Equal Opportunity Officiants

Rev. Sam was amazing!! He took the time to learn who we were, and it felt incredibly caring and personal. After the ceremony, our family could not stop talking about how special Rev. Sam's presence was. We truly couldn't have asked for a better experience. Highly recommend!

Sam is the absolute BEST! From our first encounter at the Santa Clara wedding Fair me and my husband knew he had to officiate our wedding. Sam and my fiancé connected over their beards as they both complimented each others and got more information on the services Sam provided. It took us a few weeks to get back to Sam as we were trying to confirm the ceremony’s location before booking him. Once we reached out through email he knew exactly who we were as he had remembered us from that day even after meeting so many other people. Sam was a pleasure to work with and made our entire ceremony preparation as easy and stress free as possible. Me and my husband had no idea as to what a ceremony consisted of and Sam made sure to provided as many options and information as possible. During our zoom meeting he asked us all the right questions and was genuinely interested in allowing us take charge on how we wanted our ceremony by allowing us to decide how long we wanted the ceremony, what readings we wanted and also let us know of a unity ceremony. Our entire zoom call was full of smiles, excitement and nerves that were creeping up as the date was getting closer. Sam assured us of his arriving time on the day of the ceremony and checked in with us as we were heading to the City Hall. We had to make a few last minute adjustments to our unity ceremony but Sam made sure to take care of a new plan and provide us the best ceremony we could have dreamed of. Sam welcomed us at the front of the City Hall with a big smile, snapped a few pictures of us and embraced us in a big hug assuring us our wedding day was going to be beautiful. We all walked up to the Fourth Floor North Gallery where Sam allowed us to do our vows privately. Sam continuously checked in on me and my husband as we were waiting on my husbands family to arrive and was very comforting. Once our ceremony began Sam had me and my Husband and all our guest in tears and smiles. After the ceremony we had a lot of family members and guests ask us if we have known Sam for a long time and if he was a friend of ours because they could tell he genuinely loved and cared for us and our special day. Hearing this from our friends and family confirmed that me and my husband made the best decision choosing Sam as our officiant because he made the ceremony feel like it was a family member and someone we greatly admire marrying us.

Sam was exceptional in every way you could imagine. My now wife and I reached out to Sam with a pretty short timeline and really no idea what was all involved or any significant plans. He got back to our request almost immediately and we scheduled a meeting within a few days. He walked us through the process, shared all types of ideas for different ceremony options and even helped us find a beautiful location for us and our close family members. Sam made us feel extremely comfortable, understood our needs and he was able to provide us a magnificent day neither of us will ever forget. Sam was extremely flexible with timing and organizing everything. He even helped us in honoring one our recently passed family members that was supposed to attend our wedding. It was a lovely moment. In addition to the amazing ceremony, Sam is genuinely one of the nicest people either of us has met. You could tell immediately how much he enjoyed helping us and being a part of our major life milestone. We can’t thank him enough!

Working with Sam was amazing. Our ceremony was very short, but he was still able to work on a few readings as well as adding a personal touch. All of our guests were impressed and enjoyed the ceremony as much as we did!

Rev. Sam was amazing and definitely exceeded our expectations! With the choice of words and making both of us so comfortable! Thank you so much !

Sam truly made our wedding ceremony one of a kind and stress free! From our initial call down to the week before the ceremony, he has checked in with us and completely personalized our special day. He took his time on zoom calls, asking questions and Got to know us as a couple. When I had a vendor issue, he offered a hand to help solve my problem even though he didn’t need to. He made us laugh, shed a tear and gave us all the warm and fuzzy feeling we wanted for our ceremony. He even helped me figure out how to walk down the aisle! He is beyond exceptional and I highly recommend him for any wedding ceremonies and vow renewals.

Our wedding was two months ago and we are so glad we got the opportunity to work with EOO. Our ceremony was officiated by Sam Fullerton, and he did an amazing job! Our ceremony was my favorite part of the day. The process to book with him was so easy and comfortable. We had a first meeting via Zoom, where we had the opportunity to explain to him what was that we were looking for, he gave us a walkthrough of the services provided, and it just gave us chance to see if it was a fit for both of us. Right of the bat, we felt super comfortable and we sense genuine kindness and positiveness, which was important for us to have someone special to officiate our ceremony. After booking with him, we met in person, we talked about what we envisioned for the ceremony. Then we continue to communicate via email. Even with a short time frame, he was able to work with us an create a special ceremony. Our family and guests continue to talk about the ceremony, as they thought it was beautiful and special. Thank you Sam and EOO for making our day so special! We wish you much success!!

Rev. Sam was our officiant for our wedding and he just did the best job. He was very friendly and easy to talk to and answered every question I had which made the process much easier. I am so grateful we had him as part of our special day and I highly recommend him!

Samuel is nice and easy to work with!!! He is really supportive during the whole process, he is patient on explaining the procedure and helped us personalize our wedding and had a really impressive script describing our stories, I really appreciate his help during this the most important moment in my life. I would suggest Samuel to all of you if you would like to have an unforgettable wedding experience!!!!! Thank you again Samuel!!!!

Choosing Samuel as our officiant guaranteed a completely stress-free, memorable, and cherished experience. His professionalism, attention to detail, and creativity in weaving our narrative into his speech were remarkable. He skillfully guided us through the entire process, aiding us in understanding ourselves and each other on a deeper level. Additionally, Samuel is keen on infusing cultural elements into weddings. Being aware that we are Chinese speakers and that our grandparents in China would be watching the ceremony live, he graciously offered to say a few words in Chinese. To prepare, he worked with a Chinese tutor and practiced diligently up until the last moment before our ceremony. We wholeheartedly recommend Samuel to our friends and anyone in need of an officiant who goes above and beyond to make their special day truly unforgettable.

We are so glad we found Reverend Sam! He made our ceremony very special and was a good communicator all throughout the wedding-planning process. Our first meeting was over dinner and it set the tone for the rest of our time working with him. Sam was really organized and seemed like he had a lot of experience right off the bat. We were behind on wedding planning, so that was a big relief. We had a great conversation during dinner; it really felt like we were doing a group project with a couple of friends, not an interview, and we went home feeling like we were in good hands. We learned a lot about him and he did a great job figuring out what we needed and what we wanted for our ceremony. He crafted the ceremony after getting to know us and included readings that reflected our values and story. He even learned a few phrases from my husband's language! He accommodated some very last-minute changes and everything flowed smoothly. The ceremony had it all: it was emotional, light-hearted, and fun. That was exactly what we were hoping to achieve.

You won't find a more caring, thoughtful reverend to share your special day with. Sam and his crew are as good as they come and will ensure that your ceremony reaches heights of splendor that you have always wished for.

Top notch all around...Equal Opportunity Officiants weren't able to officiate our wedding due to being across the country at the time. So we recruited a family member handle it. But, being that it was this family member's first time officiating a wedding, he was pretty nervous. So we reached out to Equal Opportunity Officiants to utilize the 'Officiant Coaching' services. Sam then worked very closely with our officiant over the next few weeks in order to make sure that it all went smoothly. Our officiant had nothing but high praise for what EOO brought to the table. By the wedding day, he gave the vibe of a seasoned veteran. He actually had multiple people ask him how long he'd been officiating weddings (followed by shocked faces when he said it was his first time). With that, I couldn't recommend EOO enough. 10/10.

Sam was super professional and really went out of his way to tailor our ceremony to who we are as a couple. It was fun, and he speaks so eloquently. Our wedding day wouldn’t have been the same without him.
