GayLa Weddings

GayLa Weddings is a wedding officiant business in San Luis Obispo, California, run by Lori. She is a licensed officiant in California and marries couples in non-religious ceremonies at their chosen location.

Why it suits LGBTQ+ couples

GayLa Weddings is LGBTQ+-owned, and ceremonies are shaped to the taste and style of each couple. If you want an officiant whose own community is part of the work, you can book with confidence that your ceremony will be written for you, whether it is simple or elaborate.

What is offered

• Licensed officiant in California
• Non-religious ceremonies
• Personalized ceremonies, from simple to elaborate
• Ceremonies of less than thirty minutes
• Planning help before the wedding

Getting ready

Lori works with you ahead of the day so the ceremony matches your vision. Prepare a short list of what you want to include: a reading, a story, vows, a ring exchange and any family involvement. A ceremony under thirty minutes keeps guests engaged and leaves plenty of time for the rest of the day.

Ask when the script will be ready, whether she attends a rehearsal and how the license is signed and returned. In California, you apply for a marriage license in person, so allow time before the wedding.

On the Central Coast

San Luis Obispo sits between Los Angeles and San Francisco, close to beaches at Avila and Pismo, wine country in Edna Valley and Paso Robles, and ranch venues. Ask whether she travels along the coast and how far.
