It was funny and filled with sweet little details about my husband and I. Alan and his assistants were quick, professional, kind, accommodating, and flexible. They deserve way more than 5 stars for their business. If you want a fun, gorgeous, personalized, stress free, and affordable wedding, these are the people for you!!!

My new wife and I were thrilled. His humor matched our own and made our experience truly great. We had a wonderful beach-side wedding, and when we got to the location on 72nd Place Beach it was set up as beautifully as we were promised.

I couldn't have imagined a more streamlined and effortless experience in both having been matched with a priest to preside over our wedding and in procuring our marriage license. The Great Officiants office was highly responsive. Thank you to everyone over at Great Officiants!

We had a beach wedding on Manhattan Beach. Alan provided referrals for all needed areas such as photography, florists, etc. Being from out of state, this was most helpful and appreciated. His referrals were professional, prompt, helpful and friendly. Alan and his team are good at what they do!
