We hired Andrew to officiate our June 2022 wedding. Upon contacting him through his website he was quick to respond even though he was out of town. We set up a zoom meeting and he was very kind and informative when he showed us a very detailed example of a wedding script. We were able to customize our script and he was very prompt in his replies via email. Our ceremony was great and he took care of mailing our marriage license and shared the tracking number with us. Highly recommend Andrew!
We met Andrew at our friend's wedding and I was fascinated by his speech and his temperament. I immediately ask him to be our wedding officiant. We chose the "Wonderful Wedding" package because I like the personalized love store. All processes were simple and smooth through the website and zoom. He guided and explained every detail to us and let us customize our wedding process after that. I would like to thank him to perform a professional and humorous wedding ceremony for us!
Andrew was absolutely wonderful as our officiant. We were so happy to have found him. His process was simple and easy, he laid out everything we'd need for our special day. Everything was just too easy and simple for us.
Thank you Andrew for all that you did for us!
Cheers,

Hi all. A perfect wedding is a dream of every couple. This dream became true for us because Andrew helped to fulfill it. We were very fortunate to have Andrew as our wedding officiant. He did an excellent job which surprised not just us but the whole family. Before the actual event, he set up a video call so that we could get familiar with the process which was tremendously helpful. He tailored his wedding officiant script according to our wishes. We had a few Hindu prayers which were recited appropriately by Andrew with their meanings. It was a perfect wedding for us. He is punctual, patient and a good listener too. I would highly recommend everyone to contact Andrew to be the wedding officiant. Lots of blessings to Andrew!
Andy was very organized and it was easy to coordinate times to meet and discuss our ceremony.
All of our guests commented on how beautiful our ceremony was. Andy crafted a “love story” that was unique to us as a couple and that included tidbits from close family and friends. It really made our ceremony unique. Be sure to choose the “love story” option if you’re unsure which package to select!
Andrew Allen was absolutely amazing! We loved our customized ceremony script. He was very easy to contact, and was quick to respond to any questions and concerns. Very Professional and made our wedding day everything and more than we expected. Would Highly recommend to our family and friends.
Andrew was on time and very professional. He did an amazing job on the ceremony. He even accommodated last minute changes. 10 out of 10.
Andrew was professional, friendly and made the process a breeze, as I had many other things to worry about for the wedding. He sent over a ceremony script where I was able to edit and make it my own for the special day. He arrived not only on time, but early. He took care of all the paperwork with my witnesses and sent it all over. I highly recommend Andrew as your officiant. He is able to specialize your ceremony as you see fit and responds quickly!
My husband and I had reached out to Andrew before the pandemic to officiate our wedding that was supposed to be in May 2020. He was super quick to respond and very helpful. We met in person at a coffee shop and got to know him a little better and he showed us examples of how he would officiate our ceremony. Our wedding ended up being postponed twice due to covid and he was patient and understanding both times. We were finally able to get married May this year and he did a wonderful job officiating. The ceremony couldn’t have been more perfect. We were able to pick and choose what we wanted him to say and tailor it to fit our style for the ceremony. Andrew made things easy and smooth for us. We highly recommend him!
Andrew Allen was amazing! My husband and I really appreciate his job as an officiant. We knew after our first talk with Andrew he would be our officiant. He replied fast all of our messages and wrote the best ceremony for us, knowing I am Brazilian he made everything easier for me. Perfect for us, matching our personalities. Our ceremony was short, he helped us with a perfect spot and full of love.
My husband and I got married last Dec 2019 at SF City Hall. Similar to the experiences of other couples, prior our wedding day, instead of just speaking to us via email and throwing us a wedding script, he made time to meet us, took time to run through and explain each part of the ceremony, and gave us the flexibility to choose parts we want/didn't want, which made our day more meaningful. Not once did I feel like we were just another client to him, that everything is just another transaction.
I unfortunately didn't get to hire a wedding coordinator and was (secretly) stressing out on a particular vendor present during the ceremony, so I was surprised to see Andrew speaking to them, explaining the flow of the ceremony. He didn't have to do that (and I didn't ask him to) but I genuinely appreciate that he did because it was one less thing for this bridezilla to think about and coordinate on the day of our wedding. :-)
Thank you, Andrew! You are amazing!

Andrew was amazing! Very professional, responsive to messages, and incredibly flexible and accommodating to our sometimes uncertain timing. Very easy to talk to and really made our day special. He thinks of everything!!!! And he's one of the few officiant's serving our area. Sooooo pleased with him and his service!
