Frequently asked questions

  • Yes. With Perfect Promise or The Unity Vow, we write your ceremony around your story and the tone you want. The Unity Vow adds one or more unity rituals, each with its own wording. Our other packages follow a set structure with lighter customization.

  • English, Spanish, or bilingual. If you go bilingual, you choose how the two languages are mixed.

  • Most ceremonies run under 30 minutes. That’s long enough to feel meaningful without anyone checking the time.

  • Warm and romantic, with some light humor when it fits. Ceremonies are non-religious unless you ask for faith elements, and we’re happy to include them.

  • Yes. A rehearsal is an optional add-on: $100, or $50 with The Unity Vow. We walk everyone through the ceremony and answer questions. It’s also a good time to fill out your marriage license and sworn statement, so there’s no paperwork on the wedding day.

  • Yes. We work with your planner, coordinator, or DJ so the ceremony fits the day’s timeline. We usually arrive 30 minutes before the ceremony to check in and get set up.

  • We make sure your license is filled out correctly and submit it to the county within two business days of your wedding. Then we stay in touch with the county until it’s received and processed.

    A public marriage license needs at least one witness. A confidential license doesn’t need any.

  • Yes. Once your license is processed, you can order certified copies of your marriage certificate from the county. If you live out of town and want yours mailed, Jorge can notarize the sworn statement that goes with your request.

  • We mainly serve the Central Valley and nearby areas. Depending on where you’re getting married, there may be a travel fee. We’ll go over it during your consultation, before you book.

  • Absolutely. Every couple is welcome, and we would be honored to celebrate you.

  • Jorge plans every ceremony. Yours may be led by Jorge or another officiant on our team, and we’ll tell you who ahead of time.

  • Start with a consultation. Then you’ll get a proposal and agreement. A $100 deposit holds your date and goes toward your total, and the rest is due 30 days before your wedding.

  • If the officiant service is part of your Wedgewood package at Casa del Rio or Fresno Fields, you are already booked with us. Visit our Wedgewood page to see what happens next.
