Officiant Guy

Chris was the perfect match for our wedding ceremony on June 4! I was wanting someone who would make me feel at ease and with Chris I did not have to worry about anything! He was so accommodating when I could not decide which beach I wanted to have my ceremony on! He gave me some great ideas of some beautiful places. During the ceremony everything went smooth and I was able to have everything taken care of as far as the marriage license goes!
Let’s hope I don’t have to use him again, but if I had to I would! HA!
I would definitely recommend him to anyone! Thank you again Chris!

Chris is amazing. Bottom line. From start to finish Chris was helpful, patient and professional. He was along for the ride for about 11 months of my planning as I changed my wedding location twice and never once gave off the impression that he was annoyed and kept all the details straight the whole time.
We opted to write our own ceremony and Chris delivered it perfectly with the right comedic timing, pauses and emotion. Our family thought he was a friend we had known and not someone we met for the first time on our wedding day because he’s so easy to get along with. Even with all the madness surrounding a bride as she gets ready for her wedding, he remained cool, calm and collected.
To say I was impressed with Chris is such an understatement. He helped me with any suggestions or recommendations I asked for (I mean he KNOWS SoCal so well) and has been available even now after the wedding for any questions I’ve had about the legal process and paperwork. Oh! The paperwork! Having him issue our license and file for us was such a lifesaver. He’s a dream and I’m still trying to figure out how you can get so much from one person. Thank you so much, Chris for not only being part of our day, but making it easier for us and memorable.

While due to scheduling conflicts (that were entirely my fault) I wasn’t able to go with Chris, I wanted to write him and his company a good review because they are incredibly responsive and really tried to be accommodating. Whether by phone or email, Chris really emphasizes that he will be there for you — I love that he is full service in regards to marriage licenses, saving you any headache at the county clerk. I’ve spoken with him enough times to know that their level of service is above and beyond, and I’d recommend him to any couple.

Chris was so amazing! He was professional and quick to respond to my emails and questions. His experience in weddings in California was so vital. We planned a quick elopement and he was there to help us figure out the best time and location for what we wanted. He really goes above and beyond. He is more than just an officiant! We were so happy to have found Chris and were pleased at how perfectly he officiated our ceremony. You can’t go wrong with hiring Chris!

Chris is an absolute Gem! I planned my dream wedding in less than a month. I called several officiants, but after our very first conversation, I knew he was the one! On top of his pleasant and warm phone voice, he was very easy to talk to and took the time to answer all my questions. Also, an added bonus, he’s handsome! We all want a handsome well groomed officiant in our photos, right???
I was also probably a small pain in the a$$ because I changed the date 3 times, and the venue twice. But it didn’t bother him! He was so patient and understanding. He always returned my calls and emails within 24 hrs. I can’t say enough good things about him and I highly recommend him to everyone!
Thanks Chris!

Chris is absolutely the greatest officiant ever!!! He handled our wedding and gave us the perfect wedding experience. This went left before the wedding, my wife forgot her wedding bouquet and the sand for our ceremony, but Chris remained calm, gave us suggestions that allowed us to continue as planned!!!
He recommended the location and the photographer and both were excellent. It is our hope that when we renew our vows, Chris will be available to walk us through that time in our life as well. I highly recommend him and if he makes a suggestion, go with it. I promise you’ll be glad you did!!!

Chris was extremely helpful when we planned our wedding. He answered my dozens of emails with patience and full of advice/​details/​and helpful pointers. He recommended the palos verdes viewpoint and it couldnt have been more perfect. Very professional, quick to reply, and helped us have a wonderful wedding. I will be recommending him to all of my friends who get engaged in the future. thank you chris!!!

What a great experience for a last minute elopement. My boyfriend and I decided to marry– and wanted to do it in less than a week. We wanted this to be a romantic ceremony of commitment between the two of us, barefoot, on the beach. I was lucky to find Chris on Google search. He made my special day easy and effortless. He immediately responded to my email, answered all the questions I had, did all the paperwork in advance, was in constant contact and by the time the BIG DAY arrived, he just showed up and gave us a wonderful and moving ceremony that I will cherish for the rest of my life. What a nice man. I am so glad I did not do this in Vegas. Faster, cheaper and not staged at all. Just as chill as life in Cali.

chris was amazing! here’s why:
on wednesday night, my then girlfriend and i decided we wanted to get married on the following monday … yes, less than 5 days notice.
after plowing through all the nonsense on how to get a marriage license and who can do it, i luckily stumbled upon chris. i sent him an email and he responded a couple hours later (while he was on vacation), saying he would gladly do our wedding.
he took care of EVERYTHING!!! he sent us a link to fill out and that’s all we had to do. he got the license for us and took so much stress out of our lives. he kept me involved in the entire process, asking what we wanted and how best he could assist. so professional.
on the wedding day, he showed up early at out home with a beaming smile. he performed the ceremony and had us signed the documents.
i highly recommend chris. courteous. professional. highly communicative. the entire package. oh, and his prices are absolutely cheap. he saved me from going to the court house and wasting hours to get a license on my own. time is money. and he saved me a ton.
call chris. you won’t be disappointed.

Chris was great and very professional!
My wife and I were in need of a quick ceremony and I found Chris on Unilocal then made the decision to request his services based off of all the other great reviews for him. This was the best decision that we made! Chris met us at the place we requested and was very accommodating to our needs and he performed a beautiful ceremony.
I could not be any happier and I would definitely recommend Chris to anybody.

