Hello beautiful people! I’m Delilah Gyves, your go-to independent celebrant at Kindred Ceremonies, and today I want to talk about the role of a wedding officiant—specifically, what it means to be one in the vibrant, diverse city of Los Angeles.
A wedding officiant is more than just the person who says, “I now pronounce you married.” As an officiant in LA, I get to blend legal responsibility with artistic creativity. I’m here to help you legally tie the knot, yes—but also to bring your love story to life in front of the people who matter most to you. And in a city like LA, where culture, style, and individualism collide in the best ways, there’s no room for cookie-cutter ceremonies. That’s where I come in!
Being an officiant in Los Angeles isn’t just about reciting vows; it’s about crafting a unique experience. I come from a theatre and film background, which means storytelling runs in my blood. Whether you’ve known each other for a decade or your love bloomed recently, my goal is to weave every layer of your journey into the fabric of your ceremony. I’m not interested in the generic “insert names here” script—I want your quirks, your passions, and your shared moments to shine.
LA is full of creative energy, and I bring that same vibrant spirit into each ceremony. With my urban upbringing and varied life experiences, I know how to add a little extra spice and style to make your wedding ceremony uniquely you. Plus, I’m all about breaking boundaries creatively—whether you want a rooftop wedding overlooking the skyline, a boho beachside elopement, or an intimate garden ceremony, together we’ll make your dream day a reality.
One thing that sets me apart is my perfectionist streak (hello, Virgo here!). I don’t settle for “good enough”—I work closely with you to ensure that every detail of your ceremony is flawless, because these moments matter. Weddings are vital milestones, not just for you as a couple, but for your families and friends who stand by your side, so getting every aspect right is a personal mission for me.
Los Angeles is a place where traditions meet innovation, and I embrace that in every ceremony. Whether you're looking for a spiritual, secular, or interfaith wedding, or if you simply want something that celebrates your love for each other in a uniquely LA way—be it classic Hollywood glam or a laid-back, bohemian vibe—I’m here to guide you through it. And spiritually, I feel connected to the universe’s energy, which I infuse into my ceremonies, offering them a sense of flow and balance that feels right for the moment.
At Kindred Ceremonies, I believe in the power of love, life, and connection. As your wedding officiant in Los Angeles, I’m more than just a witness to your vows—I’m here to make sure your ceremony is as extraordinary as the love you share.
So, let’s create something special together. You deserve nothing less.
With love and light,
Delilah Gyves
Kindred Ceremonies
