kshops, & community gatherings. I have been officiating weddings for over ten years with loving couples from all over the world who come to this stunning area to marry. It is a joy to meet and get to know each couple and to assist in creating a marriage ceremony aligned with who they are and their vision for a meaningful and memorable wedding. I focus on spiritual and conscIous living, our connection to nature, love and trust, and the importance of respect & communication.

Love is bountiful with this 20 year anniversary vow renewal! Twenty years ago I was privileged to officiate my first wedding ceremony for Lynette & Julian Tolentino.
I was honored that they asked me to do this and thus began my journey as an officiant.

All these years later, as love grew even deeper after countless experiences, these two beautiful Beings chose each other again in this ceremony at The Jewel in the Forest. Such joy and celebration of Love & Marriage!

Weddings, Vow Renewals whether in elopement or larger wedding it's always about the Joy of Love and Unity.

Our Story

Sofanya....Officiant and Owner at The Jewel in the Forest

I am an artist and proprietor of The Jewel in the Forest, a magical property between Big Sur & Carmel, California. It has been a great blessing to live and work in this magical redwood forest since 1995.

It’s a huge blessing to offer beautiful wedding ceremonies as well as forest locations where you’re dream wedding can happen in a magical Redwood Forest.

I have been officiating weddings since 2004 with loving couples from all over the world who have chosen to hold their special ceremony of Marriage here in the beauty of Nature.
