Weddings Royale

Ryan and Valerie Kingsman are the dynamic duo behind Weddings Royale, an award-winning husband and wife officiant team specializing in luxury wedding celebrations. As acclaimed love storytellers, they have mastered the art of creating personalized, meaningful ceremonies for over a thousand couples. Based in Orange County, they travel throughout California and to destination events.

We cannot recommend Ryan enough.From our first conversation, he exceeded our expectations in every way. Communication with him was always easy, thoughtful, and professional. When we first started looking for an officiant, we assumed it would be a one size fits all experience but Ryan and his wife completely changed that perception. He took the time to really get to know us, and because of that, he created a ceremony that felt incredibly personal, meaningful, and true to who we are as a couple. His attention to detail and genuine care made our wedding ceremony not just a formality, but one of the most special parts of the entire day. And as a bonus in the words of my husband “presentation was sharp” Ryan looked great, carried himself with confidence, and brought the perfect energy to our big day. Thank you, Ryan, for making our wedding unforgettable. You helped us start this new chapter with love, warmth, and a ceremony that truly reflected our hearts.

I am a retired professional with a background in law and hospitality, holding degrees from Brigham Young University, Wake Forest University, and UNC School of Law.

Love Story Vows

Vibrant and warmhearted Officiant Heidi, creates authentic ceremonies filled with romance, love, and laughter. She will capture your personal love story. Heidi has married over 1300 people since 2016.

My husband and I had so much fun working with Heidi from Love Story Vows! From the moment we met Heidi and her wonderful photographer husband, Alan, we knew they were the perfect duo for our Safari Park wedding. They were helpful, communicative, and constantly positive. With Heidi's easy to follow resources and clear questionnaires and forms, together we created the most perfect, nature-centric ceremony. Many of our guests were blown away by our heartfelt ceremony and details of our love story. As a type A bride, Heidi and I had a lot of back and forth emails trying to get the ceremony just right, and she even added a special piece about the symbolism between the Safari animals and our marriage, something very important to us. I think we must have called to the animals, because the most serendipitous thing happened during the ceremony-- a parade of several giraffes came galloping along right behind us, right before I was going to say my vows. We were all completely awestruck, it was just the perfect moment. When we look back on our wedding day, we are blessed to have memories of Heidi's calming and reliable presence. She gave us water, positivity, and delivered the most beautiful ceremony. Our guests who had the chance to meet Heidi, shared with us what a kind person she was. Many also said they loved the tone of her voice and how she was very professional and had the audience in control. Heidi and Alan are both so knowledgeable about weddings, and with their help we felt confident that we had a solid timeline. We felt very well taken care of in their presence. Thank you!

Sam Does Weddings

  • Offers 9 ceremony types
  • Starts at $850
  • Serves Surfside, CA

Born in Australia, lived in Scotland, I've now been in the US for 10 years, I presided over my first wedding in 2016. Being asked by two of my oldest friends changed my life forever. But I was crazy nervous. That first ceremony elicited something inside of me I never expected. I LOVED, love! I had a feeling of pride and community I'd never experienced before. More and more friends asked me to officiate their weddings over the years until I finally said "frick it, maybe this is my thing." Becoming an officiant has been one of the most rewarding things I've done, experiencing your marriage ceremony with you is now something I look forward to.

I can't recommend Sam Does Weddings enough!! He was the perfect officiant: kind, humorous, patient and most of all understanding! From the moment we chose Sam, he was always available and had genuine care and consideration for our relationship. He took the time to truly understand us as a couple and beautifully captured the essence of our relationship in the ceremony. We wanted a short, unplugged ceremony with the perfect balance of humor and heartfelt moments, and Sam delivered exactly that. He crafted a service that actually felt like us - not generic or overly formal, but filled with love and authenticity that resonated with everyone present. Throughout the planning process, Sam was incredibly helpful and responsive. He gently guided us to ensure we were hitting all the right notes while still giving us the flexibility to make the ceremony our own. He shaped and refined our own telling of our story into something truly special. I still get giddy thinking about when my husband and I read our ceremony script over a glass of wine at dinner! Though what truly sets Sam apart is his attention to detail and thoughtful touches - he even came prepped with a sneaky shot of our favorite drink for both of us right after we said "I do" which was MUCH needed (iykyk) If you're looking for an officiant who will take the time to understand your unique story, respect your wishes, and create a ceremony that perfectly reflects who you are as a couple, Sam is your person. We are, and always will be forever grateful to him :)

