As a Santa Barbara wedding officiant, I’m going to tell you something maybe no one has said to you yet…
The ceremony IS your wedding.
Think about that for a minute. All of this planning, time, and energy goes into getting everyone in one place to focus on you two for 20-ish minutes so they can watch you say your vows and be pronounced “married”. That is what all of this is about – the love and life you share. Everything that happens after the ceremony is the party to celebrate what just happened – YOU GOT MARRIED!

That’s where I come in. I create an unforgettable experience for you and your loved ones as you publicly declare your commitment to each other. (It’s kind of my jam!) Wedding ceremonies should and can be equal parts meaningful, heartfelt moments and honest-to-goodness belly laughs. I will keep you fully present so you can feel the love and joy of this momentous occasion. By the time we get up, you’ll have a friend guiding you through this experience and not a stranger who is simply reciting some script they got off the internet. And since you chose to get married in Santa Barbara, well, you already know it’s going to be breathtakingly gorgeous!
Whether you want a laid-back wedding in Ojai or a stunning modern affair at the Riviera Mansion, I want to celebrate with you as your Santa Barbara wedding officiant!
