Gia Ilole
Ordained Minister in Oak View, California
Why did you originally become an ordained minister online?
I'm a certified funeral celebrant and own a business called Seasons of Life Celebrations where we create beautiful and intentional celebrations from birth to memorials and every milestone between. We focus on secular but still spiritual, traditional or contemporary ceremonies and so I wanted to be ordained for weddings as well as funerals.
Where are you from?
I currently live in Ventura County but I perform services in many areas of California.
What do you hope to achieve with your online ordination?
I'd like to make myself available to officiate weddings and create ceremonies that feel perfect for the couple.
Religious Affiliations
None
What do you think makes your ceremonies special as a Oak View, CA wedding officiant?
The joining and continued partnership of a couple is an honored celebration for both those joined and the family and friends that supports and nurtures their partnership. For secular couples this ritual is just as important but is no longer guided by traditional or religious parameters. Together we will define the ceremony plan, script, and atmosphere, creating a personalized ceremony that engages your audience and beautifully reflects the type of marriage and commitment you are celebrating.
Are there particular areas near you where you prefer to travel or have special experience?
I typically serve Ventura, Santa Barbara, San Luis Obispo Counties. I can also travel to LA, other Southern California counties or Fresno county for additional cost.
Types of Service Offered
Marriages, Same-Sex Marriages, Renewal of Vows, Handfastings, Funerals
Additional Information
I have built my business on my belief in the beauty of love and celebrating it, in whatever form that love and relationship comes in. I'm here to create a ceremony that reflects each couple uniquely and it's my honor to get to know each couple in a way that allows me to portray their essence through my words.
