    Janet Westall with Mr. & Mrs. Contreras...
    Berny C.

    When we set out to plan our intimate destination wedding at South Coast Winery in Temecula, we needed to find an accommodating and knowledgable officiant that could help us start our new life together. Janet Westall fulfilled these needs and provided the experience that ensured our day was perfect. Since we were not from the area, Janet was accommodating to our limitations and not only emailed and phoned us information but also met with us halfway between Los Angeles and Temecula to personally guide us through the marriage process. Her guidance included a variety ideas for everything from ceremony readings, wedding vow tips and marriage license requirements to personalizing our ceremony. She helped us include our children in the wedding and even translated portions of the program into Spanish. Janet Westall's knowledge and experience shined the day of our ceremony. Her calming presence proved invaluable with our restless and nervous children. From the moment she arrived at the venue she knew the exactly the way the proceedings should take place. She calmly explained this to our 9 year-old son and 5 year-old daughter so they'd know what to expect. Janet also carefully instructed our witnesses on how to properly sign our marriage license in order to avoid delays from the Register-Recorder's office. She even interacted with our small guest list and even snapped a few pictures for them so they'd not only be familiar with her put so that she didn't seem like a complete stranger. Overall, we were completely happy with Janet Westall's professionalism in her field. She helped us live our dream on our wedding day and will forever be grateful for that. We sincerely would recommend Janet as an officiant for anyone considering her and her services. Mr. & Mrs. Contreras

    We didn't have a wedding rehearsal but it felt like we did- everyone who had a role did a great job at Janet's direction.

    Choosing David as our wedding officiant was one of the best decisions we made. From our very first…read moreconversation, David was incredibly professional, attentive, and genuinely invested in getting to know us as a couple. He communicated clearly throughout the entire process, explained every step with ease, and made us feel completely confident that our ceremony was in the best hands. What truly set David apart was how heartfelt and personal our ceremony was. He took the time to learn our story, our values, and what mattered most to us, and he wove those details beautifully into the ceremony. It never felt generic or scripted. It felt authentic, meaningful, and deeply reflective of who we are and the journey we share. Many of our guests commented afterward on how emotional and sincere the ceremony felt, and several asked if David was a longtime friend because of how personal it was. On the day of the wedding, David was calm, reassuring, and impeccably prepared. His delivery was warm and confident, striking the perfect balance between reverence, emotion, and joy. He created a space where we felt fully present, grounded, and connected to one another in such an important moment. If you are looking for an officiant who is not only highly professional but also truly cares about crafting a ceremony that feels uniquely yours, David is an exceptional choice. We are so grateful he was part of our wedding day, it was everything we hoped for and more.

    If we could give more than 5 stars, we would. David took the time to get to know us months before…read moreour wedding. He took a genuine interest in us and our story. He is very professional and has a sense of humor. Everyone thought he was a relative of ours due to how well he presented everything. Many guests shared with us that our ceremony was the best they had ever been to. It was unforgettable and great part was because of David's work. When you are going into it somewhat blind when choosing an officiant, you definitely can't go wrong using David for your ceremony. He is amazing!

Jeff was the most incredible officiant we could have ever asked for. He led our ceremony with such warmth, sincerity, and ease that it felt both deeply meaningful and effortless. I really appreciated how thorough he was in walking us through how the ceremony would go, and made sure we felt confident going into the big day. He captured exactly what we wanted our wedding to feel like and set the perfect tone for the rest of the day. Everything was so beautifully said and done by Jeff. So many of our guests came up to us afterward asking where we found him, which speaks volumes about the impact he made. He even socialized with some of the groomsmen and guests which I thought was cool because he got to connect with our people and created a presence that was more personal and sincere. Looking back, I truly couldn't imagine anyone else standing up there with us. Jeff made our day unforgettable, and we are forever grateful for him. If you are reading this in search for someone to officiate your wedding, stop here and reach out to Jeff. I PROMISE you won't regret it!!!!! He's the bomb!

He helped guide us through everything and made the ceremony feel personal, thoughtful, and completely true to us. Planning a wedding in 90 days can feel overwhelming, but he made us feel supported every step of the way. He answered our questions, helped us think through the ceremony, and gave expert guidance while still making it clear that the day was ours. The ceremony was beautiful, heartfelt, and exactly what we hoped it would be. It felt intimate, personal, and full of love. So many guests told us afterward how special the ceremony felt, and we completely agree. We are so grateful for the peace and confidence he gave us. He helped create a moment we will remember forever, and we could not have asked for a better person to marry us.

One conversation with Pastor Carlos, and we knew he was the perfect person! Talking to him felt like talking to someone we've known for forever. He takes the time to get to know you as a person, you and your significant other as a couple, and your values. He allowed us to be fully involved in how we wanted the ceremony to go, what we wanted to be said and done, and he even made sure that his attire fit the theme of our wedding! He makes curating the ceremony incredibly easy and formulaic, which was incredible and relieving with all the other wedding chaos that needed to be dealt with. We had so much confidence in Pastor Carlos and we love how easy he made the whole process. Most importantly, he executed brilliantly! If you want someone who truly cares about your big day, who takes the time to get to know you, is detail oriented, and makes the process feel like a breeze like a true pro, then absolutely go with Pastor Carlos!! We're forever grateful to have had such an awesome and blessed individual join us together in one of the most important and special days of our lives! Thank you so much, Pastor Carlos

Cassie brought incredible energy and was the ultimate cheerleader for all of our wild ideas, while making sure we felt organized and supported every step of the way. She handled all the heavy lifting--vendor check-ins, communication, walkthroughs, and logistics--so all we had to do was focus on the fun parts! She truly listened to us, remained flexible with our choices, and brought in an incredible vendor team. From the DJ, catering, photographers, and bar to the florist and our incredible cake, every single recommendation was top-tier. On the day of the wedding, everything ran so seamlessly that we didn't have to worry about a single thing. So many of our guests kept complimenting the overall vibe, the gorgeous decor, how easy and smooth everything felt, and just how much fun they were having!
