Lissin Lev Chaya, Wedding Celebrant and Officiant

It was an honor to have Lissin craft such a beautiful ceremony for us. She is sincere, caring and humble in her approach. We are so grateful to have found Lissin. She is truly a gentle spirit with a gift for making those wonderful moments even more amazing. Thank you, Lissin! -Rana and Morgan (Married 1.2.12)

Lissin Lev Chaya was perfect for our wedding that we just celebrated on August 6th, 2011, in Shakespeare Garden in Golden Gate Park, SF. It was important to me that Lissin is a trained Celebrant and not simply a religious person or typical officiant. Lissin was an impeccable professional, and we needed someone who would take our unique ideas for a destination gay wedding with six children and 75 guests and knock it out of the park. She did! She was willing to Skype with us to discuss personal wants and desires from the start, and all the way through the planning process she was divine. Our experience is that her services are a 5 out of 5, without hesitation. We combined our families with kids ranging in age from 24-10, a Hispanic caterer, a Flamenco guitar trio, an outdoor venue difficult to reach but absolutely stunning, and Lissin. It came together in our wedding rehearsal the day before, quickly we all knew what to do, where to stand, how to interact, and everyone was calm and happy. The next day was like a dream. She created for us a ceremony we'll never forget. Her presentation is so touching, and her voice so comforting and happy. She made our seventh anniversary and wedding pure bliss. We couldn't be happier. Thanks, Lissin! Steven Lee-O'Neal

Lissin is a huge reason we had the best wedding ceremony we could have ever asked for. We wanted to create a personal and heartfelt ceremony and she responded by providing just enough structure to keep our ceremony flowing and interesting to our guests, while weaving in stories, anecdotes, and humor to make it ours. She is a wealth of good ideas, information, talent, helpful suggestions, and easy to work with. When my brothers ended up hijacking our procession at the rehearsal, she just went with the flow and only responded with encouragement. I would confidentially recommend Lissin to help create all sorts of ceremonies, from traditional to something totally unique, and anything in between. - Paul

From beginning to end, Lissin provided a grounding and calm to the entire ceremony process. She helped shape our vision into into a ceremony that was personal and meaningful to not just us, but to everyone at the wedding. Our meetings served to clarify our hopes for the ceremony, wedding, and marriage. She listened well, had great ideas, and worked with us in a professional, yet intimate manner. Lissin was the best person we could have asked for to convey our story, our love, and our commitment to each other. I highly recommend Lissin for any type of wedding ceremony. She will not disappoint!

Through guided meditation, song, and prayer Lissin was able to foster a deep sense of reverence for this time in our life. Lissin brought not only spiritual depth to our ceremony but also was able to create a celebratory environment that allowed all of our guests to participate in. ~ Analise Elliot Heid, Montara, CA

"I can't say enough good things about Lissin and how happy we were to have her officiate our wedding. Her beautiful singing voice, reverence for spirituality, and dedication to personalizing our ceremony all helped to create one of the best days of my life. All of that said, one of my favorite things about having Lissin officiate our ceremony was her grounding presence which held a sacred space for us and our community."
