Josh Withers, Awesome Wedding Officiant in Mexico

I create epic wedding ceremonies. Really good ceremonies. Marriage ceremonies that people like you like, but also your parents, grandparents, and even that obligatory person you invited from work. They will all love your fun, human and not-at-all-weird wedding ceremony. I’m an English speaking, Australian civil (aka not religious) wedding celebrant, based in Los Cabos, in Baja California Sur, Mexico.

Travelling for weddings in and around Mexico

I am based in Baja California Sur, so weddings at Todos Santos, La Paz, San José del Cabo, Cabo San Lucas, Los Cabos, El Pescadero, Playa Los Cerritos, Isla del Espiritu Santo, Loreto and right around the Baja Penisular is an easy drive for me. There is no travel fee for weddings in Baja sur.

Travelling around Mexico to the most popular destinations for weddings is easy for me as the San José del Cabo International Airport is nearby. Riviera Maya, Cancun, Puerto Vallarta, Oaxaca, Riviera Nayarit, Cozumel, Isla Mujeres and Ensenada are all within reach.

Americans, Canadians, and Australians travelling to Mexico for a destination wedding are advised to apply for a marriage certificate/license in their home government district to save the money of legalising a Mexican marriage back home, plus saving money on name-change fees.

You deserve an epic wedding.

I became a wedding celebrant (or wedding officiant if you prefer that term) because I got sick of going to weddings where the important part (the ceremony) was boring and weird, and the afterparty (the reception) was epic.

Why can’t we have an epic wedding ceremony as well, I thought.

So I’ve been making epic wedding ceremonies since 2009.

Who is Josh Withers?

I’m a dad, a husband, an Aussie, and a nerd.

Born in 1981, so depending on who you ask I’m either Gen X or Gen Y. Either way, I’m a Foo Fighters fan boy, an Apple nerd, and when it comes to PlayStation versus Xbox I choose Nintendo.

I’ve been a marriage celebrant in Australia since 2009, when I was appointed a Commonwealth Authorised Marriage Celebrant by The Australian government. Since then I’ve married people just like you all around the globe. Some of my favourite destinations include the California, Hawaii, New York and Portland in the USA, Canada, Iceland, Italy, Croatia, New Zealand, Indonesia, and of course all around my home land of Australia. I’ve also been the wedding officiant on the TV series, Married At First Sight.

In a marriage ceremony I value real and honest vows, truth, normal language and words, human connection, no BS, zero traditions that don’t mean anything to you, and all the traditions that do.

I think the best marriage ceremonies are about people, not traditions or religions.

Plan a wedding with intent, beauty, simplicity, and awesomeness.

That kind of wedding has a really good marriage ceremony, that’s what I create.

For over a decade I’ve been creating the best wedding ceremonies on the planet, my Facebook and Google reviews tell their stories.

Costs

An information pack with an indication of any travel costs will be emailed when you enquire.

marriage certificate

For a destination Mexican wedding I recommend completing your marriage legals, marriage license, and marriage certificate closer to home for ease of life.

style

My marriage ceremony style is closer to freestyle poetry and storytelling than it is sermon or rehearsed weird thing an old person did at a wedding once. I make honest human wedding ceremonies that are fun and awesome.

audio and video

I believe a wedding ceremony that is awesome should be heard, so depending on location I’ll bring my own PA system or I’ll ask that you or your DJ can provide one with a wireless microphone, that way we can make an awesome wedding video as well.

travel costs

If it costs me money to fly or travel to your wedding, I’d ask you to cover those costs. If it doesn’t cost me because I’m already there or it’s a short drive away, then there’s no costs. Simple.

Servicing all of Mexico, but located on the Baja Peninuslar in Todos Santos, so local weddings with no travel fee are in Los Cabos, Cabo San Lucas, San Jose del Cabo, Todos Santos, Pescadero, and La Paz.
