Ceremonies by Gene Quiocho

Ceremonies by Gene Quiocho I’m Gene Quiocho, a chaplain, spiritual counselor , and ordained officiant. I help couples and families mark life’s most meaningful moments with warmth, presence, and care. Whether it’s a wedding, a celebration of life, a vow renewal, or a baby blessing, I approach each ceremony with intention and deep respect for the people involved. I’m ordained by the Progressive Alliance Church and hold an ecclesiastical endorsement from the Coalition of Spirit-Filled Churches for Department of Defense service. My background includes years of chaplaincy, grief care, and storytelling. What I offer is more than just a script. It’s a space to honor your story, your love, and your values in a way that feels real and sacred. Ceremonies I offer: • Weddings and Elopements • Celebration of Life / Memorials • Vow Renewals • Baby Blessings • Custom Vows and Rituals • Optional Spiritual Coaching Rates: Weddings begin at $250 and go up to $550 depending on what’s needed. Memorials typically start at $350. Vow renewals and baby blessings are usually between $200 and $300. Custom vows, unity rituals, and printed materials are available for an additional $50 and up. If your event is more than 30 miles from Temecula, a travel fee may apply. For last-minute bookings within 72 hours, I’ll do my best to accommodate and may add a $100 rush fee. Weddings are best booked 2 to 4 weeks ahead. Other ceremonies can often be scheduled with 7 to 10 days’ notice. If you’re looking for a ceremony that feels authentic, inclusive, and personal, I would be honored to walk with you.
