Weddings Royale

There are not enough words to describe what AN AMAZING job Valerie did as the Officiant at our wedding 2 weeks ago at the Mission Inn Hotel & Spa in Riverside! We initially contacted Ryan (who was a delight) but due to availability, we selected Valerie and it was the BEST DECISION we've made regarding our wedding. Valerie is kind, thoughtful, EXPERIENCED, articulate and created a Wedding Ceremony that was like no other and made it completely customized and our own. She allowed us to incorporate elements from both of our religions, asked us to compile a 4-question questionnaire, with responses unique to us that she could read to our guests, which truly turned out MAGICAL. Valerie made the entire process FUN, EASY and took care of all the filing needs for the Marriage License. We will remember our beautiful wedding day forever and Valerie had everything to do with it. Valerie and Ryan are WORTH EVERY PENNY and could literally charge 2x as much and I would hire them again and again! If you want THE BEST, go with Weddings Royale for your wedding!

We are so glad to have Valerie as our officiant! She really took the time to get to know us so the ceremony felt very well tailored to our needs. We wanted a light hearted but still somewhat intimate ceremony and she delivered that beautifully. All our guests were so engaged in the ceremony because of her way of delivering speeches. So thank you so much Valerie! If you’re looking for an officiant who can tailor to your needs for your wedding, Valerie is the one!

We are beyond grateful to have had Valerie as our officiant—she was everything we hoped for and more! From start to finish, the process was incredibly seamless thanks to her professionalism and organization. She and Ryan hosted Zoom sessions on different topics leading up to the big day, which not only made us feel more prepared but also even more excited about our ceremony.

We asked Valerie to include a custom intro in our ceremony, and she went above and beyond—sending us a thoughtful draft ahead of time and delivering it with such beautiful, heartfelt words. The entire flow of the ceremony was more than we could’ve imagined.

We also loved the concept of the ceremony questionnaire, especially since we chose to do private vows. It helped her tell our story in such a meaningful and personal way. Valerie made us feel completely at ease and brought such a warm, calming presence to the day. She even engaged with our guests, which made the ceremony feel intimate and connected.

Every single thing she did was so intentional—even down to her outfit choice for the ceremony, which perfectly suited the tone and setting of our day. It’s clear she puts so much care into every detail.

We can’t thank her enough for being such a special part of our wedding day. Highly, highly recommend!

We cannot recommend Valerie enough! From the very beginning, she took the time to get to know us and crafted a completely unique ceremony script for us. Her words were heartfelt, meaningful, and beautifully delivered.

Not only did she create an incredible ceremony, but she also helped us edit our vows to ensure they matched in tone and complemented each other perfectly. Her guidance made the process so much easier, and we felt confident and excited when it was time to share them.

Since our wedding, we’ve received countless compliments on how touching and memorable our ceremony was. Valerie set the perfect tone for our special day, making it feel intimate, warm, and full of love.

We couldn’t have asked for a better officiant for our wedding! From the very beginning, she was so easy to get along with—warm, communicative, and genuinely invested in making our ceremony feel personal and meaningful. She has an incredible presence, effortlessly capturing the attention of our guests while still making the moment feel intimate and just for us.

Her ability to engage a crowd is unmatched—charming, heartfelt, and with just the right touch of humor. She made us feel so comfortable and truly in the moment, which is something we will cherish forever. If you're looking for an officiant who can balance energy, elegance, and authenticity, she is the one. We are beyond grateful for her role in our special day!

Valerie is beyond amazing,empathetic,dedicated,and truly felt like a friend

Oh what can I say about Valerie! She went above and beyond to make it special and guide us in such a beautiful way to begin our marriage. She was not only our officiant but became someone to lean on and truly became a friend. I would recommend her 1000% over to anyone who asks! Love her.

My husband and I knew immediately that we were not the type to stand in front of everyone and read off tear-jerking personal vows. She knew exactly what we needed, and she delivered it perfectly on wedding day.
I couldn't even count the number of compliments that were given or the amount of people who said our ceremony was the first time they shed happy tears in years. Valerie was so creative with how she captured our love, and she communicated it in a way that made the ceremony feel so special and especially different to any other. It was captivating.
Our wedding day was magical. It all turned out better than we could dream of. And I can't help but acknowledge that things don't align so perfectly without vendors like Weddings Royale.
They made us feel seen and heard throughout the entire process. They prioritized our special day, and they gave all of their effort to assure that we were far beyond happy with the outcome.

My fiance was the one who found Ryan and after the first phone call with him, he told me that he was perfect. He’s so intentional about his words and how he structures the ceremony that it makes the day hard to forget. I will never forget how after I said my vows, I looked at Ryan and he was getting a little emotional as well - he cares so much! He was such a friend to us and helped guide us as much as he could. I wouldn’t have wanted anyone else to marry us! Thank you!

Valerie was the officiant for our wedding and it went perfectly. From start to finish, she has always been so easy to communicate with. We felt comfortable with her from the start. Months prior, she gave us tips for writing our vows. She maintained communication through text and email. She even asked us what we’d like her to wear so her outfit could coordinate with our theme/venue. Right before the ceremony, she saw that I was busy and even asked if I needed help. Her kindness is genuine and we are so grateful she was part of our special day. We felt at ease during the ceremony because we knew exactly what to expect. We were able to fully focus on each other. After the ceremony, our guests told us they felt so engaged and complimented how beautiful the ceremony was. We are so happy we chose Weddings Royale.

Thank you so much, Valerie!