Chris was really good on the phone. I felt very comfortable putting my deposit on PayPal with him to proceed with the ceremony. Once payment was made he became unavailable. No returned phone calls, and very poor communication by email.
This is the first negative review I have every written! BTW.
My fiancé started to get worried once we had not heard back from him in a few weeks after multiple voice mails left for Chris and a couple unanswered emails. Once we did hear back 3+ weeks later we had already selected another Officiant as we had no choice.
Chris was arrogant, and unwilling to compromise once we finally got an email trail going. I simply requested my deposit back and he pointed out his «no refund policy». He was unwilling to meet with us prior to the wedding because of his busy schedule and was also not available for the rehearsal. Just not a good fit, unprofessional and unresponsive.
So, if you don’t need someone to be at your rehearsal, meet you in person, take the time to call you back or even get to know, you, if you don’t want informational emails about the process, and if you don’t want someone who says he is so busy and successful that he doesn’t have time for you… Hire him.

Chris is highly professional! My husband and i just made it official thanks to the officiant guy chris! He is super informative and very nice person.

Could not have been happier with Chris’s professionalism. Had no idea about writing vows, logistics, or even where to put my hands during the ceremony, and he took the time to walk us through options on the phone, by email, and in person the day of the ceremony. His delivery of our ceremony was impeccable, as was his timing during the «pause for laugh» jokes we wrote into our own vows. The search for an officiant is anxiety-​inducing (anyone else have no idea what criteria to look for?), so from someone else who was there, highly recommend Chris.
Plus, it’s cool being married by the guy who officiated Gene Simmons’s wedding.

Chris was awesome from the time he picked up the phone until he married me to my wife. He was very helpful and informative in terms of preparing us with all the proper paperwork at the county clerks office. And he knows LA… when I asked him about ceremony locations along PCH Chris’ suggestion was where we ended up doing it. Overall, Chris made our small private ceremony go as smoothly as possible and we couldn’t have asked for anything more.

I called Chris by finding him randomly online (not Unilocal!) and he answered and was friendly and informative and upfront about everything. I felt comfortable speaking with him and booked him right then on the phone.
He has been nothing but helpful and willing to cooperate with our paperwork and our wedding (which was an out of town elopement for us).
The entire process was incredibly smooth and easy.
I would highly recommend using Chris. It doesn’t matter that he has been the officiant for celebrities, he treats non-​celebrities as if we were famous.
Thank you for making our elopement easy and stress free!

I was looking for the perfect officiant to orchestrate my wedding vows and I found him! Chris was a blessing from beginning to end… He helped my husband and I with everything… We must of changed our minds a hundred times! We were going to have a 5 person wedding under a fig tree in Beverly Hills and it grew into a 33 person wedding at The Montage Hotel! Chris helped us with the vows and he made it a pleasure! He also handled the marriage license and made everything stress free. I am so grateful! Do yourself a huge favor and employ his services, you will be so happy you did!

TIED THE KNOT!!!
We got married and what a great experience we had with Chris Robinson, The Officiant Guy. I was refereed to him from a friend and, «Thank God». He was just like his name. Efficient-​Officiant. He did everything he said he would do. It’s such an important day for so many people and he came thru like a champ. A real professional. He met with us at my request, prior to the wedding and went over everything. He handled all the paperwork and treated us like we were royalty. We were really touched, privileged and blessed to have found Chris. If you are planning a wedding, Congratulations to you, and with my personal recommendation… Look no further and contact Chris Robinson!!!

Chris was absolutely amazing. I would highly recommend him to anyone. I had a unique circumstance where my husband and I eloped out of the country and needed to make it official when we came back in to the US. He was so easy, efficient, knowledgeable, and kind. He made the process so painless and quick — which is exactly what WE requested and wanted after a 20+ hour plane ride.
Before my husband and I left for our wedding/​honeymoon and we needed to set up obtaining a marriage license and our actual marriage certificate/​ceremony He responded immediately, we had all the arrangements made within 1 day and all went smooth and accordingly. Not much else to ask for when leaving the country and returning to such a nice, lovely, private ceremony.

Chris was incredible from the start.
Where do I start? He was informative and quick to respond to all of our questions, he had a great idea for a romantic location in the hills near the Griffith Observatory and met us there, he was professional and the process couldn’t be easier.
Actually, we had our wedding in the winter thinking that we might get rain (we saw that as good luck) but instead it was a gorgeous day, warm and sunny. Everyone in Los Angeles was out at the park! We planned to have the wedding at sunset and arranged to meet at 445pm. But there was so much traffic that people were walking faster than our limos and we got to the site at 530. When we arrived with our party he was patient and supportive! When we were totally stressed he was calm.
As a lawyer, Chris takes care of all the court paperwork taking forms directly to the courthouse. My wife and I highly recommend his services!

Chris was AMAZING!
My husband and I woke up one Saturday morning, and decided to elope right away. We didn’t think it was possible. but after doing a little research we came across the Officiant Guy. At first I was a little hesitant because on his website he was the Officiant to Kendra Wilkinson, Gene Simmons, Ricki Lake… and a bunch of other high profile celebrities. I thought that we weren’t a couple up to his standards and that he had better things to do than wed two young middle class individuals on a 5 hour notice. I was embarrassed to call because I hate rejection, so i had my husband do it. We were absolutely shocked by his response. Chris had told us his whole schedule for the day (which was pretty jam packed), and in the end he said he can meet us the same night at 7:30. The whole process was very stress free, worry free. We felt really bad about the short notice, but he made us feel at ease and told us about other situations like ours.
We honestly couldn’t have asked for a better Officiant than Chris! The most professional, kind, understanding, accommodating, and client oriented person EVER!
THANK YOU CHRIS!!! :)
