I’m Ariela, a queer wedding planner, officiant, and ceremonial guide based in Northern California. With 15+ years in community arts and creative production, I bring both logistical expertise and soulful presence to every celebration. My ceremonies weave together ritual, somatic grounding, and intentional design—so your wedding isn’t just an event, but a meaningful expression of your love and values.

“Ariela made our ceremony magical and deeply meaningful. From our first conversation, she listened carefully to our story and helped us weave rituals and symbols that truly reflected who we are. Her presence is calm, grounding, and joyful, making everyone feel included and cherished. Every detail was thoughtfully considered, and our ceremony felt intimate, unique, and full of heart. Ariela is more than an officiant—she is a guide, a creator, and a celebrant of love.”

Hello there! I'm Patrick, a professional wedding officiant based in Paso Robles, California...Our little drinking town, with a farming problem...but I do travel! I take absolute delight in helping make your wedding ceremony just as you envisioned it. After all, it's your special day! In addition to working as an officiant, I'm also the owner of a distillery in Paso Robles, a voice-over specialist, and I have a multiple-subject teaching credential. That's right, the booze making officiant!

“Patrick is amazing! He made everything so enjoyable and easy. He definitely kept things fun but still professional, both in first meeting him and on the day of the ceremony/during the ceremony. It was all super detailed to us as a couple. He's a really good dude inside and out. Very respectful too. We love this guy!”

Your ceremony doesn't have to be "cookie cutter" or "run of the mill." I work with all my couples to present a ceremony that truly reflects your relationship. My goal is to ensure that you and your guests experience a meaningful and entertaining wedding ceremony to start your special day.

“We hired Pamela to officiate our October wedding in Massachusetts after searching online for LGBTQ-friendly officiants, and she was absolutely amazing! From our very first meeting, we knew we had made the right choice. She was professional, experienced, reassuring, personable, and so easy to work with throughout the entire process. Pamela took the time to get to know us and crafted a ceremony that felt deeply personal and true to our love story, which was so special. Several of our guests commented on how captivating the ceremony was and were surprised to learn that we hadn’t known Pamela beforehand. She also guided us through the marriage license process and made it very easy and stress-free. We would highly recommend her to any engaged couple looking for a thoughtful, inclusive, and exceptional officiant. Thank you, Pamela!”
