Moonstone Beach, Westhaven CA.

Concierge Service is perfect for couples who have a Bohemian or independent streak and want a celebration that reflects their unique style. The services are designed for DIY people who want to plan their own wedding, but need an officiant and help with the details. 


You will be able to create your special day and have a one-of-a-kind ceremony performed in the location that is perfect for the two of you. It's an honor to be involved in your marriage and I truly love helping people create the perfect experience for their special day.

Where do we find our perfect spot?

Why a wedding officiant who also offers concierge services?

Grizzly Creek Redwoods State Park.

Perfect spots have a way of finding you. Trust your hearts.


 Humboldt and Del Norte Counties together contain Redwood National and California State Parks spread the length of a 175 mile long scenic corridor. Towering giants and rugged, pristine Pacific coastline.


There  are so many beautiful locations among the majestic and beautiful  Redwoods. Or on one of the many beaches with their wonderful views. Or on one of the 7 wild rivers here on the north coast. 

You'll be able to find the perfect spot for your wedding.


Some  of my wedding officiant favorites include the Avenue of the Giants  in Humboldt RSP (Redwoods State Park), the old growth groves near the Visitor  Center at Prairie Creek RSP, and the Walker Road area of Jedediah Smith RSP.

How do we get a marriage license in California?

Will we need a permit in a State or National Park?

Grizzly Creek Redwoods State Park.

1) Go together with your ID to any County Clerk/Recorder in California. Get the Marriage License (so you can marry) and also the Application for the Marriage Certificate (proof that you did).

2) Bring the license on your wedding day, and give it to your Officiant before the ceremony.

3)  Have one (1) official Witnesses, not more than two (2). No witness is required with a Confidential Marriage License. Minimum age is 5 years old.

4) After the ceremony the Witness(es) & Officiant sign the License. 

5) The Officiant returns the completed license within 10 business days.

6) After your marriage is recorded, you can order your Marriage Certificate from the County Clerk/Recorder in the County in which you got your Marriage License. Ask the County Clerk where you get the License.

Why do weddings cost more than elopements?

Trinity Alps Wilderness Area.

I fond that there is a higher level of energy required for a group of people when the setting  is bigger than intimate. For me, that number is at about 30 people. Weddings also require the ability to help a large group feel as if they are in an intimate setting while they participate in the shared experience of watching a loved one say their vows.
