Your Magical Wedding Ceremony
About Me..Your Ordained Minister...
Born in France and raised in a large Catholic family, I hold marriage as a fundamental value and aspiration. With a lifelong quest for perfect love and a natural talent for matchmaking, I find immense joy in connecting people. My dedication to community service has shaped my understanding of love and commitment, further enriched by my experience giving communion at a hospice in Chicago, where I witnessed the profound beauty of reunifying souls.
As an ordained minister with AMM, I see officiating weddings not just as a privilege but as a sacred responsibility. Each ceremony I conduct reflects my passion for love, honor the couple's unique journey, and celebrate the deep commitment they are making to one another. I am dedicated to creating heartfelt, unforgettable weddings that resonate with true meaning and significance.
Your Languages...
Weddings can be ordained in English, French, or both languages to cater to the preferences of the couple and their guests. This bilingual approach not only enhances inclusivity but also adds a special touch to the ceremony, allowing everyone to feel connected and engaged.
I embrace cultural diversity and ensure that every guest can share in the joy of your special day.
Your Ceremony Location...
One of the most well-liked locations for civil ceremonies is San Francisco City Hall. Anyone looking for a wedding venue will find this one ideal due to its combination of beauty, practicality, and affordable pricing. This location is ideal for a tight budget but yet an elegant wedding. Approximately 30 couples celebrate their nuptials at San Francisco City Hall on a daily basis. Due to its extreme popularity, a reservation system is required to book weddings here.
San Francisco City Hall will also permit you to hold your civil ceremony off-site on a weekend or holiday. You can specify that location when you book your wedding online.
I will honor your dream location such as your own home, park, beach, forest, in fact the location of your choice.…choices are unlimited in San Francisco!

My values…
As an ordained minister, I hold deep convictions that shape my approach to celebrating weddings. I believe in the profound power of two becoming greater than one—a partnership that enhances individual strengths and unites dreams. I cherish the significance of family creation, embracing the joy and love that children bring into our lives.
I am committed to the idea of eternal union, both spiritual and physical, recognizing marriage as a sacred bond that transcends time. Each ceremony I officiate is an opportunity to share light and love with others, serving as a testament to the beauty of commitment and connection.
Above all, I wholeheartedly believe in the transformative power of marriage. It is a celebration of love's journey, a commitment to support one another, and a foundation for a shared life filled with joy, understanding, and growth. Through this process, I am honored to witness and facilitate the beginning of a couple's lifelong adventure together.
Wedding Ceremony Price...based on chosen location
-
You can actually reserve a day and time for your wedding and feel reasonably confident that it will happen right around that time. The SF County Clerk has an online reservation system that enables you to book and pay for both your marriage license appointment and the actual civil ceremony. Your marriage license currently costs $113, and the civil ceremony at city hall will cost you $95. When making a reservation online, you can pay for everything, as previously mentioned, using a credit card.
-
San Francisco City Hall will also permit you to hold your civil ceremony off-site on a weekend or holiday for just $307. The first $157 of this fee is due when you make your reservation with the County Clerk, and the remaining $150 is payable to the Marriage Commissioner (wedding officiant) directly.
The location is the only thing you need to supply to be ready.

It’s all about what you desire and what resonates deeply with you as a couple. Together, we can create a meaningful and memorable experience that honors your beliefs and the love you share.
