Perfect Wiki-Wiki Wedding

We found Rev. Des on line while seeking an officiant who might be able to marry us on short notice. Rev. Des responded to an on-line inquiry within hours and jumped on board with our loosely made plans to get married in ten days time. Rev. Des’ website is transparent - and she offers options even for the simplest of ceremonies. She got to know us through a phone call and e-mails and personalized our wedding perfectly. She even sent text updates along the way. Rev Des is incredibly flexible and great at what she does. We can only speak for the Wiki-Wiki wedding, but highly recommend her.

Desiree did an absolutely fantastic job with our small elopement. It was such a special day for us and all of her kind words meant so much to us. We had never been to Monterey before and she picked out the absolute perfect place for us to marry. I would definitely recommend her services to anyone! Thanks again!!
