Testimonials
"During our two days in Half Moon Bay, we often found ourselves thinking how lucky we were to have you for your services. You left us the freedom to make it a very personal event and at the same time, you always made us feel secure with your warm and caring way. It was heart-warming to see the German flag flying in our honor!"

"We have just returned this week to Scotland from a 2 week holiday in the Half Moon Bay area, on the 1st of January we got married on Roosevelt beach (right outside Judith's house) in Half Moon Bay. It was fantastic, to look out and have high rolling waves coming into the beach was great. I can also honestly say that working with Judith was a joy, she took care of everything - the service she did was beautiful, it was obvious she had personally chosen the words for the ceremony. She certainly made my bride and myself feel very special. To have the Scottish flag flown at her house was also pretty neat!
In summary I would recommend without reservation using Judith for your ceremony, I would also consider Half Moon Bay as a location for the ceremony, SF is a bit touristy and busy.
The photographer, Mark Rocha, is outstanding and well worth considering."
-- Ian & Leslie, Glasgow, Scotland
"We wanted to say once again thank you so much for everything you did for me and Johnnie at our wedding. It was such a gorgeous, perfect day and that is because of you. We will never forget your kindness and professionalism. You are truly wonderful at what you do.
One of the most memorable aspects of having you do our ceremony is how comfortable you made us feel and how, after just one day of knowing you in person, we felt you cared very deeply about Johnnie and I personally, not just as clients, but as a new couple. That is a real gift when you are doing these intimate ceremonies where just the couple is present, your warm presence and personality made us feel like we were even having a friend marry us, and that made a big difference!"
-- Meredith

"When we made the decision to "slip away and get married" we decided on the San Francisco Bay Area. The call we made to Pacific Coast Weddings was the "best call we ever made". Judith made it so easy! The Pacific Coast Wedding web site put a million resources at our fingertips. We were able to hire a photographer, a video specialist, a limousine and even order a cake! Everything went smoothly, the scenery was beautiful and Judith made it all seem like it truly "our day" Her professionalism, hospitality, and warmth are second to none."
-- Michael & Audry, Austin, Texas

"We were hesitant about picking a wedding Officiant off the web... and planning from out of state... You took time and phone calls to reassure us that everything would be perfect for our special day and it was. We thank you for all of your attention to detail and we will readily recommend your services to anyone here in Las Vegas.."
-- Barb & Scott, Las Vegas
"We feel very blessed to have met you, and have you perform our ceremony. The wedding was exactly what we wanted. It was simple, it was spiritual, and it was personal. We had not planned a wedding on the beach, but it was the best of God's Chapels. The weather was so perfect...
Thank you again for making everything so easy, and so lovely. You have started a beautiful marriage for us.
-- Ron & Ingrid
"....I could not have asked for a better rendering of the ceremony we wrote. Your emphases and inflections were just as I intended when I wrote and arranged the words. It was helpful, however, that we had samples from you to use as a starting point."
-- Liz & John
"Thank you for providing us with a little piece of heaven for our very special day, our wedding day. Every wedding should be so carefree and relaxed so that the love shines right through and we realize that it did in large part due to your efforts and your genuinely caring attitude. 
You added so much to our wedding day. You opened your warm lovely home to us, and shared your heart with us that day. We knew that we could call you with any questions concerns or comments at any time and be warmly received to help plan our perfect day. And it was perfect. We had a fabulous time exchanging our vows in Half Moon Bay on the California coast with the sunset over the mighty Pacific Ocean as our backdrop.
We wanted a small wedding yet a wedding that would reflect the love and beauty we found in each other and your service gave us just that."
-- Dan & Melinda
"My husband and I were celebrating our 7th wedding anniversary and thought there is no lovelier way to say I Love You than to renew our vows.
You came highly recommended. I had never met you but I felt like I was talking to an old friend. The composition of the ceremony was so beautiful and touching, we all had tears in our eyes. The weather was perfect and we were able to have the ceremony on the beach. It was picture perfect with the setting sun on the ocean, and the sounds of the surf, and an intimate atmosphere on top of the sand dune. Moments such as this are precious and rare, something to cherish for the rest of our lives. Thank you so much for orchestrating such a beautiful ceremony. We will always remember this weekend for the rest of our lives. We also made a friend to cherish in our hearts for now and always.
With all our love,"
-- Martin & Lynn
"Thank you for the perfect wedding!! Eric and I loved every moment, ... So relaxed, and the setting was beautiful. We both enjoyed meeting you and appreciate your warmth and the way you made us feel at ease. I will recommend your service to friends, as we would not have changed a thing!"
--Julie & Eric
Wedding Professionals have said:
"I just adore Judith: she is so gentle and easy to talk to. She handles the couple very delicately, knowing this is one of the most important days of their lives. I'd recommend her to anyone!"
"Judith is deeply spiritual and she emanates that through her ceremonies. She is so fun-loving and demonstrative, I just love her."
"Judith is so professional: she is always on time and dependable. If she says she is going to do something, it will be done."
"Not only is Judith a fantastic officiant with a warm and spiritual personality, but she offers a spectacular ceremony site on the beach at Half Moon Bay. She performs her individualized ceremonies at this oceanfront locale, and in inclement weather, will suggest alternative coast side locations. Photographic opportunities abound both at the beach and in her garden.
Judith is especially adept at assisting couples who are planning their event long distance. Using email, phone and fax, she can help them create a ceremony that fits both their religious beliefs and cultural heritage. The ceremony will be preserved in a keepsake version she includes with her services. She is also available to do ceremonies at other locations in the region. One more perk is that Judith can issue a marriage license on the spot, so couples don't have to go all the way to Vegas for a quick wedding. Judith can put it all together in a romantic setting in a surprisingly short time."
