It was genuinely impressive. Julia brought the perfect blend of warmth, presence, and professionalism to our ceremony.

L + A Union Ceremonies

Hawthorne, CA
  • Offers 10 ceremony types

  • Serves California

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.

Ready to create an unforgettable ceremony for the most important day of your life? I’d be honored to help you with that. As an ordained minister, wedding planner, and copywriter, I offer a unique combination of skills to help me create the perfect custom wedding ceremony—tailor-made for you. I use my interpersonal nature to get to know you as a couple, your love story, and your important must-haves—and my way with words to craft a heartfelt and memorable ceremony that uniquely captures and conveys your essence in front of all your nearest and dearest.

Ingrid is not only an amazing wedding coordinator, but she is also an amazing wedding officiant. She took our love story and crazy ceremony ideas (such as taking a shot with us along with our guests before we sealed the deal or taping our ring box underneath one of the chairs for a surprise ring bearer) and created the ceremony of our dreams. To hear from multiple guests that it was the best ceremony they attended was the best compliment we could receive because the ceremony is the most important part of a wedding. It was my favorite part of my wedding. Then she can amazingly switch gears from officiant to wedding coordinator and rock that too. She can do it all (literally). I always have other couples tell us that their wedding day goes by very fast and they didn’t really get to enjoy all the little things. However, my husband and I felt like our special day did not go by so fast and we most definitely got to enjoy the little things mainly because Ingrid took care of everything behind the scenes that no one sees. I am very sad I won’t get to work with her anymore unless I get married again lol, but I would recommend her to anyone I know and hopefully get to see her in action again.

Born in Australia, lived in Scotland, I've now been in the US for 10 years, I presided over my first wedding in 2016. Being asked by two of my oldest friends changed my life forever. But I was crazy nervous. That first ceremony elicited something inside of me I never expected. I LOVED, love! I had a feeling of pride and community I'd never experienced before. More and more friends asked me to officiate their weddings over the years until I finally said "frick it, maybe this is my thing." Becoming an officiant has been one of the most rewarding things I've done, experiencing your marriage ceremony with you is now something I look forward to.

Thank you so much Sam! Sam blended a perfect script together for our ceremony by just asking a few questions. An amazing story of love came of it, and we couldn’t have asked for a better officiant to help share it with our friends and family. Sam made it comfortable and fun throughout the process, starting from the one on one video pre interview, to writing the script for the ceremony and sharing it with us, to the day of the ceremony where it was executed superbly. Thanks Sam, truly appreciate your contribution to our special day!

San Francisco, CA

I have been a Zen Priest since 2009, and have been officiating weddings since 2011. To everything I do I bring fifteen years of residential zen training at San Francisco Zen Center, including five years of intense monastic training at Tassajara, and many silent retreats. As a wedding officiant I am proud to have performed many same-sex marriages, and many of the couples I have married have been multi-cultural. I am often asked to wear my Buddhist robes for the ceremony, but that is entirely up to the couple. Ceremonies have ranged in size from the couple, me and the photographer, to much more formal settings for up to two hundred people.

We were beyond thrilled with the incredible service provided by Shundo as our wedding officiant. From the moment we met, Shundo exuded warmth, professionalism, and an unwavering dedication to making our ceremony truly unforgettable. His ability to personalize every aspect of our ceremony was astounding. Shundo took the time to understand our story, our values, and what truly mattered to us as a couple. The result was a ceremony that felt uniquely tailored, deeply meaningful, and resonated with both us and our guests. Shundo's eloquence and presence during the ceremony were unparalleled. His words were beautifully crafted and delivered, weaving together humor, emotion, and heartfelt sentiments, which left everyone in attendance moved and touched. What stood out most was Shundo's calming presence. Amidst the whirlwind of emotions on our big day, their reassurance and guidance helped us stay grounded, allowing us to savor every moment of the ceremony. We cannot thank Shundo enough for playing such a pivotal role in our special day. His expertise, kindness, and genuine passion for what they do truly made our wedding ceremony an unforgettable experience. If you're looking for an officiant who goes above and beyond to create a ceremony that reflects your love story in the most magical way possible, Shundo is the absolute perfect choice. Thank you, Shundo, for making our wedding day an absolute dream come true!

What I love about being an officiant is getting to know my couples. What their hopes and dreams are as individuals and as a couple. What they like about each other, what their favorite things they like to do together, and what makes them a couple. Putting all those things together in a memorable wedding ceremony is my passion. My ceremonies are always as individual as my couples. Every relationship is special and unique and I enjoy creating and sharing how you both got to this day, this moment. Your Story. The Best Love Story. Ever.

