Married by a Sea Captain 

5.0

  • Offers 9 ceremony types
  • Starts at $850
  • Serves Calimesa, CA

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.

We were married in Palm Beach in February 2022, and because my husband is a yacht captain, we knew we wanted a sea captain to officiate our wedding. We found Captain Ray online and from our very first meeting, we knew we had made the right choice. He took the time to learn our love story, understand our vision, and work closely with us to create a beautiful interfaith ceremony with nautical touches that felt deeply personal and meaningful. Captain Ray blended warmth, professionalism, and charm, making both us and our guests feel completely at ease. Our ceremony was exactly what we hoped for — heartfelt, unique, and a true reflection of us. We are so grateful for his guidance and presence on our special day and highly recommend him to any couple looking for an officiant who truly listens, cares, and delivers a memorable experience.

Dearly Beloved

  • Offers 9 ceremony types

Dearly Beloved is a professional wedding officiant service devoted to crafting heartfelt, personalized, and inclusive ceremonies. I believe every love story is unique and deserves to be celebrated with care and intention. Whether your vibe is romantic, playful, spiritual, or secular—I work closely with you to ensure your ceremony reflects you. I love love, and I take immense pride in helping couples from all backgrounds feel seen, honored, and celebrated on one of the most meaningful days of their lives.

Dearly Beloved was the perfect choice for our wedding officiant. From the moment we first spoke with Joel, their communication style was sincere, efficient, and thoughtful. The quality of his work was high, thoroughly researched, and deeply compassionate. He went above and beyond to incorporate special traditions from my cultural background, as well as including our family and friends in meaningful ways throughout the ceremony. Joel was kind, happy, and lovable, and truly made our special day even more magical. We couldn't have asked for a better officiant to guide us through this momentous occasion.

Love Story Vows 

5.0

  • Offers 9 ceremony types
  • Starts at $395
  • Serves Calimesa, CA

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 1200 people since 2016.

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!

L + A Union Ceremonies 

5.0

  • Offers 10 ceremony types
  • Starts at $700
  • Serves Calimesa, 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.

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.

Hi, I’m Yvonne — Lead Officiant - Founder, and your personal hype woman for one of the biggest moments of your life. I am Texas based and I’ve married over 400 couples, and no two love stories have ever been the same. I started officiating as a tribute to my sister, who passed away unexpectedly in 2023. She loved us all deeply and wholeheartedly, and celebrating life’s big moments without her was the hardest part of losing her. Helping couples honor their journey and love story has been my way of healing — one beautiful, heartfelt ceremony at a time. Whether your vows are traditional, bilingual, or totally outside the box, I’m here for it. ♥

Do yourself a favor and hire this officiant! The process was excellent start to finish! Yvonne got to know our story and created the most unique and beautiful ceremony, readings and vows for us for our elopement. We were both in tears! This was the perfect blend of lighthearted fun and sentimental touches and conveyed what was meaningful and important to us on our wedding day. We were completely blown away. Communication: 10/10 Timeliness: 10/10 Vibe (Yvonne has great energy): 10/10 Service: 10/10 I don’t care who you are…this is your officiant!
