I found So Cal Vows on the internet. Our wedding coordinator was Penjo who was amazing and funny. They have amazing packages to choose from. I was very particular about certain things for my wedding and a little skeptical about choosing a company I found on the internet and planning everything over the phone. However, Penjo and her staff made sure my day was perfect and PERFECT it was. I was in disbelief when I arrived to the site and seen the set up I couldn't believe they had created my dream Hawaii wedding on the beaches of La Jolla. A HUGE thank you to Amanda, the onsite wedding coordinator who made sure everything flowed the day of the wedding. Greta or Greta D Photography for capturing the most amazing pictures. You should really call Greta if you want someone with a true gift of photography. MOST of all THANK YOU PENJO... for all the special touches and for selecting all the perfect people to make this truly my DREAM wedding! We were married on October 16th, 2021 on the beaches of La Jolla. Our officiant was Luis Osuna. He was referred to us through So Cal Vows. I was quite nervous having an officiant selected for our wedding without ever meeting them. My nerves were calmed when I received the first email from Luis Osuna. :) He was a breath of fresh air from the moment I read his email. Next, we met via zoom, and we knew the moment we saw Luis he was the perfect fit. He glows with kindness and sincerity it was beautiful. It was very important to me that our officiant fit our personalities. He asked questions like how we met, what things first attracted us to each other, what qualities we love about each other etc. The day of our wedding he captivated our guests. He had them laughing and crying at the same time! The only regret I have is that we didn't get a chance to take a picture with Luis at our wedding. :( I highly recommend Luis if you are looking for that personal touch. He really cares about making your day perfect! Thank you, Luis!
I planned a destination wedding for my daughter from Texas. I was very stressed but it worked out so beautifully!! Penjo was incredibly helpful during the planning and always responded quickly to all my questions. She is very experienced and professional. The wedding was at Sunset Cliffs and the setup was just perfect and gorgeous. I thank God for beautiful weather. The flowers were amazing! They were so fresh and exceeded my expectations. Pastor Daniel, the officiant did an awesome job. My daughter Candy and son Gio really liked him! The music Candy and Gio selected sounded great. My Uncle sang “The Lord’s Prayer” and the set up made it very easy for him. He sounded incredible!! We were told the photos would be ready in about two weeks, but six days after the wedding, Candy received them and wow, they really exceeded our expectations. Greta did a phenomenal job! She captured so many beautiful pictures! The videographer did an awesome job as well and had our video ready in six days as well! I can’t stop watching the video! We got the two camera, drone package. It is so amazing. If I had to do it over again I definitely would!!! Thank you to everyone at SoCal for making Candy and Gio very happy and for giving us wonderful, lifetime memories!
Wow! SoCal Vows did just an amazing job for our beach wedding in La Jolla. Everything was perfect! They are so easy to communicate with, offered great ideas, had plenty of options, and executed everything perfectly! Our wedding was really just perfect in every way, we could not have been happier!
SocalVows made our special day incredibly easy. Everything was taken care of in advance and if there were any changes Socal was quick to email us. SocalVows kept in contact when they said they would and provided approximate dates when they would ask us some very important questions about our ceremony. They were flexible with us and accomodated our party of 13 guests. They made our special day so easy and stress free I would do it again through SocalVows. I highly recommend SocalVows to plan your ceremony. You won't regret it.
I just want to say how much I loved our vow renewal ceremony. It was better than I imagined! Everything was done so professionally. Every little touch was so beautiful. The communication was spot on. I am tearing up just thinking about it all. We had a pretty amazing wedding 20 years ago so the expectations were high. You guys nailed it. I cannot thank you all enough for making our special day one of the most memorable moments we’ve had so far!!
Penjo made our wedding perfect! All vendors were awesome and professional. Our photos by Xavier were perfect, Julia the officiant was great, and my bouquet was gorgeous. I just had to show up. If you don’t want to stress on the ceremony planning definitely contact SoCalVows
I was very hesitant to write this review, but something about how things were handled just bothers me enough to ultimately decide to. My fiance and I were planning on getting married, so we chose this vendor to help us with that. Long story short, they were extremely unprofessional and that should have been a red flag from the jump. Regardless, due to our excitement, initially we overlooked the somewhat rude demeanor and took a leap of faith. Not long after, we experienced a shortness in patience when trying to plan our day, a lack of communication when attempting to plan/sort the fine details, and an overall bad experience. Ultimately, we ended up canceling the SoCal Vows and started over with another vendor. We lost a lot of time/money/zeal in the process, but to us, it was worth NOT having to work with SCV any longer. I would strongly urge looking at other vendors if you hope for a seamless and wonderful experience. Extremely disappointing, but you learn and move on.
We had an amazing experience with SoCal Vows. Not only were there flexible when we had to postpone our wedding due to COVID, but they also checked up on us closer to the wedding date to make sure we were prepared. Our officiant, Ken, came in a timely manner and helped explained the marriage license and certificate process before the ceremony. During our ceremony, Ken made it seem like he knew us for years. Very personable, so much that guests asked if we knew each other before the wedding! He seems like the type of guy who can do this in his sleep. You are in good hands with SoCal Vows!
Evelyn was the women I communicated with about our wedding ceremony she did not like to speak over the phone so we emailed back-and-forth for three days everything I asked to do she said no to. No flowers is what I was told, we weren’t allowed to bring our own flowers, she said she couldn’t do the arch we wanted and we couldn’t do our own she then said I am canceling your your reservation for your ceremony and refunding your money after we paid and started planning 8 months before our big day. She was very rude and unprofessional do not use this company
I want to thank the entire team of SoCal vows for making it happened! It was a beautiful ceremony. My husband and I loved everything about your amazing work! Amanda and Luis were very patient with my arrival and coordinated perfectly. Panjo you have an amazing team! You guys are awesome!

Socal Vows officially began in 2009 as a team of officiants. As local pastors we were frequently asked to help officiant wedding ceremonies. We brought a very unique style to wedding officiating as a whole. All of us tend to have a more casual and relaxed vibe when it came to weddings. However, because this is a wedding and one of the most important days of your lives together it needed to have a balance between casual and fun yet intimate and sincere.
We tell couples all the time, “There is nobody else leading the feel and style of your wedding like the officiant. The officiant is the only other person speaking in your wedding.” We work hard to bring the perfect balance to your wedding ceremony. Our officiants enjoy being fun and lighthearted in the ceremony, and balance that with the intimacy and sedimental values of having a wedding.
We are not comedians, but we know how to make your ceremony fun and not boring! We never want your guest to look at their watch and say, “When is this going to be over?” We will make sure your wedding is perfect for you, and we look forward to helping you plan your wedding. If you’re a fun couple – let’s make some magic! You can reach out to learn more about us.
