About Us
The Wedding Minister You Can Rely On In Santa Barbara
I am a retired Catholic priest with inactive status who currently performs marriages as a Secular Priest. Since 1971, I’ve had the opportunity of marrying couples in San Diego, Orange, Los Angeles, Ventura, Santa Barbara, San Luis Obispo, Monterey, and San Francisco.
I welcome couples from all religious backgrounds, including those who desire a completely non-religious wedding. My method is highly personalized; I never give pre-written ceremonies for couples to select from. Instead, we work together to design a ceremony that is completely unique to you, reflecting your love story and ideals. This planning process often takes only one, two-hour session to create the ideal event.
“Your ceremony can be exactly as you want AND still be a bridge between what you want and what your families might want or expect. I help you build that bridge.“
— Father Jerry Bellamy
