tarted, he brought amazing energy, enthusiasm, and personality that made the entire experience fun, engaging, and unforgettable.
He did a fantastic job balancing humor and heartfelt moments, making the ceremony feel personal, meaningful, and entertaining. Our guests could not stop talking about how much they loved him. He had everyone laughing, smiling, and fully present in the moment.
Choosing Great Officiants and having Alan officiate our wedding was one of the best decisions we made. He helped set the perfect tone for the entire celebration and made our ceremony even more special. If you are looking for an officiant who is professional, energetic, charismatic, and knows how to create an unforgettable wedding ceremony, we highly recommend Alan and Great Officiants. Thank you for making our big day so memorable!

d everyone we talked to was super easygoing and accommodating the whole time.
The day itself was so smooth! We showed up and got married, no stress. We did have a few guests running late, but Alan and his team were really kind and waited to start until everyone got there, which we really appreciated.
We went with the traditional vows, and Alan did an amazing job. The ceremony felt really personal and genuine, and he even added some humor in a way that just worked. It’s something I’ll always remember.
Also, the photography was amazing! Especially for how affordable it was. We’re really happy with how the photos turned out.
I (hopefully lol) won’t be getting married again, so I won’t be back, but I’d definitely come back for a vow renewal and would recommend them to anyone looking for something simple, stress-free, and still really special

We had an "Elvis" ceremony and he was GREAT!! His entertaining style, singing and all-around fun attitude took so much of the pressure off of us. All of our dozen family attendees were highly entertained and "Elvis" made them part of the event.
Also, we had several distant family and friends watch via ZOOM and the compliments started rolling in.
I can only give Great Officiants 5 stars. If I could, I would give them 10.
Thank you Alan Katz for making our ceremony so much fun and memorable. You are THE best!!

he perfect fit for our wedding. He was fun, always smiling and you can tell he truly loves his job. He was able to draft an entire ceremony customized about us based on a short questionnaire and it made our wedding that much more special. His ability to make a ceremony about two strangers sound like he knows our whole relationship was outstanding! He did a zoom call with us to read the draft to us and it was so perfect. The day of the wedding was so surreal and it was so great to hear the ceremony he wrote himself while standing in front of our loved ones and getting to see and hear their reactions. I would recommend Great Officiant over and over! They made planning a wedding easy!

Working with Alan at Great Officiants felt like it was meant to be! My husband and I met while working at Disneyland, so imagine our surprise and excitement when Alan told us he’s ...
the official officiant for Disneyland Weddings. How perfect is that?
From the start, Alan made us feel confident and comfortable. He seamlessly wove our love story, shared interests, and cultural backgrounds into a ceremony that felt uniquely us. There was laughter, there were tears, and above all, there was so much love. Multiple guests came up to us afterward to say how incredible the ceremony was, and we couldn’t agree more.
If you’re looking for an officiant who takes the time to truly understand you and your partner, and who creates a ceremony that’s personal, heartfelt, and unforgettable, look no further. We highly recommend Alan and the team at Great Officiants!

Rabbi Barry also creates a ketubah from scratch. It was quite a process, going back and forth with little details being changed here and there, but Rabbi Barry will not stop until everyone is satisfied with the end result. He created such a beautiful ketubah for us because of his attention to detail.
Please do not hesitate in having this company officiate your wedding. Rabbi Barry was the best and will help you have the most memorable wedding ceremony!

Let’s get straight to the point—we love Alan and Patrick!!! We chose Patrick because he was much closer to the venue.
Patrick is warm, funny, and truly understood us as a couple....
From the moment we saw his profile, we had a feeling he was the one. Meeting him only confirmed it—it was a no-brainer, and we booked him immediately!
Patrick personalized our ceremony in the most thoughtful way, bringing incredible energy and heartfelt grace to every moment. Our family and friends couldn’t stop raving about how much they loved him.
It’s so important to find an officiant who can share your love story with such confidence and heart, and Patrick was everything we could have hoped for and more. Thank you, Patrick and Great Officiants team, for making our ceremony unforgettable!

We have had countless guest remark that they have never attended such a beautiful unique service as ours and we must credit that with Regan carrying out our vision as a couple. Regan made our ceremony a memorable one and we are so glad to have connected with her on the Great Officiant Website.

Alan was the most amazing officiant that we could have asked for. The ceremony is the reason that everyone is gathered at the wedding, and Alan absolutely nailed it. During the pla...
nning process, he was so helpful in giving us ideas on how to customize the wedding to be very unique to us, and in the end, everyone remembered how amazing the ceremony was, and that is thanks to Alan.
We did a tea ceremony (just us, no parents), a hand blessing, a personalized reading, and wrote our own vows. Alan balanced the perfect mix of making it romantic while also adding in very appropriate jokes to lighten the mood as well.
Lastly, my husband's name is often mispronounced, and many vendors were not able to pronounce his name right. Alan took the time to make sure he pronounced it properly, and that was something we appreciated so much.
Highly recommend booking with Alan, and if possible, booking the service to write your ceremony from scratch because that is how we ended up with the most beautiful wedding we could have asked for!

We hired Michael Thieling to be our officiant. He did a great job and we would recommend him to other couples! We planned out our ceremony with him a week or so before our wedding....
On the big day when he arrived, I told him I decided I wanted to suprise my husband by throwing a hacky sack (sentimental and referenced in my vows) at my husband as part of our vows. He brought up the fact that if I walked down the aisle with the hacky sack in my wedding dress pocket, it would be visible. He did a fantastic job at thinking on his feet and coming up with an idea for himself to carry it in and then throw it at me to then throw to my husband. His flexibiity and great idea made my vows really fun and memorable. He also did a great job holistically, and the ceremony went great. I truly appreciate how easy-going and easy he was to work with! Thanks Michael!

We had one phone call, one zoom call, and a few email exchanges and that was all it took for him to create the perfect script for our wedding ceremony. We told him what we wanted and didn’t want and he followed our instructions. He was personable and easy to work with and we are very happy we found him. The company as a whole has a very smooth process for connecting people with an Officiant. We also decided to get our marriage license through them and they made this process a breeze. For a small fee they came to us to do the paperwork and they were so helpful in ensuring we had everything we needed for the big day. I would highly recommend Great Officiants, especially Officiant Sammy. :)

We asked Maricela to do a simple non-religious ceremony with Spanish highlights, which was perfect for us as a couple and our families. The package included two quick meetings leading up to the big day, which helped settle our nerves. Overall, Maricela has a very calming presence and was all-around wonderful.
