We chose the perfect officiant for our wedding Fredrick V. James aka RICK JAMES :)…read more He was the perfect fit for us. We knew from the beginning he was reliable, professional, and a positive energy. Before the wedding we spoke and he made sure to get to know us so that our ceremony was tailored to us. He welcomed our guests, told a lil bit of our story, and included the lasso ceremony. He's a well seasoned officiant and can make any ceremony beautiful and fun. Our guests were raving about how much they loved the ceremony saying it was different from the usual boring ones. Highly recommend Frederick for a beautiful ceremony that includes some humor and personalized touches. TLDR: professional, fun, and caring 10/10 would recommend

Yenmin was absolutely AMAZING! I did not expect to cry at all and the tears were FLOWINGGGGGG. She gave an option to do the ceremony in Spanish for my family and we did not expect that. Very professional and accommodating staff! The second Yenmin began to give the ceremony, I felt as if me and my husband were alone in the room getting ready to step into the next phase of our life. This experience was everything I could have imagined. Thank you so much!!!!

This review is for our wedding which took place on January 6, 2018 at Malibu West Beach Club…read more After interviewing a potential officiant who showed up late for our FaceTime talk, talking to Officiant Eric was such a refresher as we planned our wedding. He was always on time and his gentle, collaborative nature always put my wife and I at ease when we talked! His energy is contagious! Even on the day of, when he walked up to our venue's doors, he seriously calmed my nerves! He even gave my wife and I some tips while we were... y'know, up there getting married! What I loved about Officiant Eric was the ability to customize our ceremony! It was perfect for us as we didn't really want to have a religious ceremony and we wanted to customize it to our liking. Officiant Eric was encouraging, super helpful, and was open to being available for a FaceTime chat. Officiant Eric was amazing (and *efficient* might I add hehe), and his personality always brought comfort to this bride and groom!! Thank you so much!

Eric was super helpful and answered all our questions in a timely manner. He presented the ceremony in a wonderful manner and we would recommend him to anyone who is getting married in the future.

There's a ton more, but we're trying to be "succinct" here. =) I half joke that Elizabeth was not only our officiant but also my therapist in the time leading up to our wedding since I was a ball of anxiety planning everything. Elizabeth was EVER so patient and responsive with my flurry of nonstop emails and questions, as well as providing constant reassurance which I know was far beyond her job description. Elizabeth really goes above and beyond, not only providing a huge variety of personalized scripts for your wedding (if you so choose), professionalism of making the legal process very easy, but she also takes the time out of her personal life to get to know you as an individual and as a couple, so that if you choose, you do not feel like you are getting married by a stranger, but rather an old family friend. Thank you so much for being THE best officiant, friend, and guidance for us in one of the more stressful times! P.S. This raving review comes from a couple that self-describes themselves to be pretty high maintenance and picky! =)

Other than marrying Mr. Q, Elizabeth Oakes may just be the favorite part of my wedding. She was the…read moreabsolute perfect officiant for us. Backing it up a bit, I used to work in the wedding industry and had seen my fair share of wedding officiants, but Elizabeth always stood out as not only being a great, charismatic speaker - but she's so genuine. Surprisingly when my day came though, we looked elsewhere for officiants first. I know, I know - stupid, right? Well, we were getting married in Palm Springs and thought we should try to hire someone local - and yeesh, there were some horror stories there. (Almost literally with one lady who I swear could have doubled for either Fire Marshall Bill or The Cryptkeeper - but smothered in perfume.) Then we thought about the possibility of having someone we know do it, but that thought passed quickly. Having seen a bajillion weddings, it doesn't always go according to plan having a pal do it. So, I thought, even though the wedding is in Palm Springs, I'm gonna email Elizabeth. I'm soooo glad I did. We didn't have many requirements for our ceremony, and while we didn't want it to be 45 minutes long, we also didn't want it to be 5 minutes long. (I think we ended up at a good 15 or so.) We told her we didn't want any talk of God, but also nothing too hippie dippy either. She always responded immediately to emails and gave us lots of ideas for not only readings, but special touches and the order of the whole thing. She even suggested this thing where the rings were passed through the bridal party to be sorta "blessed" with well wishes - we did it and, while it may sound cheesy writing it here - it definitely brought a tear to my eye. Oh! I didn't even mention all the other stuff - like how she filed all the paperwork for us, and how she had our vows and readings all printed up on very nice paper (vellum overlay even!), and even gave us a nice CD as a wedding gift. I was thoroughly impressed. We just loved how Elizabeth "got" us, and was super helpful in making our ceremony so special to us.

It was like she knew us and our story for the beginning it was personalized that both us were brought to tears!
