Married by a Sea Captain

Rancho Mirage, CA
  • Offers 9 ceremony types
  • Starts at $850
  • Serves California

I am a retired professional with a background in law and hospitality, holding degrees from Brigham Young University, Wake Forest University, and UNC School of Law. After officiating weddings in South Florida, I moved to Rancho Mirage to be near my grandchildren. I love helping couples create memorable, meaningful ceremonies. As a U.S. Coast Guard-licensed captain, I bring a relaxed, personal touch to every wedding, making your special day unique and enjoyable.

Captain Ray made our wedding so special! My husband and I got married on the Intracoastal in Fort Lauderdale, Florida and Captain Ray was our officiant. I thought it would be cool and fitting to have a boat captain marry us, but Captain Ray was so much more than that. Before our wedding, he met with us over coffee to get to know us and our "love story". It felt like we were getting together with a friend or family member that we'd always known. The conversation flowed and Captain Ray knew all the questions to ask so he could write a ceremony that was thoughtful, personal, and special to us - and he sure did! The words he wrote were beautiful and his delivery was genuine. All of our guests complimented the ceremony and said how wonderful Captain Ray was. My husband and I "tied the knot" (a Fisherman's Knot!) during our ceremony which was suggested by Captain Ray and it was such a unique and fun touch. My husband and I watch our ceremony from time to time and we really owe it all to Captain Ray for making one of the best moments of our lives as beautiful as it was. Thank you Captain!

Vibrant and warmhearted Officiant Heidi, creates authentic ceremonies filled with romance, love, and laughter. She will capture your personal love story. Heidi has married over 1300 people since 2016.

Heidi is an absolute gem of a human. She came recommended to us by our wedding photographers and was the perfect officiant for our LA elopement. We felt a connection to her from the very beginning and she made us feel like family. Over the course of several months, we worked together on crafting our personalized ceremony that included a hand fasting and tarot card pull. We then completed a questionnaire that was used to tell our love story. I was genuinely taken aback at the heartfelt way our answers wove together to tell the story of our relationship. I should also mention how meaningful it was that our final tarot card that we pulled was The Heirophant - literally the marriage card. It made our ceremony feel even more magical! We are so grateful for her involvement in making our day perfect — and we are glad to call her Aunt Heidi!

Born in Australia, lived in Scotland, I've now been in the US for 10 years, I presided over my first wedding in 2016. Being asked by two of my oldest friends changed my life forever. But I was crazy nervous. That first ceremony elicited something inside of me I never expected. I LOVED, love! I had a feeling of pride and community I'd never experienced before. More and more friends asked me to officiate their weddings over the years until I finally said "frick it, maybe this is my thing." Becoming an officiant has been one of the most rewarding things I've done, experiencing your marriage ceremony with you is now something I look forward to.

Thank you so much Sam! Sam blended a perfect script together for our ceremony by just asking a few questions. An amazing story of love came of it, and we couldn’t have asked for a better officiant to help share it with our friends and family. Sam made it comfortable and fun throughout the process, starting from the one on one video pre interview, to writing the script for the ceremony and sharing it with us, to the day of the ceremony where it was executed superbly. Thanks Sam, truly appreciate your contribution to our special day!

Dani was an amazing officiant. We got so many compliments on how personal the ceremony was, and she was a pleasure to work with. She took a lot of care in making sure she spoke we multiple times over the phone (we were from out of town), and ensured we were happy with the final ceremony script. She was professional but had that extra hint of care. She also filed our marriage license the next business day, which was very much appreciated. She has a lot of experience in doing rooms in the Santa Barbara Courthouse. Thank you again Dani!

Hawthorne, 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.

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.

What I love about being an officiant is getting to know my couples. What their hopes and dreams are as individuals and as a couple.

My ceremonies are always as individual as my couples. Every relationship is special and unique and I enjoy creating and sharing how you both got to this day, this moment. 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.

I Do X Two

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.

I just had my wedding on July 5th and used I Do X Two’s services, with Saundra as our officiant. From the beginning, she took extensive time and care to craft a personalized ceremony that reflected both me and my now-husband perfectly. Saundra met with us beforehand to hear our love story and get to know us both individually and as a couple. She made sure our voices were heard and that our wishes for the ceremony were thoughtfully incorporated. I consider myself spiritual but not religious, while my husband was raised in a religious family and has his own way of practicing it. Saundra reassured us that despite our differences, she would be able to blend both of our beliefs into a ceremony that honored us equally—and she absolutely delivered. My husband also shared some of his concerns with Saundra, including potential areas of conflict, and she responded with understanding and grace, sharing how she’s helped other couples navigate similar situations. When the big day arrived, Saundra was incredible. She led the ceremony with such beauty, calm, and confidence—it flowed seamlessly. She was organized, warm, and extremely helpful throughout the entire process. She even offered to print our vows on the most gorgeous cardstock and supported us with the ceremony’s flow to ensure everything went perfectly. After the ceremony, Saundra took care of our marriage license, ensuring everything was completed and submitted properly. Our guests and both of our families couldn’t stop raving about how beautiful the ceremony was and how wonderful Saundra made it feel. All this to say: choose I Do X Two. You’ll have a stunning ceremony, guests who are moved and impressed, and hearts that are full! Thank you so much Saundra!

