Marry Me

Marry Me is a wedding officiant business in Fresno, California, led by a master celebrant who also owns the Marry Me Wedding Chapel. She often travels outside the Fresno area to officiate.

Why they suit LGBTQ+ couples

Marry Me is LGBTQ+-owned. If you want a ceremony that feels personal and meaningful, an officiant who knows what it is to build a ceremony around your story can help you avoid scripts written for someone else.

The ceremony service

The full service organizes your ceremony from start to finish. You choose a meeting date, either in person or by video chat. You then receive an online questionnaire, and on the meeting day you go over the ceremony details, the requirements to marry and marital traditions you may or may not want to keep. The officiant uses all of this to prepare.

Credentials and extras

The officiant is registered as a minister with American Marriage Ministries and the Universal Life Church Monastery. The business also provides other services such as venue management and notary public work. Pricing depends on the service you choose and is explained on the website.

Planning tips

Ask to read a sample script, confirm how long the ceremony will run and decide who will do readings. If you want to use the chapel, ask about dates, guest limits and what time you need for photos. In California you can choose a public or confidential marriage license, so ask the county clerk which suits you and check how the officiant will return it.
