  Our perfect wedding in Carmel

  We were planning our wedding in Carmel from our home in Florida when we heard about Brian Borgia from our photographer Joshua Rose. Brian was so punctual in all of his responses while writing perfect vows for our marriage incorporating our personal touches. He directed us to a location to obtain our marriage license once we arrived in California. Everything was perfectly planned and arranged for our arrival and the entire service, although private, was flawless.

  Highly recommend!

  My husband and I are so grateful to have had Brian as our wedding officiant. We made the decision to contact Brian based on his stellar reviews through Wedding Wire and were not disappointed. Brian sought to understand our unique story and future goals to create a customized ceremony- even meeting with us in person (with remote options available) beforehand. He truly captured the essence of our relationship- to the point that our guests were surprised to learn that we had not known Brian prior to the planning process. Brian is kind, personable (he truly makes you feel at ease), an excellent communicator, and so helpful. His emails included useful tips and reminders, and he was available for recommendations and referrals throughout the planning process. He actually suggested the florist we hired (and loved). We highly recommend Brian for your officiant needs!!

  Great experience!

  Brian recently officiated our 25th anniversary vow renewal. From the start, he was responsive, helpful, and very flexible. He provided a draft of our ceremony and worked with me on modifying it several times. Upon meeting him in person, we found him to be warm and kind, which made us feel relaxed and comfortable during our ceremony. We would definitely recommend him for weddings and vow renewals!

  Great officiant

  Brian was very responsive, gave great information on locations and vendors, answered questions timely and made everything easy. He wrote a lovely speech for our ceremony and made it seem personal.

  Best officiant I've ever had!

  Brian was very helpful throughout the process. We both really appreciate that he clearly took the time to read our personal stories and used those to inspire his own words during the ceremony. He speaks very clearly and projects. Very professional. His sense of excellent humor made the audience laugh, as well as us (the bride and groom).
  He may be the only officiant we've ever had, but he was definitely worth it. Thanks Brian!!

  Brian was a blast.

  We are so happy we chose Brian as our wedding officiant! He made the process super easy from start to finish. He was so quick with communication and helpful with any of my questions or requests. Even with no rehearsal prior to the wedding, the ceremony went smooth and was exactly what we wanted -- All thanks to Brian!!

  Professional, extremely helpful

  We decided to elope and have a very small intimate ceremony with our children after 10 years of planning. Brian made it so easy for us and helped us find the best location based on description of what setting we were looking for and it was exactly what we wanted. We are SO happy we decided to book him to be our officiant. He responds to emails very quickly and we really appreciated him taking the time to explain everything. Everything was perfect. As I tear up in writing this, thank you so much Brian for everything!

  Brian is a great officiant!

  Brian was our officiant for our wedding, and he did a phenomenal job. We talked through our preferences beforehand and he sent us a copy before the ceremony for us to look over. We were very pleased with his professionalism and dedication. Thank you, Brian!

  Excellent Experience

  Brian is absolutely wonderful. Prior to our wedding he was communicative, responsive and answered all of our questions. He was one of the easiest vendors to work with throughout the wedding process - he’s extremely competent yet relaxed.
  
  We thought our ceremony was perfect. People even asked us if he was a family member because it felt so natural. His sense of calm helped both of us feel relaxed and at ease during the rehearsal and ceremony. Would recommend Brian to anyone!

  You have to book brian!

  Brian made our wedding ceremony so meaningful and extremely special for us. Talk about the wedding ceremony of the year! All of our guests were blown away with how wonderful Brian beautifully captured our love story. No amount of words can describe how wonderful and incredible of a partner Brian is when it comes to planning for the big day. He was extremely prompt in his email responses (always responded within 24 business hours), provided such wonderful tips, explained the marriage license process thoroughly, and always provided such clear next steps for us to follow. Brian truly made us feel so at ease throughout the entire process. We also got the wonderful chance to meet with Brian over Zoom where he got to better understand our story and journey together as a couple. It truly did not feel fabricated at any point - nor did it feel like we were just another client of his. Brian made us feel like we were his friends and genuinely wanted to know who we were and what our story was all about. We felt so honored and lucky to have met Brian - he is truly such a wonderful human being. What an amazing and memorable wedding - and we owe it all to Brian. We can’t thank you enough, Brian! Once again, you have to book Brian - your wedding ceremony will be a million times better if you do!

