About Monterey Bay Wedding Officiants

Monterey Bay Wedding Officiants

Lead Officiant

Since 2009, I have officiated nearly three thousand weddings and have enjoyed every minute of it. This is your special day, and my job is to write a beautiful ceremony that you, and your guests, will remember and enjoy. Over the past 15 years, I have officiated weddings from Santa Cruz to Big Sur, from Monterey to Pacific Grove and everywhere in between. Every wedding is special, and I always feel so grateful to be a part of a couple's special day.

What makes me different from other officiants? • 16 years of experience • 15 years of experience planning small weddings (I always love to help!) • Dale Carnegie graduate for public speaking • 32 years living on the Monterey Peninsula (I know almost every local vendor and venue) • My wife is a local wedding photographer (she taught me long ago what I should and shouldn't do as an officiant when it comes to photos)

In three words: Creative, Organized, Supportive

Monterey Bay Wedding Officiants were an incredible choice for our wedding ceremony. From the start, they were incredibly responsive, providing in-depth and thorough communication to understand exactly what we were looking for. Brian, our officiant, truly took the time to get to know us as a couple, and crafted a creative and unique ceremony that felt perfectly tailored to our relationship. Thanks to Brian's thoughtful approach, our ceremony was incredible (the perfect mix of romantic and sincere with some great touches of humor) and we feel so lucky to have had him be a part of our special day. Monterey Bay Wedding Officiants provided incredible value, and we would highly recommend them to any couple looking for an officiant who will make your ceremony truly personal and memorable.
