My wife and I were looking for an officiant for our SF City Hall wedding in July. After scouring…read moreYelp and Google and coming across countless options that were not a fit, we had almost given up hope. Luckily, we discovered Ryan's page about a month and a half out from our wedding! Ryan's officiating services are unbeatable. From the moment we met him, we were relieved that we had someone young, well spoken and very professional. We were asked a series of questions to get to know us, but our conversation flowed so naturally that the questions just answered themselves through our normal discourse. We had many laughs, tears of emotion, collaborative moments, emotional moments, therapeutic moments, you name it! Our meetings felt comforting and genuine and I 100% guarantee that we could not have had that experience with another person. Ryan met with us very often prior to our wedding to make sure that the final script was right. He played well into our fun and joyful moments as well as our romantic side. Great and friendly sense of humor and a neutral perspective. My wife's side is Buddhist, my side is Catholic but his speech respected both sides without issue. He got to know us very well and it reflected in his speech. Our wedding was really small and intimate with only our immediate family present, but somehow it felt as if Ryan were one of us. We wouldn't have wanted it any other way. Highly recommend Ryan!! Thanks.

We met several times in the months leading up, and he took meticulous notes and was always thinking of ways to turn our love into an engaging story and theme for our ceremony. He brought both levity and gravitas, filling our wedding with laughter and warmth the whole way. I highly recommend Ryan to anyone looking for an officiant; he went above and beyond everything we hoped for and truly cared about making our day the best it could be.

We got sooo many compliments on our ceremony, and it is all thanks to Lauren! From our first…read moremeeting with them, we knew we trusted them with creating our perfect ceremony. They spent a lot of time getting to know us and our story. We had no idea where to start when it came to planning a ceremony. They have a ton of experience and ideas and helped us decide on what parts of the ceremony were important for us. They also checked on us throughout the process and helped calm our nerves when we needed it. On the day of our wedding Lauren was amazing! They knew how to captivate a crowd. They are charismatic, engaging, and they created exactly the mood that i wanted which was sentimental and emotional. By the end, everyone was crying. Lauren was a dream to work with, and I am so happy she was part of our special day. Highly recommend them as your wedding officiant!!

A year on hormones and coming out in the world felt very much like a second puberty. I searched all over for ideas and templates for my ceremony but didn't find much until I found Lauren's website as a Love Celebrant. I reached out and we immediately connected. Her passion was equal to mine to celebrate trans joy. Lauren is extremely caring and warm. She had me delve deep into what I wanted and how I wanted to shape this celebration. She guided me and was so supportive, collaborative and affirming. The ceremony and celebration were magical and filled with love. The friends and family who were there all were so impressed with how it flowed and the communal spirit we felt. I'm so glad I found Lauren and chose her to be my trans joy sherpa.

A wedding officiant is something you don't actively seek out until you need one. And when it came…read moretime to plan our wedding, I had no idea where to start. We found Rev. Tan at the recommendation of our wedding coordinator, With Grace and Love, and I'm so grateful for the connection! Rev.Tan service's were pretty straightforward and given our wedding plans changing significantly due to COVID we still needed someone to officiate for our party of 11. The idea of crafting a wedding ceremony seems a bit daunting but they share a great program that helps the couple craft the perfect ceremony unique to them. I found the program to be easy to use and so helpful in mapping out the narrative. I felt super confident going into our ceremony having reviewed the script beforehand. There were no surprises. Rev. Tan was readily available in the lead up to the day with some tips on the order of the readings and even gave us some pointers on crafting our personal vows. I especially appreciate him respecting our request to wear a face mask during our event. It's little details that really resonated with me given the times. He took care of our marriage license, sent us an image of the signed doc, and mailed it off to the county. Overall, I was so pleased with the ease of his service. I do hope to take him up on his offer for coffee one day when the world settles down a bit. Forever grateful he officiated our micro wedding!

