Wow - what a terrific experience. I reached out to so many officiants for my wedding and Leslie was the only one who wanted to get to know both my husband and me before the ceremony. I'm so happy we met Leslie. We had a very small, family only ceremony and we wanted to have laughs and smiles during the event - nothing sappy and sentimental. The program he suggested was perfect and we customized it to fit our event and style. Super easy to work with, very professional and yes, there were laughs and smiles and tons of fun. How can you go wrong with someone named Leslie?! :-) read more

Leslie was thoughtful, personal, and kind, and caring. He really took the time to guide us through this hectic and often daunting process. He made sure to personalize our ceremony, tailoring it to our specific needs. He was very approachable, and patient with us, we were able to benefit from his years of experience. He has countless templates and options for the big day, if like us you are not entirely sure what you want. I have already started recommending him to our friends who recently got engaged, and i can guarantee they will not be the last! read more

I've known Leslie for years, so when it was time to find someone to officiate for our ceremony, he was the go to guy. We wanted something spiritual, not overly religious. Leslie gave us many options on language, or we could have scrapped it all and done our own. It ended up being a combination of the two. His suggestions were great, and even had us send him copies of our vows, which he brought to the ceremony--one less thing to think about. Our guests liked the ceremony, not too short, not too long, so we were very happy with the net result. He had some very good advice for us, as a couple, a few days before which we took. I'm not going to share what it was, you'll have to hire Leslie because he'll get you thorugh it all. read more

We loved working with Leslie! We had an intimate elopement ceremony at the Greystone Mansion, and interviewed several officiants for our special day. We chose to go with Leslie because we clicked with him on our very first phone conversation. He gave us some useful tips and sent us an outline for our ceremony. We spoke with him a few days before the big day to walk through everything one last time. On the day of, Leslie made us both feel at ease and made the process effortless. I'm so glad he told us to write down our own vows and read them to one another for the ceremony. Not sure either one of us would have been able to remember anything otherwise. Thank you Leslie! read more

I have nothing but great things to say about Leslie. He's so professional and really listened to what my husband and I wanted for our ceremony. From the moment we met him we wanted to hire him on the spot but didn't want to seem too eager :) His personality is what sold us, he seemed like a really cool down to earth type of guy. He takes pride in what he does and really works with you to make changes and additions until you feel that your ceremony is how you envisioned it would be. Leslie is 100% reliable and had great suggestions which are helpful when you have no idea what you're doing. We were able to also include a sand ceremony and were very happy with how that turned out. He was also able to attend the rehearsal dinner and was on time. My brother is getting married next year and will most likely also be using Leslie for his wedding ceremony. Thank you again Leslie, you made our ceremony everything we had hoped it would be! read more

Leslie is the BEST!!! My husband and I just got married 2 weeks ago in Rancho Palos Verdes and the ceremony was a pure perfection! When we met Leslie first time we knew right away that he is exactly what we were looking for :) His personality and demeanor, his voice and kindness comes out the moment you meet him - and we all clicked right away and we thrilled to hire him as our officiant!!! It was extremely important to us that the person who marries us has all those attributes. In the end it is our wedding ceremony and you really DO care who will set the tone for the most important ceremony of your life and I wouldn't change a single detail that Leslie brought to it! As we were planning the ceremony he helped a ton with his advice and suggestions and we pieced out ceremony together combining lines and thoughts from many many files Leslie sent over to us - and it turned out to be epic! ;) He has this extremely calm voice that really makes the romantic words sound so deep and gives you goosebumps- plus there was no dry eye in the house during the ceremony :) I would recommend Leslie over and over again, great and funny guy and will lead you through the whole process and all details and you will never feel lost with all the paperwork or documents. Thank you Leslie again a ton!!!! :) The Freetuccis read more

