If you are on the fence about whether to have a friend or family member officiate your ceremony vs hiring a professional, we would highly recommend the latter, specifically Rachael with Officially Hitched! With minimal meetings and time commitments, Racheal's process made the ceremony truly ours. Her process for intentionally asking the important questions (both in a couple of well-organized meetings and a thoughtful questionnaire) gleaned the nature of our personalities and meaningful and hilarious stories that truly drew in the guests. As many of our guests were friends of our parents or old friends we have not seen in years, Rachael's heart-warming ceremony played a key role in making each guest feel more connected to our love story as we headed into the reception and led to more meaningful conversations as we visited with guests throughout the evening. Officially Hitched uses a business model with streamlined processes, making planning the ceremony one of the most hassle-free parts of our planning process. Rachael has nailed her craft down to both an art and a science - we cannot recommend her business and heart-felt approach enough!

My wedding was so long ago, but I still remember everything about that day. Planning the wedding on our own we had time to make meaningful decisions and one of those being the most important- Who's going to marry you? When we first took a meeting with Rachael we knew it was her, she was the last officiant we met with and we instantly knew that the company she had founded and created herself was the one that would marry us. We were SO lucky to have her walk us through the process and give us pointers for an entire ceremony we had no idea where to even start from. We were lucky enough to get married in San Francisco City Hall which is beautiful in itself, but Officially Hitched has a built in package for City Hall weddings. It's a package that includes just the amount of customization, without a complete panic of trying to create a ceremony from scratch. Rachael makes it so easy to talk with her and really see how the ceremony will play out, I completely trusted her opinions and guidance. Rachael, THANK YOU for an incredible experience, and an even better ceremony. You would not believe how many of my guests came up to me and complimented the ceremony and just YOU in general. My apologies for how long this has taken me to get around to writing, but I truly want to thank you for everything you did, and for not leaving one dry eye untouched with your words, and presentation of Marcus and I's special day. I will be forever grateful for all of your support throughout this process. Thank you again. Cassie

We met and hired Renesha through Officially Hitched and she was AWESOME to work with. I would highly recommend her to anyone in need of an officiant for their wedding. She made our moment so special and we're thankful to have met her and for her services to us. We've definitely gained a friend/new family member and we plan to remain in touch!

We absolutely LOVED working with Rachael for our September 2022 wedding at the Palm Event Center.  The ceremony was one of our (and our guest's) favorite parts of the wedding. Rachael took the time to really get to know us as a couple beforehand and helped to craft a unique, custom, & wonderful ceremony. She was able to incorporate the personal elements that were so important to us in a seamless way. She was also incredibly helpful when it came time to trim down / finalize our vows. Many of our guests thought we knew Rachel personally - that says a lot about how well she customized and executed our ceremony. She is incredibly well-spoken - we feel so lucky to have found her for our special day.

We had the pleasure of having Matty officiate our 75-person City Hall wedding and couldn't be happier with the outcome! The process was fun and really helped take some stress off of us leading up to the day. We enjoyed completing our individual "love story" homework then coming together with each other and Matty to incorporate them into a script we chose with the Ready Made package. Matty did an awesome job expressing our story in the script and delivering it beautifully on our wedding day. Highly recommend Officially Hitched for a seamless experience.

Rachael was AWESOME!!!! She is very sweet! Very resourceful, gave me and my hubby advice & made our reception sweet, simple, and to the point! She is very easy to talk to and made us feel like we have known her forever! Thanks Rachael!!!

See all

Long overdue review. So sorry I did not post sooner. Andrew did our wedding awhile ago, but I never…read morecame around to reviewing on yelp. Andrew was great he was able to officiate our wedding with short notice (about 2 weeks) as our original officiant was not able to follow through. He's very professional and organized. He had everything laid out, and was very helpful for what we needed to do after the ceremony. Thank you so much for saving our wedding.

We found Andrew on Yelp due to the great reviews. After we had talked with him, we knew he would…read morebe a great officiant to our wedding. Andrew was very professional and presented a template of vows that we can work with. Being that we are both very busy and expecting a child soon, working on the details of ceremony and vows was a lower priority so it was great Andrew had something we can work with!! Andrew followed up closely with us up until the day of ceremony so we knew what to expect. No surprises for sure! On the day of ceremony, Andrew arrived at the meeting point (Palace of fine art) more than 1/2 hour early as not not be late. Of course, we ended up running behind schedule by 15 mins... but this goes to show you the professionalism of Andrew. After the ceremony, Andrew closely followed up with us about submitting paperwork to the city, and also about obtaining a valid copy of our marriage license. Overall Andrew was great from beginning to the end. He has made a stressful event not stressful. His professionalism is well appreciated and his performance in speech was great. We highly recommend Andrew for your next officiant needs!

