Officiants
This wedding officiant package is the simple, private option for couples who want to keep things minimal, whether you are eloping, planning something small, or just taking care of the legal side of getting married. A professional officiant meets you, performs a short ceremony or a signing appointment, and completes and files your marriage license so everything is properly handled. It is simple, but still meaningful, and it is handled with the same care this team brings to its largest weddings.
Included With This Package
- A short ceremony or a signing appointment with a professional officiant
- Marriage license completion and filing with the appropriate government office
- Meeting at the officiant's office or at a mutually convenient location
- Direct conversation with your officiant before you sign a contract
- Online contract signing and payment through the paperless booking system
How It Works
You obtain your marriage license from the county, and the team takes care of the rest. After a brief planning consultation, in person, by video chat, or by telephone, you meet your officiant at their office or at a location that is convenient for both of you. The officiant performs a short ceremony or completes a signing appointment, then returns the signed license to the appropriate government office on your behalf. For couples wondering about wedding officiant cost, this is the most streamlined tier the team offers, with the price published up front and the contract and payment handled online.
Who This Package Is For
Couples planning an intimate elopement ceremony, partners who already celebrated and now need the legal side completed, couples searching for a wedding officiant near me who want a quick and private appointment, and anyone choosing an officiant for weddings where the moment matters more than the production. If you later decide you want a fuller experience, the team also performs complete traditional and custom ceremonies, and you can expand your booking after a conversation with your officiant.
About the Team
The officiants behind this service are experienced, professional non-denominational ministers and secular celebrants from a woman-owned agency that has been marrying couples in San Francisco and across the region for over a decade. Couples rate the team a perfect five stars across more than two hundred published reviews, and the agency holds award recognition from couples every year from 2011 through 2019 along with hall of fame standing on a national wedding platform. Even for a brief signing appointment, you speak directly with your ceremony officiant before you ever sign a contract, so you know exactly who will be standing with you.
Ceremony Styles
Short ceremonies can be religious or non-religious, exactly as you prefer. The team welcomes every couple and every background, including civil unions and commitment ceremonies, and supports couples from Christian, Jewish, Buddhist, Hindu, Muslim, Sikh, Baha'i, Pagan, Wiccan, Unitarian, Spiritual, Interfaith, and fully secular traditions. A unity ritual is not part of this minimal tier, and there is no rehearsal involved, which is exactly why many eloping couples choose it.
Service Area and Travel
The team is willing to travel for appointments throughout San Francisco, Oakland, and the greater Bay Area, including Alameda County, Contra Costa County, Marin County, Napa County, San Mateo County, Santa Clara County, Solano County, and Sonoma. An additional fee may be required based on the location, with quoted prices assuming less than a thirty minute drive from your officiant's location.
Booking This Package
Share your preferred date and meeting location through the booking form on this listing. You will be matched with an officiant from the team, speak with them directly, and complete the contract and payment online. Appointments are scheduled around your county license timeline, so reaching out as soon as you have your license in hand keeps everything on schedule, and weekday appointments are usually the easiest to arrange on short notice.
