Our perfect wedding in Carmel

We were planning our wedding in Carmel from our home in Florida when we heard about Brian Borgia from our photographer Joshua Rose. Brian was so punctual in all of his responses while writing perfect vows for our marriage incorporating our personal touches. He directed us to a location to obtain our marriage license once we arrived in California. Everything was perfectly planned and arranged for our arrival and the entire service, although private, was flawless.

Highly recommend!

My husband and I are so grateful to have had Brian as our wedding officiant. We made the decision to contact Brian based on his stellar reviews through Wedding Wire and were not disappointed. Brian sought to understand our unique story and future goals to create a customized ceremony- even meeting with us in person (with remote options available) beforehand. He truly captured the essence of our relationship- to the point that our guests were surprised to learn that we had not known Brian prior to the planning process. Brian is kind, personable (he truly makes you feel at ease), an excellent communicator, and so helpful. His emails included useful tips and reminders, and he was available for recommendations and referrals throughout the planning process. He actually suggested the florist we hired (and loved). We highly recommend Brian for your officiant needs!!

Brian was awesome very attentive and asked for details about customizing and making our ceremony special for the both of us and did exactl

Brian was and amazing person to have as a part of our special ceremony. He did a really great job at asking beforehand any and every little detail that made our day special. I would definitely recommend him. All the little details that he asked he remembered at the time of ceremony. It was overall a really great experience and I’m very appreciative.. five stars all the way.
