Dani did an incredible job and was truly wonderful to work with throughout the entire process. Planning even a small elopement comes with a lot of moving parts, but she made everything feel smooth, comfortable, and easy from start to finish. She communicated clearly, stayed in touch throughout the process, and was always attentive to the small details that made such a big difference. The ceremony she wrote for us felt deeply personal, intimate, and meaningful. Dani has a warm and calming presence that immediately puts you at ease, and it genuinely felt like she cared about making our day special. We’re so grateful for the experience she created and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for an 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.

He just had a wonderful energy and aura about him that made it very easy to connect. His great personality just naturally puts smiles on people’s faces. Despite traveling far, he arrived exactly when he said he would so you could count on him to be punctual and professional. We loved how he personalized our ceremony, and he did an amazing job letting our guests really feel connected to our love story. During our reception, so many of our guests told us how much they loved him. We are more than happy with the outcome of hiring Danny. He exceeded our expectations, and that is saying a lot because both of us could be a bit of perfectionists. We highly recommend him to anyone and everyone. You are in good hands with him.

Hi, I’m Yvonne — Lead Officiant - Founder, and your personal hype woman for one of the biggest moments of your life. I am Texas based and I’ve married over 400 couples, and no two love stories have ever been the same. I started officiating as a tribute to my sister, who passed away unexpectedly in 2023. She loved us all deeply and wholeheartedly, and celebrating life’s big moments without her was the hardest part of losing her. Helping couples honor their journey and love story has been my way of healing — one beautiful, heartfelt ceremony at a time. Whether your vows are traditional, bilingual, or totally outside the box, I’m here for it. ♥

We couldn’t have asked for a more perfect officiant for our wedding. Yvonne brought so much warmth, intention, and genuine care to our ceremony. What meant the world to us was how beautifully she included our fur babies—she made them feel like an important part of our big day. She also memorialized our sweet Chance in the most touching, respectful way. It brought tears to our eyes and made us feel like he was right there with us. The way she honored him showed how deeply she understands the love people have for their pets and the impact they have on our lives. Our ceremony was meaningful, personal, and unforgettable because of her. If you want an officiant who truly listens, cares, and creates a ceremony that reflects your heart, she is the one. Highly, highly recommended!

Colleen officiated our wedding and was absolutely amazing! She was so helpful leading up to the day, guiding us through ideas we could incorporate into our ceremony, and soothing any stress we had. She suggested that we could exchange our vows privately during our first look, which took so much pressure off of us and made our vows that much more special. She also recommended we have our mothers warm our rings, which was so lovely. And she performed a hand fasting ceremony, which was so beautiful and a beautiful way to include our sisters with the laying of the cords. The rehearsal went so well with her help, and put us at ease for the actual ceremony. She put so much thought into everything, and we so appreciate all of her work. Worth every penny and more!

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. Absolutely would recommend:)

He was professional, dependable, easy to communicate with, and immediately connected with the kids. His flute playing, fantasy storytelling, magical Wizard items, and guided dragon meditation created an immersive experience that kept everyone engaged and excited.

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.
