Annie was the anchor of our ceremony, and we truly cannot imagine the day without her. The time and…read morecare she spent getting to know us and our love story translated so beautifully into the words she shared during our ceremony -- there was not a dry eye in the house. The thoughtfulness she brought to honoring our ancestors and land acknowledgment, the way she wove together how we met and the core values that guide us every day, all felt deeply personal and intentional. Her beautiful poetry and storytelling created space for both our Black and Jewish traditions and histories in a way that felt authentic, loving, and profoundly meaningful. Days later, we are still reeling from the magic of that day and so grateful Annie was the one who guided us through it.

We were having difficulties finding an officiator through our church and only had 1 week before our…read morewedding date to find someone to officiate our wedding. We then stumbled across Officially Hitched and got connected with Annie. She made what was a stressful moment extremely stress relieving. Her vocals at our ceremony were clear, said at a good pace and overall a well spoken reading of our script we created. I would absolutely recommend going through them they made this a pleasant simple and seamless experience.

Long overdue review. So sorry I did not post sooner. Andrew did our wedding awhile ago, but I never…read morecame around to reviewing on yelp. Andrew was great he was able to officiate our wedding with short notice (about 2 weeks) as our original officiant was not able to follow through. He's very professional and organized. He had everything laid out, and was very helpful for what we needed to do after the ceremony. Thank you so much for saving our wedding.

We found Andrew on Yelp due to the great reviews. After we had talked with him, we knew he would…read morebe a great officiant to our wedding. Andrew was very professional and presented a template of vows that we can work with. Being that we are both very busy and expecting a child soon, working on the details of ceremony and vows was a lower priority so it was great Andrew had something we can work with!! Andrew followed up closely with us up until the day of ceremony so we knew what to expect. No surprises for sure! On the day of ceremony, Andrew arrived at the meeting point (Palace of fine art) more than 1/2 hour early as not not be late. Of course, we ended up running behind schedule by 15 mins... but this goes to show you the professionalism of Andrew. After the ceremony, Andrew closely followed up with us about submitting paperwork to the city, and also about obtaining a valid copy of our marriage license. Overall Andrew was great from beginning to the end. He has made a stressful event not stressful. His professionalism is well appreciated and his performance in speech was great. We highly recommend Andrew for your next officiant needs!

Nilou was hands down the most amazing member of our wedding team. From our first phone call with…read moreher, we knew immediately that we wanted her to be a part of our wedding ceremony. Her warmth and kindness are palpable even through a video call, and her commitment to honoring the beauty and history of the Persian wedding ceremony is apparent from the very first interaction. She seamlessly blended Farsi and English for our 50/50 American/Iranian crowd, and even those who have never seen a Persian ceremony before were able to understand and appreciate each tradition and symbol used throughout the ceremony. We have heard from all of our guests that it was the most beautiful ceremony they have ever seen, and this was entirely due to Nilou's professionalism, warm demeanor, and passion for her work. We were so thrilled with the way Nilou's ceremony blended together our two cultures and made for the perfect start to our families joining together. Thank you Nilou!!

You don't need to look any further and must start with Dyanna for a wedding officiant. Not only is…read moreshe the most economical (important to many) of the 15 marriage officiants whom I called, but she is so professional and efficient and a problem solver. I had a simple wedding that I wanted to take place within a week. Got in touch with Dyanna, and she happened to be free. Originally her low fee got my attention, then it just became a joy to work with her and we got everything done in less than an hour on the day of the wedding at City Hall. We went straight to the Assessor's and Recorder's Office to hand in the completed application. BUT...a couple of weeks later when I went back to SF City Hall to get the marriage certificate, they said that we made a mistake and handed in an application that had a slight tear on the lower right and that the State office will reject the paperwork. They wanted Dyanna to show up again and do more paperwork and pay a fee. Thanks to Dyanna's quick actions, good working relationship with the City offices, and strong knowledge of the marriage license process, she was able to argue and negotiate a net benefit for us. It is so important to have a professional officiate your wedding, and I highly recommend Dyanna for a stress-free ceremony!

In our search for the vendors we found My City Hall Wedding which happened to be perfect for us. They provided a full package that included highly rated professionals - from hair/makeup stylist to photo/video. Instead of communicating with 5 different vendors we worked with 1 single point of contact - Tej from My City Hall Wedding. She guided us through everything we would need on our wedding day - hair, makeup, flowers, limo, photo and video. All in one single package. Tej helped me chose a hair and makeup style as well as flowers. And we completed trusted MCHW with their choice of photographer and videographer - look at their website - the images speak for themselves. On the day of the wedding everything went smoothly without a single worry. Our stylist was on time and was great. The florist delivered the flowers to our hotel room. The car was waiting for us, the photographer and videographer met us at the entrance of the City Hall and guided us through the whole process. Can't thank Josef (our photographer) for incredible photos. Alex - the videographer - captured very intimate and personal moments. Can't thank My City Hall Wedding and everyone involved enough. I have heard lots of stressful wedding stories and have been to a few of these myself. That was not our experience.

She had all the great qualities one could hope for in a wedding officiant - organized, creative ideas and suggestions, punctual - but the elements that stood out the most were her compassion and passion for joining 2 souls together in ritual. Cynthia even helped counsel us about our last-minute anxieties and stress (aka, "threshold demons")! When we were pressed to find a photographer at the last minute, she again was there for us and looped in a fantastic photographer named Willie who saved us from a lot of undue stress on our big day. We wanted a "nontraditional" ceremony and Cynthia happily obliged. She knew all the intricacies of a handfasting, and even educated our guests every step of the way. She guided us through the entire process and led us, with love, through the gates of marriage. Cynthia's love for her work shines through and was authentically felt during the actual ceremony! Cynthia is a consummate professional with a kind, loving and creative spirit! We are so grateful to have had her guiding hand and heart to help us cross the marriage threshold! Please, take our word for it, contact Cynthia for your ceremony. Your hearts will be happy you did!

Minister Maggie married us last summer and from the initial email, to our in-person planning meetings, to the big day, Maggie was an ultimate professional.

Longer answer: My wife and I were married by Mark in October, 2011, at a small ceremony at City Hall. We are from out of town, and so, had a lot of anxiety about doing the event so far away. My wife, ever the researcher, came up with Mark's name somewhere, and we asked for his help. We had a couple of phone calls with him and in the calls, Mark did a great job of detailing the event, his needs and listening to our preferences and expectations. We had a number of e-mail exchanges, and his forms and format are all very easy to follow, and yet, provided an incredible about of personalization to the event that made it very special for us. Mark's personality definitely shown through at the event. He was upbeat, cheerful and helped set the tone for the entire day. He was on time, very well dressed, and obviously has a knack for this thing. Again, all of our guests commented that he was one of the best wedding officiants they had ever seen. His style was very inclusive, and he made it a point to make everyone there feel a part of our special day in a way I have never seen done before. I cannot say enough about how thoughtful, professional and enthusiastic Mark was. I highly recommend him to anyone planning a wedding in San Francisco. Thanks again Mark! Bill in St. Louis
