Judith married us on Labor Day at Cypress Meadows in Moss Beach. She did a fantastic job on all accounts! I particularly appreciated her calm advice and support as we drafted our ceremony and personalized it just for us. She was more than willing to help us add unique touches like Tibetan bells, calling in the four directions, doing a group vow and so much more! Judith is also very efficient - which was great since we were both so pressed for time while planning a wedding and my having a new job.

Last, we lost the sound on our video of the ceremony and Judith went above and beyond by "re-recording" the ceremony so it could be edited in.

Highly recommend her!

We cannot recommend Judith enough for all the she has given us! Our wedding day was truly amazing and magical. Just one week prior to our wedding, our previous officiator called us to inform us that she could not conduct our wedding and provided no back up per our agreement. In a panic, I found Judith's website and fell in love with the warmth in just her photos. We met with her in person just day's before our wedding. She was just amazing. With such short notice, it was as if nothing had ever happened. She was able to assist us in finding a the perfect location, music, and assisted us with our custom ceremony. We are truly blessed and so very grateful for Judith! With so much appreciation for the best ceremony ever - Kathy and Veronica.

Judith is very professional and friendly. She has the experience to know what can go wrong and she asks the questions beforehand to make sure none of it happens.She met everyone and made them feel very comfortable before the wedding.

Great officiant!

Judith Malear is one of the most kindhearted people by nature, that I know. She has always been warm and friendly at every wedding that we've worked together, and she's the same if we run into each other at the market. Anyone who works with Judith of Pacific Coast Weddings as their wedding officiant knows that she is accommodating to all of their needs, while performing her services professionally, and with loving care. Judith is very easy to be around, and always puts clients and co-workers at ease, but at the same time she knows when it's time to take control. I enjoy working with her, and know that no matter what type of wedding service one wants, she will deliver. In one case, it was a Halloween wedding, where Judith dressed the part to officiate for "Frankenstein" and his bride. She let them paint her face green. It was joyful and fun. I can safely say that those who work with Judith, or is fortunate enough to have her as their officiant enjoys the experience, and comes away with incredible memories.
