  "The most beautiful wedding ceremony we've ever been to"

  That's what we heard from every single one of our guests for our intimate ceremony of around 50 guests at the Santa Barbara Courthouse in July 2023.
  
  Gail worked with my now-husband and I to create the most touching and personal wedding ceremony for us over the course of about 6 months. She put so much thought and effort into writing our ceremony for us and while we were not local to the area, she was able to Zoom with us beforehand to go over all the details with us and tweak the things we would like to change to make it truly US. We asked for a special way to honor my husband's children from his previous marriage and she was more than accommodating and even worked with my father independently so that he could surprise us with a special heartfelt reading during our ceremony.
  
  We asked for a brief rehearsal the day before since our bridal party included children and she was extremely kind and generous with her time in answering any and all questions the kids (and all the adults!) had about the ceremony.
  
  She filed our paperwork very quickly and about 10 days later we already have our official license in hand!
  
  I could not recommend Gail enough to anyone and everyone getting married in the Santa Barbara area.

  Wonderful Officiant!! Highly Recommend!!

  Gail recently performed our ceremony in the Mural Room at the Santa Barbara Courthouse. Not only did she provide us with a beautiful service, every word that she spoke resonated with us, and our guests (who were shedding tears of joy throughout.) Gail had fantastic suggestions for our ceremony, all of which we ended up incorporating. Although we had a very small wedding, several of our guests spoke with her before the ceremony and later reported to us how wonderful and relatable she was in their conversation. Gail even ended up having some contacts in common with my Godmother, and my Husband. We feel that she was absolutely meant to be part of our day, and are so grateful to her.

  On July 4th, Rod and I were married by in our home by Gail Kelly Murray. We wanted a small and intimate wedding with our loved ones present and Gail provided the most warm, lovely and heartfelt ceremony possible. Gail stayed in contact with us up to the date, making sure that everything that we wanted would be included in our special day. She offered the most beautiful vows - as if they were written just for us! We feel so fortunate that Gail was able to officiate at our wedding!

  We hired her only a week before the wedding because our chaplain was deployed. She did an amazing job with meeting up with us, making it to the rehearsal last minute and with the ceremony. She kept to everything I wanted and there were no surprises. I would definitely recommend.

  Gail was amazing! She was willing to drive down to Ventura for our wedding and rehearsal and was so great to work with. She really captured our thoughts and feelings in the vows she prepared for us.

  Gail was a pleasure to work with. We had a non denominational wedding and asked her to dress formally, instead of wearing a typical ceremonial gown. And she did with all smiles! The wedding couldn't have been more perfect, and I thank Gail for her professionalism and knowledge! I would highly recommend Gail to officiate!

  Gail Kelley Murray was the best choice I could have made when picking an officiant for my wedding. She will customize your ceremony however you like and won't make u do any counseling appointments! She even dressed to match! Very reliable as well would definitely recommend her!

  Gail was absolutely amazing. She was professional and has a sense of humor that my husband and I enjoyed. The service was just the right length, not too long; not too short. Gail was very helpful during the process leading up to the wedding and was flexible regarding the way the wedding was performed. We threw a change into the works the day of the wedding and she didn't blink an eye. I don't plan to marry again since I found my man but, if I ever did, I would have no qualms calling Gail.

  Gail was absolutely perfect! We were married at a waterfall that required a short hike, she totally understood what we were all about and matched the tone we wanted to set.

  We were so happy to find Gail...we had her officiate a private ceremony for our renewal in Solvang. She responded to every single question and communication right away with really only what I can describe as a lot of heart. She is so naturally warm and has a genuineness that we deeply appreciated and she was the perfect flexible balance between formality and spontaneity -- she has an easy humor. She gave us the perfect experience. 5 stars in every way.

  My husband and I met Gail Kelley Murray when she officiated at my sister and her husband's wedding. We liked her very much so we asked her if she would be willing to officiate at our wedding. She said, 'yes!' Even though the wedding would take place 100 miles away. We talked over the phone and corresponded via email. We did not want the traditional wedding vows so Gail helped us write the perfect vows for us. Gail is very kind, a good listener and easy to work with. We highly recommend her for any event!
