Investment and why are Officiant prices so different?
Investment? We wish we had the simple answer for you… We see local San Diego Officiant services on WeddingWire and The Knot that vary from $250 to $795 (even a few over $1,000). We also see Officiants from Orange and Los Angeles counties who would love to spend the weekend in San Diego and charge even higher rates. Essentially, prices vary from Location to Location, Officiant to Officiant, Celebrant to Celebrant, Minister to Minister.
Our best advice would be; 1) look for a Celebrant from your area 2) with a good reputation, 3) plenty of experience, 4) great reviews and avoid any celebrant that says “Plus this or that” (i.e. Travel Fees, Mileage, Gratuity).

- We don’t charge extra for travel time or mileage if in our service area.
