    Elopement Dream Team

    We had the honor of having Rose as our officiant for our platinum elopement, and she truly made our ceremony unforgettable. With Grace and warmth, she guided us through our vowels under the big oak tree in the vineyard at Beltane Ranch, crafting a moment that was intimate and deeply personal. Rose shared the story of how we met with such eloquence, making it feel as though we were surrounded by our loved ones. Her her ability to create a sense of closeness in our intimate ceremony was truly remarkable. Rose was an essential part of our elopement dream team, which included our talent, videographer photographer, stylist, wedding planner, and musicians. These incredible individuals were witnesses and loved ones making our day extraordinary with their efforts. We even had our beloved Wally, the ringbearer, adding a touch of whimsy to our special day. For anyone seeking elopement inspiration, Rose's expertise in art felt approach, made her the perfect choice. #PlatinumElopement #ElopementInspiration #ElegantElopement #IntimateCeremony #WallyTheRingbearer #BeltingRanch #BigOakTreeWedding #ElopementDreamTeam

    One of our best decisions, when planning for our wedding day, was to find Rose.

    From the very first connection, Rose was very open, supportive, and encouraging as we mapped out our plans for our wedding ceremony. The day of our wedding was everything we wanted. Rose was very professional while making personal connections with all of us. We felt like she was a long time friend and supported everything we wanted for our ceremony. She was open to meeting us where we wanted to get married which was right on the beach. We give her our highest recommendation!

    THE Best!!!

    We found Rose through our wedding venue, The Inn at Occidental. Rose was an absolutely amazing officiant. She was a ray of sunshine on our special day. We are not from the area, so we did not know what to expect. She made us very comfortable by contacting us a number of times prior to our arrival. That in itself made it that much more personal. I'd recommend her for your special day. Cheers to Rose!

    Rose is wonderful!

    We had Rose meet us in a natural redwood reserve to do our vow renewal. It was just the three of us. The vows were beautiful. She is not an outdoorsy person, but she hiked a bit in for us and was a trooper about it. She took pictures of us so we could remember our redwoods renewal. She has a bright, likable personality.

    Rose gave us the wedding ceremony of our dreams!

    We found Rose through our wedding venue, Auberge du Soleil, in the Napa Valley. She is one of their preferred wedding officiants and was highly recommended to us. After reading through countless rave reviews and testimonials from couples who have been married by Rose, my husband and I knew that we wanted her to officiate our ceremony. When we met Rose in person, we found that she is every bit as warm and wonderful as they say! Rose is a great listener. After talking with her about our relationship, our blended family, and our differences in religion/spirituality, she helped us to pin-point what was most important to us for our petite micro wedding ceremony. She immediately put us at ease and offered thoughtful and creative solutions for handling our marriage license and designing our ceremony. Rose made our wedding day so incredibly special and gave us a ceremony beyond our dreams. Even through a little light rain, her calming presence helped us to stay focused and in the moment during our ceremony. When she speaks, her words carry so much meaning and intention. Being married by Rose felt like we had chosen a close family friend to officiate our ceremony. We are so happy that our gorgeous ceremonial wedding certificate bears her signature. We will always think of her warmly for being such a huge part of our special day and for giving us one of the most precious memories of our lives!

    Refined Warmth

    Let me just begin by saying...thank GOSH we found Rose!!! Her warmth, professionalism, refinement, and poise is what you want on your wedding day. It's money well spent to hire a professional officiant (spoken by someone who began with the intention to have a relative do the job) and I don't mean just ANY professional officiant (spoken by someone who interviewed several and can attest that they all have very different perspectives, Rose's stood out above the rest!). Rose executed our ceremony with precision and grace, she exuded ease and joy, and allowed us to completely melt into the moment without any anxiety or doubt. She guided us astutely through the steps of the ceremony and included every single bit that we wanted included (but in the haze of being bride and groom would never have remembered to say or do ourselves!). I cannot recommend Rose more highly. If you want to be in capable hands and able to relax fully into your dreamy wedding day, choose Rose to be your officiant.

    Magical, personalized, flexible, great attitude

    Rose helped us craft a customized ceremony based off of her terrific template to make a ceremony that was perfect for us. She travelled further than we initially discussed and was absolutely flexible with us as we ironed out the details of our small elopement during the Coronavirus pandemic. Rose truly made our ceremony and our words to one another feel magical; we felt like we were the only ones there.

    Wedding Officiating

    Rose officiated our wedding and was phenomenal! She was quick to respond to texts and emails and worked endlessly with us to make sure that we had the wedding ceremony we wanted and needed. She researched aspects of the ceremony that were unfamiliar to her and was very good about ensuring that any last many changes were taken up with myself and the groom directly before implementing. We are so appreciative of the ceremony we had and of the care and diligence Rose took to make our vows special.

