    Everything was perfect

    We are a couple from France and we called on Brian's services to organize a small wedding on Carmel Beach. In just under 3 months he helped us from A to Z. From choosing the venue, to the permit and many other details that we didn't even think about. He and his wife did a perfect job. It was exactly what we had dreamed of, even better! I can never thank him enough for making our dream come true in such a short time. Do not hesitate to contact him!!

    Incredible Service

    Brian and Heidi are incredible! From
    The moment we began communicating with Brian, he was so kind and helpful. He organized everything and made our day so easy and stress free. He is very knowledgeable and gave us so many tips to help with the small details of our ceremony. Heidi has great energy and so many good ideas for pictures. She was also so patient and flexible. Highly, highly recommend their services!!!

    Great Service + Great Price = BEST VALUE

    We could not have had a better experience for our Wedding Day!! Brian & Heidi were absolutely a pleasure to work with!! Brian handled most of the behind the scenes work like the communication, beach permit, wedding license and basically held our hand throughout the entire process leading up to the big day! And then Heidi and her amazing eye for pictures made our special day just magical with some of the photos she captured. Their professional demeanor, their knowledge of the area, the multitude of options they presented us with and their willingness to cater to our needs is why they are such a great value!! We were both thoroughly impressed with how well everything was executed! With conviction we give them a rating of 10 out of 10 and highly recommend Weddings in Monterey and Brian & Heidi's services!!

    The best officiant

    We hired Brian to be our officiant and he was the absolute best to work with! He walked us through every stage of the planning from creating our vows to getting our license turned in. We did not want personal vows but wanted the experience to be special and he created just that. Our friends and family came up to us after the ceremony to tell us how much they enjoyed it and that they loved his energy. He made the whole process effortless and easy. Definitely a must for your wedding!

    May Elopement in Carmel, CA

    Brian and Heidi were very easy to work with for our May, 2021 beach elopement in Carmel-by-the-Sea. Brian answered all of our questions, helped us find the perfect spot for our elopement and wrote and performed a beautiful ceremony. Heidi was incredibly fun to work with and helped us relax in front of the camera. Our pictures are more beautiful than I could have hoped for and I couldn't be happier with them. Brian and Heidi helped make our wedding perfect and stress free and I would highly recommend them to anyone.

    Very cordial and professional, amazing pictures

    Heidi did the photoshoot for us and within 24 hours we got amazing pictures. The photo edits were great. She suggested some nice, cute poses and the lighting effects made them look like a movie scene from a romantic movie!
    Brian did the ceremony for us and we loved it as well.
    They are both nice and flexible enough to adjust with us getting late to the ceremony. There were a few helpful tips that Brian shared with us (like tying my hair up because of the wind) that really saved the day :)

    Wedding in Carmel

    We had an amazing small wedding in Carmel. Brian was very helpful and flexible. We had to postpone the wedding once due to the fires. The ceremony was quick but very romantic and the views from the beach were spectacular. The pictures were gorgeous. All of my family and friends loved it.

    Perfect Day

    Brian and his wife, Heidi, delivered the perfect wedding day for us in every way! We were traveling from Southern California for our elopement and during the entire process Brian was quick to respond to my questions, and even went above and beyond in checking on our location because of the fire in Big Sur. Our ceremony was absolutely perfect. Brian and Heidi were friendly and made us feel at ease on our special day. Their prices are incredibly reasonable for the exceptional services they deliver. Do not hesitate to book them for your special day! You will not be disappointed!!

    Perfect in every way!

    My husband and I were so blessed to have Brian and Heidi for our special day! The ceremony was perfect. Brian wrote a beautiful ceremony and it was decorated exactly like I imagined. Heidi was incredible. She managed to get my massive list of desired family photos done and from the sneak peak she sent us already the pictures are amazing! We had some mini issues with other vendors and they came to my rescue and everything worked out perfectly. I am beyond thrilled with their work and dedication to making a beautiful day for us and I will never forget it.

    Wonderful Intimate Destination Wedding

    Brian and Heidi were absolutely Fantastic! They are a husband and wife team in Monterey, CA. Brian officiated our ceremony and his wife Heidi was our photographer. Brian helped us every step of the way, from officiating to helping us choose the location, to the park permits. He was infinitely patient and kind with my million questions of how we were going to pull this off. And he was wonderful all the way through the ceremony calming my nerves and writing a beautiful ceremony for us taking our preferences into account. Heidi was so fun and got everyone involved in the photos and I can’t wait to see how they turn out! They are both Lovely people and it’s obvious they really enjoy what they do!
    Thank you Brian and Heidi for these special memories!!

