Simple Ceremonies of Orange County specializes in non-denominational, interfaith, and secular ceremonies for weddings and vow renewals. Our goal is to give you the perfect ceremony regardless of faith, background, or orientation.

Our ceremony packages include a personalized ceremony script, a rehearsal (if necessary), and the officiating of your ceremony on the day of your event. You will also receive a commemorative marriage certificate signed by your officiant and witnesses post ceremony.

Absolutely! Offering customized services is not only our greatest joy, it is the backbone of our company. Simple Ceremonies of Orange County encourages couples to customize their ceremony to reflect their unique love story. We work with each couple to create a ceremony that is tailored to their preferences. We have several scripts we can use as a template to assist with setting the tone of your ceremony. All can be modified to include any rituals or traditions that speak to you. 

Absolutely. I proudly officiate weddings for all couples, regardless of gender or orientation. Love is love.

Yes! I offer full support with vow writing and ceremony customization. I can provide samples, help you write from scratch, or assist in editing what you've already written. 

I tailor the ceremony to your beliefs—whether you're interfaith, spiritual but not religious, secular, or want to include specific traditions or rituals. We’ll create something meaningful that feels true to you. 

Definitely! From unity candles to handfasting, sand ceremonies, cultural blessings, or custom rituals, I’m happy to incorporate any meaningful traditions you’d like to include. 

The earlier the better, especially for popular dates. I recommend booking at least 3–6 months in advance, but I may have last-minute availability—don’t hesitate to ask! 

My fee includes a customized ceremony, planning meetings, vow support, travel within a set radius, and officiating on your big day. I also offer optional add-ons like rehearsal attendance or ceremony writing only. Please reach out for a full pricing guide. 

Yes, I’m an ordained officiant and legally recognized to perform weddings in [your state/region]. If you're marrying elsewhere, let’s verify the local requirements together. 

Yes! I’m happy to officiate symbolic ceremonies, vow renewals, or commitment rituals that don’t involve legal paperwork—perfect for those already married, eloping abroad, or celebrating in a unique way. 

Rehearsal attendance is available upon request and is highly recommended for larger or more formal weddings. It allows us to walk through the ceremony, coordinate with your planner or venue, and ensure everything flows smoothly on the big day. 

Yes! I provide a full draft of your ceremony script for review. You’re welcome to request changes or additions so it feels just right. Your voices and vision are at the heart of everything I create. 

I do! Virtual ceremonies are a beautiful option for long-distance couples, elopements, or symbolic celebrations. I’m happy to craft a meaningful experience via Zoom or other platforms, whether legal or purely ceremonial. 

In the rare event of an emergency, I have a trusted network of professional officiants I can refer or arrange as a backup. Your ceremony is too important to leave to chance—I always have a plan in place.
