Hola, I'm Ernesto (He/Him/Él), and I'm The Out Officiant. My journey as a wedding officiant began in 2019 when I was honored to officiate my friends' wedding. Since then, I've had the privilege of solemnizing many more weddings and I'd be more than happy to help with yours. I'm ordained by the Universal Life Church, and having gone through my own wedding planning in 2023, I understand firsthand the stress and excitement of preparing for such a special day. My goal is to alleviate some of that stress for you, ensuring that your ceremony is a joyous and memorable occasion. As a gay Latino, I know how challenging it can be to find identity-affirming and LGBTQ+ friendly wedding professionals. I lead with my heart on my sleeve, bringing authenticity, compassion, and understanding to every ceremony I officiate. My first officiated wedding was a queer marriage, and I've since had the pleasure of performing bilingual (Spanish and English), interfaith, and multicultural weddings. At The Out Officiant, inclusivity and personal connection are at the core of my services. I’m here to support you and your partner, making sure your ceremony reflects your unique love story. Let’s work together to create a beautiful, stress-free wedding day that you’ll cherish forever. To ensure transparency in pricing, please take a moment to check out my FAQs—my fee is based on the distance from El Cerrito, not a flat rate! DM me here or on IG @theoutofficiant with any questions. Looking forward to celebrating your love together!

After 10 years and over 250 weddings, my passion for working with couples to help them celebrate one of the most important days of their lives, continues to drive my enthusiasm, and dedication to my clients. I delight in getting to know each couple to ensure a beautiful and personalized ceremony. Together, we will bring "your vision" to your wedding day. I have performed many different types of weddings, from traditional Christian to more contemporary and uniquely creative ceremonies. I always strive to make your wedding ceremony the most beautiful and memorable experience possible. Weddings are very personal and unique; here is what one client shared about working with Guidance and Grace: “One of the happiest things at our wedding was having Christopher as our officiant. He made our simple and small wedding more formal and dignified. He gave us step-by-step advice and professional guidance, leading us, a foreign couple, through the wedding ceremony. When I was too emotional to continue reading my vows, he would gently remind me to take a deep breath and give me support through eye contact, which was really helpful for me. All the guests wanted us to convey their thanks to Christopher. He made everyone enjoy the wedding. We love him 100% and recommend him 100%.💗 I look forward to the privilege of working with you.

Your wedding day is one of the most special days of your life and the ceremony should be one to remember. I will work with you to customize your wedding ceremony. One that will reflect your love, personality and commitment to one another. I also can perform a bilingual wedding or all Spanish wedding.
