Married By Renne Wedding Officiant 

5.0

Winnetka, CA
  • Offers 8 ceremony types
  • Starts at $550
  • Serves California

My first wedding was for my best friend and her fiancé in November 2011. I was confident that I would do a great job, after all I was a theatre arts major and excelled in all my creative writing courses. I received many compliments on that ceremony. I considered officiating full time but I was a working mom with two children. Fast forward several years, those kids grew up and moved on and I was enjoying my retirement. I missed the joy and satisfaction of creating and performing. I decided to officiate full time. Every relationship is special and unique and I enjoy creating and sharing your love story. 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.

Hello there! I'm Patrick, a professional wedding officiant based in Paso Robles, California...Our little drinking town, with a farming problem...but I do travel! I take absolute delight in helping make your wedding ceremony just as you envisioned it. After all, it's your special day! In addition to working as an officiant, I'm also the owner of a distillery in Paso Robles, a voice-over specialist, and I have a multiple-subject teaching credential. That's right, the booze making officiant!

Patrick is amazing! He made everything so enjoyable and easy. He definitely kept things fun but still professional, both in first meeting him and on the day of the ceremony/during the ceremony. It was all super detailed to us as a couple. He's a really good dude inside and out. Very respectful too. We love this guy!

Say what you want to say. Hear what you want to hear. I'll meet with you as many times as you want. Every detail of your ceremony is important. "Thank you for the kind words and making our ceremony so thoughtful and stress free."

As a wedding planner I just love it when I can refer Reverend Clint to my couples. Reverend Clint has a special gift for helping couples feel deeply connected to their ceremonies and to one another and they always seem to fall in love all over again after one conversation with him. He has a magic way about him when my couples first talk with him, with his loving, kind, gentle and professional demeanor and then he gently guides my couples into crafting a deeply meaningful ceremony with words that feel personal and authentic to them. As a wedding planner, I'm always thrilled to refer Reverend Clint, because I know my couples will have the most wonderful sincere ceremony experience and say what they want to say and for me , he is just a delight to work with. He is Incredibly prepared on a wedding day . I never have to worry about Reverend Clint, as he is always on time, he checks in with photo and video and makes sure everyone knows exactly where each other is during the ceremony , so my couples get the best shots and I could not ask for more for my couples and for myself and my team. He is truly doing what he was meant to be doing in this world.

Santa Cruz Officiant

Santa Cruz, CA
  • Offers 10 ceremony types
  • Starts at $550
  • Serves California

Hi, I’m Naomi—a multi-award-winning wedding officiant known for ceremonies that feel like soul nourishment. I’m part marriage midwife, part mythic 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. Rooted in years of cross cultural study, I create inclusive, wildly meaningful, sacred but non-religious ceremonies. Guests swear I must be a family member or close friend. I’m a reverend gone rogue—innovating modern rites with heart, humor, and holy intention, and creating ceremonies that feel like home to you—and unforgettable to everyone else.

Naomi from Santa Cruz Officiant was an absolute pleasure to work with for our wedding. Her communication style was great - she was very personal in getting to know us as a couple, but never in an intrusive way. Naomi was diligent in following up on any phone calls or emails we had leading up to the big day. On the wedding day, Naomi's soft-spoken and calming presence really helped us feel grounded and present during the ceremony. She officiated our legal marriage and took care of submitting the paperwork for us. Naomi's words connected with us in a profound way, and I found myself balling with emotion just a sentence into my vows. Naomi offers a variety of ceremony options to fit different couples' needs and budgets, which we really appreciated. We highly recommend Naomi and Santa Cruz Officiant to any couple looking for a warm, personalized, and meaningful wedding ceremony experience.

L + A Union Ceremonies

Hawthorne, CA

  • Serves California

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.

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.

Blossoming love in Reno-Tahoe 🪻 Your trusted Wedding Officiant .. Hello! So pleased to e-meet you! My name is Brooke and simply put, I love love! I became an officiant because I adore connecting with people, I am a great talker (unfortunately and fortunately), I’m organized to a fault and I’m one of those crazy people that loves to attend weddings. I realized after my own special day that I could help couples bring their own wedding goals to reality. I may not be that great a dancer, as proven on many-a-dance floors but I am a great officiant and I cannot wait to be a part of your matrimony.

Lupine Ceremonies provided an exceptional experience for our wedding ceremony. Their communication style was clear, professional, and immediate, which put us at ease throughout the planning process. The quality of their work and the value they provided was truly exceptional - they were thoughtful, considerate, and went above and beyond to create a personalized ceremony that felt like we had known them for years. Lupine Ceremonies is a caring, kind, and considerate team that takes the time to get to know each couple in order to craft the best possible personalized ceremony.
