and your story. From intimate elopements to larger gatherings, each ceremony is custom-crafted with the same care and attention to detail. We offer flexible options including bilingual officiants, sound support, and guidance throughout the process. Whether you’re planning ahead or need something sooner, we make it simple, meaningful, and tailored from start to finish.

We focus on the ceremony itself—making sure it feels personal, not scripted or rushed. Every ceremony is custom-written and built around your story, your tone, and your priorities. With years of experience and thousands of ceremonies performed, we know how to adapt to any setting, timeline, or situation without losing the moment. We also offer guidance beyond the ceremony, including vow support and marriage license options, so everything flows smoothly. You won’t get a one-size-fits-all approach. You’ll get a ceremony that feels like it was made specifically for you—because it is.

In three words: Calm, Flexible, Reassuring

    I couldn’t say enough positive things about today we become one and especially Reverend Steve. We organised our Palm Springs wedding from the UK and everything was so well organised, easy to manage and they were always on hand if we needed them. Reverend Steve took special care and attention to ensure our special day was exactly how we wanted it. Everyone on the day commented on how wonderful the service was and what a fantastic person Steve was. I truly cannot recommend them enough. Thank you for making our day so magical

    ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Rev. Steve was absolutely wonderful to work with. From the very beginning, he was kind, professional, responsive, and genuinely invested in making our ceremony special. Even though we were having a destination wedding, our venue was still within his area, and he graciously made the commute to be there for us. We truly appreciated his flexibility and willingness to be part of our day. He took the time to understand what was important to us and delivered our ceremony perfectly. It was heartfelt, meaningful, and exactly what we had envisioned. His calm and reassuring presence helped put us at ease, and he made the entire experience feel natural and effortless. We received so many compliments from our guests about how beautiful the ceremony was. We are so grateful that Rev. Steve was part of such an important moment in our lives. Thank you, Rev. Steve, for helping make our wedding day so memorable. 🤍

    Priscilla and Kyle, thank you for the wonderful review! Officiating your ceremony at The Parker was an absolute highlight. I know planning a destination wedding comes with its own set of challenges, so I was more than happy to make the trip to ensure your ceremony felt personal and seamless. It was a pleasure working with you to bring your vision to life, and I’m so happy to hear that your guests felt the warmth and meaning of the day. You two are a fantastic couple, and I’m honored you chose me to be part of your big day. Cheers to a beautiful life together! -Rev. Steve

    This was the absolute best, most memorable, intimate and moving ceremony we’ve ever seen or experienced with a officiant. Reverend Steve was so in tune with our wishes and hopes. He personalized it and improvised where needed. He fulfilled every request we had including the music. He was on time and he made us feel so special and comfortable. If you are considering booking someone for a wedding or vow renewal- I highly recommend him! We were both so moved we were in tears- Tears of joy! 10 out of 10!!

    What can I Say Steve was such an incredible help when trying to plan our very last minute Wedding Ceremony he is such a hands on and helpful person. We were able to pull off a 38 person wedding event with only 2 weeks of planning. Including getting our Marriage license they made it such an easy process for us. We have no complaints and love the details and passion they have for creating such beautiful ceremonies. Love the way they just really know from paper work to decorations how to get the best result possible.. even on a short notice. You can’t go wrong. Thank you so much from the Nelsons

Reverend Steve and our team believe that every couple deserves a meaningful and seamless celebration—no matter the timeline! We're thrilled to hear that you felt supported throughout the process, from paperwork to the final details. Your joy is exactly why we do what we do. Wishing the Nelsons a lifetime of love and happiness! 💕🎉 Warmest regards, The Today We Become One Team
