Nick Sent on 05/07/2025Roger Lundblade is the best!
We went with Roger at Great Officiants as we wanted to bring some entertainment to our wedding and he is hilarious! He had us and our guests laughing, while remaining respectful, and guiding us through the ceremony. We had multiple guests ask us for his information after and we would absolutely recommend him to everyone. -

Larry did an amazing job as our wedding officiant. From the start, he was easy to work with, kind, and professional. He took the time to understand what we wanted for our ceremony and made sure everything felt personal and meaningful. His positive energy and warm presence set the perfect tone, making our special moment even more memorable. He spoke beautifully and made us and our guests feel comfortable and engaged. We are so grateful to have had Larry as our officiant and highly recommend him to anyone looking for someone who truly cares about making a wedding ceremony special. -

Renzo was our officiant. We had our ceremony at the Little Corona Del Mar Beach. It was just us, toes in the sand, along with our photographer and videographer. Renzo had a beautiful ceremony for us and everything was perfect! Thanks Renzo for making us official on our anniversary! #222 -

Marika Sent on 09/18/2024A beautiful ceremony
We hired Al-x as our officiant and she was so gracious and kind throughout the whole process, from our first meeting over video call to the very personalized and entertaining ceremony. She took all the details of our relationship that we sent over and shared them in a very special way as we prepared to say our vows. She was also very calming as I was a little late to the ceremony and made sure I signed everything properly lol. Thank you again for everything Al-x! -

From our first conversation with Father Geoff was very attentive to our ideas for our ceremony, he provided guidance from how to get our marriage license to the different ways our ceremony could go. He accommodated our bilingual family and traditions as well. All of our guests commented on how much they enjoyed the ceremony and his service. -

Claire Sent on 07/17/2024Alan was amazing!!!
Alan was the most amazing officiant that we could have asked for. The ceremony is the reason that everyone is gathered at the wedding, and Alan absolutely nailed it. During the planning process, he was so helpful in giving us ideas on how to customize the wedding to be very unique to us, and in the end, everyone remembered how amazing the ceremony was, and that is thanks to Alan.
We did a tea ceremony (just us, no parents), a hand blessing, a personalized reading, and wrote our own vows. Alan balanced the perfect mix of making it romantic while also adding in very appropriate jokes to lighten the mood as well.
Lastly, my husband's name is often mispronounced, and many vendors were not able to pronounce his name right. Alan took the time to make sure he pronounced it properly, and that was something we appreciated so much.
Highly recommend booking with Alan, and if possible, booking the service to write your ceremony from scratch because that is how we ended up with the most beautiful wedding we could have asked for! -

Jesus Sent on 06/29/2024Exceptional Officiant Joe Made Our Wedding at Redbird Unforgettable
We couldn't have asked for a better officiant than Joe for our wedding at Redbird in downtown Los Angeles. From our first meeting, Joe's warm and personable nature put us at ease. He took the time to get to know us as a couple, and his dedication to making our ceremony personal and meaningful was evident in every detail.
Joe crafted a beautiful and heartfelt ceremony that perfectly captured our love story and values. His words were sincere and touching, and his delivery was flawless. Many of our guests commented on how moving and unique the ceremony was, and we owe it all to Joe's exceptional talent and dedication. His balance between the Spanish and English we wanted was perfect and easy for our guests to follow.
Not only did Joe guide us through the ceremony with grace and professionalism, but he also provided invaluable support and advice in the lead-up to the big day. His calm and reassuring presence was a true blessing, and we felt incredibly fortunate to have him as part of our wedding.
Getting married at Redbird was a dream come true, and Joe played a significant role in making it an unforgettable experience. We highly recommend Joe to anyone seeking an officiant who is not only professional and eloquent but also genuinely caring and invested in making your day perfect. Thank you, Joe, for making our wedding day everything we hoped for and more! -

My husband and I absolutely adored Jim Patton and his humor from our first interview call - and he was definitely the right guy! He went through our ceremony with a clear voice, a witty and humorous script, and a kindness and care that was felt by not only my husband and I, but also all our guests! We are incredibly grateful to Jim for elevating our ceremony and making it such a wonderful experience and memory! -

Larissa Sent on 04/26/2024Amazing, easy and professional! Loved my officiant!
Met with Alan over the phone to discuss what sort of ceremony I envisioned. I "interviewed" two who Alan suggested would be a good fit for what kind of ceremony I wanted. And I ultimately settled on Reverend Clint Huff who I absolutely LOVED! Rev Huff walked me through the whole process over the phone before I even decided to use him. He made me feel comfortable and happy about the whole process (since I had NO idea what to expect). -

Amy D. Sent on 04/25/2024Larry with Great Officiants was amazing!
Great Officiants was super easy to work with and Larry Moriga was absolutely phenomenal and one of the main highlights of our big day! Everyone kept coming up to us to compliment the officiant and his speech. We chose the Greatest Package and could not have been happier with our personalized script and all the fun little twists that Larry worked in. We also asked him to take a selfy with us and our guests and he was such a good sport. He took the time to set up multiple check ins beforehand to make sure we were totally happy with what he had prepared. Book Larry for your wedding and you will not regret it, we cannot thank him enough! -

“The Day”. Very professional, nice and kind persons (Alan, Katie & of course my officiant Rev Renzo Torres).
Our message to Rev. Renzo …..
Good day Rev Renzo. Via and I are truly happy & we can't thank you enough for blessing our elope wedding at Terranea Resort with a solemn, intimate, simple and fun ceremony all at the same time which led us to a surreal feeling all thru-out that night.

