About L + A Union Ceremonies

L + A Union Ceremonies

Founder & Minister

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.

I don’t just create vows, I craft meaningful ceremonies that reflect the unique love and vision of each couple. Whether you’re drawn to tradition or something new, I design ceremonies that are sacred, cinematic, and unmistakably you. As queer individuals and allies of the community, my life and business partner and I bring our diverse faith backgrounds to every ceremony. We’re passionate about celebrating all forms of love and are committed to honoring your values and traditions in a way that feels authentic. Let me help you tell your story and bring your vision to life with a ceremony that leaves a lasting impact.

In three words: Collaborative, Empathetic, Supportive

    Absolutely amazing

    We are so incredibly grateful to have had Lillian as our wedding officiant. From the very beginning, she was warm, friendly, and professional, and she made both of us feel so comfortable and genuinely heard throughout the entire process. What really amazed us was how much she was able to learn about us through her questionnaires and conversations with us. She took those little details about our relationship and turned them into such a beautiful and meaningful ceremony. Her speech felt incredibly personal to us, and it was clear that she truly understood who we are as a couple. So many of our guests told us afterward how emotional the ceremony was and how they were crying tears of joy during her speech. Hearing that meant so much to us because it showed just how beautifully she was able to tell our story and connect with everyone there. Our wedding ceremony went absolutely perfectly, and I genuinely cannot thank Lillian enough for the role she played in making it so special. Having someone who was not only professional but also genuinely cared about our story made such a difference. Lillian, thank you so much for helping us create a ceremony that we will remember for the rest of our lives. We are truly grateful that you were such an important part of our wedding day!

    The Perfect Wedding Officiant

    We truly cannot say enough wonderful things about LA Union Ceremonies and Lilian. Choosing her to officiate our wedding was one of the best decisions we made, and she helped create a ceremony that we will cherish for the rest of our lives. From the very beginning, Lilian was warm, kind, thoughtful, and genuinely invested in getting to know us as a couple. She took the time to learn our story, understand our relationship, and ensure that every part of our ceremony reflected who we are. It never felt like a generic script—it felt like *our* story being told with incredible care, authenticity, and love. That personalized approach is something many couples praise about working with Lilian, and we experienced it firsthand. The ceremony she crafted was absolutely beautiful. Every word felt intentional, heartfelt, and masterfully written. She captured our personalities, our journey together, and the love we share in a way that moved not only us, but our family and friends as well. We received countless compliments afterward about how meaningful, emotional, and unique our ceremony was. One of the things we appreciated most was Lilian's thoughtful inclusion of bilingual portions in Spanish throughout the ceremony. It meant so much to us to have our Spanish-speaking family members feel included in such an important moment. She transitioned seamlessly between English and Spanish, making every guest feel welcomed and connected to our celebration. Her bilingual ceremonies are something she's especially known for, and it's easy to see why. Beyond delivering a beautiful ceremony, Lilian brought such a calming, reassuring presence on our wedding day. She made us feel comfortable, confident, and completely at ease, ensuring everything flowed smoothly from beginning to end. It was clear how much she genuinely cared—not just about officiating our wedding, but about making sure our ceremony was everything we had dreamed it would be. We are incredibly grateful for the time, care, creativity, and dedication Lilian poured into our wedding. She helped turn one of the most meaningful moments of our lives into something even more special than we could have imagined. If you're looking for an officiant who is compassionate, professional, collaborative, and truly gifted at telling your love story, we cannot recommend LA Union Ceremonies highly enough. Lilian is exceptional, and we will forever be thankful for the unforgettable ceremony she created for us. She helped make our wedding one of the best days of our lives, and we will treasure those memories forever.

    A officiant

    Lilian made everything so easy and personalized! You can tell she makes a lot of effort to understand each couple and learn about our connection. Our ceremony felt like us and we were filled with so much love and joy sharing our love with all of our guests through Lilian’s vision. It was perfect. She communicated with so much sincere emotion in both English and Spanish for our bilingual ceremony. We are so happy we found Lilian and would recommend her to any couple for their special day.

    Cultured and Friendly!

    We hit a stroke of luck when we found Lilian on Zola! From our very first call, my husband and I felt an instant connection with her. She guided us through every detail—from the paperwork we needed to thoughtful feedback on our vows—and even helped us incorporate a cacao ritual from Guatemala into our ceremony. Lilian truly brought our wedding to life. It was a perfect 10/10 experience!

I’ve been officially in business since 2017. Fun fact, I actually was first ordained in 2012, wanting to specialize in LGBTQ+ weddings for my close friends!
Absolutely— depending on whether or not you need/want a rehearsal, happy to include this fee in your total cost. Anything to make your day, that much easier!
Oh 100%. This is my bread and butter and the soul of what my business is about. Whatever you and your partner would like, I am here to cater to you!
Absolutely! Whether you’re already legally married or just planning a celebration, I’d be honored to officiate your ceremony. I’m here for the love part, legal or not.
I offer optional pre-ceremony sessions that help couples reflect, connect, and prepare for their marriage in a meaningful way. These are not therapy sessions, but guided conversations around communication, values, and your shared vision. It’s a chance to set intentional ground before your big day. Note: I’m not a licensed therapist, but I do hold a degree in Human Development and bring a grounded, relational approach to this work.
