Get to Know Our Bay Area Wedding Officiants

Irreverent (adjective) ir·rev·er·ent. Characterized by a lightly pert and exuberant quality; "a certain irreverent gaiety and ease of manner"

Laughingly dubbed the "Irreverent Reverends" due to our propensity to institute creativity, warmth and even a bit of humor into wedding ceremonies, our officiants pride themselves on their "irreverent gaiety and ease of manner" when developing and performing your wedding service.

We share a passion for helping couples tell their unique love story and we are absolutely grounded in the philosophy that all expressions of love are valid. To that end, we create your ceremony based on your expressed values. You may want to mention God in your ceremony, or you may prefer something totally secular. You may desire that your ceremony reflects the glory of nature, a Universal Spirit, or you may have some more traditional religious or cultural customs you'd like to include. The choice is yours.

It's your day. It's all about you. It's also incredibly important that you "click" with your wedding officiant to insure a comfortable and special wedding ceremony experience. We are all talented and creative writers, polished public speakers, and we're experts at handling wedding-day glitches. We know all of the ceremony etiquette and we're just as quick to reassure you that you don't have to do anything by a prescribed set of rules. Mostly, we love what we do, and it shows.

Jeremy Myers

I love the atmosphere instilled by a perfectly executed wedding ceremony. Opening words to let everyone present know your intentions to marry, statement of intention and vows as promises to each other and the exchange of rings to complete the compact. It has a cadence and rhythm that is timeless and elegantly structured...click here to learn more about Jeremy
