even came to our welcome cocktails the day prior to say hi and get to know our friends and family. Our actual ceremony was our favorite part of the day and we attribute so much of that to Meghan. She has a calm, open, and kind demeanor. We even got comments from our guests saying how our ceremony felt so intimate and like a meditation! Meghan truly made our ceremony feel unique to us and we're grateful for her!

Meghan could not have been a better fit for our wedding in the beginning of September! My husband and I received the most compliments from our wedding on Meghan and how well she en...
capsulated everything necessary to make our ceremony special. Something Meghan does for her couples is have them answer a questionnaire about their partner. Meghan intertwines these answers beautifully into her ceremony. It was so special to hear the answers from one another read aloud during our ceremony. Meghan was the perfect officiant for us and knew exactly how to make our friends and family laugh, cry and remember our special day.
Meghan was a joy to work with. She walked us through possible approaches to our ceremony that would allow us to customize the day into what would best suit us. She introduced us to...
potential areas to include and consider for the ceremony that we hadn't considered before. As a part of the process she sent us approached to consider and had an easily laid out set of options to choose from as well as custom approaches. She allowed for the option for each of us to send her some of our thoughts on each other and marriage, which she used to craft the ceremony. It made it very special and exciting to head what the other said in response to her prompts. She was clear and timely with communication and next steps after the ceremony. We highlight recommend Meghan.
Meghan was the absolute perfect officiant for our ceremony. Not only did she make it personal and beautiful but she made the entire process a breeze as well! So many of our guests ...
commented on how sweet the ceremony was even without us reading our own vows there were still so many personal touches! She handles the entire process of getting the license completed and back to the clerks office so we didn’t have a thing to worry about. Thank you Meghan for being a part of our day!
Meghan did an amazing job officiating our Tahoe elopement at Eagle Rock! The questionnaire she sent has very thoughtful questions to help her build a beautifully written ceremony. ...
She is very personable and was even willing to hike up to our ceremony spot. My husband and I would both highly recommend her to anyone who is looking for an officiant!

nt the way we wanted it to go. Even though we didn’t know her prior to booking her, she asked questions about our relationship and incorporated elements of our relationship into the ceremony very well. We got so many compliments from our guests on Meghan’s officiating. We would highly recommend her!
She was wonderful! Her questionnaire and thoughtful guidance really helped put us on the right path for how we wanted things to flow . Her smile and kind/warm face and eyes really...
helped put my nervous jitters at ease. This is by no means a negative thing but just know, most (if not all) of what you insert into her questionnaire will be what she reads aloud to your guests…. So just leave out or let her know anything you don’t want shared to that audience.
Meghan is truly the best. We planned for a small wedding in Southlake Tahoe and were doing everything over the phone and through email as we live in Texas. The minute I spoke with ...
Meghan I knew she was our officiant. She made sure and asked the right questions, really got to know us as a couple, cultivated a beautiful ceremony, and made our special day unforgettable. I felt taken care of and she really went above and beyond in helping us with things related to weather and location as well as following up with us after the wedding with the marriage license. I would not hesitate to recommend Meghan to anyone looking for that special officiant for their special day.

ave found her! She worked with us to bring out not just our beliefs and relationship story, but to bring us into the moment of our wedding ceremony and take it all in. She made us so comfortable at the altar, like we were the only people there in that moment and helped center us. We could not recommend her more!
Meghan officiated the ceremony for our elopement in December 2022. She was FANTASTIC. She reached out a couple of weeks before the ceremony and we did an initial consult of what we...
wanted. We filled out a simple questionnaire and she constructed our ceremony from there. She was so open-minded, organized, and professional. Our ceremony was exactly what we wanted. She was also very prompt about getting our marriage license returned. She was amazing and I feel like she really cared about us having a really special ceremony.
Meghan was an awesome officiant. She was recommended to us and we would certainly recommend her! She asked us thorough, thought provoking questions about ourselves and each other t...
o tailor the ceremony. Many of our guests asked us who Meghan was, and how we know her, as many of our guests thought she was an old friend based on how well she described us. We brought a random tree watering ceremony idea to Meghan and she helped us pull off a total curveball wedding moment. If you need a officiant around Lake Tahoe, give Meghan a call!
Meghan was amazing to work with! All our guests loved her thoughtfulness she put into the ceremony. We did not have much clue what we wanted going into planning our ceremony, and M...
eghan made it super easy to help make the ceremony feel like us and fit who we were and what we ultimately wanted. Would definitely recommend hiring Meghan!

