ackyard wedding with limited guests. When trying to decide on an officiant for our ceremony, we weren’t quite sure where to look. Neither of us are religious, and we did not have any close friends or family members that would have been able to do the ceremony for us. Enter Best Wedding Officiant Emilio Garcia! He made EVERYTHING extremely easy and straightforward. Even if you are looking for more traditional services, I would not hesitate to reach out to Emilio & his team. He helped review our vows and gave excellent pointers. Emilio did an amazing job on our wedding day. He made us laugh (especially when he comedically continued as our dog decided to pee on the alter in the middle of the ceremony haha or when he had to ask me twice if “I do” because I forgot to respond, should’ve heard the crowd lol), he made us cry (happy tears lol) it was more than we could’ve hoped for! Everyone had such wonderful things to say about the ceremony. If you are in need of an officiant, Knots & Vows Sonoma is the place!!!!! Thank you so much Emilio for being part of our special day!

gined having anyone else be our officiant on my wedding day. He was well prepared, added special touches to what we wanted, and was always present during the entire process. Not only is he a friend, but he is a professional on all levels, and a genuine human being. Thank you Emilio for being apart of me and Jason’s special day!
