She explained everything that needed to be done and took care of all the paperwork. She checked in as we got closer and we text back and forth working out what I wanted her to say and how we wanted it to go. This is great as its a stressful time and you don't need one more thing to worry about. She was a bit more than some of the others, but well worth the extra few bucks as you get what you pay for.

Originally he was over our budget but our gut told us we wanted him to marry us and when we met him we knew he had to be our minister. Father Jerry married us on 11/14/2020 in our backyard home. Our families both loved him and were very pleased with how our wedding ceremony went. Father Jerry accommodated our families different faiths and religious views with respect and confidence.

I just happened to find out that Rich Tobin had a Yelp page and decided that I just had to leave a…read morereview. Rich married my husband and I VERY LAST MINUTE at Bacara on the beach back in 2004. We were so lucky to find him and were thrilled that he was able to perform a nondenominational ceremony which is exactly what we wanted. We loved and appreciated Rich so much because he was so easy to work with. Super patient and able to answer all our questions. Plus, he was able to grab us a marriage license in such a short amount of time. Not that he can still perform that magical miracle nowadays but back then he made it happen. We had an actual wedding scheduled with family and guests a few months after Rich married us but my husband being the impatient person he is decided we just HAD to get eloped and get married there and then by ourselves on that beach. It was really the best decision ever. I really highly recommend for this for all couples. Get married on your own somewhere and have the wedding party later because that special moment will your own forever. And you will remember it well instead of having that stress of dealing with keeping others happy at your party. Anyway, back to Rich. He has wonderful energy and light making him the best officiant to have marry you. I can't recommend him enough. And for the record, my husband and I are still married and in love as we were way back in 2004 and we now have 3 children with one of them going off to college in a month. True love exists! Let Rich make it happen for you! Wherever you are, Rich. Thank you. We will never forget you.

She has such good energy about her, like reconnecting with a loving auntie we hadn't seen in a while. She contributed to our excitement in a genuine way and also helped us feel at ease.

Her ability to capture "us" in writing was brilliant. She was able to capture both our playfulness and our tender side, it was exactly what we wanted in our ceremony and she was exactly what we were looking for in an officiant. Nanette is a lovely human with such a gift. It was so special to have her as our officiant, and now friend! Thank you Nanette, a million times over! We couldn't have asked for a better officiant and are blessed that you were a part of our wedding in such a magical way.

We truly can't imagine it without her…read more The rehearsal was perfectly emotional and sweet, and it was so great having her there to orchestrate. Our families were also blessed by her presence at our rehearsal dinner. They have talked about their conversations with her multiple times! It was so special. Multiple of our guests couldn't believe that we'd just met Miriam within the year, which speaks so perfectly to how well she listened and understood us. I don't remember many ceremonies of weddings I've attended, and I've had conversations with guests who remembered specific things she said (and how they cried!). Not a dry eye, it was so beautiful. It was inclusive of everyone who couldn't be there, while at the same time celebrating us and everyone who could be there with us. The perfect balance! She made our wedding and the start of our marriage so meaningful. We truly cannot thank her enough for coaching us into the start of our marriage!