Leslie is on the ball when it comes to making your day your way! He met with us a few times before the wedding just to fill us in on some ideas and how the ceremony could go. We took his "template" and made it our own, and he did a beautiful job the day of. He is super accommodating and so cool that we even invited him to stay for the rest of the party. read more

My husband and I got married on August 9th last year and we found Leslie online. We really wanted to find an officiant who we felt comfortable with. When we met him, we noticed right away how easy it was to talk to him and how much he genuinely wanted to know about us/our lives. Over the course of the pre wedding planning, Leslie did not miss a beat. He would follow up with us while we were lost in other things, to make sure that we were on the same page. Leslie would send us ideas for the ceremony and suggestions on how to make it perfect. When our wedding weekend came to be, Leslie asked to come to the rehearsal so he would understand the wedding completely. This made our wedding day run as smooth as it could of and the ceremony was as perfect as one could ask for. I would highly recommend Leslie to any of our friends/family because he made our wedding ceremony unforgettable. read more

Our son and his bride had there wedding on 10/29/16. Leslie was GREAT!!!. He met with us first and went over everything and KJ and Katrina were so pleased. I highly recommend you let Leslie be your celebrant if you choose a non-denominational service. Thank you Leslie Richard Gabriel read more

Leslie is the greatest. He was polite, kind and radiated calm and serenity which is exactly what we were looking for. We had a wedding with a lot of ups and downs but the ceremony was absolutely perfect with his optimism and professionalism. I really loved his process of making the ceremony what we wanted and guiding us through making decisions on our vows. It was never do this or that, but he also knew when to steer us in the right direction and his follow through was top notch. I definitely got the feeling that he would absolutely be as hands on or hands off as any couple wanted and needed. Dont look any further for an officiant, you will have a wonderful ceremony with Leslie! read more

Leslie made our day perfect! My husband and I were married on October 18, 2014. We wanted to find an officiant who would not only make our special, but someone with whom we had a connection with. During our first meeting we felt like we had known him for years. He was was open to our ideas and he also gave us suggestions for our ceremony. Throughout the planning Leslie was able to adjust our ceremony to fit when we encountered a few obstacles. He added a beautiful sand ceremony to accommodate including our children and joining of our families. Our guests mentioned many times over how wonderful he was. It is our hope that Leslie will be our lifelong friend. If I could give him more stars, I would! Thank you, Leslie for making our day so beautiful! read more

Leslie was the perfect officiant for our wedding. We decided to have a surprise wedding at our coed baby shower. Leslie tailored the ceremony perfectly to us. He worked with us to create exactly what we wanted even when we asked for "The Princess Bride speech". We couldn't have asked for a more special ceremony and day. read more

The right officiant was very important to us for our ceremony. We had seen several at weddings where we knew we wanted to get the right person. We looked at several and are very happy we found and selected Leslie. He absolutely listened to everything we wanted to do and was extremely professional during the entire process. He made sure to follow up on every item and made sure it was done. The ceremony itself could not have gone better and everyone commented that it was one of the most enjoyable ones they attended. Thanks, Leslie! Jen & Adam read more

Leslie recently officiated our wedding, and My Wife and I can't recommend his services more highly. From our first conversation, we all hit it off right away, and he consistently reminded us that he would be more than willing to help us achieve whatever vision we had in mind for our ceremony. Leslie is easy to get touch with, reliable, professional and the ideal officiant for any prospective bride and groom. Leslie helped us navigate through a daunting experience, making it feel like a walk in the park. read more

Leslie was Awesome! He worked with us to have the wedding ceremony that WE wanted. He was able to attend all of our scheduled appointments and was at the venue well before he was due to be there. read more

Definitely recommend Leslie as an officiant! He is so easy to work with and easy going. He was exactly what we were looking for in an officiant. He is genuine and made our ceremony exactly what we wanted! He also had great suggestions when I wasn't sure what to do.