    Special Circumstances & Special Officiant

    Rose was extremely responsive and called me within the first day of emailing. We chatted on the phone and was extremely helpful as my now husband and I were going into this blindly. Due to covid we had to push our wedding to next year. However, we needed to have our marriage documented before school began (as it is an Adventist school and I am not allowed to live with my fiancé). I was not sure how to go about this and she offered to meet up with us, do all the paperwork AND still give us a beautiful small ceremony with family without any hesitation. I can not wait for our actual wedding next year and for her to be officiating! Cheers to Rose!

    Very happy

    Rose was available on short notice, took the time to get to know us, and was able to work around our hand written vows. We wanted a completely non-religious wedding and Rose was perfect, offering some nice literary quotes in place of where others might have verses.

    Rose is fantastic!

    Rose is wonderful. She helped make our special day even more special. The ceremony that she performed was absolutely beautiful. I could not have pictured a more perfect day. I am so thankful that we had Rose to join us on our incredible day. 100/10 would absolutely recommend Rose to any and everyone. :) Thanks so much Rose!

    The perfect officiant!

    Rose was exactly what my husband and I needed for our wedding day. She was incredibly well-spoken, and all of my guests said the ceremony flowed beautifully and naturally thanks to Rose. She was extremely helpful leading up to the ceremony and truly wants the script to reflect the couple as much as possible, letting us customize and add in phrases where we felt was best. Her style and tone is the perfect mix of casual but still reverent and professional. I would highly recommend to other couples!!!

    Rose was wonderful and made the entire process from selecting a ceremony to running through the rehearsal so easy. She was friendly and answered any questions that we had in a time efficient manner. On the day of the wedding she was a calming presence and very professional.

    Rose is great!

    We were so pleased with hiring Rose as our officiant. As soon as we contacted her, she gave us a call so we could learn more about her services and envision what our ceremony would look like. She was extremely responsive to our questions leading up to our big day, was prompt the day-of and kept things light and fun as we requested. Many of our guests complimented her and enjoyed our short and sweet ceremony. Would we hire her again? Absolutely, in a heartbeat!

    Rose was absolutely fantastic. She was great in every facet. From beginning to end we loved speaking with her. When we forgot our Argument Box the day of the wedding, she was able to wing it and go on from there. She did not skip a beat and I would love to have her again years from now. Her personal touch and overall persona about weddings and everything is great. I would totally recommend Rose to anybody who is getting married!

    Rose's high ratings are no fluke! Rose was the one thing that we didn't have to worry about for our wedding, not that the other vendors weren't great, but Rose just has everything together. She really did have an answer to any question that we had, she was always one step ahead of us!
    On a professional level, Rose is amazing. On a personal level, Rose is a person that you feel comfortable talking to about anything. She went through other ceremonies with us, asked us questions about each other, and spoke to us personally (also personally via e-mail) and put together the perfect ceremony.

    No joke, if you're looking for the perfect officiant for anything, Rose is the way to go.

    Rose was the officiant at my wedding and she was great! My husband and I had already gotten "officially" married at a local courthouse prior to our destination ceremony, so we wanted a touching but quick ceremony for our wine country wedding. She was great! The vows she had were so sweet and she was more than willing to change things and incorporate personal things we wanted to include. She did a wonderful job and was so easy to work with before the wedding!

    Rose was the officiant at our recent Napa wedding. From our first phone call I knew I wanted Rose to be a part of our day. She took her time to get to know us and helped make our ceremony unique to us. She offered great advice and listened to our questions and concerns. Even when a bee, and an airplane became uninvited guests, she kept her cool. Overall, our wedding was perfect and Rose was a part of that.

    We have recently used Rose Barboza as our officiant and couldn't have asked for a better person to marry us! She was wonderfully friendly and professional. She has a beautiful ceremony and was open to any and all changes if we wanted. She took all of the guesswork out of the paperwork in getting our marriage license and got it all finalized so we didn't have to worry about a thing. We really loved her reminder emails with detailed instructions for each step of the process. She really made everything simple and smooth, and the guests loved her ceremony as much as we did! Thank you Rose for helping to make our wedding day perfect!

    Rose was a wonderful officiant. From the moment I was referred to her services I knew she would make our ceremony special. She worked with my husband and myself to create a perfectly tailor-made ceremony for us. She was always ready and available for any questions I had, which made the whole process super easy! I'd definitely recommend her to any couple looking for a smooth and seamless ceremony!

    A job well done

    Rose officiated my wedding in August 2023. She did an amazing job! She made sure the ceremony flowed perfectly. She paid attention to what we wanted for our ceremony and spoke beautifully. She also handled all of the paperwork for our marriage license, so it was nice having one less thing to worry about on our big day. My husband and I definitely recommend her as an excellent officiant.
