Welcome. Over the years, couples have told me again and again that they had difficulty finding a black wedding officiant. So, I created the site BlackWeddingOfficiant.com to help couples find me and my business, Your Custom Ceremony.

My name is Chris Dickens and I am an award-winning black wedding officiant. If you found that site and/or made your way to this page, chances are that you searched for terms like “black wedding officiant” or “African American wedding officiant”, or maybe you stumbled across this page completely by accident. Whatever the reason, I am glad that you are here.

If you are in the Southern California area and you would prefer an African-American minister or wedding pastor, look no further. I serve Orange County, Riverside County, Los Angeles County, San Diego County, and beyond.

I have been officiating weddings since 2010 and I have well over 120 amazing, 5-star reviews! Please take a look around, check availability, and even schedule a FREE consultation. If you have any questions, feel free to contact me.
