He communicated clearly throughout the entire process, explained every step with ease, and made us feel completely confident that our ceremony was in the best hands. What truly set David apart was how heartfelt and personal our ceremony was.

It felt authentic, meaningful, and deeply reflective of who we are and the journey we share. Many of our guests commented afterward on how emotional and sincere the ceremony felt, and several asked if David was a longtime friend because of how personal it was. On the day of the wedding, David was calm, reassuring, and impeccably prepared. His delivery was warm and confident, striking the perfect balance between reverence, emotion, and joy.

I had delegated my now husband to find us an officiant and I gave him a few choices. After evaluating them together, we decided to have him contact Kristin and see what she would say. She mentioned that she usually liked to meet with the couple over zoom so we could get to know each other, have her know our story, and just get more comfortable with her. I loved how she has this huge document she shared with us about the different kinds of loves and prayers for people of all kind of religious backgrounds. I think the Zoom call was so important to get to know if we would like her and be comfortable with her since she would be our officiant. We immediately took to her and really liked her. She had a very calm and sweet demeanor about her and we got to know each other. I absolutely loved how she did yoga everyday and felt a connection with her. She organized everything for us, bringing us the papers to sign the day we got married, telling us what we needed to do, taking them when we were done and dropped it off for us. She was the absolute sweetest, communicated well, had recommendations for us and was a great resource since I had not done much research on what options we could do for our ceremony. Without her we wouldn't have known about Unity In Glass and decided to combine glass to represent our union. As a result we have something super memorable and beautiful from that day. I also never had to worry about this specific aspect of the day because she had it all handled. I highly recommend her and would suggest people to use Kristin's services with confidence!

We were to use Eric as our ceremony officiant, reception MC, and his crew handled all sound, DJing, and photobooth, they did it all! He was also available through e-mail and text answering all questions we had. He was unable to make the wedding rehearsal and told us ahead of time, and even wrote out the script so we could get someone to read his parts, working out perfectly! On the following day of the ceremony, everything went amazingly smooth. His sound set up was great and everyone could hear clearly. He even memorized all of his stuff as little did we know the sun was blindingly reflective on his ipad. His crew was amazing. All the music and sound was clear and played perfectly timed. The ceremony music went flawlessly, the grand entrance was exciting, and our big show of a first dance was cued up with the music perfectly. Our photo booth was manned, and the attendant working it was fun, enthusiastic and getting the people hyped and dancing! They even customized the settings of the printed photos given to guests with a cool star wars motif and our names! One of my favorite moments, was him working with our photographer during the reception, to get all the people gathered to take a massive group picture on the dance floor and then cue the music while everyone was already there to get people dancing! Coming up with a music list is kind of hard when you are busy planning a wedding, but luckily I was able to just give a list of 20 to 30 motown/funk/disco songs that my wife and I enjoyed, and the DJ was able to come up and fill in the rest of the playlist with a ton of fun music that fit the theme and kept the night fun! If I had to plan another major event, and I wanted to minimize things I would have to worry about, I would book MUZZii events in less than a heartbeat!

I really liked that he offers many services and can act as a one stop shop without having to hire multiple vendors. Ultimately, we hired Eric and his team as our DJ and photo booth. Eric was a great MC and he was able to get my Korean family onto the dance floor and have a great time! Anyone who has ever been to a Korean wedding knows that is an incredible feat. I've never seen my parents dance together before and it was so much fun dancing with my older aunts and uncles! Don't get me wrong, the young people had a blast too! We were so happy with the ease of the whole process and great service. Eric and his team were big contributors to making our wedding day so special and stress free.

All of our guess raved about how special and well-officiated our ceremony was - like nothing they…read morehad seen before! We do not come from a religious tradition, but it was important to us to have a ceremony that still "ceremonial" and full of meaning; Bethel helped us do exactly that. Her approach and process to getting to know her couples not only helped us comfortable with her as our officiant, but also allowed her to conduct the ceremony in a way that felt like she had known us throughout our relationship, and show our love to each other to guests who may have only known us individually but not as a couple just yet. Bethel is highly organized and professional, and brings a warmth to every interaction that was just great to work with. Bethel put us at ease throughout the process, guided us clearly, and helped us walk into the day feeling confident, and offered guidance and assistance with pre-and post-wedding admin, like the wedding certificate and referral for name change services. We had so many guests tell us afterward that it was one of the best ceremonies they had ever attended. We cannot recommend her enough!

When my now-wife and I decided to get married on a trip we were already taking to San Diego, I was…read moreoverwhelmed with how much needed to get done prior to, during, and after our trip. I searched endlessly on Google for wedding officiants and elopement packages and the prices were exorbitant for what they actually offered. I chose to go with Wendy because she was exactly what we needed. We are lesbians from Texas who wanted to visit San Diego and enjoy our wedding trip, instead of getting bogged down by the minutiae. From the get-go, Wendy informed us of everything we needed to do very clearly-- fill out the application, provide payment, and choose our location. During every step of the process, I felt assured that Wendy had it under control and she checked in with us often. We mostly communicated through email, which was always courteous and effective. It became very clear during our first phone call just how much work Wendy was doing in the background: communicating with another notary about our license application, preparing all the forms in advance, mailing out our application, keeping us informed. She even reminded us about rings, our vows, our outfits, etc. She does what she does to ensure our day is as stress-free as possible. All we had to do was be in love and say "I do." Wendy even accommodated us at the last minute by changing our location and coming to our hotel. If you are gay, Wendy is the one to marry you. She is extremely professional, compassionate, brave, and if it matters to have someone who understands and is part of the community like it was to us, do not hesitate. My wife and I wrote our own vows and when we read them, we knew Wendy was wishing us the best in our marriage and that is so so important. To be seen and recognized and guided into this next part of our lives together by one of our own felt like we were a part of something larger and Wendy connected us to that community that we have yet to find in Texas. It was such a wonderful experience that I hope we keep in touch with Wendy because she made our day so special with her charisma, her stories, and her wisdom. After our ceremony, she took pictures, had us sign our papers, and left to go mail the application for us so we didn't have to do anything but enjoy being married. She kept us posted when she mailed the application, when her check was cashed for the certificates, and when I showed her our marriage certificates which came folded (not Wendy's fault), she reached out to a local TV station to get to the bottom of why the SD County Recorder was folding official documents. Me, I'm just happy to be married, but it feels good to know Wendy is fighting for us to have a non-folded marriage certificate. All in all, you cannot beat the service that Wendy provides. She communicates clearly, provides outstanding service, and truly cares about your wedding day. For us, Wendy is not just the woman who married us, but the soul who witnessed our love and we'll forever be grateful for her.
