Eric was recommended to us by our day of wedding coordinator. We went with him because we liked the fact that we could customize everything about our wedding ceremony and that he had tons of experience officiating weddings. The process to design our ceremony was easy because we just had to pick and choose the different aspects from a given list but also we were able to customize it to make it about us and our relationship. Eric was super helpful and answered all our questions in a timely manner. He presented the ceremony in a wonderful manner and we would recommend him to anyone who is getting married in the future.

When searching for an officiant, we set out to find someone with a gentle demeanor; kind, calm and wise. Eric had all of these attributes in spades. From the beginning, his approach was so helpful and straightforward. When it came to constructing the script for the ceremony, we had dozens of customizable, beautifully written options to choose from. And since we were involved in selecting excerpts in a collaborative way with Eric, we really felt like the ceremony was true to us.

The script is one thing, the experience of having Eric officiate on the day is another! He arrived promptly and immediately put us at ease with his gentle and charming nature. He had excellent advice before the ceremony so that my husband and I could be fully present and engage with one another. This advice made the ceremony so intimate and shook us out of our jitters completely. The ceremony itself was so poignant, moving and a major highlight of the day. Eric spoke beautifully and brought the words on the page to life. You know that he loves what he does because the passion pours out of him.

Our guests were all in tears and commented that ours was the most moving ceremony they had ever experienced. It’s hard to be objective, but they were echoing our own feelings. What we experienced was so rare and beautiful and we couldn’t have had a better leader in Eric. Thank you so much for making our day so special!

When we booked our venue at Malibu Rocky Oaks our wedding planner recommended Eric to be our officiant. We knew the officiant was a very important role in our wedding ceremony and researched our officiant choices. Eric's website is very organized with videos, bio and text examples of the ceremony. Also other great useful information like how to getting a wedding license.
We emailed him and he responded quickly. We set up a Skype call and felt very comfortable with him. He is very professional as well. He wanted to get to us as a couple and help build our love story for the ceremony. We knew he was the perfect officiant. He set reminders for us to work on our vows many months before the wedding. We also choose the elements and sample readings we liked on an easy sheet he had on his website. He had such a good array of readings and he also let us change it by line or word if needed. We went with the full package to make it more personal and it included our love story. We each filled out questionnaires about our relationship.

Eric then put everything together including the personal love story and let us read it and we Skyped again to review it.
We changed a few words and he rewrote it and was very fast and responsive. He wanted to make sure we were happy with it for our big day.

He came early for our wedding and reviewed the wedding license and mailed it after the wedding for us.

For our ceremony he was very eloquent, professional and made us feel comfortable. He also was very prepared.

Our wedding video was beautiful as well with many of his words in it.


We can't recommend him enough!

Even he is not the one performing the ceremony for my wedding day, he took the time to actually introduce me too another officiant and no just let me hanging, he responds fast and has a great attitude!

Officiant Eric married us in Santa Barbara on September 7, 2019. We couldn’t have asked for a more professional officiant. We loved how we were able to choose each and every word for our ceremony Not only does he have dozens of choices and samples, Eric works with you on each word of your ceremony and allows you to change things up from his examples/lists to have your ceremony fit perfectly to your own relationship. This allows your ceremony to be unique and allows you, with his guidance, to create the wedding ceremony of your dreams! We also chose to have Eric create our personal story and we were thrilled how it turned out! He got “us,” not only by the questionnaire we filled out, but by getting to know us personally. Eric was more than willing to speak to us whenever we needed and even met up with us for coffee to really get to know our vision and our relationship. The way he told our story was so unique, funny, yet there wasn’t a dry eye. He captured “us” so perfectly. Our ceremony was a dream, one we will cherish the rest of our lives. We received so many compliments about Eric from our family and guests.

We also LOVE the way he let the wedding be about us. He quickly moved out of the way, so the photos were just us during the sand ceremony and after he pronounced us husband and wife. We have seen other officiants stay in all the photos and this is something we did not like. Officiant Eric was very conscientious and incredibly humble.

We highly recommend, Officiant Eric!

If you want to have the ability to create the wedding of your dreams, Eric is the one. Eric provides so many ideas and samples to be able to guide you create the ceremony you have in mind. He is so quick at responding and guides you through it all. We had no doubt in him though the whole process. He is very professional and so supportive.
We definitely recommend Eric for your special day.
Thank you again Eric, you were amazing!

My husband and I are so happy with how our ceremony turned out and have received so many compliments from our friends and family about how great Officiant Eric was. Officiant Eric was fantastic from the start. He was extremely responsive and made the process so much easier on us. We explained what we wanted and what we didn't want and he made it better than we could have imagined. We were able to review the script prior to the ceremony which was a huge perk! And prior to the ceremony Officiant Eric met with myself and my husband separately to congratulate us and to explain how things would go and assure us that everything would go smoothly (that definitely helped with some of the nerves). We are so happy that we chose Officiant Eric to officiate our wedding!

Officiant Eric was fantastic to work with from the very beginning and through our big day. He is truly a professional, very knowledgeable and put us at ease. We appreciated his flexibility in constructing a ceremony unique and special to us - he wanted to make it feel like it was our own. He was great on our wedding day and made sure everything ran smoothly. Highly recommend Officiant Eric to anyone!

Eric was our number one choice for our wedding officiant. He had such amazing reviews and I absolutely loved his option to personalize our wedding ceremony.
After setting up a time to speak with Eric over the phone, my then fiance and I knew immediately that Eric was the one. He listened to our requests and made suggestions on which option would fit us best. We ended up choosing "The Love Story" package, which was a personalized and fully customized ceremony.
Eric was very east to communicate with either phone, email or skype, and always responded in a timely manner. He provided us with ceremony samples and a bride and groom questionnaire that we filled out separately. I absolutely loved hearing the responses that my now husband said on the questionnaire! With Eric's help, we were able to create the ceremony of our dreams that was unique to us and only us!
As the wedding day approached, Eric finalized our ceremony script and made changes, updates etc per our request. On the day of, Eric was on time, professional, and did such a wonderful job.
He is very talented and would be a wonderful addition to any bride and groom on their wedding day!

Eric is extremely professional and easy to work with! We loved being able to work with him on our ceremony to make it personal to us. He gave us great examples and we were able to use those as a guideline. He was punctual and incredible with communication! He did an amazing job we would highly recommend!
