Meet your officiants

A family affair

Reverend George

George Brandon

George Brandon has been officiating wedding ceremonies for more than twenty years, bringing warmth, sincerity, and a calm presence to one of life’s most meaningful moments. Ordained through the Universal Church of Life, he takes great pride in creating ceremonies that feel personal, inclusive, and memorable for every couple.

Beyond his role as a wedding officiant, George is a keen photographer and painter. Much of his professional career has been spent helping individuals and professionals connect, communicate, and build meaningful relationships—skills that naturally carry over into the ceremonies he leads. For the past two years, he has also written a monthly business development column for the Daily Journal.

Born and raised in London, England, George now lives in Los Angeles and is available to officiate weddings throughout Southern California. He is also happy to travel farther afield, subject to availability.