Hi, I'm Lilian Argueta—a proud Guatemalan American, native Angelina, and the heart behind L+A Union Ceremonies. I’ve always believed in the power of human connection and the importance of honoring it with authenticity, care, and soul. I’ve been a certified officiant since 2017, and my path to this work has been anything but traditional—in the best way. L+A stands for Luz y Amor—light and love in Spanish. It’s more than a name; it’s a belief system. I believe we are all energy, all light…and when two people come together in love, something truly magical happens. That magic deserves to be witnessed and celebrated with intention & creativity.

L A Union Ceremonies were the perfect officiants for our wedding. From our first interaction, the communication was thorough, thoughtful, and prompt. The officiant, Lilian, took the time to learn about our whole relationship history in order to craft a truly personalized and meaningful ceremony. She was extremely helpful in translating our vision into an expertly executed reality, ensuring each section of the ceremony felt intentional and special. Her attention to detail and dedication to making our day perfect was evident throughout the entire process. We couldn't have asked for a better officiant to help us celebrate our love!

I am passionate about officiating creative, soulful ceremonies about you and your relationship that also include a touch of fun. No template weddings here! I believe your ceremony should be about you - personal to your style and your story.

Roxanne is unparalleled at her craft. It's no surprise she has copious 5-star reviews on this platform and rave reviews across the internet. We cannot recommend Roxanne enough. She was responsive, easy to work with, understood our vision and made every ceremonial decision (from choosing her to special touches) easier than we ever could have imagined. What's more? Her clever, sweet, directive, kind, compassionate and authoritative approach makes her a dream wedding partner amidst so much stress. Roxanne is thorough yet doesn't overcomplicate. She's witty yet sincere in her delivery. When we left the ceremony space, my mother and multiple other guests said that it was the most beautiful ceremony they had ever been to. It was because Roxanne was at the helm. Her stage presence is entertaining, her storytelling engaging, and her tone understated enough to ensure the bride and groom shine at every moment. We love Roxanne and she'll be a special part of our wedding journey forever. Don't think any further, just book with her. Hugs to all the brides and grooms to be, I know this is an overwhelming process. Roxanne will make it all better.

  • Serves Surfside, CA

Lawrence E. Adjah, MBA, M.Ed, M.Div. is a pastor, marriage counselor and best-selling author on relationships. Lawrence specializes in marriage counseling and one-on-one spiritual advisory. He approaches his guidance in a biblically based, structured, relatable, and systematic manner, with clear owned outcomes and next steps. Lawrence will guide you through the wedding planning process with warmth, intentionality and clarity. Lawrence offers a wide array of services to guide you through your wedding and beyond. He provides both wedding officiating services and vow renewals, as well as pre-marital counseling and ongoing marriage counseling.

My husband and I worked with Pastor Lawrence for a year of faith-based pre-marital counseling and had an amazing experience. We, like many couples, went into our first session thinking we’d already discussed the most important topics and we’d maybe need to do 3 formal pre-marital counseling sessions. Our first session was so impactful that we immediately decided that we wanted a full year of counseling. That decision, we believe, completely changed the trajectory of our marriage. Pastor Lawrence asked difficult, thought-provoking questions that helped us see our relationship (with each other and with God) in new ways, and each session left us feeling better equipped for marriage than we ever expected. His depth of knowledge, approachability, and ability to guide meaningful, relevant conversations aimed at aligning us as one—even when we thought we had nothing new to discuss—was truly a gift. We are so grateful for the wisdom and encouragement he poured into us throughout this process and would highly recommend him to any couple who is looking to build a strong, Christ-centered foundation going into their marriage.
