Wedding Officiants in Bay Area, CA

Weddings: I take pride in creating a very personal ceremony for my couples. I believe your wedding ceremony should reflect your individual personalities and celebrate your love for one another. Specializing in non-denominational celebrations, I will incorporate your cultural traditions upon request. I will help craft a ceremony that your guests will remember as personal, unique, and fun. I’m an LGBTQ+ ally. Funerals/Celebrations of life: I will lovingly officiate the start of the funeral to graveside service. I will help you write a eulogy and coach those who may want to speak , or I can speak on behalf of your family/extended family if the time comes and it’s too difficult. I will meet with designated members of your family to learn everything I can about your loved one who has passed. I will honor your cultural traditions or create a non-denominational celebration to honor and respect your loved ones. Pricing varies depending on your needs.

The FOCUS is to make your wedding day the most memorable and special day of your life. Each ceremony and vows are customized for YOU especially.

First and foremost, congratulations on your engagement!! If you're looking for an experienced officiant/celebrant to create a ceremony uniquely your own, you've found "your person"! I got my start over 10 years ago when I was sworn in as a Deputy Marriage Commissioner for Alameda County, then I went out on my own because civil ceremonies are...well... let's just say they are cookie-cutter. I wanted to work with clients to create a ceremony that they'd enjoy and remember for years to come so I went out on my own. I like to start by scheduling a "get acquainted" call via Google Meets or Zoom call so you can decide if I'm a good fit for you both. I suggest you interview more than one officiant. If we're a "go", we'll sign an agreement, a 50% deposit will be made and your date will then go 'in ink' on my calendar. Happy to share the remaining details during our call. My pricing starts at $400, add-ons depend on what other services you may need ("day of" coordination/photography for INTIMATE sized weddings only), also commute traffic considerations, whether or not you want me there for rehearsal, mileage, tolls and parking, if applicable. Again, congratulations and thanks for your consideration! I hope to hear from you.
