About

You have been dreaming about and planning your wedding day; you are investing a huge amount of money and hiring an officiant so this day can be perfect. But what about your marriage? My function is to also help you invest in your marriage and give you a strong foundation for the future.

I am a counselor through Prepare/Enrich and you have the option to complete an online marriage preparation questionnaire, guaranteeing that in our meeting we iron out any issues before your special day!

As a pastor I will spend time getting to know you through the marriage preparation and with your input craft a unique service to suit your needs. Besides an outline, you receive a file with hundreds of alternative options, readings, poems, and choices to tailor make your service.

Roche is engaging, energetic, tremendously flexible and gave excellent guidance for our ceremony. We wanted something non-denominational and non-traditional, and Roche delivered! He really helped us make the ceremony personal and unique, and we received a ton of complements on both the ceremony and Roche in particular. We could not have been happier with Roche as our officiant.

Dr. Roche Vermaak officiated our wedding in October, 2016. I literally had guests tell me that it was the best ceremony they have ever been to. Dr. Roche is not only one of the most knowledgeable pastors I know, he is also funny and kind and will bring a meaningful and authentic touch to your ceremony. I highly recommend him for officiating your wedding!

Roche was a pleasure to work with and we are so happy and honored that he officiated our wedding. Roche is kind, gentle, funny, caring, and surpassed our expectations on our wedding day. He gave us guidance where we needed and made our ceremony such an inclusive and happy experience. He included the children during the ceremony and they loved it. We highly recommend Roche! Thank you so much.

Don't hesitate. Just book Pastor Roche. He was one of the highlights of our wedding. All our guests loved his officiating.

Dr. Roche Vermaak was a pastor/minister in the church I grew up going to in West Los Angeles, so I knew he would do an exceptional job officiating my wedding. He did not disappoint, and in fact crushed expectations - the guests could not stop talking about how great he was. If you're looking for an extremely intelligent, articulate speaker who is very comfortable marrying people of different faiths/backgrounds, and who has a funny, fairly spontaneous delivery, then Roche is the right choice. He knew me fairly well already, but arranged a meeting and online survey to get to know us (and my husband in particular) better, and really spoke to our uniqueness as a couple. He also encouraged us to include unique/special elements in our ceremony. He had great instincts for creating an inspired, spiritually alive but inclusive event that touched a lot of people. Thanks, Roche!

Dr. Roche Vermaak was every couple wishes to have as Reverent at your Wedding, so personal, loving, passionate and caring. Our guests didn't talk about the food, service and music after the weeding they all were taken by our Ceremony which Dr. Roche Vermaak officiated. Thank you so much Roche.

Rev. Dr. Roché Vermaak was amazing!!! My husband and I were leaving in AZ. But my home is southern CA, so we wanted to get married here. Rev. Dr. Roché Vermaak worked with us to make sure we were able to have the wedding of our dreams and after meeting with us was able to create a beautiful wedding ceremony that was perfect for us. Not to mention Rev. Dr. Roché Vermaak has a great South African accent. We were extremely happy with his services.

A Wedding to Remember made our wedding a wedding to remember. Countless people told me afterwards that our officiant was kind, funny and professional. I appreciate the extra attention to detail and warm heart that he put into our day. I recommend him without any reservation to any bride and groom looking for an officiant to help on their special day!
