I am a non-denominational officiant ordained by the Universal Life Church, and offer creative, inclusive and compassionate sacred and/or non-religious ceremonies taking into account the clients' ideals, wishes, and desires. Love Celebrations by Gaye are designed to suit the clients' belief system, welcoming clients' creative input, and with as much or as little of traditional ceremonies as you desire. It is our aim to please and astound you and your guests with memorable celebrations of life's most precious moments. I require a 50% retainer fee up front for initiating preparation of your preliminary script. When you hire me as your officiant, the other half of your fee is due 15 days prior to your wedding date (if applicable). Also, please be advised that I am fully vaccinated and three times boosted, and I offer clients an initial and/or preliminary meeting via Zoom to discuss preferences, details, etc. before the actual event which can be conducted in person as the clients and guests feel comfortable and safe, observing social distancing.

I create a beautiful ceremony that speaks to you, not just words you have heard before. A ceremony that is light, beautiful, meaningful, and memorable. I work with all belief systems. I serve all couples in Love. PS: I do not provide the wedding license. I love weddings. The opportunity to help two individuals come together as one to build a life is powerful and I get great joy in being chosen to assist them. Your wedding day is the most important day of your life and the wedding ceremony at its heart should be a beautiful expression of the joining of your hearts and lives in marriage. I believe at its very best, your wedding ceremony can not only be a true reflection of who you are and what is most meaningful to you individually and as a couple but will create an experience of inspiration and joy for all of your guests. As a trans-denominational Wedding Minister in Los Angeles, I embrace all beliefs, therefore I am able to draw on a wide variety of elements from near and far to create a wedding ceremony that will express your love and honor for each other and your beliefs in the best possible way.
