Live Saver

I met Chris at my cousin's backyard wedding a few years ago and was a wonderful officiant and a good guy to talk to. He' seen everything.

This year, my fiancé was pregnant and we planned a small wedding at my parents' house a month before the due date but my fiancé ran int some issues and had to be hospitalized. We had to postpone our wedding celebration but we wanted to be married before becoming parents.

I called Chris and he just needed to know which hospital and when we wanted to be married. Three hours later he issued our marriage license and married us at Kaiser next to my WIFE's bed. Easy going and straightforward, and he made a huge moment easy and fun when it could have been an ordeal.

I've seen the Officiant Guy officiate traditional and emergency weddings and he was equally calm and professional both times. No matter what type of wedding you are planning, Congratulations! Contact Chris Robinson.

Chris was the best call we made!

Chris is an absolute dream to work with. We wanted a small and private ceremony within a quick turnaround, and Chris made the entire process effortless. He kindly answered our many questions and instantly proved why he comes so highly recommended. Chris made us feel comfortable from the start and led the ceremony with sincerity and compassion. He will make your day feel uniquely special while keeping the process simple and convenient.

A Wedding on Fire

We can't say enough about Chris, we just loved him. He is all that you require and expect, of course: Courteous, responsive & professional. But he is also all those things you HOPE for: stylish, refined and sophisticated, with a calming voice and flawless delivery.
We eloped, planning a simple living room ceremony with just a half dozen guests. This was to be the final event of a three week cruise through the Panama canal. Unexpectedly, we arrived in LA just as the Palisades fire was gaining speed, a very destabilizing event.
Everyone involved was understandably stressed, but we kept our wits about us in no small part due to Chris' unflappable commitment. He never wavered, not even for a second, from his task and he made our little elopement an event to remember.
He arrived ready to take us through the "paperwork" part, confidently and professionally, then seamlessly switching over to our ceremony in front of the living room fireplace, while fires outside pretty much raged all around us.
We were so lucky to have found him and would recommend him wholeheartedly, whether your event be grand or modest, Chris will shine for sure and take the best care of you both!

Congrats! Your search is done, Chris is your officiant. Move onto your next wedding task.

Choosing Chris Robinson to officiate our wedding (Madison & Jonathan Trein) in Los Angeles on April 12, 2025, was one of the most significant decisions we made for the entire day. Our vision was challenging: a ceremony that felt passionately romantic while simultaneously maintaining a relaxed, light-hearted, and fun atmosphere. Chris mastered this delicate balance completely. He possesses the exceptional ability to read the room, and his incredible improv skills ensured every moment flowed authentically. He avoided all the pitfalls of a corny and/or overly-formal service, acting as the perfect, confident presence needed to guide our day. The result was a ceremony that truly reflected the depth of our love without sacrificing the energy in the room.
Beyond his performance, Chris is an exemplary professional. Thorough responses, easy to work with, when we faced the inevitable overwhelm of designing the service content, he provided an immense and invaluable amount of templates, examples, and jumping-off points. This guidance streamlined our process during the busiest year of mine and my husbands lives. Chris Robinson is knowledgeable, highly experienced, and dedicated to customizing every element of his service. If you are seeking an officiant who is not only a calming, masterful presence but also a committed partner in the planning process, we wholeheartedly recommend him. He made our 'I dos' the most meaningful part of the entire event.

Photo proof of us having an absolute BALL at the scene :)

Best. Officiant. EVER! (no, srsly!)

Do you need someone who understands the entire nightmare that is getting your license, filing it appropriately, making sure you’re not on some mailing list for eternity that dooms you to endless junk mail and jury service? Do you need someone who’ll perform your service wherever/whenever you need them to occur? Do you want a professional, caring officiant who just want to simplify the process so you can go back to focusing on the insanity that is cake/flowers/music/catering and mollifying your moms?
Do you just wanna get married in a park and then peace out to your honeymoon?
You do? Think that’ll be expensive?
Call/email Chris now! You will not regret it on any level! (Well.. maybe your catering, but that’s someone else!)

Officiant Chris was amazing to work with!
Professional, kind, responsive. He gave us lots of non-denominational selections to choose from, from how we wanted him to conduct our Ceremony. We highly recommend him! The best parts: 1) No deposit; he let us pay the day of & 2) He handles Pre-Nups & Post-Nups. My husband & I decided not to get a pre-nup.

Officiant Guy Made the Impossible Happen

Thanks to the Officiant Guy we were able to be married in my father's hospital room so that all of our parents could attend our wedding ceremony. We had planned a small wedding in a couple of weeks but my dad suffered a stroke and it was not certain when or if he would be coming home. Chris Robinson, the Officiant Guy, was available the day after my dad's stroke. He issued our marriage license, offered a range of ceremonies and vows and was totally prepared for our wedding. His matter-of-fact demeanor and obvious love for his work made our unusual wedding seem normal. What could have been a sad day turned into a celebration. Thank you Chris!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.

Chris is always the first and only person who we recommend to our clients. The reason being... I actually don't think I have enough space to write but, in a few words: always on time, prompt, courteous, extremely professional, knowledgeable, comfortable, accommodating, sincere. Every bride and groom who have gone to him (and trust me, he sees A LOT!) -- have had nothing but sparkling remarks about him and all the information he provides for future use. Although he is by far the most popular officiant out there, he treats everyone with respect -- and never ever rushes anyone to get to his next venue. Add an amazing vendor to your list, like The Officiant Guy, and strike one LESS worry off your list. You'll be in great hands. - Marcela & Salvatore, with Soria Weddings Photography
