And if you're not sure where to start, we've got an abundance of ideas and resources for you. As your wedding officiant, our role is to implement your wishes, provide you with resources, answer your questions and facilitate a smooth and worry-free wedding ceremony. We promise to keep you and stress as far apart from each other as possible on your wedding day.
You'll work one-on-one with your chosen wedding officiant. All of Lyssabeth's San Francisco Bay Area wedding officiants (read our bios here) obtained our minister credentials solely for the purpose of legally performing weddings. We come from backgrounds that include public speaking, teaching, event-planning, counseling, writing and the arts. Our excellence at what we do stems from our passion, our experience, our creativity and our open-mindedness.

We'll get to know you so that we can tell your unique love story on your wedding day in the most creative, inspirational way possible. We utilize our listening skills, creativity, humor, experience and can-do attitude to create a wedding ceremony that will be exactly as you want it every step of the way. And, because we are group of affiliated wedding officiants under the same umbrella, we always have a back-up officiant in the unlikely event that an emergency prevents your assigned officiant from being there on your wedding day.
We've been in business since 2001 and we are one of the largest group of professionally licensed wedding officiants in the Bay Area. We guarantee to be there when you need us.
Our officiants are based throughout the Bay Area. For our Premium and Classic customized ceremonies, we do not charge per mile travel fees for travel of under 100 round-trip miles from the officiant's home to the ceremony site. Beyond that, we charge $.50 per mile. We make every effort to match you with the officiant closest to your site. If there are travel fees incurred, you will know the exact amount before you commit to booking us.
Our wedding officiants perform ceremonies in San Francisco and throughout the Bay Area. When we suggest an officiant match for you, we take the following into consideration: your preference (of course!) availability, and location.
Our budget-priced Elopement and Basic ceremonies are only performed within 15 miles of the closest officiant's home office. Contact us to see if your location qualifies.
