I’m Ann Van Winkle, a notary and certified interfaith officiant based in Santa Monica, CA. Through A Very Special Marriage, I help couples with meaningful wedding ceremonies, ceremony consulting, and wedding-related notary services.

My work focuses on making the marriage process feel clear, personal, and well supported. I offer assistance with California confidential marriage licenses, marriage license services, and notary needs connected to weddings and ceremonies. Whether you are planning an intimate ceremony or need guidance with the required documents, I bring a professional, friendly approach to each appointment.

I’m committed to helping couples create a smooth experience from license details through the ceremony itself, with attention to both the practical steps and the significance of the occasion.
