My micro wedding exceeded my expectations

My wife and I were so grateful we found Brian, we always wanted to get married in Monterey because it holds a special place in our heart, it’s where we got engaged. We were so excited to find Brian he was a great help and willing to change things last minute and he was so accommodating as well when I was running late 20 minutes. The ceremony it self was so beautiful he truly expressed how my wife and I felt without meeting us first until the day of. We are so grateful and thankful to have found him. I will be recommending his services to my family and friends.

Brian is awesome!!

We were so glad to have Brian officiate our small ceremony! He walked us through every step of the process and was responsive and thorough with any questions we had both before and after the wedding day. He was very professional and had a kind, calming presence. Our ceremony was perfect!!

Thank you so much, Brian!
