  • Starts at $350
  • Serves Goleta, CA

Santa Barbara wedding officiant Dani Antman performs interfaith, religious, and spiritual wedding ceremonies. Ordained as an Interfaith minister in 2004, Dani specializes in creating custom, and touching personalized wedding ceremonies. She loves to combine different traditions and customs, along with rituals, readings, and blessings that reflect your love for each other and your religious beliefs. Dani will guide you through the planning process: from discussing details of your own unique love story, to creating the ceremony and walking down the aisle. Filing the license and all meetings are included. Attending the rehearsal is extra.

Dani was an amazing officiant. We got so many compliments on how personal the ceremony was, and she was a pleasure to work with. She took a lot of care in making sure she spoke we multiple times over the phone (we were from out of town), and ensured we were happy with the final ceremony script. She was professional but had that extra hint of care. She also filed our marriage license the next business day, which was very much appreciated. She has a lot of experience in doing rooms in the Santa Barbara Courthouse. Thank you again Dani!

L + A Union Ceremonies 

5.0

  • Offers 10 ceremony types
  • Starts at $550
  • Serves Goleta, 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.

L A Union Ceremonies were the perfect officiants for our wedding. From our first interaction, the communication was thorough, thoughtful, and prompt. The officiant, Lilian, took the time to learn about our whole relationship history in order to craft a truly personalized and meaningful ceremony. She was extremely helpful in translating our vision into an expertly executed reality, ensuring each section of the ceremony felt intentional and special. Her attention to detail and dedication to making our day perfect was evident throughout the entire process. We couldn't have asked for a better officiant to help us celebrate our love!

Hello there! I'm Patrick, a professional wedding officiant based in Paso Robles, California...Our little drinking town, with a farming problem...but I do travel! I take absolute delight in helping make your wedding ceremony just as you envisioned it. After all, it's your special day! In addition to working as an officiant, I'm also the owner of a distillery in Paso Robles, a voice-over specialist, and I have a multiple-subject teaching credential.

Patrick is amazing! He made everything so enjoyable and easy. He definitely kept things fun but still professional, both in first meeting him and on the day of the ceremony/during the ceremony. It was all super detailed to us as a couple. He's a really good dude inside and out. Very respectful too. We love this guy!

Lawrence E. Adjah, MBA, M.Ed, M.Div. 

5.0

  • Offers 8 ceremony types
  • Starts at $2,250
  • Serves Goleta, CA

Lawrence E. Adjah, MBA, M.Ed, M.Div. is a pastor, marriage counselor and best-selling author on relationships. Lawrence specializes in marriage counseling and one-on-one spiritual advisory. He approaches his guidance in a biblically based, structured, relatable, and systematic manner, with clear owned outcomes and next steps. Lawrence will guide you through the wedding planning process with warmth, intentionality and clarity. Lawrence offers a wide array of services to guide you through your wedding and beyond. He provides both wedding officiating services and vow renewals, as well as pre-marital counseling and ongoing marriage counseling.

My husband and I worked with Pastor Lawrence for a year of faith-based pre-marital counseling and had an amazing experience. We, like many couples, went into our first session thinking we’d already discussed the most important topics and we’d maybe need to do 3 formal pre-marital counseling sessions. Our first session was so impactful that we immediately decided that we wanted a full year of counseling. That decision, we believe, completely changed the trajectory of our marriage. Pastor Lawrence asked difficult, thought-provoking questions that helped us see our relationship (with each other and with God) in new ways, and each session left us feeling better equipped for marriage than we ever expected. His depth of knowledge, approachability, and ability to guide meaningful, relevant conversations aimed at aligning us as one—even when we thought we had nothing new to discuss—was truly a gift. We are so grateful for the wisdom and encouragement he poured into us throughout this process and would highly recommend him to any couple who is looking to build a strong, Christ-centered foundation going into their marriage.

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. ♥

Do yourself a favor and hire this officiant! The process was excellent start to finish! Yvonne got to know our story and created the most unique and beautiful ceremony, readings and vows for us for our elopement. We were both in tears! This was the perfect blend of lighthearted fun and sentimental touches and conveyed what was meaningful and important to us on our wedding day. We were completely blown away.

Wedding officiant Heidi's only job is to make sure that you both have a wonderful ceremony that feels right to you. It should be memorable for the right reasons, have some laughter, a little bit of romance, and show your love for each other. She will capture your personal love story and your ceremony will definitely Not be long and boring! Heidi has married over 650 couples since 2016 and she's known for making the process easy and stress free for you. As a former wedding planner, she makes sure your ceremony flows smoothly and she will help you feel calm and actually enjoy your ceremony!

Heidi is an absolute gem of a human. She came recommended to us by our wedding photographers and was the perfect officiant for our LA elopement. We felt a connection to her from the very beginning and she made us feel like family. Over the course of several months, we worked together on crafting our personalized ceremony that included a hand fasting and tarot card pull. We then completed a questionnaire that was used to tell our love story. I was genuinely taken aback at the heartfelt way our answers wove together to tell the story of our relationship. I should also mention how meaningful it was that our final tarot card that we pulled was The Heirophant - literally the marriage card. It made our ceremony feel even more magical! We are so grateful for her involvement in making our day perfect — and we are glad to call her Aunt Heidi!
