Meet Your Officiant

Hi, I'm Mike.

A Southern California wedding officiant who believes your ceremony should feel like you — not a template.

10 years officiating.
20+ in the industry.
Zero templates.

I've been part of weddings for more than 20 years — but for the last 10, I've been the one standing up front making it official. What I love most about officiating is getting to know the people behind the wedding. I take the time to learn your story, your personalities, your relationship, and what matters most to you — so I can create a ceremony that feels genuine, personal, and memorable.

Whether your ceremony is romantic, funny, traditional, non-traditional, intimate, or somewhere in between, I'm here to make the process easy, comfortable, and stress-free. I'll guide you through the details, help with the ceremony and vows, and be there to make sure you feel confident when the big moment arrives.

For me, being your officiant is about more than showing up, reading a script, and saying "I now pronounce you married." It's about telling your story and creating a moment you — and your guests — will remember. I'd love to hear yours.

Always on time

Punctual, prepared,
and ready for anything.

Your ceremony starts on time — every time. I show up early, walk the venue, and make sure every detail is locked in before a single guest takes their seat.

After 10 years and dozens of ceremonies across Southern California, I've learned that the couples who feel most at ease on their wedding day are the ones who know their officiant has everything handled. That's the job I take seriously.

What I stand for

What Every Couple Can Expect

Fully Custom, Always

I've never used a template and I never will. Your ceremony is written specifically for you — it couldn't belong to any other couple.

Inclusive & Affirming

I celebrate love in all its forms. LGBTQ+ couples, interfaith couples, multicultural ceremonies — all are equally welcome and equally celebrated.

Legally Ordained in California

I'm licensed to perform legally binding marriages throughout the state of California. Your paperwork is handled with care and filed on time, every time.

Present on Your Day

I don't just show up and read. I'm fully present — emotionally, professionally, and logistically — so your ceremony unfolds exactly as you imagined.

Let's write your ceremony together.
