We were so lucky to have had Roya officiate our wedding in October and would highly recommend her to any couple who is currently planning their wedding! Roya finds a beautiful balance between being professional AND being a supportive friend who is excited to be part of your day. During each planning call and upon finally meeting her in person, Roya keeps what is most important at top of mind by reminding you "we are here to celebrate your love!" While planning, she provides such thoughtful guidance, options and ideas to really customize your ceremony and experience of getting married. During the wedding day, she couples her masterful public speaking skills with her calm, friendly energy that is infectious and helps everyone there feel welcome and excited. She knew exactly what to do with the marriage certificate, which we appreciated because you can't make any mistakes!

Instead of a religious ceremony, we really wanted to focus on our personal connection to nature and the peace it brings us, and our wedding was outside so this was a perfect fit. I come from a catholic background while my husband does not, so Roya gently suggested we give a nod to religion once and only one during the ceremony by inviting our guests to greet the ones around them. I thought that was beautiful.

Roya carefully drafts her ceremony script based on questionnaires that you and your partner fill out separately, and she shows it to you ahead of time so you can edit if you want to. We both teared up reading her beautiful words the first time, and had little to no edits! She did a phenomenal job capturing our connection and our words about eachother, and we still have the script to read back on our anniversaries.

I will also mention that she did a great job with time management of the ceremony as were both a little nervous to stand in front of everyone, and wanted to keep the ceremony short so she devised the script accordingly. Many of our guests came up to us after to say it was one of the best ceremonies they have attended, that they loved Roya's energy and her beautiful words! It feels good knowing that not only was it memorable for us, but for our guests too.

Though we have no plans to renew our vows, I find myself wanting to somehow work with Roya again!! (and I can't say that about all of our wedding vendors lol) If I can lend any advise to another couple who is considering hiring Roya to officiate their wedding it is to book her and don't look back! Allow Roya to guide you through the process and facilitate *joy* on your special day.

Roya proved to be an exceptional officiant, making the entire process seamless and stress-free. My husband and I initially struggled to find an officiant whose package aligned with our specific needs. However, Roya quickly tailored a package that perfectly suited us. Her professionalism shone through as she effortlessly met all deadlines and collaborated closely with us to create a ceremony that felt truly personalized. On the day of the event, Roya's presence felt like having a close friend guiding us toward marriage. She was a calming presence at the altar , and her warm, friendly nature made our intimate ceremony all the more memorable. Additionally, Roya's expertise in bridging cultures and bringing families together was evident as all the cultural elements, both Persian and Mexican, we wanted to include were woven perfectly into our ceremony. We couldn't be happier with how everything turned out, thanks in large part to Roya.

Roya officiated our Persian ceremony in Napa and was truly a pleasure to work with! She knew exactly how to create a seamless flow with our American officiant and had great ideas for our ceremony structure. She brought joy, beauty, and laughter to our ceremony through her words, and she captured our vision perfectly. I can't recommend working with Roya enough!
