Brian was extremely communicative. I wasn't familiar with the Carmel area so he made a few suggestions based on what I was envisioning and we found the perfect spot! He was also very knowledgeable on the timing as well. I suggested evening and he said if I wanted to "seal the marriage with a kiss at sunset 6:30 would be the time" and it was definitely the perfect time! I felt very confident in hiring him to officiate my wedding. I plan on recommending him to a few people I know looking to get married soon. :)

Brian was a fantastic officiant! We really appreciated our in person meetings and the pre ceremony questionnaire. He was easy to schedule and communicate with. We did not have microphones at our small backyard ceremony and he did a great job projecting. He laughed at our lame jokes and I think he especially enjoyed our four legged ring bearer, haha. He also discreetly took aside our witnesses to have our marriage certificate signed after the ceremony, I didn’t even know it was happening, it was great because I was so busy!
I would say his services are a great value for the money, highly recommend!

We had a truly wonderful experience with Brian! He was incredibly kind, attentive, and responsive throughout the entire process. Every time we had a question or needed guidance, he was there with thoughtful answers and a calm presence. He genuinely cared about making our ceremony special and personal, and went above and beyond to help us with everything. We’re so grateful for his support and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a warm, professional, and reliable officiant.

Brian was such a fantastic addition to our wedding day! From our first zoom meeting (planning from Louisiana), Brian was so nice, comforting, knowledgeable, and we truly loved how professional he was with his planning. He had us fill out a questionnaire and we had more meetings that allowed him to write a beautiful ceremony.

Brian was a fantastic officiant throughout the entire process. He was very clear and concise in his communication and always responded quickly.
We eloped in Big Sur and had a small hiccup before our ceremony as our parents got lost and did not have cell service. This set our initial time back by 30 minutes but Brian was incredibly patient and understanding. He was a very calming presence in a stressful situation. During the ceremony, Brian spoke kindly and personably and it was truly beautiful. We opted to do personal vows privately but recited traditional vows. Brian’s delivery and presence created a peaceful and meaningful ceremony that we are so grateful for. We are so glad we chose Brian for the most special moment in our lives and would absolutely recommend him to anyone.

Five-star service! Highly recommend Weddings in Monterey! Brian made our elopement soooo smooth and stress-free. We gave only two weeks notice, but he was able to accommodate us. We had ours at Garrapata Park overseeing the beautiful ocean. It completely exceeded our expectations— the ceremony felt intimate and it was absolutely memorable. We loved everything. Thank you again, Brian!!

From the very first moment we decided to elope, Brian wasn’t just an officiant—he became a part of our journey. A towering presence with a warmth that instantly puts you at ease, his words didn’t just seal our vows; they resonated deep in our hearts.

But Brian’s role in our wedding was so much more than the ceremony itself. He was there from the very beginning, guiding us with patience, kindness, and unwavering support. Every question, every doubt, every last-minute change—he handled everything with grace and a reassuring presence that made all the difference.

Like many couples, we faced the inevitable pre-wedding uncertainties. When we had to change our wedding date at the last minute, we were anxious and worried, but Brian was right there, ready to help, making sure that nothing could take away the joy of our special day. Thanks to him, we were able to embrace the moment with light hearts and full confidence.

Brian isn’t just someone who officiates weddings—he is someone who truly cares. He turns a beautiful day into something unforgettable, not just through his words, but through the way he supports, reassures, and uplifts you every step of the way. Having him by our side was the greatest gift, and we will always be grateful.

Brian was the man! STAND UP GUY, professional and eased the process of reading our vows for my wife and I as we were already in tears of joy. He was also very accommodating as we changing our meet time from 7:30am to 10am due to cold weather. Would hire him again if repeat business was a thing in this industry… but we are so happy - we will stick to just this one.

Brian Borgia was absolutely amazing as our wedding officiant! From our first conversation, he made us feel at ease with his warmth and professionalism. He took the time to get to know us, crafting a ceremony that was not only personal and heartfelt but also perfectly aligned with our vision for the day.

On our wedding day, Brian’s calming presence and eloquent delivery made the ceremony truly special. Many of our guests commented on how touching and unique it was! He made the entire process so smooth and stress-free, allowing us to fully enjoy the moment.

We are so grateful for Brian’s role in making our wedding unforgettable and cannot recommend him highly enough to anyone looking for an exceptional officiant.