Meghan is an absolute gem! She is so sweet and so professional. Our wedding included hiking 3 miles and she said that it was no problem at all and that she was more than excited to...
be apart of it! I love that she tailors her ceremonies specifically to the couple. Our relationship was portrayed so well without having met her in person prior to our special day! It felt as though we had already been friends with her for years. I would absolutely, without a doubt, recommend her to anyone getting married! Whether they are eloping or having a traditional wedding, she is the perfect fit for all different types of couples! We are so grateful for you Meghan, thanks again for making our day so wonderful!!
Meghan was such a pleasure to work with, she was so laid back and maid the ceremony planning process so stress free. She came recommended through another one of our wedding vendors...
and we are so happy she was available to officiate our ceremony. Meghan was very communicative and explained the whole process. We were able to customize our ceremony and she had us fill out a questionnaire about each other and revealed our answers to us during our ceremony. It was a great idea and made for a touching and humorous wedding ceremony. Our guests loved it. I highly recommend Meghan!

she made our day unforgettable. She crafted a personalized ceremony that we will always cherish. Meghan even hiked up a mountain to perform the ceremony! Thank you Meghan!

Wow! I was so impressed with Meghan Ruiz Ceremony. We were actually referred to her by another officiant whom was unwilling to hike to our ideal location. When I reached out to Meg...
han she seemed just as excited about our elopement “plan” and ceremony as we were!!
She really took her time to get to know us via FaceTime and a fun questionnaire. If your anything like me (Bay Area Bride) you might be used to someone that responds to emails all throughout the day 😅 I was a little anxious because Meghan is not like that. She is very laid back and she absolutely wow’d us with the ceremony she performed!
I was pleasantly surprised by her professionalism and knowledge of the ceremony flow. Stepping aside during our vows and first kiss without any prompting ✨ Honestly, I can not recommend her highly enough!
I can’t tell you how many times my husband and I have said to each other that hiring Meghan was worth every penny. No exaggeration, from the first FaceTime call we were blown away....
There are so many little details involved in a ceremony that we were totally unaware of, from opening prayers, to unity rituals, how you walk down the aisle, etc. etc. Meghan lead us through everything and gave us time to consider what made the most sense for us. Our plan was to do a private ceremony in 2021 and a larger one with friends and family in 2022. We went into the smaller ceremony pretty casually, thinking we’d just do what we needed to get officially married and save the real “stuff” for next year. Meghan took the time to make even that little ceremony so special. It’s such a beautiful memory for us both and we’re so happy that it marks the beginning of our marriage.
Meghan was wonderful to work with. She was professional, punctual and so friendly! I am
So happy that we were able to have her as a part of our elopement story.
I wish I could give Meghan 10 stars! We found her rather last minute, but you would never know by the incredible heartfelt and personal ceremony she performed. She was so kind and ...
really got to know us, incorporated little details of our story into the ceremony, and was just so beautifully spoken! We got so many compliments on the ceremony itself, she was all anyone was talking about during cocktail hour, and we couldn’t be more thankful for her! She will forever be such a bright spot in our memory from our wedding day! Thank you so much Meghan, and if you are a Tahoe couple looking for a beautiful human to lead your ceremony, she is your gal!!!
Meghan officiated our elopement and we were extremely happy with her! We scheduled everything only 2 months in advance and she reached out to us very quickly after being contacted....
She scheduled a zoom meeting for the initial interview and then emailed us a list of questions that we each responded individually to. She used all of the details to create a personalized ceremony which included surprise details for each of us. We also had over a mile hike in the snow to get to our location and she remained positive and supportive throughout. She is very personable and worked great with our planner and photographers. We would highly recommend her!
Meghan made our special day everything we could have dreamed of and more! We eloped in Lake Tahoe with a group of close friends and family and the beautiful words she said during o...
ur ceremony made it even more special than we had imagined. She does a wonderful job at tying in the little details about you and your partner into the ceremony and she is so sweet and wonderful to work with. We would 100% recommend her!