  Excellent Elopement Service at Big Sur

  Brian prepared a wonderful elopement service for our wedding.
  With his professional direction we were able to put this together in just three weeks.
  Brian worked well with our chosen photographer in providing suggestions for coastal locations to have the service. The questionnaire he gave us provided him with excellent material on which to base our personalized wedding service.
  COVID-19 restrictions provided us with a couple of challenges. Brian was able to help us through all these challenges and suggest alternatives.
  On the day, Brian's quiet, professional style helped to calm our nerves. His polished service really highlighted the things we were looking for.
  Anna and I are truly grateful for the care and attention to detail that Brian provided for our wedding. Thank you for making it a perfect day.

  the best officiant

  Where do I begin? Our ceremony was so memorable and so beautifully written. My husband and I are not from the area, and Brian made our experience so easy and put us at ease with his professionalism, communication, and his ability getting to know us as a couple. He wrote the most beautiful ceremony that I will never forget. We did meetings and chatted a lot with Brian before hand about us as a couple and told him what we wanted out of our ceremony and he exceeded all our expectations. I cannot thank him enough for making our wedding ceremony so beautiful and the entire process so easy.

  Carmel / Monterrey renewal success!

  Through reviews I found a list of Wedding Wire officiants to help narrow my list for a surprise 25th anniversary renewal in the Carmel / Monterrey area. After reading reviews and philosophies, I selected Brian Borgia to help me out. He helped us select a beautiful beach side gondola for a personal renewal. He wrote the perfect renewal ceremony after an interview with myself, and it came off perfectly. Greatly Appreciated!

  Best officiant ever

  Brian Borgia was absolutely amazing from beginning to end! He was so helpful and always responsive (promptly) when I sent him and email as I was figuring things out with our destination wedding. He has a wealth of knowledge for all "wedding information" in the Monterey area and will gladly share this with you. When my husband and I decided to do a "Whole Package" wedding and reception we knew we still wanted Brian to be our officiant no matter what. We already felt that we had a rapport with him and he was the only one we wanted to perform our special ceremony. His questionnaire was very detailed and easy to fill out. This provided him with some good, solid background information to personalize our ceremony just as we wanted. When we met Brian over Zoom (we don't live in the Monterey area), we felt like we already knew him and were old friends. Our wedding day ceremony was incredible...he had everyone in tears (joyful tears) as he told our love story and laughing at just the right moments. He made us feel so comfortable and made it easy for us to get through without getting too emotional. Brian is very flexible, professional, and kind. I know a few of our guests spoke to him afterwards to share their thoughts of his "performance" and were very impressed with him. Everyone that was there shared this same sentiment with us as well, some even multiple times. They told us how beautiful our ceremony was - the words he chose to describe our relationship (past and present) and the way in which he conveyed our story was meaningful and sincere. We could not have asked for a more "PERFECT" wedding ceremony. It was everything we dreamed of and more! Thank you so much Brian!!

  Amazing experience!

  We had an absolutely amazing experience with Brian! Leading up to the big day, he was super communicative, organized, and helpful with any questions we had. He also took the time to meet us in person, which we really appreciated. He truly made our ceremony so special and personalized - he had remarkable balance of seriousness, tradition, romance, and laughs. We honestly could not have pictured a more perfect ceremony that was so personal to us. SO many of our guests told us how amazing he was as an officiant - and we could not agree more! He also helped save our floral arch when the wind almost knocked it over - you rock Brian!!! Wish we could give Brian 10 stars!!! Thank you so much!!!

