As an ordained priest, I have the authority to officiate weddings in California, and if you would like to hire me, please reach out using the form below.
Since being ordained in 2009, I have officiated maybe a hundred weddings.
This started with requests from friends and sangha mambers; more recently I have been offering my services on public platforms such as Zola – and previously Thumbtack.
As a wedding officiant I am proud to have performed many same-sex marriages, and many of the couples I have married have been multi-cultural. I am often asked to wear my Buddhist robes for the ceremony, and occasionally I conduct a formal Buddhist ceremony, but that is entirely up to the couple. Ceremonies have ranged in size from the couple, me and the photographer, to much more formal settings for up to two hundred people.
When you hire me, you will receive the benefits of my long years of meditation practice. My principle is always that it is your day, and you are the people that need to be happy with how it unfolds; my hope is that the words I say reflect who you are as a couple. My meditation practice helps me remain grounded and present in these big moments, and that can help the couple to stay calmer as well.
This is not my full-time job; I currently officiate about a dozen weddings a year. Your big day will be meaningful to me as well as you.
