We Owe it all to Bethel
The highlight of our wedding day was undoubtedly the ceremony, and we owe it all to Bethel. Throughout the entire journey, she was consistently considerate and kept the lines of communication wide open. She collaborated closely with us to ensure our ceremony was not only precisely what we envisioned but also a true reflection of our identity as a couple. Going into the process, we did not truly understand how important it would be to have an officiant that got to know us. We knew at some level this would be a one-time thing, but we did not want this to feel transactional. With Bethel, it did not feel that way at all. There were calls, and homework, and more homework; and the result was that we got the ceremony that we actually wanted. My mother-in-law said it was the best ceremony that she's ever attended, and she isn't easily impressed.
Her dedication extended to taking care of all the necessary paperwork and the logistics of our marriage license, relieving us of any stress. Meeting her was a true blessing, and we wholeheartedly endorse her services.The highlight of our wedding day was undoubtedly the ceremony, and we owe it all to Bethel.

Bethel is amazing!
We can’t thank Bethel enough! She made our day and we had so many people come to us and tell us how much they loved our ceremony and just how personal and moving it was. It was exactly what we wanted and we will always remember it. I highly recommend Bethel for an unforgettable ceremony!We can’t thank Bethel enough!

A beautiful ceremony, highly recommend!
Bethel was a joy to work with for our wedding ceremony. We wanted a non-traditional wedding ceremony to celebrate our marriage and our 10 year relationship. Neither of us are religious. Bethel helped us get deep as we wrote about our story and what we love about each other for homework. She created a beautiful, emotional ceremony that left many of our guests in tears of joy. With a beautiful backdrop of giraffes and rhinos at the San Diego Zoo Safari Park, many of our guests said it was “the best wedding ever.” They loved getting to know us and our relationship better with our personalized ceremony by Bethel. Don't miss your opportunity to work with Bethel for your wedding, we highly recommend her.Bethel was a joy to work with for our wedding ceremony.

Bethel is MAGIC!!!
Having an officient that gets so involved with their couples is the HUGE difference between a happy occasion and a magical event! And that is EXACTLY what Bethel did for us! She asks questions, inspires deep and thoughtful responses and then sprinkles in her own touch to create a ceremony tailor made for her couples. And it does not stop at the wedding! As a bride who will be taking my husband's name - post-wedding, Bethel provided links to kits that will help navigate the labrynth of those facing the challenge of name change!! We are so happy and do very, deeply thankful that we chose Bethel - and you will be too!!!!Having an officient that gets so involved with their couples is the HUGE difference between a happy occasion and a magical event!

Bethel is the best
We cannot recommend Bethel enough!!!! From the very first communication we had, it was clear that Bethel is tremendous at what she does. The amount of effort, care and attention she put in to our ceremony and our upcoming marriage was incredible. She really took the time to get to know us and to draft a ceremony tailored to us. But our relationship with Bethel went so much further than that – she clearly cares about our marriage and relationship as a whole, and not just the wedding day. After the ceremony she gave us advice, reminded us to enjoy the moment, and really seemed to care that our day was special. She was incredibly detail oriented in terms of getting the marriage license and what to do, making it easier for us during the planning process. It was refreshing to work with someone who cares deeply about what they do! Look no further – you will NOT regret working with such an amazing person!We cannot recommend Bethel enough!!!!

Bethel is absolutely amazing!
My favorite part about my wedding was the ceremony and I’m glad I’m able to associate such a special moment with happiness and laughter. I honestly think it’s all because of Bethel. Bethel just has a way of structuring the ceremony so people can really see how you are as a couple (with the help of some homework). It was like the people we love and care about were able to look through a window into our relationship. They could see how beautiful the love we have is and how in sync we are even when we don’t even try. I’m happy Bethel was able to bring that out for everyone to see.
I feel like people tend to not prioritize officiants, but I think it’s so important. You’ll constantly look back at your ceremony because it’s where you’re promising forever with your partner whether it’s just the two of you or in front of loved ones. Bethel made our wedding lighthearted, fun, and memorable. Don’t settle for anything less on your wedding- go with Bethel. I absolutely can’t recommend Bethel enough.My favorite part about my wedding was the ceremony and I’m glad I’m able to associate such a special moment with happiness and laughter.

