Joyful and Thorough!

Zia helped us create an absolutely unforgettable wedding day. We deeply appreciate the thoughtfulness, thoroughness, and heart Zia poured into our ceremony. It was a pleasure working with her in the months leading up to the wedding day; her dependability and meaningful communication put us at ease during what could be a stressful time period. Likewise, everyone we've spoken to has been so complimentary of Zia's passion and personalization. It was the most important part of our day and she absolutely nailed it.

11/2/24 wedding

Zia officiated our wedding on 11/2/24. We truly had the best experience with Zia! She has wonderful communication, made time to meet with multiple times to make sure our ceremony was memorable and included our love story. We even got reviews from our guests saying it felt like Zia had known us our entire relationship! Zia wrote the most beautiful ceremonies for us and it will forever be one of our favorite parts of our wedding! Thank you Zia for everything!

10/10 for Zia!

Zia was so amazing for our wedding. She really knew what to do to make a memorable wedding. We had a much shorter timeframe to work with than I think she was used to but she was so amazing and patient with us. She worked with us to make sure what we felt really came through in the ceremony, and she really helped to make it special in our own way. I really appreciated her ability to keep the wedding out of cliches and her ability to connect with our guests. I would highly recommend Zia for anyone getting married in the Monterey area!!
