About
I create a beautiful ceremony that speaks to you, not just words you have heard before. A ceremony that is light, beautiful, meaningful, and memorable. I work with all belief systems.
I serve all couples in Love.
PS: I do not provide the wedding license.
I love weddings. The opportunity to help two individuals come together as one to build a life is powerful and I get great joy in being chosen to assist them.
Your wedding day is the most important day of your life and the wedding ceremony at its heart should be a beautiful expression of the joining of your hearts and lives in marriage.
I believe at its very best, your wedding ceremony can not only be a true reflection of who you are and what is most meaningful to you individually and as a couple but will create an experience of inspiration and joy for all of your guests.
As a trans-denominational Wedding Minister in Los Angeles, I embrace all beliefs, therefore I am able to draw on a wide variety of elements from near and far to create a wedding ceremony that will express your love and honor for each other and your beliefs in the best possible way.
I Am Your Wedding Minister!

There are no words to accurately describe Reverend Doreene. She was professional, genuine and kind. We planned our wedding in less than a month. From our initial consultation, we knew she was the one to officiate our wedding. She was able to put us at ease, yet allow us to create a ceremony that was representative of the love we share. We are forever grateful.

Doreene was amazing! She created the perfect ceremony for us based on our personalities. At the alter, her presence made us feel so calm and her sense of humor matched ours so well. So many of our guests told us how much they loved her and we agreed! I will recommend her to anyone who is looking for a weddingofficiant. Thanks Doreene!! ❤️

Doreene was a wonderful officiant -- she was willing to work with us to incorporate everything we wanted into the ceremony and was responsive to our needs. She was warm and injected a lot of life and caring into our ceremony. We couldn't be happier!

FAQs
What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
Pricing for a wedding varies on what a couple wants and can afford. If it's just the 2 of you it will be $300. The average price You can expect to spend is $400.
I offer a discount for couples that book through Thumbtack. The price of your quote is much lower than that on my website.
There is, however, a small additional cost if I have to travel a distance over 20 miles.
There are also discounts for very small ceremonies and services that are performed Monday-Thursday, or if you are in the Military, or if there is genuine hardship. I am also very open to negotiation.
However, if you have paid your deposit and I have delivered a ceremony to you for your review, your deposit will not be refunded. If you decide to cancel your wedding 5 days or less before the original schedule date your deposit will not be returned. If you decide to have a friend or family member etc perform your ceremony after I have delivered a ceremony to you, your deposit will not be refunded.
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
I always like to meet with a couple either by phone or in person. We talk about your vision for your ceremony. Then I present you with some elements and a format that we could follow and together we create an outline that works for you.
Then I send you a sample draft of your ceremony. From there we tweak it to meet your approval.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I am an Ordained Minister and a Professional Speaker.
