Meet Danny Bardales

We had the good fortune of connecting with Danny Bardales and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Danny, what do you attribute your success to?
As a wedding officiant, my approach centers on creating a personal and memorable experience for every couple I work with. The most important factor to my success and brand is ensuring couples feel that a friend is officiating their wedding. I achieve this by connecting with each couple authentically, getting to know them on a deeper level, and truly understanding their love story. By doing so, I can craft a ceremony that reflects their unique bond.

I collaborate closely with them throughout the planning process, making sure every detail aligns with their vision. My goal is to bring their dream wedding ceremony to life, ensuring that it feels intimate, meaningful, and reflective of who they are as a couple. This genuine connection and commitment to creating an unforgettable ceremony are the foundation of my success and the heart of what sets my officiating services apart.

Let’s talk shop? Tell us more about your career, what can you share with our community?
As a wedding officiant with years of experience in public speaking, I take great pride in being able to ease the nerves of couples during one of the most significant moments of their lives—their vows. I understand how emotional and vulnerable that moment can be, and my ability to connect authentically with couples allows me to help them feel comfortable and confident as they share their promises. By alleviating their nervousness and guiding them through the ceremony with calm assurance, I ensure they can fully embrace the experience.

Building my career as an officiant wasn’t easy. It took courage, resilience, and a commitment to applying the steps I learned along the way—despite the challenges I faced. I’m proud of what I’ve built from the ground up, and each experience has taught me the value of persistence, authenticity, and the power of connection.

I want the world to know that my brand is rooted in creating deeply meaningful, personalized wedding experiences. My goal is to make every couple feel heard, seen, and supported as they embark on this beautiful journey together.

If you had a friend visiting you, what are some of the local spots you’d want to take them around to?
If I were to take my friend on a day out in Los Angeles, I’d definitely make sure to hit up the tastiest spots in the city, ones that not only serve amazing food but also have an unforgettable ambience with great music, excellent service, and a welcoming environment. We’d start with Anajak for some incredible Thai food, then head over to Sushi Songagi for top-notch sushi. For Mexican food, Damian or Frida’s would be perfect—both offering delicious flavors and a vibrant atmosphere.

After all that great food, we’d grab drinks at Harriots Rooftop, with its stunning views and chill vibe. And of course, no LA day would be complete without a midnight snack, so we’d make a pitstop at In-N-Out. To top it all off, we’d catch a Laker game, and knowing my friend, we’d end the night with a movie at The Grille in Glendale. It would be the perfect mix of good food, fun, and memories!

Who else deserves some credit and recognition?
I want to give a huge shoutout to my incredible friend Penelope and her team at EventsLC! They’ve been a critical part of jumpstarting my career in the wedding industry, and their support, guidance, and belief in me have been invaluable. I truly wouldn’t be where I am today without them.

I also need to give a special shoutout to my best friend and older sister, who was the first person to allow me to officiate her wedding when I was just 19 years old. That moment ignited a deep passion in me for officiating and orchestrating wedding ceremonies that couples will never forget. Her trust in me not only gave me the experience I needed but also set me on the path to doing what I love every day. Both of them have been instrumental in my journey, and I’m forever grateful for their support and encouragement!
