Dahlia Sent on 11/10/2025Best Officiant!!!!
I cannot say enough good things about Brandon. We live in Missouri and wanted to get married in San Diego. Looking for a minister to perform our elopement was nerve-wracking, but once we found Brandon and spoke with him, we knew that we would have no worries concerning the ceremony. Brandon was the best, always responding quickly to our questions and requests. When he finally met him in person on our wedding day, it felt like seeing an old friend. He arrived early, as promised, and everything went perfectly.
We highly recommend Brandon! San Diego is lucky to have such a great officiant. -

Brandon was absolutely amazing to work with! From the very beginning, he had such a calming and reassuring presence that instantly made us feel comfortable. His presence and direction during both the rehearsal and the ceremony put us completely at ease and helped calm any pre-wedding nerves. He led our ceremony with so much warmth and sincerity, and it felt so natural and heartfelt.
Our guests kept telling us how great Brandon was and how personal and genuine the ceremony felt, which meant so much to us. He truly made our ceremony everything we hoped it would be. We’re so grateful he was part of our day and couldn’t have asked for a better officiant! -

Brandon went above and beyond every step of the way, from our very first conversation to the moment we said “I do.” He made the planning process seamless and joyful, taking the time to truly understand our story and what mattered most to us. His premarital counseling was also an incredible experience. It was thoughtful, insightful, and deeply personal, which strengthened our connection and helped us grow as a couple in ways we’ll carry with us forever.
By the time our wedding day arrived, Brandon felt less like an officiant and more like family. His warmth, humor, and genuine care made the ceremony deeply personal and meaningful for us and every one of our guests. He made us feel seen, supported, and celebrated every step of the way.
We cannot recommend Brandon enough. If you want an officiant who goes above and beyond, truly invests in your journey, and leaves you feeling like you’ve gained a lifelong friend, Brandon is the one to choose! -

I absolutely loved working with Brandon! He was incredibly professional, friendly, and organized from start to finish. On the wedding day, he took initiative and handled everything seamlessly. I'm a wedding planner and our couple had an amazing experience with him and spoke so highly of their pre-marital counseling sessions. Guests adored him and the ceremony felt heartfelt and perfectly paced. I’ll definitely be recommending him to future couples and can’t encourage booking him enough! -

Lykai Sent on 10/16/2025Awesome Officiant
I had the pleasure of working with Brandon for one of my weddings, and he was an absolute joy to collaborate with! He was organized, punctual, and brought such warmth and professionalism to the ceremony. His delivery was heartfelt and engaging and you could feel how much care he put into making the couple’s story come to life.
From a coordinator’s perspective, I really appreciated his clear communication, flexibility during rehearsal, and calm presence on the wedding day. He made the process seamless for both the couple and our team. I would highly recommend Brandon to any couple looking for someone who can create a personal, meaningful, and beautifully executed ceremony. -

Brandon made our day special!
Brandon was absolutely amazing as our officiant on our wedding. He demonstrated genuine interest in making our day special and made sure that the ceremony reflected us. We value so much how reliable, kind, and great he was on the weeks before our wedding. On top of that, he gave us wonderful advice on how to write our vows. He is such a wonderful and warm person. Thank you, Brandon, on helping us make our wedding memorable and special! -

Planning a wedding is stressful but Brandon put us at ease and ensured that our ceremony was absolutely perfect! He met with us to understand what we wanted, what we didn't, and even helped organize our wedding party. I couldn't have asked for a better officiant. My guests agreed!
Thank you so much Brandon, you are the best! :) -

Brandon is amazing! My husband and I did premarital counseling with Brandon before our wedding and had Brandon as our wedding officiant. He went above and beyond to make our wedding perfect. Brandon is very personable and really takes the time to get to know you. I would highly recommend Brandon! -

