He guided us through planning the ceremony with clear communication over email, phone, and video calls, and even hosted a mini-rehearsal at his home and answered all of our questions with great detail. On the wedding day, he arrived looking great in the outfit we’d chosen and took time to coach everyone through their roles before the ceremony. The ceremony itself was beautifully led—thoughtful, heartfelt, and seamless. Afterwards, he even sent us photos he had taken, which was such a kind touch.

“If you don’t follow Danny on social media, I encourage you to do so because you’re able to get a great idea of how he is with people, as well as the sincerity, joy, and love he brings through with his officiating. Danny met with my then-fiance and me in the weeks before our ceremony, to get to know us better and learn more about what makes us, “Us.” On the day of the wedding, he did a phenomenal job during our ceremony to convey the depth of emotion, and the strength in our relationship. He was eloquent yet down to earth, caring, and kind. Many guests commented afterward (and still do to this day!) about how beautifully he'd performed our ceremony; our story is an emotional one and Danny captured the essence of us so well. Thank you SO much, Danny. It would not have been the same without you!!”

The resources and guidance he provided was invaluable in helping us put together our plan for the ceremony, and in bringing it to fruition. Communication was always super fast, and any questions or uncertainty we had he cleared up immediately. He’s a genuinely nice person and we got along great with him!

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!

He is so personable and professional and truly made our ceremony feel so special and unique to us—we even had guests asking how we knew him, or if he was a family member or old friend. He puts in the effort to learn about us as individuals and as a couple and crafts a ceremony that is specifically tailored to our love story. We laughed and cried and everything in between—it was so special. Our ceremony was our absolute favorite part of our day and we have Tim to thank for that. 11/10 recommend.”

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
“There are some people you meet during the wedding planning process who simply feel like they were meant to be part of your story, and Yvonne with Blissful and Beyond Unions was one of those people for us. From our very first conversation, she made us feel completely comfortable, cared for, and understood. What started as premarital counseling quickly felt like two friends sitting down with someone who genuinely wanted the best for our marriage. We were nervous about premarital counseling at first, especially knowing that we would have to tackle some hard and vulnerable conversations. But Yvonne created a safe space for us to open up, laugh, and reflect. She listened to our entire millennial love story, laughed with us, and even almost shed a few tears along the way. What makes Yvonne so special was that she never made us feel like we were just another couple she was officiating. She took the time to learn who we were, what mattered to us, and how we wanted our wedding ceremony to feel. And she truly listened. She took everything we shared and brought it to life so beautifully. Our ceremony was everything we hoped it would be and more! She performed a beautiful bilingual service and incorporated both the lasso ceremony and jumping the broom, making the ceremony feel deeply personal and representative of us, our love, and our families. She absolutely knocked it out of the park!!! Yvonne has a gift for making people feel like family… your Tia, if you will! My girl married us, parties with us, and became a part of our tribe. We genuinely could not have imagined anyone else marrying us. If you are looking for an officiant who will take the time to truly know you, make you feel comfortable, and create a ceremony that feels authentically yours, book Yvonne with Blissful and Beyond Unions. We couldn’t recommend her more!!!”

“Dawn has a very friendly and warm way about her that made us feel calm on our special day. This was realized during our initial phone encounter with her a week before we met to discuss any last minute details. Right from the beginning, we found Dawn to be patient, caring, and very attentive to every detail. We are from out of state and it did not take long at all for Dawn to earn our trust during all of the planning. In addition, Dawn was extremely flexible with the date that we chose to get married, July 4th, which has a special meaning to us. We were doubtful that it was possible to get married on the 4th, but Dawn made it happen! Dawn was such a great help by providing us some examples of wedding vows which became very useful when writing our own. We can’t thank her enough for that. If you are considering Dawn to be your wedding officiant, look no further. You have found the best!

His energy was calm and genuine, and he has a personality that instantly makes you feel like you’ve known him for years. He made the entire marriage license process effortless. He clearly explained exactly what we needed, prepared all of the paperwork, brought everything to the ceremony (even a copy for my name change), and handled the filing afterward so all we had to do was sign. Throughout the planning process, he was always happy to answer questions and offer thoughtful advice and recommendations whenever we needed them. Most importantly the ceremony felt personal, heartfelt, and authentic, not scripted or rushed. He helped create one of the most meaningful moments of our lives, and so many of our family and friends commented afterward on how wonderful he was.

Every ceremony is written from scratch to reflect your vibe, your values, and your story—not a template in sight.

“We couldn’t have asked for a better officiant for our wedding! Kevin was the first officiant we met with, and we knew right away that he was the right choice. He did such an amazing job making our ceremony feel incredibly personal and meaningful. So many of our guests told us afterward that it was one of the best wedding ceremonies they had ever attended. We even had multiple people ask us how we knew him because the ceremony felt so personal that they assumed he must have known us for years! He made everything feel completely unique to us and told our story in such a natural, genuine way. It was heartfelt, personal, and still had the perfect amount of humor. We’re so grateful for how special he made our ceremony and would absolutely recommend him to anyone looking for an officiant!”

“I had the pleasure of having Carla officiate my wedding in September and she was a joy to work with every step of the way. She really takes the time to get to know you and your relationship with your partner, by the time we had the wedding Carla was like a part of the family! She helps a lot with other wedding questions as well and gives valuable insight. She had everyone laughing and smiling during the wedding and brought an amazing/loving vibe to the whole event. I highly recommend Carla to anyone who wants to have a loving and joyful officiant!”

I am an ordained minister based in the Charlotte metropolitan area. I've served a local church as a minister and music director in the region for over 20 years. I've had over 30 years experience of helping couples plan and facilitate their wedding ceremony, in grand or intimate venues, either as an officiant or as a musician. I grew up in a small town outside of Athens, GA and graduated from the University of Georgia (GO DAWGS) in 1995 with a Bachelor of Music degree concentrating in piano and voice. I've been married since 2006 to my wife, Ellen and we have three beautiful children: Kate, Meredith, and Owen.

Awarded Best of Zola
“My husband and I completed the pre-marital course & had an intimate ceremony officiated by Norma. She is the absolute sweetest. She was very communicative & professional throughout the entire process. The process in itself was smooth & easy— no hassle whatsoever. During our ceremony, she was very patient and expressed her excitement for us. Even after the ceremony, she followed up with information to ensure that we knew what the next steps were (although she had previously shared this information in the course). I appreciate that she made what could sometimes feel like an overwhelming process so simple & Christ centered. She is truly doing the Lord’s work & it is obvious that she loves what she does. Overall, 10/10 — highly recommend!”

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.
