    Beautiful, personal ceremony

    Barbra curated a beautiful, personal ceremony that our families haven’t stopped talking about. Barbra took the story of our relationship and other personal anecdotes and was able to convey our story and emotions in such a wonderful way to our guests. She made our day so sentimental and memorable, and we are so grateful that she was a part of our special day.

    Nothing Short of Spectacular

    Barbra is the perfect wedding officiant! She not only shared great stories about us but also got the attendees engaged, laughing and crying at the same time! We are extremely happy with her services from beginning to end.

    successful hail mary

    One can plan a wedding to the finest of details, but there will be things you don’t plan on and you have to roll with the punches. The day before our wedding, our initial officiant (a relative) dropped out due to his own personal struggles. At the “final hour”, we were left to find an officiant who we felt represented us. Luckily, my wedding coordinator knew Barbra and put us in touch. Barbra called us that evening for a discussion on what we were looking for. By the sound of her measured and calm voice, we knew we were in good hands. Just minutes before the ceremony we met Barbra. My now husband and I felt the same about her. We both felt we already knew her and it was as if we had a hundred conversations beforehand, when in fact we only had one. She did not disappoint at the ceremony. She absolutely captured the essence of what we wanted to convey with eloquence and heart. There was a moment when I heard Barbra’s voice shift. It was then I knew she wasn’t just our officiant. She was a friend and was meant to be there all along.

    An Unforgettable Journey with Barbra: A Heartfelt Elopement Experience

    Barbra is an absolute gem! We can't express how thankful we are for having her as our officiant. She brought so much warmth and personal touch to our wedding day that it became an unforgettable experience.

    What sets Barbra apart is her unique and caring approach. She made our elopement so much more than just a ceremony. When I needed to adjust the time, she showed understanding and flexibility, ensuring our day was stress-free and perfect.

    She's not just an officiant; she's a true friend who made our wedding day filled with love and joy. We're more than happy to share our wonderful experience with her. From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for being a part of our journey.

    With love and gratitude,
    Lucy and Ryan Devera

    Beautiful, personalized ceremony

    We were recommended to Barbra by our DJ and it was such a great decision. We met with Barbra a couple months before the wedding where she let us choose from a large collection of beautiful readings. We chose some readings and she even let us customize parts of them to align better with our sentiments. At the rehearsal she led the practice so that we were all ready for the next day. The day of, the ceremony went beautifully. She queued us for all the actions and everything was very polished. The ceremony was very personalized and it felt like we had known each other for a long time. We would definitely recommend Barbra!

    Barbra is amazing!!!

    Barbra was absolutely WONDERFUL on our wedding day!!!! My wife and I eloped and got married outside the Santa Barbara Courthouse on their beautiful grounds, and Barbra helped make our big moment really beautiful and special. From the very beginning, she was extremely informative and made the whole process super easy. She had us fill out these questions online, and we loved doing it! It was a beautiful process to put our love down on paper and read what made our relationship so special and unique. It also made the ceremony very personal to us.

    Overall, I could not recommend her enough. If you need an officiant, Barbra is the one to call!! : )

    Barbra is amazing!

    It was extremely important to us that we had a genuine connection with our entire vendor team. From the first call with Barbra, it was clear she would bring something special to our wedding day. She is calm and caring and truly listened. She took time to understand who we are as individuals and what brought us together as a couple. She perfectly captured our our love and relationship and beautifully shared it with our friends and family during the ceremony. We are so incredibly grateful that Barbra was apart of our wedding day. After the ceremony, many of our guests approached us raving about her and the experience she created. She is a beautiful person and extremely thoughtful officiant.

    The thing no one prepares you for in wedding planning is wanting to continue working with your vendors after the wedding day!!

    The best officiant!

    We are SO glad that we chose Barbra to be the officiant for our wedding! We connected right away after I first reached out, and my now-husband and I both felt so comfortable when meeting with her and going over what would go into our ceremony. Our March 2020 wedding was cancelled just a week before due to the first shutdown for COVID-19, but Barbra was so sweet and supportive during the whole postponement process.

