The Out Officiant

  • Offers 7 ceremony types
  • Starts at $187
  • Serves San Francisco, CA

Hola, I’m Ernesto (he/him/él), The Out Officiant! Ordained by the ULC, I began officiating in 2019 and bring heart, humor, and authenticity to every ceremony. As a gay Latino who’s been through wedding planning myself, I know how vital it is to feel seen and supported. I specialize in LGBTQ+, bilingual, and multicultural weddings—always inclusive, personal, and stress-free. Based in El Cerrito, my fee varies by distance. Let’s create a ceremony that celebrates your love story!

Ernesto is the best officiant! He met with us prior to see what we would like incorporated into the ceremony, he showed up last minute to our rehearsal after we forgot to tell him about it, and overall incorporated his humor/personality to make our ceremony truly special! Highly recommend him!

L + A Union Ceremonies 

5.0

  • Offers 10 ceremony types
  • Starts at $300
  • Serves San Francisco, CA

Hi, I'm Lilian Argueta—a proud Guatemalan American, native Angelina, and the heart behind L+A Union Ceremonies. I’ve always believed in the power of human connection and the importance of honoring it with authenticity, care, and soul. I’ve been a certified officiant since 2017, and my path to this work has been anything but traditional—in the best way. L+A stands for Luz y Amor—light and love in Spanish. It’s more than a name; it’s a belief system. I believe we are all energy, all light…and when two people come together in love, something truly magical happens. That magic deserves to be witnessed and celebrated with intention & creativity.

I am thrilled to highly recommend the exceptional wedding officiant, Lilian Argueta, who made my daughter's destination wedding in Cancun in April 2024 an unforgettable and magical experience. From the moment we engaged her services, it was clear that she was dedicated to creating a personalized and meaningful ceremony that truly reflected the love story of the bride and groom. Her thorough preparation was evident in the pre-event meetings where she took the time to get to know the couple, understand their relationship, and gather details that would make the ceremony truly special. Her attention to detail and genuine interest in their story shone through in every aspect of the ceremony. During the ceremony, her excellent presentation skills, heartfelt words, and warm demeanor captivated everyone present, perfectly capturing the love and magic between the bride and groom. The way she tailored the ceremony to include a lightning round of chess at the end of the vows, symbolizing how the couple met, was a brilliant and iconic touch that truly made the ceremony unique and personalized. I cannot recommend her enough for any couple looking for a wedding officiant who goes above and beyond to create a ceremony that is heartfelt, meaningful, and memorable. Her professionalism, creativity, and genuine care for her clients make her an outstanding choice for any couple looking to start their journey together in a truly special way.

I Do X Two 

5.0

  • Offers 9 ceremony types
  • Starts at $400
  • Serves San Francisco, CA

I love working with couples to write a ceremony that is authentic to their love story and with all the details they envision. I've officiated estate-sized wine country weddings and those at the Ritz; to ceremonies in art galleries and country clubs, to shoreline and backyard elopements, and vow renewals at a family picnic or a restaurant--each one just as special as the other.

I just had my wedding on July 5th and used I Do X Two’s services, with Saundra as our officiant. From the beginning, she took extensive time and care to craft a personalized ceremony that reflected both me and my now-husband perfectly. Saundra met with us beforehand to hear our love story and get to know us both individually and as a couple. She made sure our voices were heard and that our wishes for the ceremony were thoughtfully incorporated. I consider myself spiritual but not religious, while my husband was raised in a religious family and has his own way of practicing it. Saundra reassured us that despite our differences, she would be able to blend both of our beliefs into a ceremony that honored us equally—and she absolutely delivered. My husband also shared some of his concerns with Saundra, including potential areas of conflict, and she responded with understanding and grace, sharing how she’s helped other couples navigate similar situations. When the big day arrived, Saundra was incredible. She led the ceremony with such beauty, calm, and confidence—it flowed seamlessly. She was organized, warm, and extremely helpful throughout the entire process. She even offered to print our vows on the most gorgeous cardstock and supported us with the ceremony’s flow to ensure everything went perfectly. After the ceremony, Saundra took care of our marriage license, ensuring everything was completed and submitted properly. Our guests and both of our families couldn’t stop raving about how beautiful the ceremony was and how wonderful Saundra made it feel. All this to say: choose I Do X Two. You’ll have a stunning ceremony, guests who are moved and impressed, and hearts that are full! Thank you so much Saundra!

I collaborate with the wedding couple to design and write a deeply personal custom wedding script and then coach their designated officiant to deliver it with ease and joy. After officiating over 600 ceremonies, I am now collaborating with couples to design and write their wedding ceremony and then coaching a friend or family member to deliver it with ease and joy. Over half the weddings in the United States are now performed by family or friends because it creates tremendous warmth and intimacy in the ceremony. However, asking someone to write and officiate a complete wedding ceremony can be overwhelming if they have never done it before.

Hi, I’m Yvonne — Lead Officiant - Founder, and your personal hype woman for one of the biggest moments of your life. I am Texas based and I’ve married over 400 couples, and no two love stories have ever been the same. I started officiating as a tribute to my sister, who passed away unexpectedly in 2023. She loved us all deeply and wholeheartedly, and celebrating life’s big moments without her was the hardest part of losing her. Helping couples honor their journey and love story has been my way of healing — one beautiful, heartfelt ceremony at a time. Whether your vows are traditional, bilingual, or totally outside the box, I’m here for it. ♥

The ceremony was spectacular. She reached out to us to talk beforehand, and everything she said was truly beautiful. We had a reference from someone else, and we can confidently and wholeheartedly recommend her services. It’s clear that she loves what she does.

Making Love Feel Luxe, One Vow at a Time. I’m Tiara—your go-to officiant for soulful, seamless ceremonies rooted in your story, not stiff scripts. At Royal Treatment With Tiara, I guide modern couples from inquiry to “I do” with joy, intention, and zero cookie-cutter vibes. Want to include cultural traditions, family, faith—or need help writing vows? I’ve got you.

This review is long overdue! My husband and I had the wonderful Tiara officiate our wedding 04/20/2023, and she helped make our experience so enjoyable! Not only was she professional, but also compassionate, personable, and helped us with our vows when we were both too overwhelmed to speak. She gave our guests a beautiful explanation of our love for each other, and included a “couple therapy-esque” meeting to get to know us before the wedding, and ended in me having happy tears expressing my love towards my husband during such a stressful time. She gets a 10 out of 10 from us! Make sure you book her for your upcoming wedding!
