Wedding Officiants in Dana Point, CA

Our Weddings are done the Cowboy way with simple but straight forward values. We love what we do, and enjoy customizing your ceremony just for you. We guarantee your guests have never seen one like it before. In addition to officiating, we offer our own creation; the "Branding Ceremony." We work with you to design a cowboy brand which becomes your wedding logo and can be used on your website, napkins, invites etc. It becomes your theme if you wish. We forge a real branding iron and during the marriage ceremony we break and pay tribute to anyone special in your life. The story of you is told and how you got here today. Its an inclusive beautiful way to say thank you to those that "brung ya" to the dance. Together we take the iron from the fire, and brand the leather attached to pieces of barn-wood. Sizzle, smoke and fire fill the air, and from then on the couple will "ride for their very own brand." There is more...... but know this; its as fun and creative as it is individualized and emotional, all surrounded with honor and promise, gratitude and love. It's just the Cowboy Way. Its different, not new or just the latest thing, its a reminder of what life is all about. The simplicity and the inclusion of family has in the previous ceremonies healed many bygones and marked the day for family togetherness. Nothing could make us happier than bringing the best out of folks who love one another.
