Yenmin was absolutely AMAZING! I did not expect to cry at all and the tears were FLOWINGGGGGG. She gave an option to do the ceremony in Spanish for my family and we did not expect that. Very professional and accommodating staff! The second Yenmin began to give the ceremony, I felt as if me and my husband were alone in the room getting ready to step into the next phase of our life. This experience was everything I could have imagined. Thank you so much!!!!

Very professional and fast! We wanted our wedding to be on our anniversary (Veterans day). They can come to you, or you can go to them. Now, we got married during the pandemic so it was very limited to what they can actually offer at their location. We brought in tripods to set up our phones to do a virtual wedding. I had Facebook live and my husband had zoom on his. This allowed all of our friends and family to attend from near and far. We got there at 1030am to set up and sign the documents. Then the ceremony started at 11am and finished at 11:11am! It did not take us 1 hour to get married, took us longer to set up than it did for the whole process lol. The BEST part is they do EVERYTHING that deals with paperwork for you! During covid, that meant everything because I didnt have to worry about going to file at the county, or deal with people. I know my sister-in-law got married at the same place and so did another colleague from work after we did.

Every little detail was handled with such care and thoughtfulness--it truly felt like they were just as excited about our big day as we were.

The team took care of everything so seamlessly, allowing us to focus entirely on each other and the moment. If you're considering eloping, this is the place. The service is not just amazing--it's unforgettable. We will be talking about this experience for the rest of our lives.

It was only me, my mom, my baby, and husband. I uploaded photos... I chose not to purchase extras or florals and just look at my backdrop!! . I chose the bohemian look and it was such a dream. Marni and Shaunte were ABSOLUTELY WONDERFUL... So helpful, kind, and sweet! The photographer, Michael, what an amazing personality and just person all around! He was making us laugh and smile the entire time.. he is such a natural with his camera.. he made us feel so good and the shots he got were fantastic.. The venue is so adorable and the ambiance and vibe is GORGEOUS! I'm telling you.. If I had all the money in the world, I'd still choose to elope at Elope Long Beach... I'm beyond happy I found them.

In 2011 we used the services of Pastor Larry to have a nondenominational service for our father. He listened carefully to the details of our father's life story and accomplishments and gracefully added appropriate favorite sayings and anecdotes we chose and some he offered to us to choose. He guided the service and cues for music, family speeches and the releasing of the doves we wanted. Everything he said was thoroughly thought through and all were filled with our father's warm spirit. Again in 2014, we searched for several months to find only Larry to officiate for our mother's service as his contacts had changed. He took the time and listened well again to her journey and guided us through another heartwarming and personal celebration, gracing our mother with a deserving and lovely service that all denominations could relate to. Because of her long years with Alzheimers in the last years of her life, it was important to us that our mothers' accomplishments in the special lifetime she had lived were brought out and remembered well. The attendees at each of our parents memorials were extremely complimentary and touched with many remarks to my brother, sister and I on how they were very impressed that the services could not have portrayed their lives and journeys any better and they felt very uplifted instead of saddend at the end of our loved ones journeys, as did all of our family.

During the ceremony, he is eloquent, entertaining, and knowledgeable! We love that he gave us homework, our ceremony felt personal as he added details with our history as a couple.

On the wedding day, he recalled how we met and our proposal, beautifully painting the story of how our love began and creating a truly loving atmosphere throughout the ceremony. We really enjoyed working with him--he encouraged us to stay present, reminded us that our marriage is the true priority, and helped keep us grounded. We were honored to have him marry us, and we appreciated that he even mailed in our marriage license afterward. It also meant a lot to have a Filipino officiant, since I'm Filipino, and we wanted to represent that part of my culture. He did that with grace and it was incredibly meaningful to us.

There's a ton more, but we're trying to be "succinct" here. =) I half joke that Elizabeth was not only our officiant but also my therapist in the time leading up to our wedding since I was a ball of anxiety planning everything. Elizabeth was EVER so patient and responsive with my flurry of nonstop emails and questions, as well as providing constant reassurance which I know was far beyond her job description. Elizabeth really goes above and beyond, not only providing a huge variety of personalized scripts for your wedding (if you so choose), professionalism of making the legal process very easy, but she also takes the time out of her personal life to get to know you as an individual and as a couple, so that if you choose, you do not feel like you are getting married by a stranger, but rather an old family friend. Thank you so much for being THE best officiant, friend, and guidance for us in one of the more stressful times! P.S. This raving review comes from a couple that self-describes themselves to be pretty high maintenance and picky! =)

Other than marrying Mr. Q, Elizabeth Oakes may just be the favorite part of my wedding. She was the…read moreabsolute perfect officiant for us. Backing it up a bit, I used to work in the wedding industry and had seen my fair share of wedding officiants, but Elizabeth always stood out as not only being a great, charismatic speaker - but she's so genuine. Surprisingly when my day came though, we looked elsewhere for officiants first. I know, I know - stupid, right? Well, we were getting married in Palm Springs and thought we should try to hire someone local - and yeesh, there were some horror stories there. (Almost literally with one lady who I swear could have doubled for either Fire Marshall Bill or The Cryptkeeper - but smothered in perfume.) Then we thought about the possibility of having someone we know do it, but that thought passed quickly. Having seen a bajillion weddings, it doesn't always go according to plan having a pal do it. So, I thought, even though the wedding is in Palm Springs, I'm gonna email Elizabeth. I'm soooo glad I did. We didn't have many requirements for our ceremony, and while we didn't want it to be 45 minutes long, we also didn't want it to be 5 minutes long. (I think we ended up at a good 15 or so.) We told her we didn't want any talk of God, but also nothing too hippie dippy either. She always responded immediately to emails and gave us lots of ideas for not only readings, but special touches and the order of the whole thing. She even suggested this thing where the rings were passed through the bridal party to be sorta "blessed" with well wishes - we did it and, while it may sound cheesy writing it here - it definitely brought a tear to my eye. Oh! I didn't even mention all the other stuff - like how she filed all the paperwork for us, and how she had our vows and readings all printed up on very nice paper (vellum overlay even!), and even gave us a nice CD as a wedding gift. I was thoroughly impressed. We just loved how Elizabeth "got" us, and was super helpful in making our ceremony so special to us.
