He took the time to connect not just with us, but with our vendors as well, making sure everything flowed seamlessly and that our day felt intentional and meaningful. On the wedding day, he brought such incredible energy. He knew exactly how to hype up the crowd while still keeping the ceremony heartfelt and deeply personal. His words were genuine, full of love, and delivered with a warmth that made everyone feel it. You can tell he truly believes in what he does, and it shows in every interaction. What stood out just as much was his presence leading up to the big day. He followed up with us consistently, always checking in and offering support. We actually looked forward to his calls because he was such a ray of sunshine, kind, uplifting, and full of positive energy. His own marriage is a beautiful reflection of the values he shares, which made everything feel even more authentic and meaningful. He is truly a beautiful soul, and anyone would be incredibly lucky to have him officiate their wedding. We are so grateful for him and the role he played in making our day unforgettable.

Pastor Norman and Reverend Carolyn are amazing and lovely people; you can tell that they really put…read morecare into their ceremonies. We were referred to them by some Facebook groups and also did our research on wedding vendor websites and they came highly recommended; they deserve every glowing review they receive. Though we ultimately went with Pastor Norman, I have no doubt Reverend Carolyn would have been great too. They were accessible and accommodating prior to the wedding, answering our many questions about the ceremony structure (we had an interfaith ceremony) and obtaining the wedding license. Pastor Norman hit our ceremony out of the park. Many of our friends and family who attended our wedding complimented him in the days following. We picked him in part due to his extensive experience officiating Disney weddings and he did not disappoint. Our ceremony felt touching, personal, and had just the right hint of Disney magic to boot. The Disney monorail runs through our ceremony site and he incorporated that interruption in such a fun and special way. Thank you, Pastor Norman, for helping make our day so memorable.

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.

How can you go wrong with someone named Leslie?! :-)

We can't say enough about Chris, we just loved him. He is all that you require and expect, of…read morecourse: Courteous, responsive & professional. But he is also all those things you HOPE for: stylish, refined and sophisticated, with a calming voice and flawless delivery. We eloped, planning a simple living room ceremony with just a half dozen guests. This was to be the final event of a three week cruise through the Panama canal. Unexpectedly, we arrived in LA just as the Palisades fire was gaining speed, a very destabilizing event. Everyone involved was understandably stressed, but we kept our wits about us in no small part due to Chris' unflappable commitment. He never wavered, not even for a second, from his task and he made our little elopement an event to remember. He arrived ready to take us through the "paperwork" part, confidently and professionally, then seamlessly switching over to our ceremony in front of the living room fireplace, while fires outside pretty much raged all around us. We were so lucky to have found him and would recommend him wholeheartedly, whether your event be grand or modest, Chris will shine for sure and take the best care of you both! - Amy & Bryce Weber, wed Jan 11, 2025

You could tell that he had a lot of experience and took his role seriously. I loved working with him to edit the wedding script, too! He was the first one on the boat, and I got there way early! I didn't recognize him and was just about to ask the crew to remove him when my bride said, "Did you know that officiant guy is here?" He was very patient with me during this frantic state - always giving me gentle reminders that we needed to sign the marriage license and, of course, pay him! Would highly recommend Chris!

We didn't want to make the same mistake! My husband is Jewish and I was raised catholic so we decided a non denominational wedding with someone who would allow a little of both religions would be perfect. We didn't want the emphasis on religion as we just aren't religious! We did however want some of the traditions, like the breaking of the glass. All the rabbis and priests wouldn't do a "mix wedding" like we wanted, because you aren't supposed to pick and choose what parts of the ceremony you want In religion! Haha we wanted to do what we wanted on our day though, and Steve stood out when he said the day was whatever we wanted and he was happy to mix and match. He is confident and friendly and this comes across in his ceremonies. I had multiple people come up and say how great he was because the crowd was never bored! He even put in some humor when things could have gone wrong. He made us all so comfortable and the experience was more enjoyable than scary. He made the ceremony. Also he is reasonably priced for the skills he has in order to make a wedding flow perfectly. His acting and improv background means he is never thrown off no matter what unexpected things may happen. Don't hesitate to book Steve for your big day :)

We were certainly ready to get married but the extra one on one sessions vastly improved our communication and appreciation for one another. I was brought up Catholic but my husband was not so it was so great to have Fr. Mike as our officiant. He is certainly religious but he has a way of counseling that focuses on the love and the marriage instead of trying to instill religious values in us. He's actually very good at customizing to the wedding to how you want it, whether it's very religious or not religious at all. The ceremony itself was beautiful and he's such a great speaker! I would recommend him and the other officiants at Good Shepard to anybody that I know is getting married.
