Alisha Sent on 02/05/2013Alan was awesome! My husband and I had a short private ceremony on a Yacht in Long Beach Harbor. Alan made us feel really comfortable, asked us questions and then implemented the story of how we met into the vows! It was wonderful, hilarious and perfect. I'm so glad that Alan was our officiant and I would recommend him every time. -

Lindsey M. Sent on 09/26/2022Roger Lundblade was amazing
My husband and I went through SoCal beach weddings which is in affiliation with great officiants. We chose Roger for our 9/24/22 ceremony and right out the gate, from his welcome video to ease of contact he was fantastic. He ensured my husband and I had everything we needed. His ceremony was tailored to us personally and full of the humor that drives our relationship. Our guests loved and adored him and I would highly recommend Roger to anyone looking for a combo of love and laughter and if you want someone who will 100% ensure your day and ceremony are perfect and everything you want. 10/10 would recommend. -

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. -

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! -

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! -

Claire S. 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! -

Larissa I. 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). -

Shannon Sent on 05/11/2017I really can't describe how wonderful the entire process with Great Officiants was, and Alan is seriously the greatest! When my fiance and I decided to elope in California, I was a little nervous about the entire process and was not sure where to begin. I contacted Great Officiants on a holiday in the early morning (time difference + my first day off to focus on planning), not expecting to really get far knowing most businesses were closed. I was actually pretty shocked to receive a call back right away. And, after speaking with Alan for all of 5 minutes, I knew that he HAD to perform our ceremony. He even offered to dress like a Jedi since we were getting married on May 4th. (We eventually decided against the Jedi-theme, but just the fact that he would be willing to roll with whatever we wanted to do was pretty amazing). Throughout the entire process, Alan and the entire staff at Great Officiants made me feel at ease, answered each and every one of my questions, and even accommodated a last-minute change in ceremony start time. They were quick to respond to all of my calls and emails, and were always on top of the ball from start to finish. They even handled the entire marriage license application and filing since we were coming in from out-of-state and did not want to spend any of our "vacation" time at a courthouse dealing with paperwork. We simply showed up and got married! Oh, and the location that Alan suggested was STUNNING! Being that I wasn't 100% sure of the location and doing the planning from New Jersey, I was pretty flexible on certain things, including specific location. Alan gave me his suggestions and I am beyond grateful that I listened. The beach we got married was truly the most gorgeous place I have ever been, and I can't imagine our wedding day being any different. Thank you Alan and Great Officiants for truly giving me my dream, and helping me with everything along the way. May the 4th Be With You, always! -

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! -

Great Officiant…are not just GREAT they are EXCELLENT they are the BEST!!! Highly recommended for any couples that are looking for an officiant on your
“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. You have a very good and kind heart Rev Renzo, it felt like we are long lost best friend. 😁 Thank you so much my FRIEND! See you on our traditional ceremony with parents both side this time, hopefully same date and place next year. Have a wonderful day Rev Renzo. Thank you and GREAT OFFICIANT thank you too.😁👍🙏🏼❤️ -

James R. 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!! -

I had a blast having Great Officiants as my vendor and having Al-x officiate our wedding!

Overall, it was such a huge success and a great pleasure to be officiated by Great Officiants! 🥰Great Officiants's reply:
