Hi, I’m Yvonne — Lead Officiant - Founder, and your personal hype woman for one of the biggest moments of your life. I am Texas based and I’ve married over 400 couples, and no two love stories have ever been the same. I started officiating as a tribute to my sister, who passed away unexpectedly in 2023. She loved us all deeply and wholeheartedly, and celebrating life’s big moments without her was the hardest part of losing her. Helping couples honor their journey and love story has been my way of healing — one beautiful, heartfelt ceremony at a time. Whether your vows are traditional, bilingual, or totally outside the box, I’m here for it. ♥

Awarded Best of Zola
We couldn’t have asked for a more perfect officiant for our wedding. Yvonne brought so much warmth, intention, and genuine care to our ceremony. What meant the world to us was how beautifully she included our fur babies—she made them feel like an important part of our big day. She also memorialized our sweet Chance in the most touching, respectful way. It brought tears to our eyes and made us feel like he was right there with us. The way she honored him showed how deeply she understands the love people have for their pets and the impact they have on our lives. Our ceremony was meaningful, personal, and unforgettable because of her. If you want an officiant who truly listens, cares, and creates a ceremony that reflects your heart, she is the one. Highly, highly recommended!

Tim Greathouse, Ohio Wedding Officiant 
Rating: 5.0 (61 reviews)
Canton, OH
  • Offers 10 ceremony types
  • Starts at $150

What’s the right wedding ceremony for a religiously independent couple? A courthouse ceremony is cold, impersonal, and over in a flash. A church ceremony is usually just a long sermon to which your actual ceremony is a sideshow. Pick your poison - a quick, dry affair with no heart, or a long, tedious slog that flies in the face of your worldview. Or... chuck that poison and grab the champagne. I got you, boo! I perform deeply personal, customizable ceremonies for couples who care about the content of their ceremony and want the declaration of their love and commitment to be truly unforgettable. 800+ ceremonies, 500+ rehearsals, 17 years!

Before you read my review, go book Tim NOW before it’s too late! It will be the best decision you make (other than saying YES!, of course). Tim officiated our wedding on April 25 at Waters Edge Vinyard in Louisville, Ohio. My wife and I found Tim online and instantly fell in love with his quirky and thorough website. After calling Tim up, we quickly realized we wasn’t lying—he really does love his job! At that point, we knew that no one else but Tim could officiate our wedding. Tim is an expert in his craft and a skilled orator. More importantly, he is a great guy. Tim will put in the time that your special day deserves. On your big day, he will speak passionately about love and commitment and find a way to share your love story in a way that will make the crowd shed a tear. We had so many guests ask us who Tim was, how we knew him, and whether he had a card. Tim was a hit! And we are so thankful to him for making our wedding day an unforgettable one. I can’t forget to mention his impeccable fashion instincts. 10/10.

Thinking about having your good friend officiate your big day for you, but unsure of how they will do? Well what if your good friend was a professional with over 2,300 weddings under their belt? That's the best way to describe what we shoot for at MBE ... being the good friend that definitely knows what to do when the moment counts! Whether you plan to have an intimate elopement ceremony or if you've been working on your dream wedding for months, we'd love to help you make your day one to truly remember. Our goals are to help you decide exactly what you want to do on your big day and to do everything we can to make it come to life!

Awarded Best of Zola
Having Evan officiate our wedding was one of the BEST decisions that we made during the wedding planning process. Conor and I settled on the Gold Wedding Service which included a fully customized ceremony that absolutely exceeded our and our guests expectations. Several guests asked if he was a personal friend of ours and almost EVERYONE we talked to commented on how our ceremony was beautiful, thoughtful, and personalized. We even had a few comments saying it was one of the best, most engaging ceremonies they have witnessed. From the moment we first met with Evan, he was incredibly professional and very clear that he was there for us, to help us plan the ceremony of our dreams. Meeting with him helped us remember that while all the details of a wedding are important, it is a day to celebrate our unique love story and lifelong commitment to each other. He was an incredibly grounding presence during the last weeks of planning (chaos), especially during the ceremony rehearsal. His years of experience were evident and helped us and our family to feel as prepared as anyone can be for one of the biggest moments of our lives. Additionally, he helped us, our maid of honor, and best man execute an absolutely FLAWLESS handfasting ceremony while reciting our vows. This was a dream come true for us and it was a highlight for us and our guests. We cannot say enough wonderful things about Evan. Our wedding ceremony will forever be one of the best moments of our lives. Absolutely outstanding. Thank you, Evan!

Chris was an absolute pleasure to work with for our wedding. Not only did he make the entire process smooth, it stimulated discussions about old memories between my husband and I that brought us back 10 years! Luckily, 2 of our best friends had used Chris as their officiant before our wedding 3 years prior and when we got engaged, he was the first vendor to come to our minds! He made us and our guests laugh throughout the ceremony with some quick witted humor, reminded us of what it means to move through this new chapter as a married couple, but also brought such ease on a chaotic day! Our guests were raving about him which just re-iterated that it was our best decision as we planned the wedding. Chris even did a special shoutout to my family out of state who couldn’t make the wedding which made it even more special for us. Hands down, Illuminating Ceremonies with Christopher Shelley will not disappoint.

Hi! I’m Danny! A wedding officiant who believes your ceremony should be the heart of your wedding day — personal, joyful, and true to your love story. Whether you’re dreaming of a meaningful, story-driven ceremony, something short & sweet, or a little in between — I’m here to guide you, support you, and create a ceremony you’ll remember forever.

Awarded Best of Zola
Danny was an incredible officiant! From the first interaction his supportiveness of love and marriage is apparent and his professionalism and passion for his work is second to none. His calls to learn his couples and the way he incorporates that information into his speech was very touching and makes the entire ceremony feel so much more personal. He worked with our thoughts of what we wanted to have read within the ceremony and what type of unity ritual we wanted - which we actually ended up opting for his signature “tequila” unity. Our family and friends continue to make comments about how beautiful and impactful his words were and we’ve probably listened to our ceremony video 3 or 4 times in the last two weeks still absorbing his message of commitment and beauty of marriage. We are so thrilled to have had Danny as our officiant and would recommend him 100x over for the couple looking for a beautiful, customized, clear and memorable wedding ceremony! Thanks a million for being the perfect addition to our milestone!

Beaverton, OR
  • Offers 10 ceremony types

A Portland native, and founder of EC Matrimony, Ernie has become an expert in all things weddings. Having recently stepped away from a career in Marketing/Public Relations, Ernie has taken his business from part-time to full-time in 2021 to help more couples realize their wedding dreams. Throughout his 18 years in the industry, and having performed over 3,000 weddings, it’s easy to see why he’s been featured in bridal magazines, national IG posts, and been featured in Huffington Post twice, and on realty TV. Add to that the dozens of national awards he’s won over the years, and you can tell why he’s in demand as a wedding officiant.

Ernie was amazing and a huge help to my partner and I, I was the most nervous about the ceremony and he made us both feel super comfortable and explained everything really well and has been doing this for years but you can also just tell how much he enjoys doing it. He made the process so much easier and stress free and it was a perfect ceremony. Thank you Ernie!

I'm Rev. Dr. Jeff Saville, (call me Jeff) a retired Navy chaplain with 26 yrs military service and real church pastor (not just ordained online). I can lead a highly customized & personalized wedding ceremony at a winery, golf club, beach, on a military base or in a hot air balloon! Or if you just need to be quickly/legally married very inexpensively, I do that too! When you contact me you will quickly receive detailed info, a sample but customizable ceremony, and offer times for a free consultation by videocall to answer questions about levels of service (Gold/Silver/Bronze), the fees, OPTIONAL Premarital Counseling and more!

Jeff can be described in one word. Outstanding! We originally went with Jeff since he is a retired Navy Chaplain, as a Marine that was an instant pro fro me but he also; helped and made the process of planning the wedding from the opposite of the country easy with video calls, while still making time to meet us prior to the wedding to get face to face time as well as run a walk through of our wedding day. He was also able to do a good portion of the ceremony in Spanish to help my in-laws understand what was happening and make them included in the ceremony. He helped us plan out for amazing pictures of the ceremony down to what he would wear. He coached up the bridal party on their roll in the ceremony so everything went smooth. The only negative thing I can say about Jeff is; well I didn't get to spend more time with him! He is amazing and funny and I genuinely cannot recommend him enough. If you're looking to add the perfect Pastor/Officiant for your perfect day Jeff is an easy inclusion.