Andrew was wonderful to work with! He was supportive of the type of wedding my husband and I imagined and guided us through all of the steps we need to take in order to have a beautiful ceremony. He was prepared when I wasn't! He even followed up with me after the wedding to share that the paperwork had been filed for us and the next steps in order to obtain our marriage certificate. Thanks to Andrew for officiating and being a part of our big day!
We got married in April 2019, and I can't stress enough how happy we have been to have Andrew as our officiant. He was extremely professional and very helpful during the preparation phase, and during the ceremony, he managed to keep a light but classy atmosphere.
I honestly could not think of a more perfect choice for my wedding.
Andrew did such a fantastic job incorporating everything we wanted into our wedding. He was attentive to detail, and really let us tell him exactly what we wanted him to say, always making us feel comfortable and happy with our choices. I would definitely recommend him, as this was one of the more challenging and personal vendors to choose for a wedding.
Andrew performed our wedding ceremony at Muir Woods in 2017. He was personable, arrived early, and performed the ceremony perfectly. We made a great choice in choosing him to perform our ceremony.
Andrew did an amazing job officiating our wedding. He took the time to get to know us before the ceremony, and made our ceremony very personable. Andrew brought many fresh ideas to add to the ceremony. We added the wine box with sealed letters to each other, and our guests never had seen that before and loved it. Great person to work with and highly recommend Andrew to anyone!
It was great to have Andrew as our wedding officiant. We wanted to make sure that our ceremony both did and didn't include certain things, and he worked with us to create a script that we really loved. He had a lot of experience as an officiant, and provided us with a lot of great options and ideas for the ceremony that we weren't even aware of before.
He was also a delight to work with throughout the process. He initially arranged a meeting to take us through his approach, ceremony options, and to get to know each other. Then we sent him our requests for items we wanted to include or take out of the ceremony, which he incorporated. On the day itself, he showed up on time, was very professional, and officiated the ceremony in a way that was very touching to our guests.
We really appreciated how smooth and stress-free it was to work with him, because when we were planning our wedding there were so many other things we had to worry about instead!
He was so awesome very sweet and made our wedding flow so good and not stressful at all and he was funny but serious when needed. Highly recommend
We are Yvette & Marc Guardado who renewed our Vows June 16, 2018 at the Viaggio Estate & Winery in Acampo Ca. From our first meeting with Andrew we were positive we had met our Officiant for our Special Day. He was punctual professional engaging encouraging with the most calming voice which helps the day of and sounds great on video! But more importantly, as many times as he has obviously done this, he made it very important to work with us to ensure our vision of that incredible moment in time, Our Ceremony, was all we could hope it could be! He was so easygoing and patient the day of our Wedding and that really made it all flow perfectly. We wanted Elegance and Style and appreciated him asking how we preferred everything done, even down to his attire matching our Groomsmen and Wedding Party. Please All interested, once you come across California Wedding Officiant, Look No Further!
Marc and I truly wish you all the Best in your future endeavors Andrew!
Me and my husband got married August 5th 2017, we where so happy we hired Andrew as our wedding officiant. He was so patient and understanding when our wedding started a little late. The ceremony was beautiful he made sure it was something we approved and loved. It was perfect. I definately recommend.
Andrew was so quick to respond as my fiance and I were searching for a while for the perfect person. We read reviews, went with our gut and seen he offered everything we wanted. He worked with us since we wanted a nondenominational ceremony and it was perfect. He is also goofy and makes you feel very comfortable in front of your family and friends. I would recommend him to anyone!
Andrew did a great job officiating our wedding! We interviewed several officiants on our way to finding Andrew. Most wanted to sing at our wedding, make it religious, charged far too much, or refused to work with a wedding planner.
When we initially called Andrew, we were relieved that he was a normal guy who just wanted to make our wedding perfect for us. He provided us with a sample script and provided us with resources to write our own vows. We ended up revising the sample script with bits and pieces from other samples we found.
He was professional, genuine, affordable, easy to work with, quick to respond, and showed up on time. Not much more we could've asked for in our officiant. He also sent in our licence for us and provided us with the tracking number for it after the wedding. We'd definitely recommend Andrew!
We were so lucky to have Andrew as our Wedding Officiant on the big day. Andrew is very professional, patient and easy to work with. He gave us a lot good tips and suggestions during the Facetime meeting (we totally forgot to get our marriage license until he reminded us!). He's very punctual for the online meeting and arrived 2.5 hours earlier on the wedding day. Andrew's calm energy and sense of humor let us through a smooth and elegant ceremony. He sent out the marriage license to the county clerk the next day as he promised. Highly recommended! :)
