About the officiant
The officiant is a reiki master and spiritualist with more than two decades of experience helping people find their spiritual connection, and has been ordained through the Universal Life Church for nearly two decades. Ceremonies are described as spiritual yet non-religious, so they welcome partners of any background who want meaning without a set religious format.
Ceremony types
- Weddings
- Elopements
- Vow renewals
- Commitment ceremonies
Your custom ceremony
Every script is written for you, built around your beliefs, your preferences and any vows you write yourselves. The officiant meditates for guidance on the wording, so the ceremony reflects your story rather than a template. Every element can be customized, from the length of the readings to how your guests take part in the ceremony.
The heart blessing
During the ceremony, the officiant leads an energetic heart blessing. At an intimate wedding, all guests can take part. At a larger wedding, the blessing may involve only the wedding party or a small group of the people closest to you. It gives the ceremony a shared, personal moment that guests often remember.
Want more support before the ceremony
The officiant also offers a deluxe version of this package for $555. It adds hand delivery of your signed license to Monterey County, a facilitated meditation for both partners, a relaxing reiki healing for the bride before the wedding and a natural body care gift set. It suits hosts who want a calmer, more grounded lead-up to the ceremony.
Optional add-ons
- An 80-minute pre-wedding massage, $150
- Two 60-minute pre-wedding massages for both partners, $225
Common questions
Who files the marriage license?
The officiant handles the license after the ceremony. In the standard package, the signed license is mailed to Monterey County, and in the deluxe package it is delivered by hand. Bring your license, issued in advance by the county, to the ceremony, and confirm with the officiant who will collect the signatures on the day.
Is the ceremony religious?
No. Ceremonies are described as spiritual yet non-religious. That makes them a good fit for partners from different faiths or no faith, and for families who want warmth and meaning without a formal religious service. You decide how much spiritual language is included, and the officiant writes the script around your wishes.
Does it work for small and large weddings?
Yes. The heart blessing adapts to the size of your event: at an intimate wedding all guests can take part, and at a larger wedding it may involve only the wedding party or a small group of close people. The package price stays the same regardless of how many guests you invite.
Plan your ceremony
The license is filed in Monterey County, which makes this package a natural fit for ceremonies on the Monterey Peninsula. The officiant is five-star rated by past clients. Send your date, location, guest count and the kind of ceremony you have in mind through the platform, and the officiant will confirm availability and timing in your quote.
