Jennifer M. Sent on 10/16/2023We 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. -

Believe all of the amazing reviews! Bethel created such a beautiful ceremony for us. Her positive energy is just magnetic and she is so thorough in her work. Our guests would not stop talking about how wonderful our ceremony was thanks to her! She truly cares about her couples and really tries to get to know you so she can deliver a heartfelt ceremony! She’s the absolute best!! -

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!!!! -

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! -

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. -

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! -

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!! -

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!
Thank you, Bethel, for everything! -

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. ) -

Bethel was absolutely amazing! The work she put in to learning about us, and the ceremony we wanted was outstanding. She made the ceremony so special. We had many guests compliment us on how beautiful the ceremony was, and how great she was. We are so happy to have met her and had her be part of our special day. Thank you 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! -

Chris D. Sent on 10/29/2020Bethel 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. -

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. -

Erin B. Sent on 01/21/2022100% 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!