Not only is…read moreshe the most economical (important to many) of the 15 marriage officiants whom I called, but she is so professional and efficient and a problem solver. I had a simple wedding that I wanted to take place within a week. Got in touch with Dyanna, and she happened to be free. Originally her low fee got my attention, then it just became a joy to work with her and we got everything done in less than an hour on the day of the wedding at City Hall. We went straight to the Assessor's and Recorder's Office to hand in the completed application. BUT...a couple of weeks later when I went back to SF City Hall to get the marriage certificate, they said that we made a mistake and handed in an application that had a slight tear on the lower right and that the State office will reject the paperwork. They wanted Dyanna to show up again and do more paperwork and pay a fee. Thanks to Dyanna's quick actions, good working relationship with the City offices, and strong knowledge of the marriage license process, she was able to argue and negotiate a net benefit for us. It is so important to have a professional officiate your wedding, and I highly recommend Dyanna for a stress-free ceremony!

She made the entire process so easy, even helped us with our vows and submitted the marriage paperwork on our behalf. We were so thankful because there was so much to coordinate with the rest of the wedding, having Dyanna as our officiant made that part one thing we did not have to worry about! We highly recommend Dyanna as an officiant and would give her 10 stars if we could! Thank you, Dyanna!

In our search for the vendors we found My City Hall Wedding which happened to be perfect for us. They provided a full package that included highly rated professionals - from hair/makeup stylist to photo/video. Instead of communicating with 5 different vendors we worked with 1 single point of contact - Tej from My City Hall Wedding. She guided us through everything we would need on our wedding day - hair, makeup, flowers, limo, photo and video. All in one single package. Tej helped me chose a hair and makeup style as well as flowers. And we completed trusted MCHW with their choice of photographer and videographer - look at their website - the images speak for themselves. On the day of the wedding everything went smoothly without a single worry. Our stylist was on time and was great. The florist delivered the flowers to our hotel room. The car was waiting for us, the photographer and videographer met us at the entrance of the City Hall and guided us through the whole process. Can't thank Josef (our photographer) for incredible photos. Alex - the videographer - captured very intimate and personal moments. Can't thank My City Hall Wedding and everyone involved enough. I have heard lots of stressful wedding stories and have been to a few of these myself. That was not our experience.

She had all the great qualities one could hope for in a wedding officiant - organized, creative ideas and suggestions, punctual - but the elements that stood out the most were her compassion and passion for joining 2 souls together in ritual. Cynthia even helped counsel us about our last-minute anxieties and stress (aka, "threshold demons")! When we were pressed to find a photographer at the last minute, she again was there for us and looped in a fantastic photographer named Willie who saved us from a lot of undue stress on our big day. We wanted a "nontraditional" ceremony and Cynthia happily obliged. She knew all the intricacies of a handfasting, and even educated our guests every step of the way. She guided us through the entire process and led us, with love, through the gates of marriage. Cynthia's love for her work shines through and was authentically felt during the actual ceremony! Cynthia is a consummate professional with a kind, loving and creative spirit! We are so grateful to have had her guiding hand and heart to help us cross the marriage threshold! Please, take our word for it, contact Cynthia for your ceremony. Your hearts will be happy you did!

Longer answer: My wife and I were married by Mark in October, 2011, at a small ceremony at City Hall. We are from out of town, and so, had a lot of anxiety about doing the event so far away. My wife, ever the researcher, came up with Mark's name somewhere, and we asked for his help. We had a couple of phone calls with him and in the calls, Mark did a great job of detailing the event, his needs and listening to our preferences and expectations. We had a number of e-mail exchanges, and his forms and format are all very easy to follow, and yet, provided an incredible about of personalization to the event that made it very special for us. Mark's personality definitely shown through at the event. He was upbeat, cheerful and helped set the tone for the entire day. He was on time, very well dressed, and obviously has a knack for this thing. Again, all of our guests commented that he was one of the best wedding officiants they had ever seen. His style was very inclusive, and he made it a point to make everyone there feel a part of our special day in a way I have never seen done before. I cannot say enough about how thoughtful, professional and enthusiastic Mark was. I highly recommend him to anyone planning a wedding in San Francisco. Thanks again Mark! Bill in St. Louis

We had a simple ceremony and only four guests, but Mark still treated it as though it were the royal wedding.