Choosing Anthony to officiate our wedding was the best choice we could have made. He was perfectly encouraging and supportive while we put together our non-traditional wedding ceremony; offering help or giving a suggestion when asked but not trying to shape our ceremony into anything other than a perfect reflection of our relationship and commitment to each other. He seems comfortable in every situation, so when attending our three-day wedding festivities he fit in well and was able to make genuine connections with our family and friends. That sincerity was something we were very impressed with and grateful for. He's a wonderful orator with a blend of warmth and humor that was right on pitch for our ceremony. He handled a minor issue during the ceremony (caused by vague directions from the photographer/venue) like a pro and carried on with the ceremony without skipping a beat. We opted for the wedding party selfie and it's one of my favorite pictures from the wedding! Anthony really helped make our wedding day the treasured memory it is. And it doesn't hurt that he's a handsome addition to the wedding pictures! ;)

As we worked with Erin through the planning process she was very accommodating of our requests, and made sure that everything was taken care of leading up to the big day. The weather on our wedding day threw us a curveball, and it poured rain throughout the ceremony. This made conditions hard to hear, with loud rain on the tents, and no microphones available to use. Erin rolled with it and did a smashing job of officiating, ensuring that everyone could still hear what was said. She did it all with a smile and helped keep our wedding a joyous one, despite us all being soaked in freezing rain. Thanks Erin for everything! We are so grateful.

1 star My husband…read moreand I had a small, casual wedding back in 2022-- a handful of family, one photographer, and us, in the woods. We deliberately chose not to be bridezilla/groomzilla about any of it. That wasn't because the details don't matter -- they clearly matter enormously to a lot of couples, and for good reason -- it was just how we chose to approach our particular day. And thank goodness for that, because it turns out even a low-key wedding wasn't low-stakes enough to get through him unscathed. He arrived 40 minutes late, despite being emailed explicit directions -- location, cross streets, confirmed by him in writing hours earlier. We paid our photographer extra out of pocket to cover the lost time. Mid-conversation about how pretty the trees were, he segued into officiating without telling us he'd started -- we found out afterward that our wedding video is incomplete because he never signaled we were live. My father, my only living parent, and who would have been my only guest at our wedding, was too sick to attend and was counting on that video to see the ceremony. He didn't get to see all of it. We wrote our own vows in advance, and he showed us that he'd pasted them into his nice-looking book..... and then he read none of them, later explaining he'd left the notebook on a rock behind him -- then pronounced us married anyway. He also offers handfasting on his site, with several named knot options; we corresponded with him in detail about which one we wanted. When it came to it he seemed to not really understand what to do with our handfasting cords- and kind of laid it over our hands, and wrapped it once or twice, and declared it good. There was no knot tied in the "tying the knot" bit. For some couples, and for some belief systems, that knot is the actual marriage act, not a nice extra -- so this isn't a small thing to skip. Then there was the paperwork, which was explicitly part of his service. Our marriage certificate went to the wrong county, delaying our certified copy by two weeks and jeopardizing my window to get on my husband's health insurance -- a real cost, not a hypothetical one. When we raised it, he told us we must have submitted it ourselves, despite us handing him a pre-addressed envelope for the correct county. For his version to be true, he'd have had to actively create a different envelope himself. He never once considered the possibility that any part of this was on him. We've decided as a couple to laugh at the absurdity of the incompetence of our "official" who brags so much about himself on his website, and we celebrate having a photographer who took our handfasting cords after the ceremony, looked us in the eyes and said "We're gonna fix this", and took us to a beautiful meadow, where she stood at the edge of the meadow to give us privacy while still getting pictures of us reading our vows to each other. The knot was truly tied, physically and emotionally, and we felt respected by the person celebrating with us. It turned out to be one of the most beautiful parts of our wedding, but it wasn't part of the official recorded ceremony. We're genuinely fine, and rolling our eyes about it now... But if you're a couple who's spent months or years planning a ceremony that means everything to you, I don't think "roll with it" would be an option, and I'd hate for anyone to find that out the hard way. Proceed with real caution.

We were…read morelooking for a more casual and non-religious officiant for our wedding and Saundra was more than willing to accommodate our preferences. Our first intro call was extremely informative. She laid out her process and her experiences with other couples and different types of weddings she's officiated in the past. It was clear she was an experienced officiant from the well-established process she had. Her communication was very effective. Her meetings were tailored toward new couples who have zero experience with weddings and she was always responsive to any questions we had through email or text. We received many compliments about the Ceremony that she officiated. Saundra had developed 90% of the script herself and personalized it based on our preferences. Her delivery and energy was less officiant-like and more casual/home-like which was what we were hoping for. I definitely would recommend Saundra as an officiant for any wedding.

It also meant so much to us that she took care of delivering our marriage license to the city hall clerks and even provided a tracking number for added security. The ceremony she delivered was absolutely beautiful. We loved her questionnaires and the way she used them to craft something so personal and meaningful. She really took the time to get to know us as a couple, which made the ceremony feel authentic and special.
