After not finding a local option that met our needs, we were worried we wouldn't find the right person to lead our ceremony. We thankfully expanded our search into Los Angeles, where we came across Rev I Do's page. From the start, she was warm and friendly, making us feel extremely comfortable. She took her time to get to know us individually and as a couple, through phone calls and questionnaires, to ultimately craft a celebration that was tailored to our story. Our friends and family were blown away, many saying it was the best officiating they had ever witnessed at a wedding. This was especially meaningful to us as a queer couple! We felt truly seen and heard by Rev I Do, and would recommend her services to anyone who wants a truly special, intentional ceremony to kick off their wedding.

She has such a caring personality and truly connects with you not just as an officiant, but with a friendship bond as well. Her way with words through her writing is absolutely amazing and told our story in a way we never could. Through every meeting with her, she made every process stress-free and gave us every reassurance to make sure everything was perfect. From traveling over an hour away for us, last minute meetings, to personally handling our marriage license after the Ceremony. We couldn't have chosen a better officiant for our special day, so much love for Cristina!!

It was the first and only venue we toured, and we never looked back. The venue is absolutely gorgeous, the staff are incredible, and the entire experience from start to finish was seamless. We are STILL getting compliments on the food, especially the carving station! The recommended vendors were also amazing(huge shoutout to Little Blue Hummingbird!). We truly couldn't have asked for a better experience or a more beautiful place to get married. So grateful we chose this venue!

Just south of their building they have a parking lot which is pretty smart and decent for a lot of cars to be locked in. If you end up, leaving your car and you pick it up the next day. They open the gates at 9am. The church used to be a Presbyterian, and has been around for 100 years. It is clearly well taken care of and very beautiful. We first met with Amanda, who assisted us with pulling the trigger with setting a date. Their packages are very affordable and include everything. From the design of your table arrangements, to the choice of your flowers, to what you want your guest to eat and drink. You even get a DJ included in the package. Oh! I can't forget about the cake from Torrance Bakery! Our next meeting was with Madi, who moved us along with the specifics and locked things down further into place. Fumi was the one who got us across the finish line on the day. She was there for us during the rehearsal and got our wedding party in line for everything to be perfect. Both the Atlantic room, and the bridal suite were really nice. After we tied the knot, we went and had a couple of drinks brought by Fumi, and cocktail snacks from our dinner captains Samantha and Kelli. It was a slightly warm day, but the AC units were working really good when it came down to taking photos with our family and friends. We moved on into the hall where it was beautifully decorated, and also well air-conditioned. We had a set up for 90 people, and dinner service went perfectly. Table by table people went and got food. Our dinner captains brought ours. Slices of beef, garlic, mashed potatoes, mixed vegetables, crispy chicken pieces, cheese, tortellini, and a roll. It was all delicious. I wish I had had more but my wife and I were the show. lol. Drinks are always brought to us and special thanks to Chelsea for taking care of our family and friends at the bar outside. They have four bar tables and a patio set to sit in for six. We decided to have the dancing up on the stage where Gio played some great music for us. The party can go on as late as 11 at this place, so don't expect to go into the morning hours of the next day. Also want to give thanks to the chefs Ben, Fancie and David for all the good food they brought out for everyone and the Wedgewood team for the amazing setup they put together from start to finish.

The wedding was only 3 weeks away when I called her (at my venue's recommendation) and thankfully she was available. It was meant to be! Every interaction was professional and personable. She was the perfect fit for us because she could perform a non-denominational ceremony as well as take care of all legal forms. The process was so easy. We met up, she listened to our input, we exchanged a couple of emails, and she created a beautiful, personal ceremony that totally reflected who we are as a couple. It was sincere, heartfelt, personal, solemn, with light moments- not one bit sappy, corny, or generic. She NAILED it!! People went on and on about how special our ceremony was. I will recommend her to anyone getting married. She also does "rainbow" marriages and religious ceremonies. Cool lady, and a real bargain. This is a major decision in your wedding planning- book her and you can rest easy that it will be awesome. PS- the marriage certificate was gorgeous! Definitely frameable

This might be a long one, so bear with me. It goes to show just how much my wife and I appreciated…read moreeverything that Low did for us! So a couple weeks before we were to be married, our pastor we intended on having, fell through. We were a mess at this point, with no idea what to do. We contacted Low, and his responses were extremely fast and helpful. The Sunday before our date, we met with him in Huntington. We'd never used anyone like this, so we were very stressed, not sure how personable and catered to US this would be. Within minutes of sitting down with Low, we started to feel at ease. Like another reviewer said, he recorded our 30-45 minute conversation, so he could be in the moment there with us, talk to us, and get to know us, using our conversation as the basis for personalizing our ceremony that was in a mere 6 days! When we left, we felt good, but still a little apprehensive. Would it be funny? Serious? A hybrid? Low had told us a few things about how he works and his background, but we decided to give it a shot. With 6 days left, we really had no choice. Wedding day came, and it was to be a beach wedding at Arch Cove in Laguna. (Pro-Tip for Laguna Beach weddings...check the tide tables, AND check the beach itself REALLY early on the day of the wedding, if not the day before, and have backup locations ready! At our first location, Arch Cove, the beach steps went all the way to the sand when we first picked the spot. By wedding day a few months later, the surf had washed away a massive portion of the sand and there was now a 2-foot or more drop off from the steps to the beach. Not workable for our older family members.) So here I was, an hour before our wedding, and absolutely FREAKING out. My fiance was getting ready in our room, I was supposed to be at the location, and there was no way family would be able to navigate those stairs and massive step down to the sand. Low took me aside and said...."It'll be ok. Let's check out other beaches. I've done plenty of these around here, and I know other spots." He calmed me, reassured me, and while I was still freaking out, we got in his car and drove. This is where having a secondary backup site for a beach wedding comes in handy. I told him our backup was Shaw's Cove. We were there within minutes, and the place, while a little crowded, was do-able. The massive texts and call frenzy began, and thank God we just had immediate family for the ceremony itself. Only had to re-coordinate with 20 people. Low could see I was on the verge of a panic attack. He again took me aside, talked to me (can't remember exactly what he said), but he reassured me everything was going to be just fine. He told me what to do, and said he'd take care of the rest. At this point, I wasn't even dressed. Again, glad we had a low-key, casual wedding planned, because I just had a linen shirt and beige slacks to put on. But now where to change? Many Laguna Beaches have no restroom facilities. Low gave me his keys, and said I could change in his car. So that's what I did right there on a side-street in Laguna Beach in the back of Low's car. Family got there, fiance got there, and the wedding was.....PERFECT! His message and words seemed to be from someone that knew us for years! Humor, faith, integration of how important our kids and families are to us....all of it it was just absolutely STELLAR! By now I've rambled on too much. For anyone out there that's looking for a wedding officiant, just know that Low went amazingly above and beyond anything my wife and I could have ever hoped for! What looked like was going to be a disaster, turned into one of the most amazing days of my life! Thank you soooooooo much, Low! We're SO glad we decided to have you be a part of our special day!

We were honored to have him marry us, and we appreciated that he even mailed in our marriage license afterward. It also meant a lot to have a Filipino officiant, since I'm Filipino, and we wanted to represent that part of my culture. He did that with grace and it was incredibly meaningful to us.
