  Reverend & Officiant

  * I've been ordained and officiating weddings since 2004.* I've officiated weddings all over California and also in Hawaii.* I require pre-marital counseling with my couples before the ceremony, at least 1-2 meetings.* Your wedding day is one of the most special days of your life. Don't just hire an officiant who does the job... select an officiant who will be there when you have questions and will ensure a smooth, beautiful ceremony.* I also have quite a few colleagues in photography, disc jockeying/emceeing, catering, and even know of an amazing florist & some excellent venues... I could be your one-stop wedding planning place... besides the wedding gown, bridesmaids dresses, cake, decorator, seat covers... okay, I guess I can't be your one-stop wedding planning place... but I can sure help with a lot of it to ease your mind.
