Elissa

I became ordained because I value love, connection, and the power of meaningful ceremonies. Being able to stand with couples on one of the most important days of their lives and help create a moment filled with joy and authenticity is something I feel called to do.

I am Lebanese, based in Los Angeles.

I hope to bring warmth, elegance, and a personal touch to wedding ceremonies. My goal is to make couples feel seen, celebrated, and supported while creating a beautiful and memorable experience for them and their loved ones.

While I am ordained through the Universal Life Church, I come from a Christian background and welcome couples from all walks of life. I am happy to perform religious, interfaith, or non-religious ceremonies based on what best honors the couple’s beliefs.

I believe every love story is unique, and I design ceremonies to reflect the couple’s personalities and values. I bring warmth, sincerity, and a calming presence that helps couples feel at ease so they can fully enjoy their special moment. Whether simple and intimate or elegant and traditional, my focus is on creating a meaningful ceremony that feels authentic to the couple.

I primarily serve Southern California (Los Angeles, Ventura, Santa Barbara, Palm Springs, and San Diego), but I am also available for weddings across the U.S. Couples booking outside of California will be responsible for travel and lodging fees.

I work closely with couples to craft personalized vows, thoughtful readings, and a ceremony flow that reflects their vision. My goal is to create a memorable experience not only for the couple, but also for their family and friends, leaving everyone with a sense of joy and celebration.