    As we got a few months away from our rescheduled date in December, we made the tough decision to reschedule a second time to an entire year later, but we knew we still wanted to get married in a small ceremony this year. Hours before another shutdown, we finally got married, and it was the most beautiful ceremony. We didn't have audio set up, and everyone was standing far away for social distancing, but Barbra's words about us still touched everyone! She's going to repeat the ceremony for us at our larger wedding next year, and we're so glad we get to work with her again!

    10+ Stars to Barbra

    From the first call to the day of the ceremony Barbra was so wonderful to work with! We wanted something relaxed and unplanned for our elopement ceremony. I was worried about not knowing all the details and Barbra was so caring and easy going about letting the day unfold perfectly for us. I could not have asked for a better day and Barbra was a huge part of making it so PERFECT! I will be forever thankful to her for the light, loving, thoughtful energy she brought to our wedding day.

    Wonderful Officiant with a Personal and Touching Ceremony

    We absolutely loved our experience with Barbra from our initial phone call to our counseling sessions and to our ceremony on the day of. It was such a great value and experience to do pre-marital counseling with her along the way. For one thing, the sessions are a nice quiet pause along what ends up being a very hectic and busy planning period and second it gave us a chance to get to know Barbra better and for her to get to know us. By the time our ceremony came around it didn't feel like a stranger was marrying us, but an old friend who knew so much about us and how we got to that day. She organized the ceremony so well and also incorporated some Filipino traditions into it for us. We would recommend Barbra whole-heartedly and also suggest going to counseling with her before!

    Excellent and Elegant

    Look no further! Book Barbra for a wedding officiant who will help you create a ceremony that is meaningful, personalized, heartfelt, and elegant. Barbra traveled all the way to Manhattan Beach from Santa Barbara to officiate our wedding. She was prompt, energetic, encouraging and very well prepared. She gave us plenty of assurance and support throughout the whole process. She made sure that she captured the essence and uniqueness of our relationship. She was easy to work with. She provided us with all the guidance we needed to create a very memorable wedding ceremony! Thanks a million Barbra!

    Fabulous experience! Perfect in every way.

    We had a beautiful wedding at my families estate in Montecito. Barbra was beyond fabulous and the ceremony could not have been better! The perfect amount of personal touches with tradition and prayer. We received compliments all night from our guests about how perfect the ceremony was and how great Barbra was. We would give her more stars if we could!! We are so pleased and thankful to have her share in such a magical day.

    Barbra is the way to go!!

    Barbra has a true gift! Our ceremony felt so personal, not just to us, but to our guests as well. The last thing I thought our friends and family would be talking about months later was how great the ceremony was, but ours were, they loved it! Barbra just has a way with words, captivating everyone in attendence. We spent a few hours with Barbra to get to know her before our big day and she was kind enough to drive 2+ hours each way on Thanksgiving day for our wedding! We feel so lucky to have had Barbra there. She even eased my nerves before the ceremony and made us both feel so comfortable being in the spotlight exchanging vows. We would totally reccomend Barbra!!

    We hadn’t even thought about an officiant until our wedding coordinator set up an appointment, nor did we know what we wanted or what we were looking for - and then we struck gold!

    Barbara was personalized and intimate, with the perfect touch of humor, candor, and advice!
    She was interested in us, our story, what we loved about one another, and wanted to customize a ceremony that would reflect that.

    Weddings in general are unquestionably a very personal endeavor, however, this is even more the case when it comes to ceremony itself. After meeting with Barbara a couple times to share stories, get her advice on everything from ceremony to vendors, and learning what to expect, we felt incredibly comfortable with her. This was in no doubt an advantage of her personality overall, and skillset as a marriage counselor and therapist as well.

    When it came to the ceremony itself, we simply let her guide us along. We were able to lose ourselves in the experience and simply enjoy the moment. Of course we loved the ceremony, but afterwards we were floored by how many people came up and applauded the officiant too - even days later people were raving about Barbara!

    When it comes to those special moments in a wedding that you’ll reflect on later in life, and that your attendees will too, you’ll want the right officiant to help create that. For that, you’ll want Barbara Mousouris!