Authentic and Genuine - Our ceremony was perfect!
Bethel is an excellent officiant and the ceremony she prepared for our wedding was perfect. Choosing Bethel was easily one of the best decisions we made and we are beyond lucky to have worked with her.
From the beginning, Bethel was professional, sweet, and kind. We didn’t know exactly what we wanted in a ceremony, but Bethel patiently listened as we talked through all our wishes and ideas. She then diligently walked us through all the different options and ultimately created a beautiful custom ceremony that was truly one of a kind.
Bethel also took the time to learn about the details of our relationship and incorporated these into the ceremony. This made our ceremony feel even more intimate and special. Simply put - Bethel is an amazing officiant who will give your ceremony the attention it deserves and make your wedding day amazing!Bethel is an excellent officiant and the ceremony she prepared for our wedding was perfect.

She was absolutely the best!!
Wow, Bethel gives the most sincere, thoughtful, happy and professional ceremonies ever. We could not be happier with what she did for us for both our ceremonies given we had a small intimate one during the pandemic on our initial date on 10/10/20 and the full ceremony on 10/8/22. Bethel incorporated information in both ceremonies. She’s extremely excellent and a true professional!!Wow, Bethel gives the most sincere, thoughtful, happy and professional ceremonies ever.

The perfect ceremony!
Bethel was an absolute gem! We got married about a year and a half ago, and I'm ashamed it took me this long to write this review.
We had a non-religious ceremony, and Bethel's words were so moving that they brought tears to everyone's eyes - including my bridesmaids who teared up so much they lost a bit of their makeup! She truly made our ceremony special and unique to us.
What amazed us most was her attention to detail. Bethel not only delivered a beautiful ceremony but also ensured all the official documentation was sorted, something we hadn't even thought about. Her flexibility with prompts allowed us to craft the ceremony exactly how we envisioned it.
Bethel's warmth, love, and professionalism made our day unforgettable. We can't thank her enough for making our celebration of love so incredibly special.
If you're looking for an officiant who goes above and beyond to make your day perfect, Bethel is the one!

Above & Beyond!
Our wedding ceremony was hands down, the best one we’ve ever attended - & we’ve been to a lot! Bethel was recommended to us by our wedding planner & she was simply amazing. She had an initial video call with us & just had this amazing positive energy that just drew us in. And she will give you all the tools you will ever need for anything ceremony related! We had plenty of styles, quotes, short readings, ceremony ideas, ring ceremony wording ideas, and vows to read though. We sifted through them all and chose what spoke to us & sent it back & she created the most beautiful ceremony for us! She even had the sweetest idea of drafting a love letter for each other (before the wedding) to read to one another on all our anniversaries in the years ahead (or birthdays or valentines days, etc. )Our wedding ceremony was hands down, the best one we’ve ever attended - & we’ve been to a lot!

the BEST!!!
Bethel is AMAZING!!! My husband and I were planning a destination wedding in San Diego, and since we are from the opposite side of the country, we had no clue where to find a ceremony officiant. Lucky for us, we found Bethel! She is super friendly, organized, and professional. She really took the time to get to know us over Zoom and through emails so that she could create the most beautiful and personal wedding ceremony for us. When we met her in person for the first time on our wedding day, it felt as if she was an old friend we had known for years! She paid attention to all the little details so that everything went smoothly during the ceremony, and she made us feel so comfortable up there! We had TONS of guests telling us that it was the sweetest, most personal wedding ceremony that they had ever witnessed. Thank you for everything, Bethel!Bethel is AMAZING!!!

