Wedding officiant needed at rehearsal?

Introduction: My name is Roberta Thompson. I am a professional bilingual (English/Spanish) ordained wedding officiant from Santa Maria, along the Central Coast of California. I honor diversity and inclusion for all of my couples and families. To date, I have officiated 362 ceremonies. My goal is to make sure that your celebration (wedding, elopement, hospital emergency ceremony, military deployment, vow renewal, license-signing, commitment ceremony, baby naming, celebration of life) is a personalized and memorable experience. I travel to all types of venues: homes, beaches, vineyards, parks, backyards, boats, hilltops, chapels, hotels, courthouses, government buildings, poolsides, restaurants, event halls, jails, etc. I can provide information about the marriage license process to you. The fee is all-inclusive, which means the following: 1) Creation of a personalized ceremony script (and give you a copy after the ceremony) 2) Unlimited contact time with the couple/family, 3) Filing of the marriage license with the County, if applicable. 4) Detailed instructions given to witnesses to properly complete their portion of the marriage license. 5) travel expenses. 6) a scanned unofficial copy of the marriage license. Officiant does not normally attend a rehearsal; that is an extra negotiated fee, due to the additional time involved. We can meet in person, or video chat by appointment, call, text message and email each other. 10% discount to active duty military couples. Please note that there is a STARTING fee, however, that fee will be more for events out of the officiant’s normal travel area. There is a small surcharge for bilingual ceremonies. Virtual weddings (i.e. Zoom, Skype, FaceTime) are for commitment ceremonies and for specific incarcerated persons only.

Roberta officiated our elopement on the beach, and the wedding ceremony that she put together for us was all that we hoped for. In addition, Roberta sent us a copy of the ceremony and vows and made sure our marriage license was completed and mailed on the same day as our wedding. We highly recommend Roberta as an officiant. She took the time to meet with us on a video call early on and kept in communication with us throughout the planning process. She was very amenable to adjusting our wedding day due to rain from Hurricane Hilary on our originally planned wedding date. She made our wedding day memorable and special.

Choosing Roberta as our officiant was the perfect move! The ceremony was small and intimate and she made it so special by including our guest during the ceremony. I loved my wedding and I recommend Roberta for any couple looking for a professional officiant who is simply kind and well spoken. Thank you Roberta, you made my special day one I will never forget and will always cherish.

Overall great experience with Roberta. We initially had a video call with her to get the initial information about the ceremony and about us. Every month after that she checked in on us via email/text. The day of our wedding ceremony, she was on time, professional and easy to work with. We couldn’t have chosen a better officiant. Thank you Roberta for making our day so special.

We recently had the joy of having Roberta be the officiant at our micro wedding ceremony. From the first meeting and through the entire process, we were impressed by her professionalism, warmth, understanding, preparedness and expertise. We were nervous about our ceremony and Roberta guided us through the process and made us feel reassured. She even personalized our ceremony by including bilingual portions, special passages, and included a mention of a family member who couldn’t attend. She exceeded all of our expectations and we would highly recommend her services for anyone searching for an officiant!

We recently had the pleasure of having Roberta Thompson as our wedding officiant and we must say, she exceeded all of our expectations. From the moment we met her (via FaceTime), we knew that we had made the right choice. Roberta was incredibly accommodating and worked with us to customize a small, non-religious & non-traditional ceremony that perfectly fit our needs. Neither of us enjoys being the center of attention, but Roberta helped us feel comfortable and at ease throughout the entire ceremony. What we loved most about Roberta was that she shared some personal words of wisdom with us. It was clear that she took the time to get to know us and understand what was important to us as a couple. Her heartfelt words made the ceremony that much more special and meaningful. Overall, we could not have asked for a better wedding officiant. Roberta was professional, kind, and truly went above and beyond to make our special day unforgettable. We would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a wedding officiant who will help create a ceremony that perfectly reflects their love story. Thank you, Roberta, for being a part of our special day!
