Redwood wedding with loved ones!

Sam was exceptional in every way you could imagine. My now wife and I reached out to Sam with a pretty short timeline and really no idea what was all involved or any significant plans. He got back to our request almost immediately and we scheduled a meeting within a few days. He walked us through the process, shared all types of ideas for different ceremony options and even helped us find a beautiful location for us and our close family members. Sam made us feel extremely comfortable, understood our needs and he was able to provide us a magnificent day neither of us will ever forget. Sam was extremely flexible with timing and organizing everything. He even helped us in honoring one our recently passed family members that was supposed to attend our wedding. It was a lovely moment. In addition to the amazing ceremony, Sam is genuinely one of the nicest people either of us has met. You could tell immediately how much he enjoyed helping us and being a part of our major life milestone. We can’t thank him enough!

Rev. Sam gave us our perfect beautiful wedding ceremony!

Our officiant, Rev. Sam was absolutely amazing to work with and incredibly professional, supportive, and meticulous! I am SO happy my husband and I decided to work with him. We met several officiants when we were deciding during the wedding planning process and honestly, our intuition told us to move forward with him because there was something very authentic and genuine about him. He was always responsive whenever we had a question and provided guidance and examples of what other couples did when we were unsure at times which really helped us decide how to do our ceremony. My husband is agnostic and I am much more religious as well as we have other personality differences and unique wedding ceremony preferences and he helped us have a ceremony that reflected us as a couple and our unique needs as individuals. The planning meeting was also very efficiently completed and he came to our rehearsal and did an amazing job that made our ceremony flow beautifully on our wedding. He is very funny, intelligent, and kind as a person, too which helped us become comfortable with him. Honestly, it was such a special, beautiful ceremony that was perfect in every way and I would work with Rev. Sam again for a vow renewal and highly recommend other couples to work him for a beautiful ceremony!

Rev. Sam was a perfect match for us and we highly recommend him as your wedding officiant!

Rev. Samuel made our wedding so beautiful. He demonstrated professionalism, creativity, charisma, and care throughout the entire process. He made our ceremony completely customized to our preferences and he was still able to surprise us with a beautiful reading that represented us perfectly. We booked him with minimal time before our wedding, but the way he conducted the ceremony, people were asking how long we had known him. My cousins came up to me and told me that they loved the ceremony. Rev. Sam knows exactly how to make a ceremony special, customized, and take any worry away. He has everything organized and outlined so there is really no stress on the couple at all. We were going to go with a family member or friend, but I am so glad we didn’t.

Sam Fullerton


We couldn’t have asked for a better officiant than Sam. From the moment we connected, his professionalism, warmth, and genuine passion for creating meaningful ceremonies stood out. He took the time to truly understand us as a couple, tailoring the ceremony to reflect our personalities and love story. We had a zoom meeting and we answered to his questions to make this experience more personal. He also took into account that we are not from U.S and helped with all formalities.

On the big day, Sam’s calm and positive energy set the perfect tone. His words were heartfelt, beautifully delivered, and created an atmosphere of love and intimacy that we’ll cherish forever. He even helped my husband to decorate the arch while I was late for the ceremony.

If you’re looking for someone who will make your ceremony feel personal, special, and unforgettable, Sam is the perfect choice. Thank you for making our wedding so magical, Sam!

Sam saved the day

One week before our wedding, our original officiant got ill and wasn’t able to perform this ceremony. I was in contact with Reverand Sam Fullerton I think it was on a Monday. I was a little bit at a loss and he was so reassuring, kind and understanding of the situation. He was able to connect me with Reverend Catherine who in just a couple days was able to put together the most beautiful ceremony. Although we only had just met her, we felt like we knew her for such a long time, she incorporated our family, our surroundings, and a little humor into the ceremony. .

Thank you, Reverend Sam and Reverend Catherine.
This was the best day our life!

Working with Sam was a wonderful experience. His speech was incredibly thoughtful, and I look back on it with such fondness. He was attentive to all our requests and preferences, making sure everything was just right. The preparation process was smooth and convenient, handled entirely over Zoom.

A caring touch for our special day

We are thankful that Sam was our officiant! He took the time to include personal details that we shared with him and he even spoke Mongolian with 1 day of practice and according to my wife he spoke it well! Sam brought a sense of love and professionalism in his speech that was fitting of our special day. Sam was warm hearted, open minded, professional, and helpful. He had a real understanding of the vibe of the day. We are thankful that we had Equal Opportunity Officiants and Sam as our offciiant!

Our beach wedding

We just got married on the beach at
the end of Sept. We were cutting it
close looking for an officiant. So I
searched online. I was contacted by
several people, but as soon as I spoke to Sam I knew to look no further. Had
a very pleasant first conversation,
Pricing was great, and he was
professional and immersive in getting
to know a bit about us. He created a wonderful ceremony. We knew what
to expect and he still pleasantly
surprised us with a few things. We
had a few family members running
late and he kindly waited for the rest of the family before starting. I HIGHLY
recommend him! Thank you for
creating a beautiful wedding
ceremony for us. He even withstood
the cold with us on the beach.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