I would highly recommend using Leslie for your wedding! read more

I found Leslie on Yelp and after reading his outstanding reviews gave him a call. Right from the first phone call I loved his energy and outgoing personality. Leslie, my husband and I met up the next day at a Starbucks to discuss in further detail what we were looking for and what he could provide for us. We both agreed we wanted him as out officiant. He has a clear passion for what he does, it was evident while we sat in that coffeehouse and it was evident on the day of our wedding. We planned our wedding in two weeks and Honestly, without Leslie nothing would have went smoothly. He suggested the spot on the beach where we ultimately had our wedding, he was fantastic with his ceremony flexibility, as an anxiety ridden wreck of a person- Leslie helped keep me keep calm and not completely lose my mind, he did what I will call welfare check up phone calls and kept in communication with us right up until we met him at the beach to begin the ceremony. He gave us so many options for how our ceremony could go and gave really great input that we couldn't have done without. His go with the flow attitude mixed with professionalism and a love of his job make him the perfect wedding officiant. We are having a big wedding next summer and already booked him to officiate that one as well. I truly cannot recommend him enough! read more

Leslie came through for my wife and I on pretty short notice. We interviewed him and another wedding officiant on the same day, less than a month from our wedding date (which was November 2nd). We chose Leslie strictly because the interview we had with him went very well and he made us both feel at ease. He asked us questions, seemed to care about how we met and what we had in mind for our futures. But we couldn't find any reviews on Leslie and the other wedding officiant we interviewed had all kinds of great reviews. As it turned out, we searched under his name instead of "Leslie Weds." So my wife and I felt we took a risk by hiring Leslie because we had no reviews on him and we passed on a wedding officiant who had a lot of excellent reviews. But Leslie was awesome. He volunteered to come to our rehearsal (which most officiants are against). He had a very good outline and had a lot of suggestions that made everything seem much easier than we had initially thought. We only had one draft done and the outline was complete - it was that well written and customized to the way we wanted our ceremony to be. He also followed up several times to make sure we were comfortable with everything that was written, and he came through in a big way on our big day! Thanks again Leslie! I would highly recommend Leslie to anybody who is unsure on choosing an officiant. You won't be disappointed! read more

We had Leslie officiate our wedding yesterday in Malibu on the beach and we had nothing but the most amazing experience with him. When we first found him originally, we set up a skype call with him and right away we felt a perfect vibe and fit from him. Leslie is super easy going and let us really dictate the type of ceremony we were looking for. At the wedding, he had a very calming demeanour to him and made us feel extremely comfortable. He conducted a beautiful wedding and we couldn't be happier. Leslie, thanks for being so cool about everything, letting us do our thing, and being so supportive. Really, you were perfect. read more

The best person you can find to administer your ceremony. My wife and I have 3 kids between us and wanted to include them in the wedding. He brought ideas and was very patient with the children. He provided great detail to our wedding and even when some things had to quickly change the day of the wedding, he never had a problem and quickly followed our way. Your day, your way is what he says and he really means it. He takes time to meet with you before and rant rush anything. He has a real passion to make your ceremony be perfect for you. read more

Leslie was the first and only officiant we interviewed. Right when we met and immediately after our first meeting, we felt Leslie was going to make our ceremony awesome! He's friendly but knowledgeable. He explained how the ceremony should go. Whenever we wanted more options for certain parts of the ceremony, he always sent them right away. He's very organized too. The day of the wedding, he arrived early and even helped organize our procession. He made our ceremony special and all our guests loved him and his personality! read more

Leslie was exactly what we were looking for when it came to an officiant. He was easygoing, responsive, kind, and super helpful. He made sure everything was exactly how we wanted it to be. We specifically asked for a non-religious service, and he honored our request and stuck with the script that we created based on his template. He made the process really easy for us and executed the day perfectly. He even came to our rehearsal and worked with the venue to bring his own microphone and PA. I also got a lot of positive feedback about him from friends and family. I felt that he really went above and beyond with his service. I would highly recommend him. read more

