About
On WeddingWire since 2015
The Social Wedding Officiant, based in San Diego, California, offers heartfelt wedding officiating services.
Hey Guys, I know choosing an officiant is tough. Check out my pictures and reviews and see what you think. I hope my reviews will serve as an endorsement of my work and passion. Honestly, I got into the wedding "BIZ" because I was sick of sitting through tedious ceremonies! All in my 20s, it was one boring ceremony over and over. Don't let that be your ceremony. Let's ensure your wedding feels like a celebration of love, not a lecture. If you hire me, you will be glad you did. We will have a blast, and your ceremony will be fun and upbeat but, at the same time, intimate for you guys. I custom-write every single ceremony based on your love story.
The Social Wedding Officiant has been in the wedding industry since 2014 and has received the Wedding Wire Couples Choice Award every year of business.
A Little About Me
I am happily married to my best friend, Megan. We both grew up in Orange County and now live in San Diego, where I am a Pastor at Canyon Springs Church in Scripps Ranch. We have two amazing girls, Ayven and Sage. I love surfing, golfing, reading, playing with my kids, and Korean barbecue (my guilty pleasure).
The ceremony was the most valued and special part of our wedding for my wife and me. I want you to be able to say those same words when reminiscing about your wedding day. Each ceremony I do is crafted uniquely for the couple and is based on their love story. Anyone can read some vows and make it official. When you hire me, you are hiring a communicator—I will connect with your audience, make it personal, and still keep it concise.

Choose Chad!
Right off the bat, we had a really good feeling about Chad. We met up with him and got to know him a little better before making our decision. Outside of his obvious passion for his work, it became abundantly clear that Chad was very personable, genuine, and an overall great person. It was a no-brainer decision to choose him and that decision was fully vindicated come ceremony time.
Chad will customize your vows and ceremony however you like, and really goes above and beyond to ensure that your big day comes and goes without incident. He is very professional and thorough, but also makes sure that the day is all about the happy couple.
If you're still contemplating who to have officiate your wedding/elopement, STOP. Choose Chad, you won't regret it!

A great company to work with. We highly recommend. Thank you Solace Weddings LLC
Chad was a pleasure to work with! He officiated an incredible elopement I was photographing earlier this year. We hiked out to a mountain top in the freezing cold with our clients, and he was so positive and fun the whole time! It was such a pleasure to work along side him, I can't recommend him enough!
