    Redwood wedding with loved ones!

    Sam was exceptional in every way you could imagine. My now wife and I reached out to Sam with a pretty short timeline and really no idea what was all involved or any significant plans. He got back to our request almost immediately and we scheduled a meeting within a few days. He walked us through the process, shared all types of ideas for different ceremony options and even helped us find a beautiful location for us and our close family members. Sam made us feel extremely comfortable, understood our needs and he was able to provide us a magnificent day neither of us will ever forget. Sam was extremely flexible with timing and organizing everything. He even helped us in honoring one our recently passed family members that was supposed to attend our wedding. It was a lovely moment. In addition to the amazing ceremony, Sam is genuinely one of the nicest people either of us has met. You could tell immediately how much he enjoyed helping us and being a part of our major life milestone. We can’t thank him enough!

    You were both so quiet and sweet--whodathunk SKYDIVING? Let's plan a jump someday--I need some pros to coax (translation: push) me out of the plane! Thank you so much for letting me be a part of such a beautiful day in the redwoods!

    Our beach wedding

    We just got married on the beach at
    the end of Sept. We were cutting it
    close looking for an officiant. So I
    searched online. I was contacted by
    several people, but as soon as I spoke to Sam I knew to look no further. Had
    a very pleasant first conversation,
    Pricing was great, and he was
    professional and immersive in getting
    to know a bit about us. He created a wonderful ceremony. We knew what
    to expect and he still pleasantly
    surprised us with a few things. We
    had a few family members running
    late and he kindly waited for the rest of the family before starting. I HIGHLY
    recommend him! Thank you for
    creating a beautiful wedding
    ceremony for us. He even withstood
    the cold with us on the beach.

    Sam was the kindest and most professional officiant. He went above and beyond to help us and I am so happy he was the one to marry us! I highly recommend his services.

    Awesome officiant!

    Sam was amazing - highly communicative, very professional, and just a super pleasant person to work with. From our first call we immediately felt at ease and confident that his officiating would be considerate, personal, and fun. His guidance throughout the process was also super helpful and took all the stress out of it. We would highly recommend!

    Equal Opportunity Officiants's reply:

    Kevin and Amy, your wedding was absolutely EPIC. Such an incredible venue, and your style of decoration was so simple and elegant--an absolutely perfect day for an absolutely perfect pair! Thank you!

    Fantastic coaching/mentoring

    These folks are fantastically knowledgable, down to earth, supportive, patient, tender, and professional. I could not have chosen a better outfit to help prepare me for officiating the wedding of a dear friend, and the ceremony went off without a hitch. Thanks to Rev. Sam Fullerton and his organization for the coaching and mentoring that I was lucky enough to receive - could not have done it without these folks.

    The best experience we could've asked for!

    Rev. Sam was amazing!! He took the time to learn who we were, and it felt incredibly caring and personal. After the ceremony, our family could not stop talking about how special Rev. Sam's presence was. We truly couldn't have asked for a better experience. Highly recommend!

    Equal Opportunity Officiants's reply:

    You two young lovers were some of my absolute favorites. The smiles that were absolutely plastered to your faces did no good at disguising the love you shared that day--what an honor it was to be a part of it! Thank you!

    HIRE HIM!! and thank me later

    Sam truly made our wedding ceremony one of a kind and stress free! From our initial call down to the week before the ceremony, he has checked in with us and completely personalized our special day. He took his time on zoom calls, asking questions and Got to know us as a couple. When I had a vendor issue, he offered a hand to help solve my problem even though he didn’t need to. He made us laugh, shed a tear and gave us all the warm and fuzzy feeling we wanted for our ceremony. He even helped me figure out how to walk down the aisle! He is beyond exceptional and I highly recommend him for any wedding ceremonies and vow renewals.

    Dear Beah,
    You made Kevin blush so much that I think it had me blushing. You two are really special--one of the most fun couples I've had the pleasure of working with. Your playfulness together was adorable and I love every second of following the two of you on the socials! Thank you for trusting in me!

    Excellent experience

    So thankful for the quick service of this vendor ! Super responsive & willing to assist. Couldn’t have asked for a better experience :)

    Equal Opportunity Officiants's reply:

    After being absolutely appalled at the response from another officiant, I was SO HAPPY that you called me. I will never forget that morning. "She said what??? I'll be there in 40 minutes. Let me put on some pants" :) Situations like that make me proud to do what I do, and I was honored to be such an integral part of your special day.