Shannon serves the Temecula/Murrieta area, North San Diego, and Palm Springs/Palm Desert area, and is willing to travel beyond. With 35 years in beauty, 20+ years in wellness, and 3 years officiating over 100 ceremonies, she brings unique experience to your special day. Shannon writes every ceremony from scratch after getting to know you through "Get to Know Each Other" calls. She handles all paperwork and logistics, making your wedding, elopement, or vow renewal completely stress-free.

Working with Shannon was one of the very best decisions we made for our wedding day. She went far beyond what we ever expected from an officiant and made our ceremony not only beautiful, but truly personal and unforgettable. From the very beginning, she took the time to get to know us as a couple, guiding us through a meditation and visualization session that helped us get clear on what we wanted our ceremony to feel like. That experience alone brought us closer together and set the tone for everything that followed. On the day of our wedding, she arrived early and was a calming, grounding presence for me as I got ready. She even led me through a short breathwork session that helped ease my nerves and allowed me to feel centered before walking down the aisle. Throughout the ceremony, her words were heartfelt, perfectly tailored to us, and delivered with so much warmth and grace. What stood out most was how she made sure every detail flowed seamlessly. Honestly, she played a role even more important than my maid of honor in keeping me grounded and ensuring everything went smoothly. Because of her care, presence, and thoughtful guidance, our day was absolutely perfect. If you are looking for someone who will not just officiate, but truly honor and elevate your ceremony with heart, intention, and love, I cannot recommend Shannon enough. She is extraordinary.

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.

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.

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 am passionate about officiating creative, soulful ceremonies about you and your relationship that also include a touch of fun. No template weddings here! I believe your ceremony should be about you - personal to your style and your story.

Roxanne is unparalleled at her craft. It's no surprise she has copious 5-star reviews on this platform and rave reviews across the internet. We cannot recommend Roxanne enough. She was responsive, easy to work with, understood our vision and made every ceremonial decision (from choosing her to special touches) easier than we ever could have imagined. What's more? Her clever, sweet, directive, kind, compassionate and authoritative approach makes her a dream wedding partner amidst so much stress. Roxanne is thorough yet doesn't overcomplicate. She's witty yet sincere in her delivery. When we left the ceremony space, my mother and multiple other guests said that it was the most beautiful ceremony they had ever been to. It was because Roxanne was at the helm. Her stage presence is entertaining, her storytelling engaging, and her tone understated enough to ensure the bride and groom shine at every moment. We love Roxanne and she'll be a special part of our wedding journey forever. Don't think any further, just book with her. Hugs to all the brides and grooms to be, I know this is an overwhelming process. Roxanne will make it all better.

Hi, I'm David Gomes Your Officiant! Every couple comes with a unique story, a unique path that has brought them together, I'm here to make your story officially tie in together! I'm a fun, professional and seasoned Wedding Officiant in the Bay Area, Livermore Wine Valley and also serving the Burbank and Los Angeles Areas. From the most intimate Elopements to the most elaborate and Fun & Heartfelt Ceremonies, I provide you an experience that will reflect your personality, your story.

David was amazing! He provided three services for our wedding. He was our minister for the ceremony, the DJ during our reception, and his wife also ran a photo booth. My wife and I highly recommend their services. Leading up to our wedding day, David provided incredibly helpful suggestions in planning our ceremony and reception. In addition to the phone calls and emails, communicating all the details was made very simple through an online portal. It made selecting music and building out our ceremony and reception easy. My wife and I loved the speech he prepared for our ceremony and our guests all loved the music and photo booth. We gladly recommend their services to our family, friends, and anyone planning a wedding.

Our joy is to offer mystical, inclusive wedding ceremonies for wild souls and sacred love. Our wedding officiant Danny Bias, has over 15 years experience in the wedding industry. Danny was featured on season 15 of Married At First Sight, he married Miguel & Lindy. He is plant medicine experienced & informed. Danny is here to guide you in creating a ceremony that truly resonates with your entire being, your body, mind, and spirit. Whether it’s a forest hand fasting or a post ayahuasca vow, Danny is intentional and passionate about crafting sacred spaces for sacred ceremonies. Let us help guide in your ceremony planning process!

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.