    Beautiful and affordable beach wedding

    Brian and Heidi are absolutely the best. We had a beautiful wedding on the beach and it could not have been more perfect. Brian did an amazing job on the processionals and took the time to learn our love story and incorporate it. Heidi was so much fun to work with doing our photos. Everything was perfect. If you want an affordable and amazing beach wedding, I highly recommend them.

    Intimate wedding day

    Our dream was an intimate wedding on the beach, and Brian and Heidi made our dream come true! They know the area, they helped us plan, and they are the nicest people, they made our wedding day special, not only what they did for us, also their personalities. We had just met them and they already felt like good friends. And Heidi is a true professional with her photography!

    Exceptional. Made our day extra special

    Brian and Heidi did an exceptional job at our wedding. We made all of our arrangements by emails due to us living in Montana. Brian was very professional and extremely helpful with our wedding. Hiedi was so much fun during our photos and was very accommodating during the whole process. We are looking forward to seeing the great shoots she took. I highly recommend them and know you will be impressed. Thank you so much for making our day extra special.

    Brian and Heidi are great. Highly recommend!

    I have nothing but positive things to say about Brian and Heidi from Weddings in Monterey.

    My husband and I are from the SF Bay Area, and wanted to do a small intimate wedding in the Monterey area and we didn't want a lot of fuss. Brian's help through the planning process was great. And as an officiant, he was extremely warm and felt like part of the family. Heidi was our photographer and we took a lot of pictures in our time together. She was also very good working with us and our family. I haven't received the photos yet but look forward to getting them in a few weeks!

    There are so many words I can use to describe Brian Borgia's services. To begin with, my husband and I are currently in the military and we live in 2 different states not even close to California but we really wanted a beautiful beach wedding and that is exactly what we got! We are so thankful to have chosen Brian as our ceremony coordinator. Because of our different work schedules and different time zones, we mostly communicated via email and Brian always responded to any questions we had very quickly. I wasn't the type of bride that was very picky with the set-up. I gave Brian pictures of what I pictured our ceremony to look like and him and his wife made it happen! We received many compliments from both sides of our family of how beautiful our ceremony was. I couldn't picture a better Ceremony for my husband and I... (except me redoing my vows because I forgot them when the time came, but that's a different story) :p

    The Weddings in Monterey team was wonderful! Brian answered all of our questions quickly and wasn't bothered by the hundreds of emails I sent him. His wife Heidi took absolutely beautiful pictures. Our ceremony was custom written by Brian and sent to us for approval before the big day and it had just the right amount of humor. My husband and I are very pleased with them and will definitely recommend this team to our friends and family. Thank you for making our day one that we will never forget!

    Absolutely the best!

    Brian made our wedding day ceremony perfect. He made the planning for the ceremony absolutely stressless. His words captured everything and conveyed everything about our love story and future.
    The ideas that he brought to the table to help us along were creative and thoughtful.
    He was calm and professional at all times, which in turn helped us be calm and realize
    that everything he was involved in was going to run smoothly.
    Bottom line, I feel Brian is the best at what he does and am proud to have
    had him officiate our wedding. If I could rate him 10 stars it would be 20 out of 10. He is that good.

    Dream Team with Weddings in Monterey

    We couldn't have asked for a better team than Brian and Heidi for our ceremony at Stewart's Cove in Carmel. My husband and I highly recommend Weddings in Monterey for all your wedding planning and photography needs! Brian and Heidi were incredibly attentive and organized throughout the entire process, and made us feel at ease knowing that they had accounted for even the tiniest of details. We decided to have my father-in-law officiate, and Brian was incredibly kind and helpful, and made to answer any question he had along the way. Heidi was amazing to work with as well, incredibly organized, and made sure to get all the shots and groupings we requested.

    Thank you, Brian, Heidi, and team!! We honestly could not have dreamed up a more perfect day!!

    Wonderful Team!

    Heidi and Brian @ Weddings in Monterey were the perfect choice for helping us planned execute our special day. We came in from out of state and they helped us navigate everything we needed to do so that everything went smoothly. They even went the extra mile when we needed help with our rental car after the ceremony! We couldn't have made a better choice and they will always be remembered now as a special part of our day!

    Simple, Professional, and Perfect

    My fiance (now husband ;)) decided at the last minute to elope on our first date anniversary. We tried to plan a wedding two different times, but just couldn't please everyone and then pull the trigger on how much money a wedding costs to put on for only a few hours. With less than 2 weeks notice, Brian was able help me set up an elopement. We had some stressful travel situations the day of our elopement and Brian just rolled with the punches and made our wedding happen seamlessly anyway. A huge thank you to Brian and our photographer, Jacob Perl, for making this day everything we wanted it to be and including our two girls and the memory of our passed on son in our day. I highly recommend Weddings in Monterey.
