Wonderful from start to finish!

My husband and I got married in September 2012 in a beautiful location in Aptos, CA where Lance officiated our wedding. I have very high praise for the job that Lance did as our officiant. The whole process working with him on the ceremony from beginning to the end was easy, organized, non-stressful, and fun! First of all he uses Google Docs when writing the ceremony which was really great because my husband and I could write something and have it saved and then allow Lance to go in and add in his parts and let us read it and edit it as we went along. He allowed us to write as much of the ceremony as we wanted and was very helpful with giving us some good ideas along the way. We told him what we wanted and what was important to us and he was able to complete the ceremony perfectly. He was also great during the rehearsal. He was very organized and kept the mood light with the bride and groom calm and relaxed, and everyone else in the wedding party organized. We had a very fun and enjoyable rehearsal with lots of laughs where everyone left feeling like they knew what to expect the next day. For the day of the wedding, all I can say is, Lance truly was amazing! Our ceremony was better than could be hoped for and we received many compliments and many asking about Lance and saying what a wonderful job he did! His voice was the perfect volume, he had the perfect amount of seriousness and humor (for us), and it went flawlessly!

I would highly recommend Lance as your wedding officiant, with him as your officiant, you don’t need to stress about having an amazing ceremony and that is so important when it comes to your wedding!!

Can't thank him enough!

Lance is a very warm and thoughtful person. The service he gave at our wedding is one we will never forget. Our favorite part was when he had us turn and look at our family and friends, to see the love and joy on everyones face is something that will live in our hearts forever. He also took the time to get to know what we wanted in the service, and made it unique to us. He included funny bits and heart warming bits in just the right amounts. Can't thank him enough.

Great to work with

Working with Lance to make our wedding what we wanted it to be was such a great experience. Making our vows and the ceremony really reflect who we are as a couple was so important to us and Lance was perfect! He made us laugh but also kept it loving and emotional. I can’t say enough about the experience we had with Lance officiating our special day!

Flexible and helpful!

My then fiance and I started to plan our wedding June 14, 2019 for our wedding in June of 2020. Because of the world wide pandemic we had to change things, such as date, location, attendance and much more. Lance was incredibly flexible and even joined us at our VERY last minute changed location.
Lance Hough is an amazing man and great officiant with a magnetic personality! He was professional, passionate and sincere. He made the process so easy and explained everything to us. You would be incredibly blessed to have him officiate your wedding.

Highly recommended!

As a couple that has witnessed several of Lance Hough’s wedding, and also a couple that was married by him, we cannot recommend his work enough. Lance is passionate, involved, and versatile. At each of the weddings we have attended, including our own, the ceremony has been unique and special to the couple at hand. Lance will meet with you and your spouse-to-be, in an effort to get to know you as a couple in order to create a ceremony that captures the life you wish to create together.

Most importantly, we felt Lance strived to create the exact ceremony that we wanted to reflect our dynamic family life. Even years later, all of our family members are still talking about what a beautiful job Lance did, making our ceremony fun, heartfelt, and illustrative. Making everyone happy seemed impossible, but if anyone could have done it, it was Lance. Remember everyone is coming to see the celebration of your union, the ceremony is the best way to depict the life you want to create, find an officiant that will help you create this experience if an important task. For us, the right choice was Lance. Best of luck in your wedding planning!
