About

Your wedding day is the foundation of the rest of your lives together, and your ceremony is the focal point around which the day revolves. It is uniquely yours, to be remembered always with joy and love. Our goal is to assist you in creating a service that complements your personalities and the love you share.

The most important task entrusted to an officiant, a wedding coordinator, and everyone involved in the production of your wedding is to create that perfect moment. It's when, after months, possibly years of preparation, the groom is standing in front of the most important friends and family he and his bride-to-be have in their lives, the venue has been prepared according to their preferences, the music, the lighting, the flowers, and everything else is perfect; the bride enters the room like a vision, she begins her procession, she sees her groom, their eyes meet, and it's magic.

This day is not about your officiant, it's about you, and we will do whatever we can to ensure that you, your ceremony, and your marriage shine through.

When you book with You May Kiss the Bride, you get more than an officiant. You get a team of professionals with years of experience in the wedding industry. You get prompt answers to your questions, prompt responses to your emails, concise information about your role in the ceremony process, and an attention to detail that is unparalleled in the industry.

Greg was great! He was excellent about communicating with us throughout the process and put together a beautiful ceremony for my wife and I that fit exactly what we were looking for. He was also so friendly and professional throughout the rehearsal and day of. He helped put me at ease with his sense of humor and offered great advice to us on little tweaks that made our special day that much more special. You can tell that he has a ton of experience, but he still seems passionate about what he does. Great value too. I'm thrilled we found him and can't recommend him highly enough

Greg was our officiant. He was a breathe of fresh air in this process and worked with the fact that I was so busy. He made me feel at ease with it all

Working with Greg was easy from the start. He met with us to discuss what we were looking for as far as the ceremony, and he gave excellent suggestions as we created a personalized ceremony for our big day. He was very punctual—even early on our wedding day! He walked us through the ceremony right before the real deal in front of our guests, which helped calm our nerves and know exactly what to expect. I’d recommend him to anyone!

We loved having Mark Wheeler from You May Kiss The Bride officiate our wedding ceremony! From our first meeting with him, we felt as though he were an old friend that we'd known for ages. He was kind, funny, warm, personable, and genuine and spent time getting to know us. We received a variety of sample ceremonies and readings from Greg and Elisa, which we chose to piece together with some of our own thoughts and internet finds to write our own. Greg and Elisa also helped with reminders to get our marriage license and by reading over the ceremony to give us the feedback we'd requested (having never written a ceremony before).

On the day of, Mark arrived early and gave us some super-helpful tips on logistics like how to hand off the bouquet. I didn't have a lot of nerves before the ceremony, but I'm sure his calming presence would have helped if I had. He came prepared with a copy of the ceremony, and did a great job. When it came time to having us repeat the vows back, he did skip a line for one of us, but no one noticed it at the time (not even us!), and it was no big deal. What people did notice is how composed he was and how he handled a helicopter flying overhead with a witty impromptu comment that eased the tension.

I did get very emotional up there, so I appreciated Mark's calm demeanor and professional delivery. And I loved knowing that we were being married by someone we liked and respected who had a family of his own. Mark even met with us later to fill out the confidential marriage license and was super kind about it when we stupidly showed up half an hour late because we'd misread our own calendar. (Oh, and he knows the ins and outs of the marriage license process, even the more obscure stuff like confidential licenses.) We'd totally recommend You May Kiss The Bride and Mark Wheeler in particular!

I wanted to get the word out to nervous brides and grooms that are shopping a wedding officiant. You can stop looking and stressing. From the first contact until the " I now pronounce you man and wife" part of the process, they were SPECTACULAR! Our officiant was Mark Wheeler and he was a true blessing. I cannot write all of the benefits of having Mark perform our ceremony because this review doesn't have enough space. Mark was everything we were hoping for and more. His experience and professionalism made the ceremony seamless and something we will always remember. I highly recommend having Mark be a part of your big day. Greg and Elisa were absolutely terrific in providing all of the information for the ceremony and licencing portion of the process. I wanted to share this experience with everyone currently planning a wedding and let them know that this company and the individuals listed above were truly exceptional. You can stop stressing about finding an officiant now.

Greg Mohr was an excellent officiant, and he tailored our ceremony to our preferences and lifestyle. We wanted a non-religious ceremony with a "wine-bottle love letter" to be performed during, we had a perfect ceremony length, with insightful advice from Greg, and our family & friends were not only entertained, but moved.

Greg at You May Kiss The Bride was fantastic.

He worked with us diligently to make sure that our wedding ceremony went exactly as we had envisioned. His words to us before the ceremony were calming and reassuring. He was articulate, professional, on time, responsive, and considered all of our needs for our special day. It's interesting to see someone in his profession truly LOVE what they do... he is the real deal. An officiant you don't already know can be a big risk, we won with Greg.

I'd recommend him to anyone with a wedding in So-Cal and anywhere he is willing to travel.

My fiancé and I are not religious people so when it was time to get married You May Kiss the Bride from Newport Beach was recommended to us by our friends. What a wonderful recommendation! Mark Wheeler was our officiate and he did a wonderful job. We knew we would hit it off from our 1st meeting. Mark gave us the short and sweet ceremony we wanted for our wedding and I am sure our guests loved listening to his South African accent. Mark and You May Kiss the Bride come highly recommended! Thank you Mark for making our wedding memorable!

Greg was great! He had a lot of fresh ideas and was willing to work with us to make our ceremony what we wanted. He offered great advice on the day of the ceremony which was to really just pay attention to each other and not worry about talking loud enough for everyone to hear us, as long as we could hear each other....this was so calming the day of!