    I really wish I could give 10+ stars to Barbra.. My husband and I are forever grateful to Barbra and her amazing ceremony!! Not only was Barbra the most wonderful officiant we could have ever asked for, but she is the most incredible person!! She spent time with us and got to know us so that she could make our ceremony incredibly personal and absolutely perfect!! Her words were so heartfelt, personal and special that it brought tears to almost everyone attending. I still have people coming up to me to tell me how wonderful she was and that they have never been to a ceremony so perfect! She tied in special things that my husband and I thought of each other and also spoke about our heritage and made our ceremony so incredibly unique. She was able to have everyones hearts filled with love and crying and laughing all in the same ceremony!! Barbra put her heart into officiating our wedding and that meant the world to me!

    Planning a wedding is not easy, but Barbra was there for us throughout the entire process and guided us along with her tips that were oh so helpful!! She was so wonderful at our rehearsal (and we had a very excited group ;-)) and connected so perfectly with our family and friends that we felt like we had known her forever!! She has this unique gift and talent to warm hearts and spread love! We cannot recommend Barbra enough!!! She is exactly the person you want marrying you and so SO much more!! I promise you, choosing Barbra will be the best wedding decision you make, because she sure was ours!!!

    Barbra - WE LOVE YOU!!! And cannot wait to share many years of friendship and memories!! Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for EVERYTHING!!!

    Barbra officiated our wedding in beautiful San Luis Obispo. The ceremony was everything we could have dreamed of and so much more. Barbra did such a wonderful job - her words were heartfelt, personal, special, and fun! She took the time to really get to know my husband I before the ceremony and even asked us some fun personal questions that she tied in perfectly to the ceremony. We knew within minutes of skyping with her that she was exactly what we were looking for. She had everyone laughing one minute, and crying the next. We continue to hear from all of our guests that it was the most beautiful wedding ceremony they have ever been to. She was a huge part of our wedding weekend and she felt like part of the family right away.

    We can't recommend Barbra enough! She is exactly what we were looking for and in addition to being our officiant, we also did couples counseling with her a few times before the wedding. The sessions were helpful, comfortable, and tons of fun. Barbra makes everything relaxing and stress-free, which is SO important to have for a bride/groom while they're planning a million other things around their big day.

    We love you Barbra! - Amy & Tim

    We couldn’t have asked for a better ceremony than the one Barbra wrote and performed for us. She captured our relationship perfectly in the succinct manner we were hoping for. Her personal touches and obvious thought she put into her work was truly appreciated. We would recommend Barbra for any couple hoping to find an officiant who can make their unforgettable day a perfect one. Our guests and our photographer had nothing but the highest praise for Barbra, and neither do we! We rate Barbra an 11 out of 10!

    Barbra is an absolutely lovely, joyful person and we are so happy to have had her officiate our wedding. She took time to get to know us, meeting at her home on a weekend afternoon with our son. The wedding was ultra casual, with just immediate family, on the beach, barefoot in the sand. Barbra infused so much beauty and warmth into the poems and vows, she really captured our gratitude and joy in each other. Everyone just thought it was perfect. We are so grateful to have found Barbra!

    My husband (Max) and I were just married on April 7, 2017 in California. Planning for the Big Day was a little tricky since we currently live in Iowa, so almost all of our vendors were people that we found online after extensive research. We were fortunate enough to find Barbra after quickly vetoing various officiants that we found on different websites; we’re very picky! I emailed Barbra to get a little more information from her and she immediately responded to us. After a few messages back and forth, we set up a Skype meeting where Barbra got to know my husband and me. It was an immediate sense of relief getting to know Barbra. She took the time to learn about Max and myself; from the day we met to our families to the wedding planning process. Not only did she learn about us, she also allowed us to learn about her. The mutual relationship that formed was such a comforting feeling to have with regards to one of the most important aspects of a wedding ceremony. Through the course of the next few months we were finally able to meet with Barbra in person during a visit to CA. Once we had a face-to-face with her, we officially knew that we had made the right decision. Barbra’s process in writing the ceremony was something that we felt very supported in. She took two different religions (and quite a bit of uncertainty about what we really wanted to be said during our vows; plus, last minute changes…oops!) and made it into a beautiful speech about us. She incorporated inside jokes and humor, sentimental moments and memories, and optimism and best wishes for the future. Our audience was also interested and involved; we received so many compliments afterwards about how lovely the ceremony was. Overall, it felt as though a long-time friend was our officiant and made our day so amazing. Thank you so much, Barbra! Your kindness, thoughtfulness, insight, and confidence made our day so special.