Best officiant I could have hoped for :)
My wife Karli and I loved absolutely everything about working with Bethel. Even after just meeting her at the initial consultation, we felt like she was an old friend. She's gifted at connecting with people this way. She has a wonderful process to get to know us as a couple & what our relationship is like. During our ceremony, there was not a dry eye in the house. Everything was meaningful, touching, and captured all the emotions that my wife and I feel for each other. Many people told us that it was the best wedding ceremony they had ever witnessed. Bethel also wonderful to communicate with, and advises on all the details surrounding the ceremony & marriage license (she even had resources for my name change). I would highly recommend Bethel as a wonderful officiant!My wife Karli and I loved absolutely everything about working with Bethel.

Outstanding and beautifully well done
We hired and worked with Ceremonies by Bethel for our San Diego wedding. We must say that we are glad we did. Bethel has been professional, personable, endearing, supportive, and warm hearted since the beginning. She dedicates effort and thoughtfulness in her craft in making ceremonies that much more memorable and special. She talked us through the timeline of the ceremony and we appreciated her input on how receptions typically play out the day of.
I had a panic attack from misplacing our dog leash that had our wedding rings a moment before the ceremony. Bethel calmly talked me down and offered me a Halls candy to help redirect my attention. She was loving and sweet to us throughout the ceremony when there were times I felt like I wanted to run and hide. She reminded me of all the hard work we put into our special moment and wedding day and we were just going to share that with our loved ones. That was all. She made our wedding day special and memorable.
I would highly recommend Ceremonies by Bethel to anyone looking for the perfect officiant to celebrate them.

We love Bethel!
We eloped just the 2 of us (plus Bethel and photographers) and we are SO glad we did! Bethel made the ceremony so sweet and intimate and worked really hard to make it feel like who we are as a couple. The homework she gave us really helped us think about our vows and wedding in a new way and I don’t think the experience could have been the same without her. I truly can’t recommend her highly enough!We eloped just the 2 of us (plus Bethel and photographers) and we are SO glad we did!

Bethel breaks conventions and builds experiences that matches each relationship
Working with Bethel has been one of the greatest experiences we had during wedding planning. Right out of the gates, Bethel wanted to set up a Zoom call with us (this was to be a destination wedding) and she took the time to understand who my wife and I are individually and how our relationship was built. She quickly learned that my wife and I bonded over video games and that the wedding would be gaming themed and Bethel was excited to help make it happen. Both my wife and I aren't conventional in anyway and we were anxious about how a non-religious, non-conventional ceremony would play out; and this is where Bethel shined. She understood who my wife and I are as a couple and started brainstorming different activities that would make sense for our ceremony. She worked with us extensively to make sure that our vision would come to life. My wife and I sincerely believe that without Bethels help and guidance, along with the time spent on calls, that our ceremony was going to feel more like a family obligation to attend rather than a true celebration of us.
Outside of wedding matters, Bethel is a very kind, empathetic person and radiates charisma. She's very thoughtful and full of great ideas.
We cannot recommend Bethel enough. We couldn't ask for a more amazing person to lead our ceremony.Working with Bethel has been one of the greatest experiences we had during wedding planning.

Bethel is amazing!
My husband and I hired Bethel to officiate our wedding and we are so grateful that we did! From the first conversation we had with Bethel we felt comfortable and knew that she would be able to capture our love. Using the homework assignments that she gave us, she was able to draft a beautiful ceremony. We weren’t sure what we wanted in our ceremony, but Bethel provided so many documents with examples of vows, rituals, ring exchanges, readings, etc, that gave us so many ideas. We originally considered having a friend officiate our ceremony, but looking back - I am so grateful we went with Bethel. She made the entire process stress-free. I can’t even begin to count the amount of people who asked us how we found Bethel, told us how much they loved the ceremony, and just raved about Bethel. Hire Bethel - I promise you will be so grateful that you did!My husband and I hired Bethel to officiate our wedding and we are so grateful that we did!