It's a great privilege and pleasure to celebrate each couple's unique love story and relationship with a wedding ceremony that is personal yet traditional, always warm and inclusive. I have been working with couples for 30 years, and I love every part of the process - from the psycho-spiritual conversations before the ceremony, to the sacred experience of standing beneath the wedding canopy. I strive to weave together each partner's narrative with the Jewish rituals that sanctify a relationship in ways that reflect each couple's shared values and connections.

I have known Rabbi Ridberg since I was a young child and she was the rabbi at my synagogue. I prepared for my bat mitzvah with her and she played a formative role in my Jewish development. I knew for many years I would want her to officiate my wedding and when the time came she was a true joy to work with. My husband and I met with her regularly before the wedding, discussing the meaning of marriage, our wedding and our respective and combined spirituality. During the ceremony she explained with clarity and meaning the jewish traditions to incorporate our guests. I truly cannot recommend her more.

Hi, I’m Naomi—a multi-award-winning wedding officiant known for ceremonies that feel like soul nourishment. I’m part marriage midwife, part mythic storyteller, part fierce loving mama bear. I help couples stay grounded, connected, and deeply seen on one of the most important days of their lives. Rooted in years of cross cultural study, I create inclusive, wildly meaningful, sacred but non-religious ceremonies. Guests swear I must be a family member or close friend. I’m a reverend gone rogue—innovating modern rites with heart, humor, and holy intention, and creating ceremonies that feel like home to you—and unforgettable to everyone else.

Choosing Naomi as our officiant was one of the very best decisions we made for our wedding. She embodies so much warmth and wisdom and has an extremely thoughtful process of getting to know her couples. We wanted our ceremony to be the most special part of our day, and while we trusted her from the beginning, we couldn’t have imagined a ceremony as beautiful as the one she delivered. We wanted to really feel the transition, the peace, the profoundness of the moment, and Naomi gave us this and so much more. Every word was meaningful and deeply personal, not a single one wasted. She slowed everything down. She helped us and our guests all be still and truly present and to notice even the tiniest details that were made not so tiny by the awareness: the trees, the smell of the cool forest air, the crow flying overhead. She was a grounding presence that steadied us in a moment that is often nerve-ridden and blurry for many people. Friends and family all commented on how it was the most beautiful ceremony they had ever been to. One friend even said that he had never been to a wedding where the ceremony was the best part until ours. If you are looking for an officiant who can truly see you and your partner, someone who is capable of honoring your story and your dreams, someone to anchor you in a whirlwind moment while acknowledging how once in a lifetime it is, then run don’t walk to connect with Naomi. You will be so glad you did.

He guided us through the entire process with ease, taking the stress out of one of the most important parts of the day. On the big day, D delivered a ceremony that was truly perfect. He thoughtfully incorporated the religious elements we wanted in order to honor and respect my parents' beliefs, seamlessly blended two different cultures and languages, and added a few nerdy, personal touches that made it feel uniquely us. We’re so grateful to D for helping create such a meaningful and memorable moment. Highly recommend!

Pastor Ken was an exceptional wedding officiant who exceeded our expectations. His communication style was effective, generous, prompt and timely throughout the entire process. Based on our questionnaire responses, he came across as incredibly personable and everyone who attended our wedding resonated with his word choice, making it feel like he had known us as a couple for years even though we had only hired him a few months prior. Pastor Ken made sure our meeting was intentional, ensuring the vows and transitions on our wedding day ran smoothly. He really delivered and made our wedding day extra special, all within a concise one-hour timeframe. We couldn't have asked for a better officiant to make our special day so memorable.

I don’t do cookie-cutter ceremonies. I create personalized wedding ceremonies that reflect who you are and what you value as a couple. I want each word to be based on what matters most to you as you join your lives in marriage. We’ll work together to create your perfect ceremony, and I will help you find ways to make your wedding meaningful for yourselves as well as your families and friends. When I lead the ceremony, I’ll speak from my heart with sincerity and joy. Working with you and being at your wedding is an honor I do not take lightly. It would be a privilege to be part of your special day.

The Mountain Terrace has had the pleasure of working many weddings with Maggie Beretz over the years and she is one of the best officiants you’ll find! Her ceremonies are always so meaningful and heartfelt. And her calm demeanor and professionalism puts everyone at ease on the wedding day…our staff included! She’s incredibly easy to work with and helps couples craft a ceremony that is personal and tailored to them. If you’re looking for a wedding officiant, she is an amazing choice!
