About
Wedding Officiant
I am a licensed minister with a theatre/writing background, so I can also write your ceremony any way you would like it to be with humor or gravitas, religious or non-religious inclinations. I can do segments of your ceremony in languages other than English. I've done ceremonies in Spanish, German, Italian, French, Russian, and Japanese.
I've also officiated at and written various awards ceremonies, auctions, conventions, military functions and other events.
Editor
I have edited six books (one best seller) and about 500 speeches and film scripts, and I look forward to working with you and your manuscript.
I charge $3.00 to $5.00 per finished page (about 250 words per page is standard).
Motivational Speaker
I deliver motivational speeches about presentation skills and the importance of being able to stand up and deliver your message to an audience face-to-face. In a recent study, it was found that the best indicator of a person's potential to succeed is the ability to use presentation skills to convince and to lead.
I do this for organizations large and small, such as Vistage (worlds largest organization of CEOs), McKesson (number six of the Fortune 500), The National Association of Women's Business Owners (NAWBO). It will be interactive and fun; news they can use right away.
Spokesman/Actor
Brian Collins began his acting career on stage in San Francisco, and he has since appeared in Simon and Simon, Falconcrest, The Young and the Restless, and General Hospital. He has done over 500 corporate films (multiple-award winner), movies and commercials, 60 conventions, and numerous series, news, VO, plays, improvs, and special events; many of them are multilingual.
He works nationally and internationally, having presented in foreign languages during a European speaking tour (Finland, Sweden, France, Spain, Italy, and Germany), and at conventions in The Netherlands, England, and Switzerland. Our videos are on the website.
Using the Earprompter, which he also sells and teaches, Brian has stood in at the last minute for numerous CEOs, ministers, speakers, actors and sales people, and he has given their presentations, as if they were his own.
Brian is available to work worldwide (and already has).

Brian was conducting our wedding ceremony. The ceremony was small and very intimate, so we were looking for someone who would make it special and personalized.
Brian did an amazing job not only delivering the regular script but he also put a lot of effort to do it in two languages even though he doesn't even speak Russian. My parents who only speak Russian really appreciated it. Brian also was very flexible with customizing the script and even learned the whole reading I chose by heart. I liked his voice and the pace of his speech, it was just what we needed.
Thank you, Brian!

I recently had a back yard wedding in Carlsbad, CA...Brian was our wedding officiant. From start to finish, Brian was very personable, yet professional. It was a huge help that he visited my home prior to the wedding day, to help finalize layout and timing details. Brian certainly has a gift, the guests were enamoured as he paced himself through some very thought out, well written vows. He even added some tasteful humor...of course that I had previously approved and greatly appreciated at the time, considering all of the stress that I was going through. His timing was impeccable, my guests were seated as previously discussed and the wedding was right on cue....Thank you so much Brian!

I made the right choice with Brian. My friends lived out of town so he contacted them for there personal details. He talked to me about the timing of the day and was here on time and early. He orchestrated the event for us. His words were right on for what they wanted, when they didn't know what they wanted. Brian was gracious and handled everything professionally. Perfect for our occasion.

Brian did a perfect job for us. The speech he prepared for our ceremony was perfect in content and length. We had our ceremony on the beach with no power outlets but Brian was able to carry his voice to all of our guests. Totally recommend!

Brian is not only a consummate professional but also a caring and energetic colleague and teacher. I have worked with him on-camera and have participated in one of his ear prompter training seminars. He is also my only source for ear prompter equipment. I highly recommended him for his ear prompter expertise as well as on-camera collaborations and live presentations.
