Ceremonies & Pricing
A ceremony as unique as your love story.
No one else will ever share the vows you will share. Whatever we do in the creation of your ceremony, it should reflect the perfection of the life you are creating together.
The "It's All Love" experience
Custom Ceremony
As you undertake your marriage — a marriage that will be as unique as the two of you — it seems fitting to offer you the widest range of possibilities for the actual ceremony.
We begin with your Love Story. One of the things I love to do with my couples is have them tell me how they met, sometimes together, sometimes individually. When those two views are put together, guests love it — and so do you. Your ceremony becomes a reflection of who you are as a couple.
From there we add whatever belongs: personal vows, readings, prayers, words to family and friends, and any unity ritual you desire. Religious or non-religious, recommitment ceremonies and non-traditional themes are all available.
- Unlimited consultations
- Your personal Love Story, custom written
- Choice of a pre-written ceremony or the Wedding Choices file
- Rehearsal (when available)
- Any unity ritual you desire
- Presentation of your ceremony, license filing and follow-up
Simple, sincere, unhurried
Elopement
For many couples my pre-written Elopement Ceremony is ideal. It’s a beautiful, non-religious ceremony that is perfect for those who want to spend more effort on celebrating your union and less time selecting words.
You can even add your personal vows and we are ready to go. You select from religious or non-religious ceremonies, non-traditional or even recommitment ceremonies. This is your wedding — you should have the options you want.
If you do not have a venue and want to go easy on your budget, I have two beautiful settings right here at my home in Fallbrook. Each one easily supports up to twenty guests.
- Beautiful pre-written ceremony (about 14 minutes)
- Religious or non-religious options
- Add your personal vows if you wish
- Marriage license filing and follow-up
- Small-gathering venues available in Fallbrook
Our exclusive build-your-own package
Wedding Choices
My exclusive “Wedding Choices” package puts you in complete control of what is said. You will receive, via e-mail, a package containing every element of a wedding you could desire. As you scroll through the package, simply delete what you do not want in your wedding. What remains is your unique ceremony.
Choices include vow styles, readings, scripture, prayers, words to family and friends, and rituals — and you do it right from your computer. No one else will ever share the vows you will share. This can be your completed ceremony or a starting point.
There is also a place within Wedding Choices which honors a new blended family, and a moment to remember family members who have passed on yet remain an essential part of who we are.
- The complete Wedding Choices file, delivered by e-mail
- Vow styles, readings, prayers and rituals to choose from
- Space to honor children and loved ones who have passed
- Unlimited consultations
- Marriage license filing and follow-up

Your go-to person
Simple, rewarding, hassle-
free.
As a professional wedding officiant, my goal is to work with you to create the perfect ceremony — one which reflects who you are as a couple. I offer no-obligation consultations to learn what’s important to you, then help you incorporate your special touches into your wedding ceremony.
Threading your way through the details of planning is sometimes very challenging. What would it be like if you had a “go-to” person to help you untangle the details? That’s just what you get with Love Is, Weddings.
- How long should a ceremony be?
- How do we get a marriage license?
- Who is responsible for properly filing the license?
- When can we get our copies?
- Can a cousin do a reading during the ceremony?
Selecting an officiant
Price is part of the equation —
only part.
- Does your officiant work with you to create the perfect ceremony?
- Does your officiant have the experience to help you get it right the first time?
- Are they willing to help you avoid common pitfalls?
- Can your officiant adapt to unforeseen issues during your ceremony?
- Is your officiant there for you — or to become the center of attention?

“Reverend Brian was great, he is so kind and made everything so easy. He gave us great advice and provided many examples of different ceremony styles for us to browse through. He also reminded us to get our marriage license application on time.” — Breanna H.

Presenting Gifts
Honoring family
Everyone who matters has
a place.
If you would like to include children from one or both sides, there is a place within Wedding Choices which honors your new family and underscores that while you are getting married, your children are an essential part of your union.
Often we have family members who have passed on, yet who are still an essential part of who we are. They too have a place in your wedding, if you choose. We can take a moment to reflect upon their importance in your lives.
Beyond the traditional
Renewals, destinations &
out-of-the-box celebrations.
Recommitment Ceremonies
One of the most loving things a couple can do is to renew their vows. A ceremony with family and friends who know you both as a couple is a deeply spiritual and heart-expanding event. After the test of time, our emotions are fuller, our understandings deeper. What a wonderful gift to give yourselves — as an anniversary gift, a birthday gift, or as a gift to the young people around you to demonstrate that while weddings can be an event, marriage is something which must be earned through commitment.
Destination Weddings
If your dream is to celebrate your wedding at an exotic location — Hawaii, Bali, or whatever your desire — I am available to travel. Rather than depend upon the officiant in some far-off place to do your vows the way you want, let's create the ceremony here and pack our bags.
Out-of-the-Box Ceremonies
If it is in your nature to hold your wedding in an unusual setting, I can support you fully. The possibilities are unlimited: skydiving weddings, beachfront weddings, mountain-top weddings, hot air ballooning, wine country, or park weddings. If you have a hankering for an out-of-the-box ceremony, let's talk.
Beyond the traditional
All paths. All love.
- Spiritual weddings
- Non-religious weddings
- Same-sex weddings
- Interfaith weddings
- Civil weddings
- Recommitment weddings
