It's All About Love

Hello there! I’m Dawn, a Secular Minister who specializes in officiating weddings, funerals, memorial services, and other significant events that celebrate the beauty of life, love, and the human experience. I’ve been happily and humbly performing my services as a Non-Religious, Humanist Celebrant across Southern California since 2007.
I consider it an absolute honor to be involved in the most meaningful and memorable ceremonies that my clients will ever experience. Whether I’m gently guiding two loving people during the biggest day of their lives, or I’m kindly assisting in the solemn celebration of one beloved person - ultimately - It’s All About Love. Supporting my fellow humans as a Secular Minister brings me immense joy - because what’s more important than Love?
As a secular wedding officiant, I collaborate with you & your future spouse to craft a ceremony that reflects your personalities, as well as the values and beliefs that matter most to both of you. Together, we'll create a ceremony that is authentic, meaningful, and reflective of the love and commitment being celebrated. If there are any poems, readings, or rituals that you would like to incorporate into your ceremony, please let me know. I can also offer suggestions, based on what you tell me during our consultations. Your wedding day will be an unforgettable day for both of you - so I'm here to ensure that your ceremony beautifully displays the love you share.
As a non-religious minister, it's an enormous privilege to assist you in creating a personalized memorial or funeral service that authentically honors and remembers the unique life of your loved one. I offer compassionate consultations, in which you can share with me as much as you'd like about their life, and their desires regarding how they wished to be memorialized. I'd also like to know your wishes for what you want to include in the service (such as: eulogies, poems, readings, rituals, music, etc.), as well as any input from family and friends, so that we can craft the most fitting, inclusive tribute to your loved one. It is truly my humble honor to help you bid farewell to a wonderful human being who will never be duplicated or replaced.
Absolutely! It's my responsibility to ensure that your marriage license is completed correctly, to confirm that it has not been more than 90 days since the marriage license was issued, and to submit the license to the county recorder of the county in which the license was issued.

Only one adult is required to witness the ceremony, for legal purposes.