She sent us a questionnaire to get an idea of what kind of ceremony we wanted, and to capture our love story. Kym offers so many different options both religious and non, and she worked so hard to create the perfect ceremony for us. As anyone planning a wedding knows, there is so much that goes into planning, and Kym made everything to do with the ceremony so easy! I’m not religious or traditional in any way, and Kym found us not only the perfect ring vows, but created the perfect ceremony to fit our theme and who we are individually as well as a couple. Kym even helps you if you want to write your own vows! Everyone is still talking about how gorgeous our ceremony was! Thank you Kym for everything, we love and appreciate all of your hard work so much. You helped us create memories that we will never forget! I wish I could give 50 stars for all of your hard work! You absolutely can’t go wrong with picking Fanciful Hearts for your wedding!

Emerald Elegance Ceremonies 
Rating: 5.0 (16 reviews)
PHILADELPHIA, PA
  • Offers 10 ceremony types
  • Starts at $400

I became a wedding officiant in 2023 because I believe ceremonies should be anything but boring. This is the moment two people declare their love, it should be heartfelt, engaging, and unapologetically YOU. My ceremonies are so personal and memorable that guests often ask, “How long have you known Emerald?” From emotional vows to inside jokes, first-date stories, flower-grandmas, and even that one uncle’s pill alarm going off mid-ceremony, we’ll work together to and make sure your ceremony is one of the most memorable parts of your big day!

Emerald Elegance Wedding Ceremonies deserves all the accolades! Emerald is the utmost professional, bringing kindness and enthusiasm every step of the way. She was so well organized, quick to propose helpful suggestions for the ceremony, considered aspects of the ceremony we didn’t even think of, and truly guided us through the process (even the marriage license process - which is the biggest wedding day to-do haha). My husband and I had our wedding this past Halloween and admittedly were behind on our vendor search. We were so grateful when Emerald was available to officiate our wedding on just a few weeks notice. She crafted the most beautiful and perfect ceremony - my partner and I were both in tears just in the zoom meeting. The day of, Emerald took control and guided the ceremony effortlessly. She made sure to allow us a moment to take in the view of all our loved ones during the ceremony, made sure to make our guests a part of the vows and walked us through our responses. I cannot sing her praises enough - and our guests all absolutely raved about Emerald all throughout the day and evening. Do not hesitate to book Emerald!! We hit the jackpot, and could not have asked for a more perfect officiant, ceremony and even the process leading up to the big day. Thank you so much for making our day so perfect, and for reflecting so much love into our ceremony. We cannot wait to follow your business’s growth and see you win all the awards!

Where do I even begin. Pat was ABSOLUTELY amazing. We met with Pat before signing with Koru Ceremony and knew after that short meeting she would be the one to marry us (I even canceled my other appointments with other officiants). Pat took time to get to know us, who we were individually and as a couple and created a ceremony that was absolutely us. When we first got our script for approval, I cried. We also received so many compliments after the ceremony on how great it was executed. We couldn't have asked for a better day and Pat started the afternoon with a beautiful ceremony, one we could have only dreamed of.

Sandy made our wedding ceremony absolutely perfect! From beginning to end she helped us so much. Sandy was always super easy to get a hold of. It never took her more than a day to respond back to any emails we sent her (which to anyone planning a wedding knows is key to have vendors respond as quickly as possible). She made the ceremony so unique by reaching out to some of our friends and family to ask them question about my husband and I and incorporated their answers into the ceremony, which made us and our friends and family feel even more apart of the ceremony then they already were. And everyone knows that one of the post stressful parts of all of this is writing your vows. Which Sandy knows (of course) and she goes above and beyond to help with that she gave us a detailed list of things to incorporate (if you decide to write your own) along with a list of already made vows that you can choose from or use to help create your own version of. Which helped so much to alleviate some of the stress of it all. If I were to do it all again I would choose Sandy every time she was so helpful through the planning of it all and when it came to the actual execution of it, it was perfect and true to her business name, felt like it came right out of a storybook written just for us.

About wedding officiants

What kind of weddings can officiants help with?

We’re proud to offer officiants that offer secular weddings that focus on the couple’s love, commitment, and personal values; as well as officiants aligned with specific faiths. These officiants can perform ceremonies according to the traditions, rituals, and doctrines of that particular faith.

Can officiants help me with my vows?

We know that couples like private and personalized vows, and there are definitely some officiants who can help with this. We offer officiants on Zola that support non-secular ceremonies that allow you to tailor your vows and commitment in a memorable and meaningful way.