    Love,
    Kimberly & Max

    Barbra did a absolutely fabulous job at our destination wedding in New Orleans. She was personal, professional, and invested in her heart in making our ceremony as sacred and beautiful as we hoped. We have gotten countless comments saying, "That was by far the most romantic wedding I have ever seen in my life!" Barbra brought many of her own repertoire of ideas to the table and was always willing to tweak anything as I thought of more ways to make our ceremony special. She made people laugh, cry, and enter into the presence of what a ceremony is all about - two people committing their lives to each other. We did everything from hand washing ceremonies to sacred stones and candle lighting with special music and personal vows - and Barbra was the best cheerleader to have by your side on your big day. She knows how to energetically hold a space for people to unite their lives, and that is a tall task. She met with us several times beforehand to really understand our love story and to make sure it was represented in the clearest vision possible on our wedding day.

    We had met Barbra from a few different communities in town, but had we not, we still would have selected her and can't recommend her enough. She will go out of her way to make your ceremony spectacular, and she will be the first on the dance floor to help get your reception started. Plus, she looks fabulous in a little black dress, so you can be assured your wedding photos will look spectacular. Don't look any further than I Do Santa Barbara and Barbra. It's the best choice you can make.

    If we could give Barbra more stars we would!! When planning our wedding Matt and I knew we wanted to keep things small and intimate. When I found out Barbra helped to teach Matt in the second grade, I knew she would be a perfect fit!! From the moment I met her, she made me feel comfortable, she even convinced Matt to write his own vows. From start, to finish, our wedding was perfect. The ceremony was beautifully written and personalized just for us. Matt and I feel extremely lucky to have had the best officiate our wedding! We love you Barbra!!

    My wife (Tanya) and I had selected a friend of our to officiate our wedding at Firestone Vineyards in Los Olivos. To make a long story short; our officiant had a last minute scheduling conflict (about 2 months before the wedding) and we had to quickly find a replacement. Our biggest challenge was getting comfortable with someone who would officiate our wedding in just 2 months. To add to that, we live 5 hours away from our wedding venue so we would also need to find this level of comfortability exclusively from a phone call. My wife and I compiled a list of about 3-4 people who we would interview via phone and hopefully click with one of the prospective officiants. Barbara was the 4th and last person on our list. I cannot express enough how thankful I am that we decided to call. Not only did Barbara take the time to listen to what we wanted from our ceremony, but she delivered beyond our expectations! Tanya and I really wanted our wedding to focus on our relationship, our story, and why we had chosen to spend the rest of our lives together. Barbara truly took that to heart and crafted a ceremony that matched what we hoped for. After our initial conversation, Barbara sent Tanya and I a brief open needed questionnaire to get to know us as both individuals, and as a couple. The answers we gave were clearly reflected in the ceremony and it truly made us feel like she took our answers to heart and incorporated them into the ceremony. If you are looking for an officiant who will truly listen to how you envision your wedding, will make it as personal as possible, and will make the day all about you and your spouse, I would highly recommend Barbara. Barbara was so excellent and personal that family and friends assumed that Barbara was a longtime family friend. Numerous people were in shock when we told them we had met over the phone just 2 months before the ceremony.

    Barbra was so great! We got so many compliments on how lovely the ceremony was. We also opted for the Pre-Marital Counseling sessions she provides beforehand, which I would highly recommend and made us feel that much closer to her by the time of the ceremony.
    Thank you Barbra for being so supportive and thoughtful!

    Barbra was an absolute joy to work with. From our very first meeting, it was clear that Barbra was intent on getting to know my husband & me on a very personal level in order to make our ceremony as authentically "us" as possible. She created a beautiful, emotional and moving ceremony that suited our family just perfectly. We wanted my husband's two children to serve an integral role in the ceremony, as it was extremely important the day signified all of us becoming a family. Barbra worked with us to find the perfect reading for the children to recite and helped incorporate the children into a "family tree" ceremony. Her pre-wedding questionnaire was extremely thought-provoking and helped us both write our own personal vows to each other. She helped us keep our non-religious ceremony short and sweet, but full of rich words, love and strong, spiritual content. Barbra took all the stress and worry out of planning our ceremony and helped us to channel our focus in the right places. We would give her an extremely solid recommendation to anyone looking in the Santa Barbara area. She is a joy to work with.
