Amazing service

I highly recommend Great Officiants. They offer customized wedding ceremonies and take the time to ask what you want for your special day. Alan Katz was my officiant, and he beautifully matched my culture in his wording throughout the ceremony. He is fun and truly great!

Thank you Great Officiants

I can only give Great Officiants 5 stars. If I could, I would give them 10.

They handled our small wedding ceremony at the Cute, Little Wedding Chapel in Long Beach. We could not have been more pleased how it all went.

We had planned an outdoor ceremony but rain moved us inside. Great Officiants didn't miss a beat.

We had an "Elvis" ceremony and he was GREAT!! His entertaining style, singing and all-around fun attitude took so much of the pressure off of us. All of our dozen family attendees were highly entertained and "Elvis" made them part of the event.

Also, we had several distant family and friends watch via ZOOM and the compliments started rolling in.

10/10 experience!

My wife and I got married in October at Castle Green in Pasadena and Great Officiants was listed on the preferred vendors list on their website. Our officiant, Clifford Broadway was phenomenal! He did such a great job telling our love story and also keeping things light and fun. After the wedding our guests kept telling us how great he was! I would absolutely recommend them to officiate your wedding!

Amazing experience. Absolutely recommended for a stress free fun wedding

Alan “Al” was amazing from the start. The office guided us through the various options prior to the day with great communication. On the day, we were nervous but Al made us felt right at ease and comfortable with his nature easy-going personality. The wedding itself felt really special because of all the support we were given. Al is the best. The day was perfect thanks to him and his team.

Highly recommend!

Working with Alan at Great Officiants felt like it was meant to be! My husband and I met while working at Disneyland, so imagine our surprise and excitement when Alan told us he’s the official officiant for Disneyland Weddings. How perfect is that?

From the start, Alan made us feel confident and comfortable. He seamlessly wove our love story, shared interests, and cultural backgrounds into a ceremony that felt uniquely us. There was laughter, there were tears, and above all, there was so much love. Multiple guests came up to us afterward to say how incredible the ceremony was, and we couldn’t agree more.

If you’re looking for an officiant who takes the time to truly understand you and your partner, and who creates a ceremony that’s personal, heartfelt, and unforgettable, look no further. We highly recommend Alan and the team at Great Officiants!

We planned our wedding together and he made it feel so easy and stress free. He knew all the right words to say and everyone loved him!

Roger Lundblade is the best!

We went with Roger at Great Officiants as we wanted to bring some entertainment to our wedding and he is hilarious! He had us and our guests laughing, while remaining respectful, and guiding us through the ceremony. We had multiple guests ask us for his information after and we would absolutely recommend him to everyone.
