Alma Rose Middleton - Santa Barbara Certified Wedding Celebrant & Officiant

My name is Alma Rose Middleton and I live in beautiful Santa Barbara, California. I am happily married to the most wonderful man in the world as you soon will too (or wife). I can truly speak from my own experience that marital bliss does exist...my husband (and love of my life) being my biggest inspiration for my work in wedding celebrancy.

I am a non-denominational certified wedding Celebrant/ Officiant & Minister from the Celebrant Foundation & Institute in New Jersey and very proud to acknowledge that I am one of only 400 certified celebrants in the entire U.S.

I do not discriminate against any faiths, cultures or lifestyles. I am fluent in Spanish and will be happy to conduct your wedding ceremony in a bilingual manner.

Unique & Creative Personalized Ceremonies

As a celebrant, you learn to create unique rites of passage personalized ceremonies through rituals and creativity. For example, some of my signature rituals and ceremonies:

Use real seashells to pour from in the unity sand ceremony (not glass containers)
The sand dollar ceremony
Arch of hands ritual
First dance on the sand
Pearl ceremony
"Green" Wedding which encompasses all natural and green props

A Ceremony Should be as Unique as the Individuals & as Timeless as Their Love

I have a variety of ceremonies that I can use to form the foundation of your ceremony. I will craft a ceremony that will resonate with you and your guests. Ultimately, together, we will craft a ceremony that celebrates your love, your laughter, your vision, your dreams, and the uniqueness of your spiritual paths.

My friendly, light-hearted nature and sense of humor will transcend in a warm uplifting wedding ceremony. After all, love and commitment should be celebrated joyously!!!

Beachside Weddings on the Beautiful Santa Barbara Coastline

My specialty are beachside weddings on our beautiful Santa Barbara coastline along with wine country weddings in our enchanting Santa Ynez Valley. Whether your ceremony is formal or informal, I would be thrilled to officiate your wedding in other areas of Santa Barbara, Santa Ynez, Ojai, Ventura and Los Angeles counties.

I promise to bring “to the table” almost two decades of service in the wedding industry. My extensive experience started in wedding make-up artistry, then floral design, as event coordinator and now as a wedding celebrant/ officiant.
