Officially Yours

My husband and I got married just a few weeks ago. We found Steve on Unilocal and after reading his great reviews I booked a meeting with him. He is a very busy man but he made it a priority to squeeze us in due to our conflicting schedules. After meeting with him, we instantly knew we wanted him at our wedding. He was lively, upbeat, and funny. He made things very easy, he emailed us a packet where we were able to mix and match each and every part of the ceremony. It was personalized yet easy on us. We had so many decisions and things going on that we didn’t want to add on to that. So his set up worked perfectly for us! He showed up to our wedding an hour early to get all the last minute details taken care of ahead of time. Took both my husband and I aside separately and went over exactly how things would go once we got down the aisle. He kept our ceremony lively and upbeat yet professional. He gave us a souvenir marriage certificate on the day of and took care of everything else, he mailed in our marriage license paperwork and we receive it by mail a couple weeks later. Afterwards, we found out that he had officiated two of my husbands cousins weddings. He is becoming a family tradition to have at our weddings! Would definitely recommend him in the future!

Steve was a pleasure to meet with and so professional. It was by far one of the best decisions we made to have Officially Yours officiate our wedding. We clicked with Steve instantly and were sad that he could not be the actually officiant on the day of, but he assured us that he would select someone from his team that would be perfect.
He set us up with Ray and it was perfect! He put everything we wanted into the ceremony and though we had just met him the day before our wedding, people commented that it seemed like we had known him for years. We had so many compliments on the ceremony and how great Ray was. He was so sweet and a real joy to work with!

My wife and I got married on March 25^th and we’re so lucky/​happy that we found Steve on Unilocal!
We met Steve a month or so before our wedding to talk about our wedding and we knew right away that he was our officiant!
Both my wife and I were nervous the day of the wedding and when it came down to the ceremony– Steve had us laughing and comfortable.
I would highly recommend Steve as your officiant– trust me on this one, he is one of kind! Our family and friends kept telling us «You’re officiant was great!!!» Yes, he was!
Steve, thank you so much for being our Officiant. You’re an awesome person and we are so grateful for everything you did for us, delivery of the ceremony, the laughs, everything!
Thank you

Daniel Curtis led our ceremony and he did a fantastic job! Great group of folks running this. Daniel is incredibly attentive to customizing your ceremony for your needs, can roll with any unexpected surprises, and is wonderfully charismatic. I highly recommend him and Officially Yours!

Met Steve at a wedding faire. Very approachable and no pressure tactics. I liked that about their approach.

We chose Steve to be our wedding officiant, and saying we were incredibly please is a vast understatement. From our first e-​mail communications, thru the initial meeting, the ceremony, and post-​wedding, Steve was not just an incredibly officiant, but a great person. He genuinely understands the importance of a ceremony, and that it not be a cookie-​cutter, one size fits all deal for all wedding couples. We told Steve our expectations, and he easily tuned right in to exactly what we wanted. His workbook was very helpful in shaping our ceremony, which we wanted to be short, inclusive to all our guests, and entertaining. My husband and I love humor, and Steve effortlessly found the right funny things to say at the right time. Just the right amount of humor coupled with heartfelt words. It was great hearing our guests laugh, and even hear ourselves laugh – it kept our nerves calm! I can’t believe how many photos there are of our ceremony where we’re laughing.
I have an affinity for pirate culture, and Steve asked if he could insert some passages in ‘pirate talk.’ We said yes, and the results were awesome! So, in short, Steve made our ceremony fun, personal, and memorable. We received so many compliments from guests regarding our ceremony and Steve’s delivery. We couldn’t have imagined a better man to unite us as husband and wife – Thank you, Steve! (Or should I say «Aye!»)

I cannot stress this enough: hire Steve to officiate your wedding! From the moment we first met him, we knew we wanted to work with him. He came prepared with a workbook to talk through options for our ceremony, should we so choose to hire him. Not only that, but he gave us so much great information and advice we didn’t even know (at that time) that we needed to know! Steve was not only professional, but friendly and warm.
Cutting to the most important part: the actual ceremony. Steve was SO GREAT. Literally all our guests commented on how wonderful our ceremony was. The perfect mix of lightheartedness and tear jerking moments and he did an awesome job of making it feel so personal. I’m not sure if this is normal or not, but the ceremony was my favorite part of the entire wedding day!
Steve’s services also include attendance at the rehearsal. And, last but not least, I want to mention that Steve’s rates are quite reasonable! Highly recommended!

Steve officiated our wedding in August and we could not be happier with our choice!
We had actually done the ceremony at the courthouse already so we technically didn’t need an officiant for the wedding, but we knew we had to hire Steve when we met him.
He is not just funny and playful but he knows what he is doing and you can feel that the moment you start talking with him. He will talk to you like an old friend, you will be laughing with him at Starbucks for like an hour while he gets his work done at the same time. You can see he is very relaxed and very confident about his skills he can offer. The security we felt and the friendliness of his was what sold us.
He will give you a big binder to work on when you first meet him. Everything is so well organized and all the information you will need will be in there.
We met with Steve again about 2 weeks before the wedding to go through the ceremony we had chosen. i was freaking out about every single thing at that point but I felt so much calmer after taking to him.
On the wedding day, Steve engaged all our guests into this cheerful, fun but heartfelt ceremony. Everyone was laughing and crying and just having a blast at the ceremony. He also inserted a lot of Star Wars references that we did not expect (he did ask for permission to put in some fun stuff before hand) and that just took the ceremony over the notch.
So many guests have told us that was the best ceremony they have ever attended!
and I should mention half of our guests were from Japan who did not speak very good English!
His rates are very reasonable. He knows he can charge more, but wouldn’t because he actually cares about the new couples.
Thank you Steve for the beautiful and unforgettable ceremony! We miss talking with you!

Thank you Steve! I couldn’t be happier with Steve officiating our marriage. We have been planning to marry for about 8 months, and a family emergency disrupted our marrying yesterday. So, on the fly Steve met us at a Starbucks and we tied the knot! We already had our marriage license, we just need to actually get married. Steve really went above and beyond. I fully recommend him for your special day. Even though our actual marriage was a bit unusual, Steve treated us with much respect and brought about the reverence our union deserved.

Steve officiated our wedding on Feb 13 2015 in the Bay Area. I highly recommend him. He made himself available to us very easily. He sat with my wife and I for a good hour to review the wedding plan, and the vows. We were very pleased with his handing us a wonderful binder with all the information, our choices, and he gave us very good recommendations.
Most of all, Steve is very friendly and helpful. He is a great consultant. in offering choices and his opinion, but softly. When we had last minute changes he helped!
Most important, when my wife and I were standing in front of him taking our vows, he had a magical presence. What do I mean. Well guess what. standing up there. and all the guests. can make you forget words. who would be surprised about that. Well, Steve helped my wife and I, and it was so great. that it all flowed so nicely.
Please don’t give a second thought to using Steve. Lastly, if you wish to verify this review feel free to send me a email, and I’ll gladly answer any of your questions.
Cheers, Rolf & Susanne

Steve recently officiated at my daughter’s wedding and made the ceremony so special, relaxing and enjoyable. Not a rigid stiff ceremony but very relaxing and NEVER boring! My daughter and her fiancée, at the time, also benefited from his pre-​marriage counseling sessions. Steve comes highly recommended!

Steve is the most amazing person ever! I feel so lucky and grateful that he officiated our wedding last weekend. From the first time my husband and I talked to him, we knew he would be perfect for us.
Steve had a huge workbook to give you inspiration and direction in creating your ceremony. He also had my husband and i individually write to him about how we met, our relationship, and how we feel about each other. In the end, I think he knew more about us than some of our friends do!
Steve ran the rehearsal so well, and was able to calm us and make the whole family feel much more relaxed. On the day of the wedding, I don’t know what I would have done without him. He was able to squash a panic attack before it started when I realized we showed up without the ring for my husband. He had back up plans to fix the situation, and told my husband about it in a very relaxed «its no big deal» manner (which really made it seem like no big deal).
The ceremony was absolutely beautiful. Steve has such a great way of speaking, and he really felt like a close friend was marrying us. He is taking care of filing the marriage license for us, all we have to do is pick it up.
If you’re considering Steve and officially yours for your ceremony, DO IT!!! You will really be grateful you chose them, just as we are.

…review pending…
Steve D. Siglin super comical!

My husband and I hired Steve from Officially Yours for our wedding 2 weeks ago and he did a great job! Steve is organized and always made time for us even with his busy schedule. The day of the wedding Steve was early and prepared. During the ceremony he was serious when he needed to be but also funny and light hearted especially when he could tell I was getting emotional because my late father was not there. Steve makes the process very easy with his ceremony workbook which you fill out yourself allowing you to pick and choose what you want said during the ceremony. We loved how personal he made our ceremony feel. We will definitely be recommending Steve to our unwed friends. Thank you Steve!

Steve was the perfect officiant. He’s a very good speaker– captivating, funny, and playful with great stories! It’s obvious he really cares about his clients and the idea of marriage in its entirety. In fact, after the wedding, many people asked us how he knew us because it seemed like we were long time friends =)
His process is very easy to follow; he gave us a notebook full of ideas for the entire ceremony, and we got to design the content. This made it very easy for Steve to give us the exact type of ceremony we wanted: modern, romantic, and not religious. He also adds in personal details about the couple if you send him your love story or how you met.
He’s also very helpful about the legal details involved in getting married. He directed me to where I needed to go, what I needed to fill out and when. He was also available for last minute texts with questions, and he was always very calming and helpful.
His pricing is also incredibly reasonable! Some officiants seem to be taking advantage because they are in high demand, but not Steve! And he’ll meet you for a nice interview, which I suggest! It makes the decision very obvious.
We are very happy we hired Steve, and we highly recommend him!

