Love Story Vows

  • Serves Escondido, 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 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!

Married by a Sea Captain

  • Offers 9 ceremony types
  • Starts at $850
  • Serves Escondido, 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.

L + A Union Ceremonies

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

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.

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!