He made our ceremony well organized and everybody got touched. I would like to recommend him to all my friends who haven't got married, and I am sure everybody will like him. :) read more

There aren't enough words to describe the amazing experience we had with Leslie from start to finish. From the beginning, Leslie was beyond helpful in working with us to make sure our ceremony was completely tailored to our specific needs. He worked with us step by step in ensuring our ceremony was completely customized to what we envisioned. He was always available to answer our questions and would get back to us promptly. On our wedding day, he was such a pleasure to have, putting our minds at ease the entire time. Having him stand beside my husband and I truly made the day more memorable. Thank you, Leslie for making our special so perfect! read more

Leslie, Thank you so very much for helping guide Wilda & I with the ceremony the way we wanted it to go and performing the actual ceremony on 4/29/15 at Tarzana Community & Cultural Center. You truly made it very special for both of us with the ideas you presented and suggestions. When it comes to your message you tell everyone that uses your services, "Your Way.....Your Day," it speaks for itself. Wilda & I wish things in life were as easy as using your services but we all know that isn't possible. The only thing we can all agree on is that, like life which is full of bumpy roads and challenges, so too is that of a marriage. Without suggestions, there is only chaos. Thanks again for all that you did for us. We greatly appreciated it read more

This review is long long over due. We had the pleasure of Leslie officiating our wedding in October and he is simply the best. First, he is incredibly nice to work with - he makes it very simple - and in the midst of all the planning, you need simple! He e-mailed us a complete walk through of what to expect and MANY options of what we would like for him to say during the ceremony. We ended up falling in love with the words from different options and asked if he would "customize" his part for us.. of course, he was happy to do so. Since our ceremony was non-religious, he also helped us to come up with options that would help symbolize our union of two families. We ended up adding unity sand into the ceremony. Best of all, we wanted to write our own vows. This part was really hard for us because we were both itching for someone to read them (we usually read each others work but, obviously, in this case we couldn't) - Leslie played a significant part is resting assure our vows were spot on and our tones matched each other. Thank you again for such a memorable and flawless ceremony! read more

What a great day. We got married on March 21, 2015. Leslie was great. Leslie was awesome throughout the process. He met us a couple months ahead of time at our convenience. And he kept us on track with gentle questions about what wording for the ceremony and processes we wanted to observe, etc. I never felt stressed when got his emails. Just gently reminded. He was way too patient with us while we ran around with all our last minute details and ended up putting him off for way too many days. I wish we could go back and make up for that. But still, he was very very patient and super nice throughout the process. He even worked with our day planner to get details we just didn't provide as we ran out of time. The ceremony was perfect. We got exactly what we wanted. The wedding attendees had nothing to the best to say about how nicely the ceremony went. Leslie has a very professional vibe about him. Crisply dressed and smooth and precise. His patriarchal voice and demeanor gives a certain highly official feel to the ceremony. But at the same time, not preachy. Couldn't have asked for a more fitting officiant. We met with 2 other potential officiants before Leslie and we knew shortly after we meet Leslie that he was going to be our officiant if he'd be willing to take us. We are so glad he did. He really goes out of his way to make it your best day possible. read more

Leslie was the perfect fit for our wedding! We felt an instant connection from the get go and knew immediately he was the one to officiate our Jewish/Catholic outdoor wedding. He was super nice and his easy going manner was just what we needed on the big day. We definitely couldn't have chosen a better officiant and highly recommend him to anyone!! read more

Leslie officiated our wedding in August of 2016. During our initial meeting with Leslie he instantly put us at ease and walked us through the various parts of the ceremony. We were looking for a non-religious ceremony and Leslie was more than willing to help us identify the right content for our day. It was easy to work with Leslie and on the actual day of the wedding Leslie was on time, if not early, and did an amazing job! Would highly recommend him! read more

