My wife and I hired Gwen to officiate our small backyard wedding and she did an amazing job. She was extremely helpful and made everything feel super relaxed. Definitely recommended :)

She was amazing to work with. Always responsive and gave us a lot of good ideas for the wedding ceremony. She made it exactly the way we wanted it. Actually it was even better than we wanted. I highly recommend hiring her to officiate your special day!

Gwen was the perfect officiant for our “minimony”. She adjusted the ceremony to our liking, and made sure things ran smoothly. I loved how she was able to bring laughter into it, and was very friendly with our guests. Her husband also took amazing pictures of our wedding and shared it with us!

FAQs

• What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?

  If you live in close proximity to Sunnyvale and want me to officiate quickly, no frills or fanfare. My fee is $ 300 otherwise.... My prices start at $300 That includes, travel up to 50 miles, vows, unlimited calls/emails. If you absolutely need me at the rehearsal, there is an extra charge. Rehearsals must start after 7pm. If I'm traveling more than 50 miles an overnight stay at a local hotel may be needed. There is an additional fee to submit the paperwork to City Hall.

• What is your typical process for working with a new customer?

  We set up a time to talk/skype/facetime and we get to know each other. Questions and answers, I want to know your story so I can bring it to life on your day.

• How did you get started doing this type of work?

  I started with event planning and did many many events. Then my best friend was getting married and she wanted me to officiate. I did that and fell in love with the celebration of love.
