Wedding Officiant in California

I had such a great experience working with Shimira! From start to finish, they were professional, organized, and genuinely cared about making the ceremony meaningful and personal. Their attention to detail and calm, welcoming presence made everything feel seamless and special. If you’re looking for someone who will handle your big day with care and intention, I highly recommend their services!

Kristin is a wonderful officiant. Her holistic and thoughtful approach was exactly what we needed. As two rather shy individuals, the idea of standing up in front of a large group of people caused anxiety for us both, but Kristin help us with careful planning and preparation. We were adamant about having a non-denominational ceremony, and Kristin had some wonderful ideas to make our ceremony unique, specific to our relationship and focused on our love for each other. Our guests all commented on the unique ceremony that we put together and some are considering renewing their vows using some of the same ideas. When the ceremony finished, Kristin made sure to provide us with written next steps and stayed to mingle and visit with our families which we all appreciated. She is a kind spirit and we would highly recommend her.

Now I know why they’ve got a 5-star rating! Alan was super easy to work with, responsive, kind, open and accommodating. We came from Colorado for a weekend to get married in Malibu and Great Officiants made it beautiful and memorable. Renzo, our officiant, was awesome. He brought the whole package and married us like it should be done! Thank you Great Officiants, especially with your patience!

Carolyn was incredibly helpful throughout the entire process leading up to our wedding and on the day of. We ended up switching venues at the last minute, and she was extremely flexible and supportive. The ceremony was very emotional, and she guided us with kindness while making sure everything flowed perfectly. She even handled our small mistakes during the ceremony with grace and humor. We truly could not have asked for a better officiant than Carolyn.

Christine made our experience memorable by adding a personal touch that made the wedding our special day. By speaking with Christine, she knew we loved wine/wine tasting so for the ceremony she had the lovely idea of including a personalized wine box with a special bottle of wine and notes for me and my husband to read in a few years to remember our special day. Christine was professional, warm, and caring. It was a day we'll never forget and Christine is someone we would definitely recommend.

We booked Larry to officiate for our small and intimate wedding at Blake Gardens. From the first email, we knew we had chosen the right person. Larry was responsive, professional, and provided us with a ceremony worksheet that made planning stress-free. Larry arrived to the wedding venue first and met with us to make sure all our T's were crossed and i's were dotted. Since we planned our entire wedding ourselves, we wanted to ensure that the officiant we chose could help guide us through our perfect ceremony,; and Larry really delivered. The cherry on top was Larry was sweet and gentle with a great sense of humor. He did great with the guests and showed up as a true professional.

Highly recommend hiring Chris for your special day. He was fast to respond and made the whole process simple.

Joann was an absolute joy to work with and created a ceremony that felt truly personal and meaningful. From the start, she made us feel calm, supported, and understood, taking the time to get to know us as a couple. On our wedding day, everything flowed beautifully. Her words were warm, elegant, and sincere, and so many of our guests told us how touching the ceremony was. Joann’s professionalism, kindness, and calm presence made a big difference on such an important day. We couldn’t have asked for a better officiant and highly recommend her. Anastasia & Konstantin

To ensure we had the wedding ceremony of our dreams, Rabbi Barry met with us several times before the wedding. Rabbi Barry was a joy to work with and brought our vision to fruition, which was to have a loving ceremony that was inclusive to all of our guests. Rabbi Barry made the day very special for us, and was a hit with everyone. He is unique and one of a kind, and will bring a wonderful united spiritual dimension to your wedding, no matter what your faith.
