Specialized Wedding Services, situated in the exquisite Palm Springs, California area, is a nondenominational, religious and interfaith wedding ministry. It was created over 20-years ago, so that the discriminating bride and groom might express their loving commitment to one another in a unique and truly beautiful wedding ceremony. Each ceremony reflects you as a couple — your love, your relationship, your beliefs and values.

Specialized Wedding Services has two licensed, ordained interfaith ministers to serve you. The warm pleasant manner of both Reverend Virginia and Reverend Stan coupled with their delightful presentation brings to life the wedding of your dreams. Reverend Virginia and Reverend Stan only officiate at one wedding on any given day. A sound system may be provided, so all your guests will hear the entire ceremony. Additionally, Specialized Wedding Services maintains Commercial General Liability Insurance coverage. We invite you to tell us about your wedding, when you check our availability!

One of Reverend Stan’s specialties is the blending of Jewish and Catholic or Christian and Jewish wedding ceremonies.  These ceremonies are presented in such fashion so as to offend no one, while, at the same time, celebrating both traditions.  Whether Jewish or Christian, the guests come away from this truly beautiful ceremony having learned more about the traditions of both religions.  Additionally, Reverend Stan reads several blessings and other passages in the Hebrew language and wears a kippot and tallit for this type ceremony.  You may wish to ask Reverend Stan about the unique Jewish Ring Ceremony.  The wedding ring is first placed on the index finger, or heart finger, of the right hand, before it is voluntarily moved to the ring finger of the left hand.  Of course, Reverend Stan is also called upon to officiate at Catholic, Christian and Jewish wedding ceremonies, as well as nondenominational and civil ceremonies.

Adding the very touching and memorable Rose Ceremony, Unity Candle, Breaking the Glass, a Children’s Ceremony or something still different — something the bride and groom alone have created, further enhances our wedding ceremonies. In the alternative, for those already married, you may wish to consider a Renewal of Vows Ceremony, a commitment to a loving lifestyle and a reawakening to future years together.

As our gift to you, you will be sent a Certified Copy of your Marriage License directly from the Recorder’s Office, and as a final remembrance, we present the bride and groom with a beautifully bound and printed copy of their wedding ceremony — a keepsake to cherish forever.

Come to the Palm Springs, California area and enjoy the sumptuous lifestyle of the desert communities — the many country clubs, hotels, spas, golf courses, tennis gardens and casinos — the lifestyle of the rich and famous!