Thank you Steve for the great service you provided my son and his new bride! They were so happy with the way you presented the important reminders of how to love each other forever. It was a beautiful day and we all appreciate it so much!

Steve Siglin is one the best people I worked with throughout the wedding planning process. He was not only our officiant, but he became our friend. My husband, Matt, and I enjoyed all of the time he spent getting to know us (we did the Prepare-​Enrich program) and he always accommodated our schedules. Steve is the first to admit that sometimes he is hard to get in touch with because of how busy his business gets, but I never really had trouble with him responding to my requests. It might take a day or two, but he’ll get back to you! If he doesn’t, just send him another message or give him another call. He’s very laid back and easy going, which makes him awesome to work with. I knew we wanted to use him as our officiant the first time we met him. He felt like another member of our family! We have gotten nothing but positive feedback about the ceremony he performed for us. Everyone said he spoke like he was an old friend and I had to remind them that we feel Steve IS our friend! We don’t want our relationship with Steve to end with our wedding and will definitely be keeping in touch!
One last thing… the day of my wedding, everything was going really smoothly. When Steve showed up, he told me (or croaked to me) that he had lost his voice earlier in the day. He wasn’t sure if he could perform the ceremony. Of COURSE I was disappointed, but I didn’t want him to harm his voice further. If he needed to get a replacement, I would have been totally fine. Unfortunately for Steve’s voice, no one was available to take our wedding at the last minute, so he performed the ceremony (while sucking down many Riccolas!). We were so thankful that he was the one who was able to do the ceremony. I know it must have been difficult, but he never showed us any sign of struggle. He powered through and made our wedding day one we will never forget. Steve, I am so glad you were our officiant! I’m so blessed that you powered through our ceremony despite your voice issues that day. Matt and I are so glad to have met you and we hope you will stay in our lives forever (hope that doesn’t scare you!). BOOK someone from the Officially Yours team and you WILL NOT be disappointed!!!

Steve married us on June 27, 2014 and he was fantastic. He truly has a gift for what he does and our ceremony was so great because of him.
He originally wasn’t available on our wedding date which was disappointing but when he became free, I was so excited. Our ceremony was so special to us, it flowed nicely and we got many compliments on it from our guests, everyone thought it was perfect.
If we ever renew our vows I would not want to do it without Steve, he is terrific! I highly recommend him and Officially Yours!

When it was time to choose an officiant i looked and asked around. I had a type of vision I wanted our ceremony to be like. You know how you have attended weddings and the ceremony that didn’t seem to be personalized. Or the officiant just seemed to be mumbling to the bride and groom and forgot the rest of guests. I did not want that. I wanted our guests to be very much involved and interested in the ceremony. I came across Officially Yours, as a referral from our wedding venue. We worked with Steve initially, he was kind and quick to respond and worked with us to personalize our ceremony. I was sort of bummed when I learned Steve could not perform our ceremony, after reading all the fantastic reviews about him. So on the day of our meeting we met both Steve and the officiant that would perform our ceremony. I came in with an open mind and had faith on who would perform our wedding.
Our wedding Officiant was Anthony Patterson, he was simply the best. Everyone mentioned how amazing the ceremony was, how heartfelt, touching and charismatic Anthony was :) He brought our vision to life of having the type of ceremony, that connects to our guests emotionally, he included them in the ceremony. And although our ceremony was not in a church, it was very important to my husband and I that the mention of God and our spirituality was present and evident. He did all that. He was funny at the right parts, and had the guest laughing as well as making them tear up because it was so emotional and touching. He was perfect for our wedding. Thank you Anthony for making our wedding ceremony everything we wanted it to be.

Absolutely Incredible! Words can not express the gratitude my husband and I have for Steve for performing our ceremony on our special day! Breathtaking! We have received so many compliments already about our wedding ceremony, just last night.
While Steve can be a little hard to get in touch with at times, being so busy running this operation, :) He is absolutely worth it. He will make sure you have the wedding of your dreams, the way that you want it. He doesn’t have his own agenda, gives you endless recommendations when asked and comes with years of incredible knowledge. He will meet you anywhere, as many times needed, to make sure your absolutely comfortable with your day. When we met Steve there was no doubt that this man would be perfect for us. And on our wedding day, he met with us privately, went through the ceremony, and made sure we knew exactly what we were about to do.
He made our ceremony interactive, drew from knowledge of our conversations, and had light humor with us, knowing we would enjoy that. He matched our ceremony with his tie, and was so professional. You would be lucky, blessed and privileged to have Steve perform your wedding celebration. He is simply the Best!
