Julia Garcia was the perfect officiant for our wedding. From our very first conversation, she was warm, thoughtful, and incredibly easy to talk to. She guided us through the process with care and clarity, and she was always open to feedback—truly collaborative in every sense. We wanted to include a specific poem in our ceremony, and she welcomed it wholeheartedly, helping us find just the right place for it in the flow. On the big day, Julia brought a calming, confident presence that immediately put us at ease. The ceremony she led was heartfelt and beautifully written. We’re so grateful to her for helping make our day so special, and we can’t recommend her enough to anyone looking for a kind, creative, and professional officiant.

Hi, I'm Lilian Argueta, a proud Guatemalan American, native Angelina, and the heart behind L+A Union Ceremonies. I’ve always believed in the power of human connection and the importance of honoring it with authenticity, care, and soul. I’ve been a certified officiant since 2017, and my path to this work has been anything but traditional—in the best way. L+A stands for Luz y Amor, light and love in Spanish. It’s more than a name; it’s a belief system. I believe we are all energy, all light…and when two people come together in love, something truly magical happens. That magic deserves to be witnessed and celebrated with intention & creativity.

Awarded Best of Zola
I am thrilled to highly recommend the exceptional wedding officiant, Lilian Argueta, who made my daughter's destination wedding in Cancun in April 2024 an unforgettable and magical experience. From the moment we engaged her services, it was clear that she was dedicated to creating a personalized and meaningful ceremony that truly reflected the love story of the bride and groom. Her thorough preparation was evident in the pre-event meetings where she took the time to get to know the couple, understand their relationship, and gather details that would make the ceremony truly special. Her attention to detail and genuine interest in their story shone through in every aspect of the ceremony. During the ceremony, her excellent presentation skills, heartfelt words, and warm demeanor captivated everyone present, perfectly capturing the love and magic between the bride and groom. The way she tailored the ceremony to include a lightning round of chess at the end of the vows, symbolizing how the couple met, was a brilliant and iconic touch that truly made the ceremony unique and personalized. I cannot recommend her enough for any couple looking for a wedding officiant who goes above and beyond to create a ceremony that is heartfelt, meaningful, and memorable. Her professionalism, creativity, and genuine care for her clients make her an outstanding choice for any couple looking to start their journey together in a truly special way.

Born in Australia, lived in Scotland, I've now been in the US for 10 years, I presided over my first wedding in 2016. Being asked by two of my oldest friends changed my life forever. But I was crazy nervous. That first ceremony elicited something inside of me I never expected. I LOVED, love! I had a feeling of pride and community I'd never experienced before. More and more friends asked me to officiate their weddings over the years until I finally said "frick it, maybe this is my thing." Becoming an officiant has been one of the most rewarding things I've done, experiencing your marriage ceremony with you is now something I look forward to.

I'm all about #antiboringweddings. Whether you're having just the birds and trees as guests or 500 of your nearest and dearest, your marriage ceremony should sound and feel like you. (Crazy concept, right?) That's why every ceremony I do is about creating the experience you want for yourselves so it is both joyful and unforgettable.

Marie made our day absolutely perfect! We booked our wedding for June 6th in January and Marie was communicative and thoughtful in every interaction. We love her dedication to inclusion, love, and the best experience possible for her couples. We told Marie that we wanted our ceremony to feel as if it were just us, and she absolutely delivered. We’d get married by Marie a hundred times if we could!

Ceremonies by Robbie

  • Serves San Buenaventura (Ventura), CA

Robbie works with couples to create wedding ceremonies that feel personal, grounded, and true to who they are. As an ordained, non-denominational minister with decades of experience, his approach is rooted in ministry, pastoral counseling, and working closely with people through meaningful life moments. He takes the time to get to know each couple so the ceremony reflects their relationship, not something templated or generic. From structure and flow to vows, he guides the entire process so everything feels clear, natural, and meaningful. Premarital support is available if desired, but never required.

When our original officiant flaked out a little less than a week before our wedding, I was in full panic bridezilla mode. To us, the ceremony was the root of the entire wedding, the moment everything else was built around, the whole purpose of why we were all even there. I was overwhelmed, stressed, and honestly heartbroken. Then we found Robbie through a coworker of mine (Robbie had officiated their wedding a few years ago). From the very first call, he spoke to me so rationally that I could actually breathe again. He took the time to reassure us, walk us through our options, and immediately began moving things around in his schedule to make it all work out. The situation we brought to him wasn’t simple or convenient, but he took it on with so much intention and care. Even though everything was last-minute, he never made us feel rushed, secondary, or like we were just another booking. What’s even more incredible is that even though he only knew us for about 5 days, the ceremony felt like he had known our story for years. We will always be grateful to Robbie for stepping in when we needed it most. Just a side note, despite everything he had to do to make it work for us, Robbie never tried to upsell us or charge extra for our last-minute request. A few other officiants we spoke with before him said they would need to add a few hundred dollars as a “late fee,” but Robbie didn’t do that at all. I don't even think it crossed his mind. Honestly, though, he was such a blessing that we chose to give him more voluntarily, because we truly felt he deserved it.

What I love about being an officiant is getting to know my couples. What their hopes and dreams are as individuals and as a couple.

Your ceremony doesn't have to be "cookie cutter" or "run of the mill." I work with all my couples to present a ceremony that truly reflects your relationship. My goal is to ensure that you and your guests experience a meaningful and entertaining wedding ceremony to start your special day.

Pamela did an amazing job creating a meaningful ceremony for us on a short-time frame, was incredibly communicative, and altogether a wonderful officiant! She was very gracious with how scattered some of the planning went and made us both feel so comfortable, which meant the world as a young queer couple. Her presentation of the ceremony truly felt like it reflected us as a couple, and our family members who were in attendance were amazed that she had crafted a ceremony that felt so perfect to us just from talking on the phone with us a couple of times.

Lawrence E. Adjah, MBA, M.Ed, M.Div. is a pastor, marriage counselor and best-selling author on relationships. Lawrence specializes in marriage counseling and one-on-one spiritual advisory. He approaches his guidance in a biblically based, structured, relatable, and systematic manner, with clear owned outcomes and next steps. Lawrence will guide you through the wedding planning process with warmth, intentionality and clarity. Lawrence offers a wide array of services to guide you through your wedding and beyond. He provides both wedding officiating services and vow renewals, as well as pre-marital counseling and ongoing marriage counseling.

My husband and I worked with Pastor Lawrence for a year of faith-based pre-marital counseling and had an amazing experience. We, like many couples, went into our first session thinking we’d already discussed the most important topics and we’d maybe need to do 3 formal pre-marital counseling sessions. Our first session was so impactful that we immediately decided that we wanted a full year of counseling. That decision, we believe, completely changed the trajectory of our marriage. Pastor Lawrence asked difficult, thought-provoking questions that helped us see our relationship (with each other and with God) in new ways, and each session left us feeling better equipped for marriage than we ever expected. His depth of knowledge, approachability, and ability to guide meaningful, relevant conversations aimed at aligning us as one—even when we thought we had nothing new to discuss—was truly a gift. We are so grateful for the wisdom and encouragement he poured into us throughout this process and would highly recommend him to any couple who is looking to build a strong, Christ-centered foundation going into their marriage.
