We were incredibly fortunate to have Parisa as our wedding officiant, and it’s difficult to capture just how profoundly she shaped the experience. Not only did she officiate the ceremony, she sang during our recessional and it was absolutely the highlight of our wedding! From the moment she stepped forward, she carried the room with a presence that was both grounding and luminous, setting an energy that made everyone instinctively settle in and listen. What made the ceremony so powerful was the months of devotion Parisa poured into preparing for it. She didn’t treat the planning as a task; she treated it as a stewardship. She asked thoughtful questions, listened deeply, and took the time to understand not just our story, but the emotional truth of it. Every conversation with her felt like she was weaving another thread into something meaningful. By the time the day arrived, you could feel her care in every moment. Her speech was beautifully written, personal, and delivered with a sincerity that left a deep impression on our guests. And then she led the audience in song, creating a wonderful moment of connection between all our loved ones. This made for an incredibly special memory that defines our day when I look back on it! Having Parisa sing so beautifully during our recessional took the mood from ceremonial to celebratory. She also carried herself with total intention and elegance. She looked fabulous that day. She chose every detail with care and consulted with me, from her dress down to the color of her folio, honoring the role and the moment. Her presence elevated the ceremony visually as much as emotionally. If you want an officiant who brings supreme artistry, heart, professionalism, and a rare emotional depth, Parisa is exceptional. She didn’t just help us get married, she spiritually led and shaped one of the most joyful days of our lives. She is a singular light and will thoroughly imbue your day with her magic!

Jeff created such a thoughtful ceremony. The perfect amount of story telling and humor, with our love at the center. It was beautifully tailored to us. He is professional, organized, timely, and well spoken. Cannot recommend more highly!

Vince is a very kind, welcoming and warm person. He put together just the right words for our ceremony and we had a lovely hand fastening by the ocean. He handled all the details afterwards as well. We couldn’t have chosen a better person to have had in our special day.

Ryan from Weddings Royale is an extraordinary officiant and MC! We were recommended a few different officiants to pick from in Southern California and the very instant we spoke with Ryan we knew he would be perfect! He exudes expertise and professionalism, and is an all-round amazing guy! Ryan helped guide us through every step of the way, providing invaluable tips to help us with the ceremony. He not only slam-dunked the ceremony as the officiant but absolutely nailed it as the MC for our reception. People are still raving about how brilliant Ryan was, and we could not be more grateful to him. There are many officiants and MCs to choose from out, but there is only one that we would highly recommend for your wedding day, and that is Ryan Kingsman! Thank you so much! Harry and James

It was everything we wanted outside under a tree with the cruise ship in the background, after the wedding we boarded the ship for 5 days perfect. The ceremony was exactly what we wanted 15 minutes non religious and about us and our many years 49 to remarry each other.

Hiring Ernie as our wedding officiant was the best decision we made! Where to begin? From the moment I met Ernie, he was extremely funny, charming and witty. He set up an hour long FaceTime call with me and my husband where he really took the time to get to know us, what kind of people we are and what we value in each other— and then he used that information to craft a highly personalized ceremony, which was lengthy, full, super accurate, and hilarious. It was so personalized, in fact, that several of my guests thought that Ernie was a family friend. Others thought that I gave him a script to read off from, because it was so perfect and accurate. But in reality, I had no idea what was going on. He wanted his ceremony to be a surprise, and asked us to trust him that he would make something beautiful. And he did! There wasn’t a dry eye in the audience, but he also injected enough wit to make everyone laugh out loud. He helped us every step of the way with our vows and ceremony, even though we were super clueless going into this process. He suggested several things to make the ceremony more interesting, like a wine box ceremony, giving roses to our parents — and even went as far to ask my MIL and husband if it was okay to dedicate a few words about my FIL, who passed away a few years ago. That was very considerate and my MIL was so touched by it. She kept speaking of Ernie with such fondness after the wedding. But as an added bonus to the wonderful ceremony, every single email from Ernie was an absolute delight to read, and I became super excited whenever I received a new message from him. He seems wise beyond his years and has an otherworldly charm of some sort. I am convinced he is the reason why it didn’t rain on my wedding day. His prices are extremely reasonable, too. I saw other officiants would charge you extra for something personalized, another extra fee for consultation, and yet another extra for attending your rehearsal. Not Ernie! He has one flat fee for literally everything you could ever want from an officiant. He came to the rehearsal without an additional cost and took charge of the process— helping the wedding party with what to do, answering questions, making everyone feel comfortable, and making sure everything went smoothly (this was especially helpful when I noticed that the day-of-coordinator was struggling to control the situation). He also did not stress me about payments and wouldn’t even talk about how to pay him until after the wedding. He kept telling me to not worry about it until later, and didn’t charge me until after I got back from the honeymoon. I got the sense that he is truly passionate about his job and doesn’t do this just for the money. He sent me and my husband a full printed copy of our ceremony along with a handwritten card, too. Wedding planning was hard, but working with Ernie over the last 9 months made it worth it. Interacting with him was definitely the most fun part about the whole thing. Do not look any further than Ernie. Hire him and he will make your wedding day fabulous.
