San Francisco, Oakland Bay Area Wedding Officiants
Read all of our Wedding Ministers Reviews at 
Intimate and romantic? Large and festive? Short 'n sweet? Full of laughter and personal stories? Is it performed by a pro or your best friend? Are the two of you wearing a designer wedding gown and tux or a sundress and shorts? Is it in a grand hotel like the Fairmont? At the Legion of Honor or the Presidio? Are you thinking along the lines of Golden Gate Park or on a beach with your feet in the sand and the Golden Gate Bridge in the background?

You don't want all the drama, planning or expense of planning a large wedding. You've even considered eloping to Vegas.
You want the ease of a quick ceremony at the Courthouse, without the courthouse environment.
The idea of an intimate ceremony on a cliff overlooking the Pacific, in Golden Gate Park, or in a romantic San-Francisco B&B makes your stomach do the happy dance.
You don't want to share your sweetie with others on such a special day; your vows of love and commitment are a deeply personal matter. You'd rather have it be just the two of you; maybe with a party later...or not
You want to save your money for another purpose. Going into debt for a large wedding isn't worth it.

You're planning a wedding of any size and want a no-fuss, but non-cookie-cutter ceremony.
You desire a beautifully-worded ceremony performed by an experienced officiant.
You're watching your wedding budget and want a talented professional officiant without breaking the bank.
You're busy, and meeting with your officiant to write a ceremony from scratch is more time than you want to invest. A mostly pre-written ceremony, phone chats with your officiant, and some help on the day of the wedding is all you need.
You don't want something totally customized but like the idea of adding your own vows to an otherwise pre-written script.

We were extremely pleased with how well it all went. Our officiant (Ken Jones) was professional and friendly. The readings he helped us chose were amazing and it felt like we had known him a long time!