Christine Sent on 10/03/2023My sons wedding
I worked with Great Officiants professionally as a Director of Catering for 10 years. Alan and his officiants were such a great asset to my couples and always amazing to work with on wedding days. Working with him on my sons wedding day was completely different however. Being on the emotional side of a wedding versus the business side is a whole new ballpark and Alan made it so easy for myself, my son and my daughter in law.
My son is in the military, we only had 2 weeks to pull off his wedding. Alan not only took the stress off of the couple by taking care of the marriage certificate but arrived early on the wedding day to meet with them and make sure he gave them the ceremony THEY wanted (because of logistics he was not able to meet with them ahead of time) put them at ease and made it really fun for them. Coincidentally the brides Aunt and Uncle that attended the wedding were married by Alan as well and remembered him =)
Alan I can't thank you enough for taking such amazing care of Jake and Maddie and making there ceremony so special and such a reflection of who they are. As I said before professionally you were always top notch but working with you personally you took amazing to a whole 'nother level!! -

James Sent on 09/28/2023Exactly what we were looking for
ROGER LUNDBLADE!!! We thank you!!!! The process with Great Officiants could have not been easier. We chose Roger as our officiant and it must have been meant to be because he was a blessing. He made it so easy, we spoke on the phone and FaceTime to discuss what we envisioned for our wedding and Roger somehow put it all together and made it sound absolutely seem-less, even making us and our guests laugh(which we requested). It was the perfect mix of formal with a touch of humor. I also really appreciated him coaching me before and during the ceremony, very reassuring in a stressful time.
Very authentic and extremely professional. Roger is very talented and I highly recommend him and Great Officiants! -

Don’t hesitate and please take my recommendation! Alan Klatz by far made our day forever memorable! Had my husband and I ease our nerves. He made the best jokes. Had everyone laughing. He does it best. Did not disappoint us at all. I’m glad we had him as our officiant. Thank you for making our ceremony more laughable and never boring!! -

Lauren Sent on 07/09/2023Personable and easy to work with!
We are absolutely thrilled that we went with Great Officiants for their services, and we were so fortunate to have A. Mauricio Lubong presiding over our ceremony. From the start, it was easy to work with them, and we were appreciative of the chance to talk with a few in their lineup beforehand. It was hard to pick just one among them, but ultimately, we felt such warmth with Mauricio, who then took it a step further to really get to know us and our story. After providing him with responses to his thoughtful questions as “homework,” we were truly gifted with a touching and personable service by Mauricio. Our friends and family still comment on how well he spoke to our love for each other and asked if we had known him personally beforehand. It was also a bonus that Mauricio is a notary who could issue our marriage license, so we felt taken care of with that logistical but very important aspect as well. We are incredibly thankful to have found Great Officiants, and we will forever cherish the words shared by Mauricio with us on our special day. -

Simone Sent on 05/31/2023Roger Lundblade is the BEST!!
We chose Roger because of his experience in Hollywood as a comedian, it was exactly what we joked about wanting - and there he was on the website! He spent two hours with us on Zoom asking so many great questions about our love story. He's a good writer who created our ceremony with so much humor, tenderness, and romance it felt like he'd known us for our entire relationship. Our guests were so impressed by his fun personality and a couple of surprises for the crowd too (only because we agreed to it) - he will go as 'out there' or as 'reserved' as you want. He's the BEST. I highly recommend Roger for an intimate, caring experience of love and fun! -

Matthew Sent on 05/24/2023Michael Thieling is the BEST officiant
We got married by Michael Thieling this Saturday, 05/20/2023 and we can't recommend him highly enough. From the first phone call to pronouncing us husband and wife, he made the process stress free, fun and easy! Michael was very informative about the marriage process and answered all our questions about the license process and the ceremony.
He provided valuable input when helping draft how the ceremony would flow, and helped guide us to decisions when we had no idea what to do.
On the actual wedding day he arrived early, helped make sure we were all set for the ceremony, (even laughing when I forgot my ID even though he reminded me5 different times) and did last minute walkthroughs before it was showtime. His officiating was wonderful. He had exactly the vibe we wanted: funny, friendly, sentimental. I asked for the Princess Bride beginning and he did it to perfection. Everyone laughed!!!
The way he talked to us and made everyone feel included, many of our guests asked how long Michael had been friends of ours and they were all surprised when we would say he was an officiant we had hired and just met a few months prior.
Again, we cannot suggest Michael highly enough. He will definitely make your ceremony amazing! -

Michael Theiling from Great Officiants is the best wedding officiant ever!! We couldn’t be more happy with our ceremony! He listened to our needs, and gave us everything that we wanted and beyond! Our wedding ceremony was delivered so perfectly by Michael, that guests thought Michael was our close friend! Everything we discussed, he incorporated in our ceremony, even including some information about some guests, who attended. It was so engaging, made people laugh, cry and really feel the love we have for each other! Hire Michael quickly! -
