We understand, the family contributes to a strong marriage foundation, and we like to include family members (Father’s, Mother's, Children, Grandparents) and at times Friends or Co-workers, in the ceremony by incorporating specialty ceremonies such as the “Salt Covenant”, “Unity Candle Lighting”, “Rose Exchange”, “Vow Exchange”, “Unity Cord Braid”, “Unity Sand”, “Coin and Veil”, “Cord and Veil”, “Jumping the Broom”, and “Breaking the glass”. Our trained wedding official William Ward loves what he does, and he treats each ceremony as if it is a work of art.

He has a Bachelor's Degree in theology, and he has experience from being a former pastor.

William was a dream officiant, I couldn’t imagine our day being as special without his assistance. Leading up to the day he always checked in with us to see if anything changed. He had a great understanding of what we needed. William was always responsive when we had questions or concerns. He arrived at our wedding location early and had the ceremony planned out perfect. Thank you so much William for your hard work and passion. We will never forget our wedding day

Hi Family, Thank you so much for the review and for posting a picture of us together. It was an AMAZING day, and I had great conversations with your family. Sorry, I could not have a meal with everyone, due to having to do another wedding after yours. Overall, it was a beautiful wedding! Congratulations to you and I will call you on our Anniversary in a year. William

William was undoubtedly the best person for the job and went above and beyond to make our day not just special, but perfect! William is well seasoned with more than 20+ years of experience, and despite living very far from our wedding location, with weekend traffic, he actually showed up almost an hour earlier than expected and even helped me finish getting my bow tie tied right before the ceremony. Before we hired William we actually interviewed 4 other officiants and he was undeniably the most prepared, most experienced, and best dressed. He was always available for texts, calls, and emails, and very easy to understand and work with. Because we got married over the weekend, he also offered his services to safely deliver our marriage license while we were on our flight to Hawaii for our honeymoon. He had our backs every step of the way and unlike other officiants, William offered to meet on Zoom after our initial phone call. He is very very organized and timely, and he actually guided us leading up to the big day, even reminding us to get our license and writing multiple drafts of the special words he said about our love story. While we eloped and had a small intimate ceremony with only William and two photographers, he normally works with larger parties and even celebrities here in the Bay Area. He worked well with everyone, made us laugh, and we felt honored to have his wisdom guide us through this sacred process. William also offered multiple outfit options so that he would look perfect next to us in our wedding photos. He also brought a portable speaker which was great backup plan to our sound system. Lastly he even made some suggestions for us walking down the aisle on the day of and we loved his idea. If you are getting married I HIGHLY recommend you work with William. There are many people that make themselves sound good on the internet and over the phone, but William is a tenured professional unlike anyone else we tried to work with. He has all of the wisdom and care needed to make your day truly special, and for me he essentially became my best man. He calls all of his clients "Family" and follows up with you on every anniversary. I can think of no one better for the job, William was amazing at every step of the process!

Hi Family, It was an honor to be your Officiant. Your family was awesome, and I hate that I couldn't stay to enjoy some of those tacos. I look forward to working with your family on the next wedding, and it will be amazing also.

We found William at the last minute after our officiant could not make it days before the wedding. From the first time we talked to him, we had no doubt in our minds that he was a great person and made us feel at ease. William was very open and communicated openly about the expectations for the rehearsal and ceremony. He added a few things that we would not have thought of. He even sent a script for our approval before the ceremony and we received a personalized surprise gift after the ceremony. We were very pleased with his professionalism and attention to detail. We highly recommend him for any couple that needs an officiant. Thank you William for making our celebration amazing!!
