Thank you so much Roberta! I was in a crunch to find an officiant because I didn’t know I was suppose to (guess it said it in the fine print in my contract..oops). Anyways I found Roberta on thumbtack and was immediately drawn to her so I messaged her to see if she was available. She was! We had a FaceTime call and it was all smooth sailing from there. She even sent me photos of the Santa Barbara courthouse where we were going to get married as they are doing construction. My now husband and I aren’t from the area so having her send those photos was super helpful! She checked in with us a couple days before and then the night before to make sure we were going to meet at the correct spot and all of that. Now to the day of our wedding (today :) ) Roberta came walking up and she greeted me with such a warm smile and we were able to have a little chit chat about all the renovations happening while we waited for my now husband to park the car. Once he came it was go time! We walked to the fiesta stage and set up and from there Roberta took the reins and gave the most beautiful speech about us with the information I was able to provide to her during our FaceTime call. It was well thought out and it was like she knew us for forever. If you ever need an officiant in the Santa Barbara area or surrounding I HIGHLY recommend Roberta as she will give you the most amazing/comforting speech to wed you. Thank you again, Roberta. You were so amazing and a huge part of our day :)

Roberta was absolutely incredible as our wedding officiant. From the very first conversation, it felt like we had known her for years. She has a warmth and authenticity that instantly puts you at ease, and her ability to truly see who we are as individuals and as a couple was something really special. She took the time to get to know us, asked thoughtful questions, and crafted a ceremony that was completely tailored to us. It wasn’t just personalized - it was us, through and through. Every word she spoke felt intentional, meaningful, and filled with love. Our guests kept telling us how beautiful and genuine the ceremony was, and that’s all thanks to Roberta. She brought heart, soul, and grace to one of the most important moments of our lives, and we are so grateful. If you’re looking for someone who will honor your story and create a ceremony that feels deeply personal and unforgettable, Roberta is the one.

We had the absolute pleasure of having Roberta as our wedding officiant, and we couldn't have asked for a more perfect person to lead our ceremony. From the moment we first met her, we knew she was the right choice. She was quick in responding back to whatever questions we had and she was accommodating to our requests: incorporating Spanish throughout the ceremony and she was flexible with our request of having our mother’s read a bible verse. She carries a calm and reassuring presence which is exactly what we needed to keep us grounded and focused on the moment. She also incorporated our guests as part of the ceremony which we thought was meaningful. We wholeheartedly recommend her to any couple looking for a wedding officiant. Thank you, Roberta, for being such an integral part of our wedding day!
