We've had the incredible honor of performing weddings at some of Southern California's most spectacular venues, including Disneyland, beautiful oceanfront resorts, historic landmarks, and breathtaking beaches. One of our most magical experiences was officiating a wedding right in front of Sleeping Beauty Castle at Disneyland! But whether we're standing in front of a castle or barefoot on the beach, every wedding is special because no two love stories are ever the same!
Weddings, weddings, and more weddings! We absolutely LOVE celebrating love! Whether it's a romantic beachfront elopement, a grand ballroom celebration, a traditional religious ceremony, or a wildly fun themed wedding with superheroes, pirates, or even Darth Vader, we're all about creating unforgettable moments. Our favorite weddings are the ones where couples laugh, cry happy tears, and walk away saying, "That was SO us!"
Great Officiants was founded in 2003 by award-winning Wedding Officiant and entertainer Alan Katz, who combined his passion for public speaking, entertainment, and bringing people together to create something truly special. What started as one man's mission to make wedding ceremonies more personal, meaningful, and FUN has grown into one of Southern California's leading Wedding Officiant companies. Today, our team of nearly 40 professional officiants performs over 1,500 weddings annually, and we've earned more than 4,000 five-star reviews, national awards, and appearances on major television shows!
We're not your average Wedding Officiants, and that's exactly the point! We believe your wedding ceremony should be the HIGHLIGHT of your wedding, not the boring part everyone sits through waiting for cocktail hour!
With nearly 40 talented officiants, we offer everything from romantic and traditional ceremonies to hilarious, heartfelt, bilingual, interfaith, and completely customized celebrations.
Want a Catholic priest? We've got you. A rabbi? Absolutely. A bilingual ceremony? No problem. Want Darth Vader to marry you? May the vows be with you!
With over 4,000 five-star reviews and more than two decades of experience, we know how to make couples laugh, cry, and remember their ceremony forever.

Absolutely! In fact, that's what we do BEST! No cookie-cutter ceremonies here! Every couple has a unique love story, and we believe their wedding ceremony should reflect their personalities, traditions, cultures, and sense of humor.

Our goal is simple: You enjoy your special day, and we'll take care of making your ceremony unforgettable!
The sooner, the better! Popular wedding dates, especially weekends during peak wedding season, can book up months or even a year in advance.