Personalized and thoughtful ceremony
Working with Bethel was amazing and we really appreciate all the details she put into creating our ceremony. We were recommended Ceremonies by Bethel as an officiant and are super glad we decided to work with her. We answered separate questionnaires about our relationship, Bethel walked us through the marriage license process, offered us lots of options for different parts of the ceremony, and asked for clarification when needed. We also had a ketubah, a Jewish marriage license, which Bethel beautifully walked us and our witnesses through the process of signing while explaining the importance. We would highly recommend Bethel as an officiant!Working with Bethel was amazing and we really appreciate all the details she put into creating our ceremony.

Bethel is the absolute BEST!!
Bethel was the key to making our wedding everything we ever wanted. Her homework made us think critically about each other and her suggestions for designing our ceremony made our wedding feel truly unique and perfect. She guided us along the way from our initial consultation through filing our marriage license while we were on our honeymoon. Her friendly disposition and genuineness made us feel so special and cared for. After the ceremony, just about everyone asked where we found her and told us what an amazing ceremony she designed with us. Countless people were raving about how wonderful she was, and we couldn't agree more. Bethel will always hold a special place in our hearts for all of the hard work and dedication she put into not just the different parts of our ceremony, but also creating a loving environment for us to begin our marriage.

Intimate and Personal
Bethel is a true gem! She made our destination wedding in La Jolla intimate and personal. Our grown children have commented on how much they loved our vows because Bethel captured our relationship so perfectly.Bethel is a true gem!

Best officiant ever!!
Bethel was an amazing officiant to have at our wedding!! She is the best in the business. Her dedication to get to know me and my husband was top notch and her process/ceremony/vows were incredibly customized and personalized, which really left a lasting impression with us and our families & friends. Bethel was also extremely responsive and flexible and stuck with us even through 3 date changes! Can't recommend her and her services enough!Bethel was an amazing officiant to have at our wedding!!

Amazing experience
I have been a guest at 2 weddings that Bethel officiated and they were both the most beautiful ceremonies. A perfect mix of moments that made you laugh and made you teary eyed. I would highly recommend her services!I have been a guest at 2 weddings that Bethel officiated and they were both the most beautiful ceremonies.

100% Choose Bethel to Marry You- 100/10 stars
Where to even begin. Bethel was referred to us as the best of the best, and once we met with her, we understood why. We considered having a close friend marry us, but after speaking with Bethel and working with her, I am confident in saying: hiring someone who does this not only professionally, but with passion and joy, was the best decision we made throughout our entire wedding planning process. While the cost was something to consider at first, looking back, I would cut out or cut back on anything to make a budget for her to preside.
To start, Bethel is kind. Genuinely, radiantly, kind. She is an excellent listener. She is creative, fun, and a joy to work with. Bethel provided the structure that we needed to actually pull this wedding off. She gave us deadlines. She got super creative with us to help make a meaningful ceremony that would give everyone in attendance a perception of what they needed. (Ex: We are not religious and didn't care to have any religion in our ceremony. On the contrary, we had a parent who flat out said they could not honor our commitment/marriage and wedding if it wasn't done by 'clergy' or in a church, but Bethel was so legit, we won them over on the beach. She created areas for them to say their prayers/blessing/wishes which didn't feel inauthentic to us. She made it meaningful and personal for everyone!)
She gets to know you and your partner and your relationship. She has you do homework which forces you to think deeply into your marriage, your partner, and why you chose them. It was everything that we needed and truly made getting married that much more special. She also gives you tons of options for vows, fun ceremony add-ins/ideas. She walks you through the marriage license process, She does SO MUCH!!! Also- she's an efficient and fast communicator, which I so appreciate. She makes the whole process fun, celebratory, exciting, and meaningful.
We both agree that she was the best decision that we made and if we ever renew our vows- Bethel, you'll be there!!
Our advice is - if you're debating it, stop- immediately sign the paperwork. You will not regret working with this incredible professional!Where to even begin.
