AWARD WINNER (2X)
Thanks to recommendations from couples on The Knot
I am known in San Diego for creating fun and memorable ceremonies. Who wants a boring ceremony?
I like to something special like Handfastings or Unity Element. They really give the ceremony that something extra that your guests and you will always remember. If totally traditional is your vibe, we can do that too!
My fee covers creating your ceremony, (we will work together to create your unique ceremony) - Officiating on the big day and making it legal by completing and filing the marriage license. (There is a discount if it is a non-legal wedding)
I welcome open communication from beginning to end. You can make changes or whatever you like so that the ceremony is just as you want it.
As a proud member of the LGBTQ+ community I welcome all couples! Love is love!
Based in San Diego, CA, Officiant Donna- San Diego, CA offers wedding officiant services.

We loved the way she kept communicating with us through the whole process and every conversation we had with her felt so personal and made us comfortable and know we had made the right decision. She truly brought professional and experience to our special day and our ceremony really felt like it was filled with love.

Donna was an excellent officiant, very professional and lovely to work with. Working on the ceremony script was stress free and she incorporated all of our changes that we asked for. Everyone at the wedding asked how long we've known Donna for because she was that friendly and personable, the guest were shocked that we responded we just met her in person the day of our wedding. Thank you Donna for a lovely ceremony at the Bahia, friends and family said it was the perfect place.
Love Lindsey and Amber

We chose Donna based on other great reviews and are so glad we did. She is very easy to work with, helped us come up with our vows, made some great suggestions including doing a hand-fasting at the end of the ceremony. She is very flexible and worked around the constraints of a small living room in the home we were married. She clearly enjoys her work and did an outstanding job!

We chose her especially for her knowledge of a hand fasting ceremony which was a beautiful addition to our ceremony. Donna created a wonderful ceremony including the personal touches we wanted to add. She was easy to work with, receptive, relaxed, and helped us have the most perfect ceremony for us. We give our highest recommendation to Donna.”

Donna was so sweet and funny. She accommodated our last minute schedule changes TWICE. She told us exactly what we needed to do in preparation for the wedding. She frequently checked in with us and was easy to communicate with. She gave us an outline of what she planned to say during the ceremony and welcomed feedback. She was a joy to work with and a perfect addition to our wedding.

Like many couple this year, we had some struggles with vendors due to COVID. After our second officiant backed out for COVID-related issues a month before the wedding, Donna saved us and provided us with exactly the ceremony we wanted. She was on time and professional, I couldn't recommend her more. It was one less thing for me to worry about which was exactly what I needed.

I would highly recommend Donna. She was just amazing. I had to reschedule my wedding a few times due to covid and when I needed an officiant, Donna was there for us. She was more than just on time, she was there earlier than expected. She was very professional and she made our ceremony very memorable. She touched on every detail we had discussed prior to the ceremony and was very responsive when I had questions. If you are looking for an officiant, Donna is the person I would hire!!

We booked Donna last minute a few weeks before our wedding. We were fortunate that she was available for our date. From the first phone call with Donna we both felt so comfortable, she emits a warm, kind and welcoming aura! We were able to work with her to create a beautiful ceremony that was very personal and absolutely perfect.
Thank you, Donna!!

Donna was AMAZING! One of our major requirements was to hire an Officiant that was not only professional but also fun and light-hearted. My wife and I have a fun loving relationship and Donna delivered with her great personality and service to reflect just that throughout our entire ceremony process. She also took time to learn about our journey together and was super flexible to work with us to make changes to her officiant script. For us, the definition of love is NOT being lovy-dovy and zen'd out with each other and the universe. For US, love is young, love is old, love is joy, love is happiness, and most importantly love is FUN! Out of all the officiants we interviewed, she was not only the best but the only one that had this important requirement we were looking for - keeping it fun, simple, unique, personable, and lighthearted. It definitely set the tone for our fun ceremony and reception to follow. In addition to all these, she was a great partner to align on timelines, introduced a great idea to add hand fasting to our ceremony, and took us through the marriage license process. Thank you Donna for being part of our story! Mr. & Mrs. Moreno. =)

We are so happy that we picked Donna to be the officiant for our wedding. She helped us create an intimate way to communicate our love for one another. We choose the Handfasting ceremony which was beautiful and gave us a lasting symbol of our special day that we have hanging in a place of honor within our home. She was easy to work with and quick to respond to our questions as we finalized our vows. On the day of the ceremony she put us at ease (especially the groom) and, as a result, made the ceremony relaxed and fun. We would recommend Donna to any couple that is looking for an officiant to provide a memorable and meaningful wedding ceremony.

Donna was amazing to work with!
We originally planned to have her for a ceremony + reception on 10/10/2020. However, due to circumstances, we decided to cancel everything but a small, private handfasting ceremony. She cooperated with our changes, stayed in contact at all times, and showed up early for our big day! I couldn't ask for a better officiant <3
Thank you so much for making our day special, even if it wasn't how we originally planned it!