Seriously the best! He was super helpful and very catering to our needs. Very professional, and suggestive in all the right areas. I would and will recommend him to all of my friends and family to be hired as their officiant! Thank you Leslie!!! Your the best!!! Thank you for making our big day shine! read more

Leslie, married my hubbers & I. He was very professional and met us, he wanted to discuss with us, exactly what we wanted to happen, with our vows. He presented us with different examples of what kind of ceremony can happen. Our wedding day, it rained the whole day & we were all a bit frazzled, as the ceremony was 'supposed' to be outside.....it cleared up for 20 minutes, while we all worked frantically to get the ceremony in those 20 minutes and Leslie was wonderful and funny, doing the ceremony!! He had everyone laughing (as well as a couple of mishaps happening), he made light of the mishaps and continued with the ceremony, like it was all planned. So many friends told us later, this is one of the best weddings they have ever been too. I highly recommend Leslie...very professional! read more

Leslie is the best that you can find! I wasn't sure how I wanted my ceremony to go, but I knew I didn't want anything religious, spiritual yes, but nothing over the top. Leslie guided us & gave us some examples, but always stressed how it was all about us and what we wanted. He gave us some readings and encouraged us to look around on our own too. He was awesome! Thank you Leslie!! I couldn't have imagined a better ceremony and I'm so so happy you were the one to lead us into the next chapter of our lives! read more

Booking Leslie was one of the best decisions we made. He was perfect! He was so accessible, attentive, responsive, reliable, and prompt. From our first meeting with him through the actual wedding, Leslie was a joy to work with and share our special day with. On the day of our wedding, Leslie arrived early, was organized and went through the ceremony smoothly. It couldn't have gone any better. Even now weeks after our wedding, Leslie is still proving to be as professional and helpful as always. If you're looking for a great, personable officiant, Leslie is the one. Thank you, Leslie!! read more

Words can not express how wonderful of a job Leslie did for my husband and I! Our wedding was on October 11th and he did everything that we asked of him. We had met with him twice before the wedding and he also came to our rehearsal dinner the night before. He made sure to go everything with us and explain how a ceremony usually goes and what it will consist of. He was so great at the rehearsal dinner, he made sure to go over everything step by step and was sure that everyone included in the ceremony knew what they all needed to do. The way that Leslie spoke was very calm and relaxed. It was as if this is what he does every day of his life! We couldn't have asked for a better officiant and will always remember him as the one to help my husband and I become one! We highly recommend Leslie for any of your wedding needs, he will include anything you would like in your ceremony. Thank you again Leslie! Judd and Nathalie read more

We had a short engagement so planning our wedding was pretty tough. We did not have the luxury of time and did not know any wedding vendors in the area. When it was time to look for our wedding officiant, we were clueless where to find one, so we asked help from the organizer of our venue and she suggested 3 officiants. Upon checking on the website of all 3, I knew right away that Leslie is the perfect pick! I was so eager to share the news with my fiancé (now husband) about Leslie. When we browse through his site and watched his video, we were sold! We sent him a message right away and he was very quick to respond. He set up a date for us to meet before the wedding and he was very accommodating with the day and time that is convenient for us. During our meeting, Leslie was very nice, very down to Earth and we felt so comfortable like we knew him for a long time. We were so excited that we booked him right away and we are so lucky that he is available on our chosen date. He followed up on us and guided us on the wordings for our ceremony to make it the way we wanted it to. On the actual wedding day, some things did not turned out the way we wanted causing a delay with the start of the ceremony. We felt really bad but Leslie was there to calm us and made us really feel that everything is okay and really it was all okay, it was actually perfect! From the start of the ceremony to it's end, I cannot help but cry because everything was perfect, it was all that we have hoped for - short, simple and solemn and full of love. Thank you Leslie for making all of those hopes possible. You are one of the coolest guys yet professional at the same time. We recommend Leslie to all engaged couples out there, he is a gem so don't even think twice! You could not go wrong with Leslie! read more
