The California Wedding Officiant “Happily Ever After Plan” 

1. Questionnaire/Contact Form

In order to help you, I need to know a bit about you and your wedding day. Please fill me in with these few details by completing the Contact Form. If you prefer, I can also email you a Questionnaire.

2. Brochure

When you complete the Contact Form, you will automatically receive a digital brochure with all of the available Packages and Fees. I will also send a detailed quote for the package that seems the most appropriate for you based on your input.

3. Schedule a Consultation Meeting (Wonderful Wedding and Marvelous Matrimony packages only)

Use the Handy Online App, to schedule a meeting, either in person or via online video chat.

4. Ceremony Script Creation

Based on your input, I will craft a first draft/sample ceremony script that will have a variety of ideas, options, and alternatives.

During the meeting, I will go over the text and walk you through it. You will bring your thoughts and ideas, and I will bring my experience and resources. The three of us will collaborate to compose a "Magical and Memorable" ceremony script for your special day.

5. Contract and Deposit

If, after the meeting, you decide that California Wedding Officiant is a good fit, I will email you a formal proposal which spells out all the details of what we have agreed to. It will have a link which makes it easy to send a retainer deposit with any major bank card. Once complete, your wedding date and time will be reserved on my calendar. We will continue to communicate and fine-tune all the details of your ceremony right up until your “Big Day.”

"No union is more profound than marriage, for it embodies the highest ideals of love, fidelity, devotion, sacrifice, and family. In forming a marital union, two people become something greater than they once were." - Justice Anthony Kennedy - as part of a historic United States Supreme Court ruling

5 Star Review

"Andrew was amazing! Monica and I were so happy we found Andrew. After doing a search on the Internet for an officiant, we came across Andrew which felt like a good match. He was quick to respond to my inquiry and exceptionally friendly. I think the first time Andrew and I spoke over the phone, we spoke for more than 20 minutes just getting to know each other and feeling each other out.  

Andrew was just as polite and friendly in person as he was over the phone. He explained to us how everything works and showed us a sample of the script. Andrew was so flexible in making changes we requested for certain cultural traditions for our ceremony.

On the wedding day, Andrew arrived early and ready to go. He had a calming demeanor about him which helped me and my wife stay calm throughout the ceremony. After the ceremony, Andrew helped us complete all the proper paperwork which he filed for us the next day because he just so happened to be by the county clerk's office.

I can't say anything more about Andrew. He was easy to communicate with via email and just an overall great officiant and amazing person."