Gabby Sent on 01/01/2022Marriage Counseling & Officiant
My goal was to find an officiant who would also walk my husband and I through marriage counseling. It took me months and then I stumbled upon Brandon on WeddingWire and in reading the reviews I immediately knew we had to have a conversation with him. After reaching out, Brandon responded promptly and we met over Zoom. My husband and I both really liked Brandon’s realness about his own marriage and knew we wanted him to walk us through this season. We met about 3 times for counseling in person and it was hard but in a good way. Brandon challenged us to really think about the life long decision we were about to make and what that practically looked like. He gave us some really great tools that have helped us in communicating, setting boundaries, and resolving conflict. And because he knew a little about our story and our heart to be married it made him officiating our wedding that much more sweet. We felt so covered and supported by Brandon during our wedding ceremony. Our ceremony was very simple and sweet and we included prayer and scripture but wanted it to be a good balance. We planned the details of the ceremony with Brandon and he gave us great guidance when planning the logistics, his insight and experience from his history of officiating was very helpful to us. We had several of our guest who are not religious and were touched by some of the words spoken by Brandon. We hope to meet with Brandon in the new year for more marriage counseling because we agree that getting married is not the end all be all. We want to make sure to have someone who can support and encourage us in the different seasons of marriage. Pick Brandon you wont regret it! If you don’t pick him make sure to do premarital counseling. So many couples spend thousands on their wedding day but very little on their actual marriage. You want to make sure you are asking the right questions and discussing specific things during your wedding season. Premarital counseling is an investment you will not regret. -

Got hitched without a hitch
Pastor Brandon is the best! We had such a great ceremony, Brandon made it so much fun & we felt completely comfortable in his capable & gracious hands. being non-religious, we didn't chose Brandon because he was a pastor, but his experience as a pastor sure helps with how he interacted with us & our guests. He certainly put everyone at ease with his easy-going manner, quick smile & ability to improvise. Seriously, if you are looking for an officiant who is present in the moment and full of love & happiness, look no further than Brandon. We are very grateful for his services and we highly recommend him!!

Jacqueline Sent on 10/26/2019Personable & Genuine! Great experience!
My husband is in the Marines and we chose to elope during his 10-day leave so we didn't have a lot of time to book an Officiant to marry us. In fact, we ended up booking Brandon within 24 hours of our ceremony and he was a DREAM to work with. Very responsive, professional, but personable! I felt like we were getting married by a close friend. I would highly recommend Brandon for anyone's wedding whether it's last-minute or a year away. -

Frances Sent on 10/22/2019The BEST officiant!
I want to start off by saying how incredibly professional and charismatic Brandon is. If you're looking for an officiant LOOK NO FURTHER!!!!
Before even choosing Brandon, I was so picky about who I wanted my officiant to be. I also had the pressure of my now husband making sure I chose someone we both would feel our most honest and comfortable self with. I don't know what it was but after seeing Brandons profile and reaching out to him, I knew he was the perfect fit and we truly did hit the jackpot with him! He helped give us many different examples of ceremony speeches and was more than willing to incorporate our Filipino traditions (even though hes never done it) and i'll tell ya, he rocked it!!!! We wanted a ceremony that was straight forward and as short as possible and he exceeded all of our expectations and did it the way we wanted without any hesitation. All of our 250 guests were so impressed by him. Many friends who aren't yet married, want him to marry them if that day ever comes and we really cant blame them. My family who are traditional Catholics, said that Brandon had a great stage presence and speaking voice that really engaged them in the ceremony from start to finish. Lastly, my husband who is personable but shy said that he felt so comfortable, it felt like his big bro was up there with him. All in all, Brandon really is something special and we were both so honored to have him marry us. THANK YOU SO MUCH BRANDON!!!!!!!
Love, The Ong's!

Brandon truly exceeded expectations in every day. I can very much say that Brandon made our whole wedding ceremony amazing. I had multiple people come up to me throughout the night raving about how wonderful he is. He is truly passionate about what he does and he is there for you through the whole process. I customized our whole ceremony script and hearing him read it brought out the love with every word. He made a huge impact on our amazing day and I cannot thank him enough!!! Look no further, Brandon is AMAZING! -

Marriage Forever was great to work with. As a photographer, I'm usually in contact with the bride and groom or wedding coordinator at all times. But Marriage Forever was very helpful in obtaining and relaying communications and changes to the program. Truly professional, fun, caring and dedicated to making sure the day went smoothly. Let me do you a favor...BOOK MARRIAGE FOREVER!!! -

I think chemistry is important when picking someone to unite you and your future spouse. Marriage Forever is a vendor I work with often, which I hired Brandon to be my officiant also. He is one of few officiants that offer counseling and marriage license submission immediately after the wedding. His words are so genuine and heart felt! Thank you! -
