Ariel

I became a wedding officiant because I love the meaning of weddings. They are a special day where loved ones gather around from near and far to celebrate a special and unique occurrence, it is simply amazing to be able to be a part of that. The ceremony is a central piece to the wedding, the words that are spoken and the promises that are made in front of so many witnesses is the binding contract that a couple makes. Making those words meaningful and personalized for each couple is something that I truly enjoy doing.
I am open to different beliefs, traditions and religions. I speak 5 languages and have performed various bilingual wedding ceremonies and ceremonies entirely in Spanish. I love embracing other cultures and ways of life, and find that this helps me to see things through other people's eyes. Generally, the ceremonies that I perform blend a lot of romantic sentiment with a touch of the light-hearted.
I would like to help you create a wedding ceremony that truly reflects who you are. Making your vision for your wedding ceremony a reality is my goal. I enjoy working with couples to create something that is meaningful and memorable for everyone.

Ana Requena was our officiant at our wedding last weekend in Santa Barbara. She was fantastic! She was very easy to work with throughout the process and was very professional. Great value as well. I would highly recommend Ana if you are getting married in the Santa Barbara area!
