Married By Renne Wedding Officiant 

5.0

  • Offers 8 ceremony types
  • Starts at $550
  • Serves Santa Monica, CA

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.

Reverend Clint Hufft

  • Offers 9 ceremony types
  • Starts at $800
  • Serves Santa Monica, CA

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.

Fabian and Terry were exceptional! They took care of all the details on my wedding day, allowing me and my husband to relax and enjoy the day. I couldn’t have done it without them! They were behind the scenes the whole day making sure all the details were executed flawlessly including the reception, cake, flowers, ceremony, and even hauling our stuff from the church to our reception all while ensuring my grandparents were comfortable throughout the night. It ended up being a perfect, happy and stress free day knowing these two would handle any surprise that popped up along the way.

L + A Union Ceremonies 

5.0

  • Offers 10 ceremony types
  • Starts at $100
  • Serves Santa Monica, 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.