  Professional and Kind

  Brian officiated our mini wedding at Hyatt Highlands Inn Carmel in June and we were so thankful for his kind presence and expertise! He provided all the information we needed regarding wedding license info, tips and checklists, and was always available via email and zoom. I loved that he set up a zoom meeting a few weeks prior to our wedding so we could do a face-to-face, get to know us, and ask him any last minute questions - especially because we live over an hour away from Carmel! I appreciated how friendly and kind he was with our friends and family. He also works with his wife Heidi who does photography at weddings, but unfortunately she was doing another wedding on our date. I am so happy that Brian was the one officiating our wedding. His speech was perfect, funny, and had everything we wanted to include in a short period of time. He even mailed our wedding license for us and sent us a follow up email with FAQs about how to obtain a copy etc. Thank you Brian for being a part of our wedding journey!!!!!

He even mailed our wedding license for us and sent us a follow up email with FAQs about how to obtain a copy etc. Thank you Brian for being a part of our wedding journey!!!!!

  Thank you! I loved being a part of your wedding day and wish you all the best in your life together : )

  Amazing Monterey Ceremony!

  Brian went above and beyond as our wedding officiant. He really takes the time to understand your personal love story and made our ceremony very memorable. He knows all the right questions to open you up. He made the whole process stress free, which gave us time to focus on writing our vows. When I accidentally said “I do” too early he turned it into a memorable funny moment with a quick joke about my eagerness to be married. Oops!
  I would recommend him to all my family and friends in the future.

  Absolutely flawless!

  Brian was a true joy to work with as we designed our wedding ceremony. His guidance and patience in walking us through the marriage license process was invaluable, and we would have been very lost and confused without him! Brian worked with us on zoom (we live in NYC) to plan out our ceremony and by the time we met in person at our wedding, we felt like old friends! Brian is professional, warm, funny, and a fantastic writer; we were absolutely delighted with our entire experience and cannot recommend Brian enough!!! -C&A

  Our Perfect Wedding

  Brian was a fantastic officiant. We got married at the Tickle Pink Inn in Carmel Heights. Brian communicated several times before the event so we knew exactly what to expect. On the special day, we were of course nervous and he arrived early, made contact and gave us a sense of relaxation. He chatted with others and was very friendly. The ceremony itself was a breeze as he walked us through it perfectly. Thank you Brian for making the day so special. I'd recommend you without hesitation. John & Melissa

  Great Experience

  Brian was a great help planning the wedding. He put me in contact with the hotel that hosted the wedding and was always prompt responding to any email communications. He kept both my husband and I up to date with everything we needed for the ceremony and even sent us his speech to pre approve of for the day of the wedding. We both would highly recommend him to anyone looking for an officiant in the Monterey Carmel area!

  Big Sur Elopement

  Brian was everything we had hoped for. Coming from Virginia to elope in California, my wife and I were unsure of what legal steps to take and locations to check out. Brian was very attentive to our situation and provided thorough answers to all of our questions. He was so helpful!! Even on the day of our ceremony when fog ruined our original spot, Brian was cool calm and collected as we went searching for new locations (went back and forth down the coast about four times and he didn’t complain once). We are so glad we went with Brian! Don’t hesitate, book him.

  We selected Brian to be our wedding officiant for our small ceremony at Fanshell Beach on the 17 mile Drive Monterey on May 21, 2016! From the very beginning upon our first contact with Brian via phone and email, we knew we made the right decision! Brian was very professional, kind, thoughtful and incredibly helpful in assisting us in selecting our wedding venue, flowers, photography, etc., and he wrote and delivered such a "beautiful" personalized ceremony for our special day. Brian was very quick to respond to any questions and/or needs throughout our wedding planning and he also took the time to personally meet with us to go everything prior to our actual wedding day. We are beyond pleased with Brian's services and would highly recommend him to anyone who is looking for a professional, knowledgeable, warm, caring and incredibly kind wedding officiant! Thank you Brian!
