Eden West Weddings in Carmel: Our Family of Ministers

Featured below are some of California's most requested ministers. The five we have included on our website were unanimously selected by our wedding planners for their warmth, sincerity and integrity. In all our years of planning weddings, we have received nothing but praise for each and every ceremony we have coordinated.

Doug MacDonald Reverend Doug MacDonald

Reverend Doug is one of the kindest and most sincere people you will ever meet. All of his past couples have absolutely adored him! He specializes in ceremonies that tend to be more spiritual in nature but can also perform non-denominational and religious ceremonies as well.

"Marriage should be a commitment to life that brings out the best in each other and offers opportunities for growth that no other human relationship can equal."


Barbara Beckmeyer Reverend Barbara Beckmeyer

Every ceremony Reverend Barbara officiates is personalized to fit the dream of each couple. She happily spends a great deal of time and energy ensuring that your wedding is a time of complete joy and happiness.

Barbara has extensive religious schooling and is one of the few ministers on the peninsula that can perform a traditional Jewish ceremony.

"The two of you have come here to Carmel to start a new beginning in your lives and to make a commitment that, from this day forward, will allow you to walk together in life."


Denise Adkins Reverend Denise Adkins

Reverend Denise is truly one of a kind! She approaches each wedding differently as each are unique and special to her. After meeting in person, talking on the phone or e-mailing with the couple, Denise will help co-create the ceremony to ensure that it has a genuine connection and truly reflects the relationship. Also included is a wonderful package of sample ceremonies with additional reading and ideas.

"Whether you are two persons on the beach or a wedding with 150 guests, my goal is to work together with you to create a ceremony that truly represents who you are."


Josh Garrett Reverend Josh Garrett

Reverend Josh is the newest member to our family of ministers. His ceremonies come straight from the heart and his sincerity is absolutely genuine.

Josh is ideal for just about any type of union from contemporary to spiritual.

"Although fate will help you find your true love, the two of you must make a great marriage on your own. It is a physical and emotional journey that allows you to deepen, enhance and enrich your relationship as the years pass."
