This wedding officiant package starts at $450 per ceremony and is led by a non-denominational minister licensed in California and based in Murrieta. The officiant serves hosts of all backgrounds and faiths across the Inland Empire, writing a custom script for each ceremony that reflects your beliefs and traditions in a respectful yet fun way.
Planning begins months before the wedding. The officiant meets with you several times to talk through your story, vision and timeline, then drafts a unique ceremony script. Past hosts have described help with writing their own vows as part of this process, so the words spoken on the day feel personal rather than borrowed from a template.

Traditions Served
The officiant lists experience with a wide range of traditions, including Catholic, Jewish, Buddhist, Taoist, Quaker, Unitarian, Episcopalian, Lutheran, Methodist, Presbyterian, Baptist, Anglican, Evangelical, Orthodox Christian, earth-based and agnostic families, as well as hosts with no denomination. Ceremonies are performed in English, and elements from different backgrounds can be blended for interfaith weddings.
Ceremony Length and Locations
Ceremonies usually run less than 30 minutes, which keeps the focus on the vows and leaves guests ready for the reception. A longer ceremony can be arranged on request if you want readings, rituals or family participation. The officiant performs ceremonies at many kinds of settings, including beaches, mountain foothills and hotels.
What to Expect
- Several planning meetings before the wedding
- A custom ceremony script written for you
- Support with personal vows
- Ceremony on your wedding day, usually under 30 minutes
- Optional rehearsal, quoted at $150 extra
A ceremony rehearsal is available for an additional $150 and is not included in the $450 starting price. A rehearsal helps the wedding party, parents and readers learn their places and cues, which keeps processional timing smooth on the day. Confirm the rehearsal date and location when you book so it fits your schedule.
Planning Your Ceremony
Start conversations with your officiant a few months before the wedding so there is time for planning meetings and script drafts. Think about the tone you want, whether light and personal or more traditional, and any readings, rituals or family members you would like to include. These choices shape the script and the ceremony's length.
Check that your marriage license is handled on time and bring it to the ceremony, since the officiant signs and returns it after the wedding. Share your venue address, ceremony start time and processional order. If you plan to write your own vows, set a draft deadline a few weeks ahead so there is time to review them.
Questions to Ask Before You Book
- How many planning meetings are included?
- Can family traditions be blended into one ceremony?
- Is a rehearsal recommended for your wedding party?
- How long should your ceremony run?
- When will you receive the script draft?
On the wedding day, arrive with your rings, license and any readings in hand, and confirm who will hold each item during the ceremony. A clear processional order and a quick check of microphone needs with your venue or DJ help everything run on time. Your officiant can guide the order of events once the script is final.
