What Couples Say

"Leslie didn't just officiate our ceremony — she helped us tell our story in a way we never could have on our own. Every word felt like us. Every moment felt sacred."

— Jessica & David

Questions About Your Ceremony

Rehearsals are included in The Classic Ceremony package and highly recommended if you have a wedding party or complex logistics. For The Elopement and Vow Renewal, we can absolutely work with ceremony-day-only if that works for your timeline. Either way, we coordinate thoroughly beforehand so you feel prepared and confident.

Absolutely. Whether you're writing traditional vows, personal promises, or something completely unique, we incorporate them seamlessly into your ceremony script. I can guide you through the vow-writing process if you'd like support, or we can work with what you've already created. Your words, your voice — that's always the goal.

Yes. I'm an ordained marriage officiant serving Los Angeles County and throughout Southern California. Whether you're saying vows in Malibu, the desert, a national park, or your backyard, I'm authorized to legally marry you. I handle all the paperwork, and I'll guide you through the marriage license process so there are no surprises.

I serve all of Southern California and beyond. Travel fees apply based on distance (see the pricing section above). For destinations 100+ miles away, we can discuss custom rates. I'm also happy to coordinate with officiants in other regions if you're getting married out of state.

Yes — with joy and full support. All couples are welcome. I create ceremonies that honor your love, your identities, your traditions, and your vision, whatever that looks like. I've worked with interfaith couples, same-sex couples, non-traditional ceremonies, and everything in between. Let's build something that feels true to you.