    Dream ceremony

    Sam is the absolute BEST! From our first encounter at the Santa Clara wedding Fair me and my husband knew he had to officiate our wedding. Sam and my fiancé connected over their beards as they both complimented each others and got more information on the services Sam provided. It took us a few weeks to get back to Sam as we were trying to confirm the ceremony’s location before booking him. Once we reached out through email he knew exactly who we were as he had remembered us from that day even after meeting so many other people. Sam was a pleasure to work with and made our entire ceremony preparation as easy and stress free as possible. Me and my husband had no idea as to what a ceremony consisted of and Sam made sure to provided as many options and information as possible. During our zoom meeting he asked us all the right questions and was genuinely interested in allowing us take charge on how we wanted our ceremony by allowing us to decide how long we wanted the ceremony, what readings we wanted and also let us know of a unity ceremony. Our entire zoom call was full of smiles, excitement and nerves that were creeping up as the date was getting closer. Sam assured us of his arriving time on the day of the ceremony and checked in with us as we were heading to the City Hall. We had to make a few last minute adjustments to our unity ceremony but Sam made sure to take care of a new plan and provide us the best ceremony we could have dreamed of. Sam welcomed us at the front of the City Hall with a big smile, snapped a few pictures of us and embraced us in a big hug assuring us our wedding day was going to be beautiful. We all walked up to the Fourth Floor North Gallery where Sam allowed us to do our vows privately. Sam continuously checked in on me and my husband as we were waiting on my husbands family to arrive and was very comforting. Once our ceremony began Sam had me and my Husband and all our guest in tears and smiles. After the ceremony we had a lot of family members and guests ask us if we have known Sam for a long time and if he was a friend of ours because they could tell he genuinely loved and cared for us and our special day. Hearing this from our friends and family confirmed that me and my husband made the best decision choosing Sam as our officiant because he made the ceremony feel like it was a family member and someone we greatly admire marrying us.

    Wonderful! We are so glad we had the opportunity to work with Sam.

    We feel honored Rev. Sam officiated our ceremony! He is professional, caring, trustworthy and thoughtful. As other reviewers have mentioned, he really puts thought into incorporating special elements of your relationship, of you as a couple, and your culture and traditions to create a special ceremony.

    He is responsive, easy to talk to, and he makes you feel like you have known each other forever. This creates a sense of trust and friendship, that I found to be super important while planning a wedding. Thank you sam!

    Equal Opportunity Officiants's reply:

    You two have been together so long--but I'm really happy you waited to knot it up so that I could be a part of such a lovely day! And I got to perform my first Las Arras Matrimoniales ceremony for you, which was beautiful and enlightening. Thank you so much, to two of the sweetest I know. I've only had one more couple since you that has inspired me to use their answers in the same manner I used yours--your words were beautiful!

    Napa wedding

    Working with Sam was amazing. Our ceremony was very short, but he was still able to work on a few readings as well as adding a personal touch. All of our guests were impressed and enjoyed the ceremony as much as we did!

    Equal Opportunity Officiants's reply:

    That was a cold day in March--I don't know how you kept those bare shoulders from shaking!!! I still think of that ceremony all the time. You and C were the perfect couple to be my first with the new company, and I love that I get to run into you around town every once in a while! We should all grab lunch sometime!

    Equal Opportunity Officiants guaranteed a completely stress-free, memorable, and cherished experience.

    Reverend Samuel’s professionalism, attention to detail, and creativity in weaving our narrative into his speech were remarkable. He skillfully guided us through the entire process, aiding us in understanding ourselves and each other on a deeper level.
    Additionally, Samuel is keen on infusing cultural elements into weddings. Being aware that we are Chinese speakers and that our grandparents in China would be watching the ceremony live, he graciously offered to say a few words in Chinese. To prepare, he worked with a Chinese tutor and practiced diligently up until the last moment before our ceremony.

    We wholeheartedly recommend Samuel to our friends and anyone in need of an officiant who goes above and beyond to make their special day truly unforgettable.

    Wonderful Ceremony Thanks to Reverend Sam!

    We are so glad we found Reverend Sam! He made our ceremony very special and was a good communicator all throughout the wedding-planning process.

    Our first meeting was over dinner and it set the tone for the rest of our time working with him. Sam was really organized and seemed like he had a lot of experience right off the bat. We were behind on wedding planning, so that was a big relief. We had a great conversation during dinner; it really felt like we were doing a group project with a couple of friends, not an interview, and we went home feeling like we were in good hands. We learned a lot about him and he did a great job figuring out what we needed and what we wanted for our ceremony.

    He crafted the ceremony after getting to know us and included readings that reflected our values and story. He even learned a few phrases from my husband's language! He accommodated some very last-minute changes and everything flowed smoothly.

    The ceremony had it all: it was emotional, light-hearted, and fun. That was exactly what we were hoping to achieve.

    Equal Opportunity Officiants's reply:

    All I can say is--you two know how to throw a party! Sleepy Mill Valley was popping off with the combination of Bosnian and American pop music--such a blast! I really enjoyed working with the two of you. Your dedication to each other is something really special, and it was an honor to be a part of the marriage.
