SoCal Christian Weddings

I'm a REAL PASTOR, and served 26 years as a NAVY CHAPLAIN. Working with you, together we fully customize your wedding/vow renewal ceremony to reflect the uniqueness of your relationship in a way that engages and inspires your guests! My many years of pastoral experience reassure nervous couples to help you enjoy your day; my detailed planning with you ensures the very best photos of your ceremony to enjoy for years to come, and safeguards against unwanted surprises. Relax, share the love, and enjoy the day, I've got this for you! Able to speak portions of your ceremony in Spanish or German. Serving all Southern California, willing to travel to all 50 states for you!

WHEN REQUESTING A QUOTE FOR SERVICE: Please be sure to tell me the venue & city for your ceremony, along with the date and time--even if you are still working out specific details, your best guess will help me provide you with the best information about my availability and fee--thank you!

ADDITIONAL SEPARATE OPTIONS:

--Premarital Relationship Coaching: 3 sessions of 90 minutes using insights from an online relationship assessment tool that over 1 million couples have used called SYMBIS (Saving Your Marriage Before It Starts). You also take online assessments for the MBTI (Myers-Briggs Type Indicator) and Love Languages. All assessments can be completed in under 60 minutes combined. Coaching can take place in person or via FaceTime/Skype/Zoom to anywhere! ($450, but if you also have me lead your ceremony there is either a $25 or $50 discount)

No matter how long you've been together, couples ALWAYS really love learning NEW things about themselves, their partner and their relationship...and although it sounds like bragging, it really is the wisest money you’ll spend in the entire wedding experience because you will enjoy enhanced intimacy for many years, long after the beauty of the flowers and taste of cake have faded.

--Sound equipment and Music: Need sound equipment? For larger ceremonies, it is best to have a DJ provide microphone and speakers, but if you don't have one, or if you're having a beach/backyard or small wedding, I can provide a wireless microphone and small but powerful speaker system, It can also play music by bluetooth for your ceremony. $40.00 additional charge...but well worth it so your guests can hear your vows!

--Photography/Videography: For very small weddings, I can set up my iPhone on my tripod to video record your ceremony. It works well, done it many times! We can have a 30 minute photo session afterwards in which I take a number of photos for you, using my equipment (or yours if you have a high quality camera).

I love helping couples have one of the best days of their lives by providing a romantic, fun, unique and meaningful wedding ceremony, all with the professionalism based on more than 30 years of experience leading weddings and other ministry events. It is a privilege for me to inspire guests/families with a super-personalized ceremony that upbeat and DEFINITELY NOT BORING! I have a unique way of sharing the couple's story, based on how they share three kinds of love we discuss in our planning: romantic/attraction love, friendship love, and unconditional commitment love. They are all distinct and essential for lifelong commitment. It's also a joy for me to be connected to many couples like an extended family member, and over time see them post pix on social to show they're expecting a baby, then baby pictures, kids growing up...I hit "like, heart" and congratulate couples on life accomplishments almost every day. I have literally hundreds of couples I am still connected to after many years. :-) It is also very rewarding to lead Relationship Coaching and help couples communicate more effectively and know their relationship will be better off for DECADES because they have learned about themselves and each other for reduced conflict and greater intimacy for lifelong love and commitment.
