Where do I start- I didn't expect such a beautiful experience from a 1 Hour Marriage chapel…read more(nothing to do with the chapel business it just seemed like a quick come and go vibe but it was nothing like that)! 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!!!!

My review is extremely super late! Like 5-6 years late. But I wanted a fast almost like "Vegas…read morewedding chapel" style. I came across this place! Highly recommended! 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.

My husband and I were originally going to get married in a Catholic Church, however it seemed that…read morethere were timing conflicts with our wedding start time and distance. Deep down inside, I wanted to get married at our venue because it was so beautiful, but we still wanted the Catholic ceremony. I came across the American Catholic Church from my cousin and I am so happy I did! We worked with Father Brian and Deacon Gary. They were both great to work with! The counseling class was eye opening and informative and gamey husband and I some great talking points on stuff we needed to work on, or how each of us handles certain situations. Father Brian married us on our wedding day. We received so many compliments on how beautiful the ceremony was and how great of a job Father Brian did. Instead of a Unity Candle, we had a Rope tying sign. Father Brian tied in the Celtic rope tying tradition since my husband is Irish. My husband finished his vows late the night before. He emailed them over to Father Brian, and he was still able to approve his vows before our ceremony. I hope that for Catholic couples who want a Catholic ceremony, but want to be married outside of the church, that they truly consider going though Good Shepherd Church. I highly recommend them!

Word can't express how grateful and thankful I am for Good Shepherd Church. I found the church…read morebecause I wanted to be able to have a catholic wedding ceremony because I am catholic but my then fiancé isn't. In addition, I was married before so it was impossible to find a priest to marry us. I was about to give up on my dream before finding the church (the power of internet). We worked mostly with Deacon Gary and Father Jack and they were great. We enjoyed every bit of the process from the initial meeting, counseling class and the planning the ceremony timeline. Deacon Gary made sure everything was done to satisfy both of our families and on the day of the wedding he worked with our coordinator and DJ to make sure everything was smoothly. Deacon Gary officiated the ceremony beautifully. Everything went off perfectly. A lot of our guests complimented on the ceremony. I hope that for future couples who are in my situation to consider Good Shepherd Church.

As my husband and I drove back to our Airbnb after the ceremony, photos, and dinner, I kept saying, "This day was absolutely perfect.

My son was married in March in Joshua Tree. It was agreed to meet at the dirt lot before entering…read morethe National Park at 12:00. The wedding party was present with our dresses and suits until 12:47 when the photographer came to get us to take us to Hidden Valley picnic area where the rest of the wedding party had been waiting since 12 also. The wedding was supposed to start at 1. We never saw the officiant at the dirt lot or in Joshua tree until 2:15. I haven't a clue where she was but she had the nerve to charge my son and wife an extra fee because "they" were late. We waited in the heat for over 2 hours. My 86 yr old mother passed out due to the heat. Fast forward to the license. Marie said she had to send it in....well she sent it in with a tear in the corner which was taped. The license then got rejected. My son had to go to the hall of records to get another copy then make an appt with Marie to get the new copy signed. She wouldn't make an appt until May 2- a month after the wedding. Once my son and daughter-in-law met with her, she was rude, unfriendly and never apologized for the inconvenience. I felt she was unprofessional throughout the whole experience. I'm sure she will have some excuse for charging us a late fee but as god is my witness, we were where we were supposed to be and at the venue and no one saw her until 2:15- 1.25 hours after the wedding was supposed to start.

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. Wouldn't change a single thing.
