Say "I Do!" Marriage License Signing
A simple 'no fuss' get together to complete the marriage license may be the perfect option for those couples who prefer simple, quick, and make it legal! It will be a much more romantic experience than a quick courthouse wedding. Couples should arrive with their marriage license and two (2) witnesses. This is a great alternative to a courthouse wedding. It's also an option to consider if a family member or friend will be officiating your "symbolic" wedding ceremony.
- Completion & filing of the marriage license
Elopement or Micro-Wedding
Free from the fuss - focused on the feeling. You will enjoy a 20 minute ceremony that reflects your story, your promises, and your intentions. You can expect a deeply personal, meaningful, and romantic ceremony that perfectly honors the importance of your union. Even if your wedding is an intimate affair with only witnesses, your ceremony will be just as meaningful, personal, and thoughtfully crafted—never rushed or shortened just because it’s the two (or a few) of you!".
- From $400 - $475
Classic Traditional Ceremonies
A timeless ceremony, thoughtfully designed with a modern touch—romantic, authentic, and uniquely yours. While simpler in structure, your ceremony will still be professionally written and beautifully delivered, with a script that is very personal, and reflects your relationship and values. This ceremony is ideal for couples who prefer a more traditional format, offering a heartfelt experience without the personalized add-ons. No fluff – just the good stuff!
Bespoke, Modern & Uniquely Yours
Designed With Intention, Celebrated With Love. This 30-minute ceremony includes attendance at your rehearsal and features a carefully crafted blend of classic structure and bespoke touches. Your ceremony will be truly one-of-a-kind. Your guests will be deeply moved by the genuine, profound meaning behind every moment, perfectly capturing the unconditional love you share.

Meaningful and personal
As a personal friend, I know the time and effort Bonnie puts into every ceremony making it meaningful, special and unique for every couple she marries. It was very apparent when she married us back in 2013. I highly recommend her if you want your wedding ceremony to be personalized and special to you.
Bonnie Sanchez•Jul 2, 2026Happy Canada Day Carla...thank you for taking the time to leave this beautiful review. I'm so blessed to have you and Mark in my life and it was truly an honor to be asked to unite you both in marriage. And thank you for flying all the way to Vegas to have me do it! Love you both! x00x

Sarah
Book her NOW!! We cannot recommend Bonnie enough. From our very first conversation, she made us feel comfortable and genuinely cared about getting to know us as a couple. She took the time to create a ceremony that felt personal and authentic, and it ended up being one of our favorite parts of the entire wedding day. So many of our family and friends commented afterward about how beautiful and meaningful the ceremony was. Bonnie struck the perfect balance of heartfelt, lighthearted, and personal. There were laughs, happy tears, and it truly felt like "us." Beyond officiating, Bonnie was incredibly organized, communicative, and thoughtful throughout the entire process. She answered questions we didn't even know we had and made everything feel easy and stress-free. We are so grateful that she was part of our wedding and can't imagine our day without her. If you're looking for an officiant who is kind, professional, and genuinely invested in making your ceremony special, Bonnie is the best choice.
Weddings by Bonnie•Jun 21, 2026Congratulations Sarah & Teddy! Thank you for leaving such kind and complimentary feedback. Your wedding celebration was one of the most beautiful wedding experiences I have ever been blessed to serve. Sharing the altar with the two of you, was truly an honor. I loved all the options you chose to include in your ceremony, and so did your guests. Your group of family members and friends were by far the most incredibly fun, friendly, and wonderful group I have ever stood before. There was an overwhelming amount of love and happiness in everyone's hearts that day. Thank you so much for allowing me to be a part of it!

Bonnie was outstanding to work with for our May wedding! She is super organized and detail oriented, as well as very thoughtful. We had a terrific experience working with her and we were so appreciative of her kindness to us leading up to and on our special day. Bonnie is very professional but also brings a softness to her approach. She thinks of everything you will need for your pre and post wedding ceremony. We are lucky we had the opportunity to work with her!
Weddings by Bonnie•Jun 4, 2026Meghan - thank you so much for leaving such a complimentary review - it means at lot. I am truly blessed that I was able to spend such a special experience with you and Mike on your wedding day. You were an absolutely stunning bride and the vows you both shared - really touched my heart. I know you waited a long time for the "perfect guy" to come into your life - and he was worth the wait. I know he feels the same about you - he definitely hit the jackpot finding you. I am thrilled for you both - and so grateful to have shared such memorable moments with you. Sending hugs to you both, and best wishes for many happy and healthy years together as husband and wife! 💝

Olivia Chadwick
Bonnie was our officiant at our outdoor wedding ceremony this past Sunday in Warrenton, NC and we cannot recommend her enough. She was the kindest soul when we reached out to her earlier this year and made my husband and I feel so welcome while working with her. She was professional, organized, and responsive to our questions. Bonnie was a favorite among guests, who said she was one of the best officiants they had ever had the pleasure of witnessing. We couldn’t have asked for a better person to marry us under our sacred old oak tree. Highly recommend booking Bonnie for your next wedding!
Weddings by Bonnie•May 23, 2026Congratulations Olivia & Zach! 💝 Thank you so much for taking the time to leave these beautiful compliments. My feet have still not touched the ground since your wedding day. Your ceremony was one of the most difficult I've had to perform in awhile...because the two of you and your families, treated me like a family member; I was really choking back the tears. From the moment I read your love story and all that you two have endured - I literally prayed for the opportunity to unite you both in marriage. The two of you are so special and so perfect for each other. I will never have the proper words to fully express how grateful I am to both of you for allowing me such an honor. In addition to the heartfelt moments, I will also cherish the funny moments in your ceremony (the "noose" and "Caleb - pass the rings")! Priceless. Looking forward to your housewarming party...I'm inviting myself!! 💝 Sending hugs to you both - thank you again!

Aiyana Bijou
Bonnie was absolutely amazing as our wedding officiant. From the moment we met her, she was so sweet, warm, and genuine. She truly made our elopement feel special and intimate instead of rushed or transactional. She took the time to interact with our parents, and made everyone feel comfortable and included. My husband and I had never gone through this process before, and she walked us through everything so calmly and thoughtfully. You can tell she genuinely cares about the couples she works with. We truly could not have asked for a better experience, and we are so grateful she was part of such an important moment in our lives. Highly recommend Bonnie to anyone looking for an officiant who is kind, patient, and truly passionate about what she does!
Weddings by Bonnie•May 12, 2026Aiyana & Angel - congratulations! 🥳💝 Thank you so much for taking the time to leave such a beautiful review about our experience working together. As I told your parents...I want to adopt both of you and be your bonus-parent! My heart melted seeing the way you two look at each other. You chose the perfect location to share your vows and I am so grateful to have been a part of it. You have such an amazing future to look forward to and I am just thrilled you get to spend your "happily ever after" together. Sending hugs to you both - thank you again for everything! 💝
