Lonnie was such a special part of our wedding. He took so much time getting to know us before the ceremony and really made sure what he was going to say reflected our expectations. For two people who didn’t quite know what they wanted in a ceremony, he had great recommendations and this amazing, well-organized spread sheet that made the whole process very manageable. The day of, he had our vows printed in an easy to read format, and then also had a small keepsake box to gift to us. We are so thankful for Lonnie’s thoughtfulness and attention. We would recommend him to all of our friends and family in a heart beat!!

We found Lonnie as we were looking for an officiant for our Lake Tahoe wedding ceremony, which would be a small, intimate gathering outdoors. Upon meeting Lonnie, we instantly had a connection and the sense that he takes his job seriously and we were correct! Lonnie helped us create the most magical day for our new blended family by combining our faith base and a touch of modern day humor to create a ceremony that was customized especially for our big blended family. Lonnie was eager to offer ideas and always very responsive. Would definitely recommend to anyone looking to make their wedding day perfect!

Hi Rochelle and Erik
Thank you for these beautiful words! I'm so happy to hear that the ceremony was an unforgettable part of your special day. It was a joy to celebrate with you both and Danilo and I were so grateful for the two of extending an invite to your reception. It was spectacular and we now know where to get the BEST Taco's ever!
Wishing you all the very best in your new chapter together!
Warmly,

Lonnie was exceptional who brought professionalism, punctuality, and genuine passion to our special day. His love for what he does was evident throughout the ceremony. We especially appreciated his patience and understanding as we managed the whirlwind of wedding activities. Not only did he conduct a beautiful ceremony, but he also handled all the marriage license logistics seamlessly. We’re truly grateful Lonnie was the one to officiate our wedding and would enthusiastically recommend him to anyone looking for a caring, dedicated officiant.

Lonnie was amazing to work with! From the very first time we talked I could tell he was something special. It felt like I was talking to an old friend and I could tell he was really interested in what me and my husband had to say. We had a themed wedding and Lonnie did his research to ensure that our ceremony followed the theme. He absolutely killed it! My husband and I had multiple people asking about him during the reception and saying how cool he was. Lonnie is truly amazing at what he does and I will be recommending him to everyone I know! You will have such a fun and stress free time working with him.
