Bringing your love story to life.
Your ceremony is the one moment of the day that belongs entirely to the two of you. We learn your story, and we tell it. Based in San Diego, working in seven states.

Weddings performed

States and counting
Our pastors have performed more than two hundred weddings between them, for couples in San Diego, across Southern California, and in seven states so far.
Most ceremonies could belong to anyone.
The same passage. The same vows. The same words about love being patient, read by someone who met you an hour ago.
Yours should sound like no one else's. That takes an officiant who knows your story, and the time to learn it.
Who you will meet first.
Matt Perry.
Pastor · 16 years · San Diego
For more than 16 years, I've had the privilege of serving people through some of the most meaningful moments of their lives. Today I serve as the Lead Pastor of Love Church in San Diego, and I created Love Marriage Co. to offer couples something beyond simply finding someone who can legally perform their ceremony.
The Process
- 01
As soon as you book
The Conversation
An hour together, unhurried. Not a form filled out alone. We talk until the story that matters surfaces.
- 02
About six weeks out
The Thread
Every relationship is about something. We find yours, and the ceremony is built around it.
- 03
Two weeks out
The Draft
You read every word before anyone hears it. Nothing is said in front of your family that you have not approved.
- 04
Your wedding day
The Day
Your people hear who you are to each other, from someone who knows.
- 05
Two weeks after
The Keepsake
Your ceremony, printed and bound, sent to you after the wedding.
Twenty minutes, no cost, no pressure. We talk about your day and whether we are the right fit.
Choose where to start.
There is no wrong answer here, and nothing has to be decided today. Some couples want a ceremony that sounds like them and nothing more. Some want to prepare for the marriage as carefully as they are preparing for the day. Both are good reasons to call us.
A limited number of weddings each year.
The Ceremony
If you need the day itself.
Elopements
Just the two of you, said properly.

Every price includes everything listed. No hourly charges, no fees added later, and travel is quoted before you book rather than after. If your plans change, you can move between these up to six weeks before the wedding.

The wedding gets a year of planning. The marriage gets none.
Your wedding lasts a day. Your marriage is meant for a lifetime. Almost every couple gets that backwards, and nobody blames them for it, because the day has a deadline and the marriage does not.
The Day
Twelve months of planning.
A venue, a guest list, a menu, a playlist, a seating chart.
Six hours, and then it is over.
The Marriage
No preparation at all.
Money, family, conflict, children, faith, rest.
The rest of your life.
Marriage preparation is four conversations you would otherwise have for the first time as an argument. Not because anything is wrong, but because nobody ever sat you down and asked.
Preparation follows Get Your Ship Together, an eight module curriculum. Take the free readiness assessment.
