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!

She made the entire process so easy, even helped us with our vows and submitted the marriage paperwork on our behalf. We were so thankful because there was so much to coordinate with the rest of the wedding, having Dyanna as our officiant made that part one thing we did not have to worry about! We highly recommend Dyanna as an officiant and would give her 10 stars if we could! Thank you, Dyanna!

Her speech was absolutely personalized and perfect for the two of us. We had met with other officiants who made the ceremony seem very cookie cutter. But during our meeting with Roya, she made sure to include elements that we wanted, how we wanted it. Perfectly tailored to us. My husband is Iranian and he didn't have as good of an eye for details of the Persian elements of the ceremony. Roya helped immensely here to help fill in the gaps. She provided us feedback and cues throughout the ceremony to help make it flow so smoothly. She is truly such a professional. Would 100% recommend!!

But because my husband is Persian and I'm American, we realized shortly before the wedding that we wanted someone experienced in both Persian and Western ceremonies who could thoughtfully blend the two traditions together. Despite the very short timeline, Roya made time to meet with us right away and created a ceremony that felt deeply personal, meaningful, and completely "us." She was kind, attentive, and incredibly thoughtful throughout the entire process, giving us the flexibility to customize every detail while also guiding us with her expertise. Roya beautifully incorporated the Persian traditions that were important to us while still creating a ceremony that resonated with all of our guests, Persian and non-Persian alike. So many people told us afterward how special, emotional, and unique the ceremony felt. We still keep thinking back to our ceremony and genuinely feel it was a dream come true. We couldn't recommend Roya more highly.

We are so glad we had Irene officiate our wedding!…read more She was so knowledgeable about the process and helped us craft the perfect, nondenominational ceremony that highlighted our love story. She was easy to work with and provided us clear deadlines for when we needed to give her specific info, which really helped us manage our time and gave us structure. What I loved most of all was that I had full faith Irene had it under control, and for our wedding day, we really wanted to reduce our stress and have fun with it. Irene nailed the assignment! Several of our guests told us after the wedding how much they loved the ceremony. We have Irene to thank for it turning out just as magical as we had imagined!

For us, we wanted structure, and Irene presented us with lots of options. I want to highlight her eloquence and her natural curiosity. She asked all the right questions and weaved together an introduction that moved us, and turned a magical moment into something divine. I would recommend her regardless of the particular needs of your ceremony, because I think she has the experience and wisdom to adapt to your needs.

We were very fortune and we know that we made the right choice to have Maggie officiate us. I felt…read moreas if Maggie poured a lot of loyalty into her work which shows. She is professional and organized; before our first meeting with her, she had us do "homework." We filled out paperwork pertaining to our personal lives, how we met, beliefs and family traditions. While we met with her to go over the wedding it was a warming and informative experience. She worked with our ideas and encouraged creativity, while also providing material to work from. Marriage is a sacred ceremony and it is critical to have an officiant with a blessed and warm hand. Which Maggie is that; Maggie made our ceremony customized in a loving, deep rooted, holistic way. She is in a healthy and loving marriage herself which we feel is essential because this is her work; "Practice what you preach."

From the first call with Rvnd. Mary-Rose I knew she was a perfect match for us…read more As an interfaith couple (I am a Catholic and my husband is Muslim), I was very worried about our ceremony. I wanted something that would be respectful of both religions and customized to our wishes. Rvnd. Mary-Rose went above and beyond. We told her our love story and she crafted it into an amazing story that left everyone in the audience in awe. Her words were captivating, loving, sincere, and even humorous. We were beyond fortunate to have found her for our ceremony. In addition, she is extremely organized, responsive, and detail oriented. She offered to manage the rehearsal which was essential. She thinks of everything - including the music. As a busy couple with crazy work hours, she managed to ensure we had enough time to review everything. Since my husband and I also lived on opposite coasts (SF and Washington DC), she even made it a priority to meet with us when he was in town. She was always available as well through Skype. It was such a pleasure to work with her and I highly recommend her service. Please, do not look any further- she is perfect.

We figured we'd just repeat a few words for the sake of a ceremony and move on... BUT THEN! We found Carol - the sweetest, caring reverend who added so many ornate intricate details to the ceremony and made it extra special for all guests. ** THE LEAD UP ** Carol spent time getting to know us personally, something not all officiants do. She also gave us homework that made us feel vulnerable with each other, and that made us feel closer together. I always thought couples counseling was for people who had issues, but it turns out you can feel closer together even when you didn't think it was possible! ** THE CEREMONY ** Carol was able to suggest things like a candle lighting, and chiming of a spiritual bowl in the beginning, but also added some lighthearted funny jokes within her speech. She brought our families closer together during the ceremony, and a found a way to get everyone involved when I thought originally it would just be my husband and I going down the aisle. Everyone was so touched by the ceremony, they mentioned this was certainly the highlight of the night -- many friends who have hearts of stone were moved and even teared up. :) Glad we were able to touch the hearts of all our friends and family with the help of Carol. TLDR: Carol is truly amazing, brings spiritual elements and families closer together when you didn't think you could be any closer. I cannot wait to meet up with Carol again.

Carol was supportive, insightful and kind through every step of the way. We weren't afraid to say our vows to each other in front of our friends and family because she helped us to feel so confident in the words we were saying to on another. We fully trusted Carol, her help and her ability to guide the ceremony. We highly recommend meeting with Carol. Without her we wouldn't have been pushed to write the vows we needed to for one another. We may not have taken the time to reflect so deeply and in depth on our relationship and that would not have produced such a genuine exchange between us and our friends and families through the ceremony. We had not felt so much happiness, love and cheer in such a long time. Thank you Carol for making our ceremony a time in which we finally got to breath and focus on each other. In the end that is what the whole thing was about... Our love and choice to be each others partners, the joining of our worlds and the presentation of that love to those we hold dear. Thank you for helping us to honor that truly.
