Unity by Moochie

Unity by Moochie is a wedding officiant service in Moreno Valley, California, in the Inland Empire. The minister has been ordained for more than eleven years and offers customized ceremonies for many kinds of couples.

Why Unity by Moochie suits LGBTQ+ couples

The business is LGBTQ+-owned. The minister says the work began as a way to serve the LGBTQ+ community and everyone equally, and describes a free-spirited, open and understanding approach. If you want a ceremony that does not push a set script, this is a warm match.

Ceremony styles

• Traditional and contemporary ceremonies
• Simple ceremonies
• Commitment ceremonies
• Renewals of vows

Optional rituals

You can add symbolic rituals to a ceremony. Options listed include a sage cleanse, sand or salt combining, candle lighting, crystal meditation, jumping the broom, handfasting, tree planting, glass stomping and a blanket ceremony. Choose one or two that mean something to you, because too many can stretch the ceremony.

Planning together

Ask which rituals need props and who supplies them. Tell the minister about guests who may need an explanation, so a short spoken note can place each ritual in context. Check any venue rules, since some sites do not allow smoke, open flame or planted trees.

Confirm how the marriage license is handled and who returns it. California requires a license from a county clerk before the ceremony, so book that appointment early.

Inland Empire

Moreno Valley is east of Riverside, with ranches, parks, vineyards and event spaces in reach across the Inland Empire. Ask about travel to your location, and plan for heat in summer.
