Wedding Officiant
"Creating Unforgettable Moments: Your Personalized Wedding Officiant Services."
Let’s get you married!
Hi, I’m Elizabeth!
I’m a licensed ordained minister that offers religious and non-religious elopements & ceremonies in Monterey County, CA.
AKA: your fun, creative, traditional or nontraditional officiant, an unofficial wedding hype-girl, forever friend, travel agent, food recommender, makeshift wedding planner, chaos coordinator, wannabe comedian, and anything you need on your big day.
Let's be real: I'm here to make sure I am of service, and to me that is not just showing up and performing your wedding ceremony. It's a lifelong connection.
The ceremony is the only scheduled time in a wedding day that is truly all eyes and ears on the couple and their love. It's a moment of mindfulness for everyone to press "PAUSE", take a breath, feel the love, and just be present. I am a firm believer that there's truly no one "right way" to perform a wedding ceremony, as every couple is different. I will support any and all traditional ceremony elements based off preference, culture, and identity, but welcomes all couples with a rebellious spirit- anyone who wants to think outside the box to create a unique experience.
For Example...
Do you want to dance your way down the aisle? I love it! Do you want to lip-sync your way down the aisle? I will encourage it. Do you want to symbolize your love in a unique way during your ceremony? I love it. Anything that feels like you- I’m here to support.
Whether you're eloping by yourselves in beautiful Monterey or having hundreds of wedding guests witness you say, "I do", I am committed to ensuring that everyone has an unforgettable, fun and easygoing ceremony experience. The possibilities are unlimited, and no matter what, your ceremony should be exactly what you want it to be! It is about the two of you!
