By profession, I am a health policy research scientist, but I have loved weddings for as long as I can remember. I have always been fascinated by the joy, emotion, and careful planning that went into every ceremony. I was especially impressed by the role of the officiant and the meaningful part they played in creating such memorable moments. Several years ago, a close relative was planning their wedding, and approached me to officiate. The couple and I agreed, I became licensed, and the rest is history.

Stan was exactly what we needed for our ceremony. We told him upfront that we wanted something nice and quick, and he delivered precisely that without any confusion or back-and-forth. His communication was straightforward and easy to work with from start to finish. On our wedding day, Stan showed up on time and performed a ceremony that felt personal and polished. He understood what we wanted and made it happen. We'd recommend Weddings by Stan to any couple looking for an officiants who listens and gets the job done right.

With This Ring Wedding Ceremonies 
Rating: 5.0 (1 review)
  • Offers 10 ceremony types
  • Starts at $250
  • Serves Bay Village, OH

Reverend Karen is more than just an officiant; she's your dedicated cheerleader in crafting a deeply meaningful and personalized wedding ceremony that celebrates your unique love story. With over 20 years of experience, now officiating full-time, Karen specializes in working with couples who desire a heartfelt ceremony outside of a traditional church setting.

From our first conversation with Karen at With This Ring Wedding Ceremonies, we knew we'd made the right choice. She sent us a questionnaire called "love story" and worked those personal details into our ceremony, which made the whole thing feel like it was written just for us. Karen also gave us samples of different vow styles and ring exchanges so we could build the perfect ceremony for us. On the day of our wedding, she had thought through every detail and our guests kept mentioning how special and personal the ceremony felt. Her communication was clear throughout the planning process, and she truly took the time to understand who we are as a couple. We couldn't have asked for a better officiant.

Tim Greathouse, Ohio Wedding Officiant 
Rating: 5.0 (90 reviews)
·Ratings include Zola and Google reviews
  • Offers 10 ceremony types
  • Starts at $150
  • Serves Bay Village, OH

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!

Awarded Best of Zola
Like any great love story! The moment I found Tim’s website, I knew he was the one! The last line of my vows was “Till your unsolvable murder do us part”. Not just any man is up for that job. I knew he would see the humor of it. What I didn’t know was how amazing of a person he really is. The poem he read. Was so spot on for us! We settled who would read their vows first over a game of rock, paper, scissors. We laughed so much. He truly made the ceremony so memorable! I highly recommend Tim!

Awarded Best of Zola
I genuinely cannot imagine our wedding without Evelyn and the Love & Laughter Weddings team. We live out of state and got married at my family’s estate in Carmel by the Sea, so from the beginning I knew we needed a wedding planner. We worked with Evelyn for about a year and a half and somehow every detail turned out even better than my pinterest dreams. Evelyn is truly a rockstar!! She is organized, kind, patient, and has this incredibly calming presence that makes you feel like everything is going to be okay, even when your anxiety has you convinced it is not. She was there for every planning call, every random question, and every panic email I sent after having some ridiculous wedding related dream in the middle of the night. Nothing ever made her seem overwhelmed. She would just calmly talk me through it, come up with a solution, and suddenly whatever I was stressing about didn't feel like a big deal anymore. We also used their in house design services, officiant, and live music and I cannot recommend them enough! Having so much of the wedding managed under one roof made planning SO easy and everything was incredibly cohesive. At some point during planning Evelyn told me that the goal for wedding day was “no thoughts, just vibes” and that became our running joke, but she was completely serious lol. When the wedding weekend finally came, I genuinely turned my brain off. I wasn't checking the time or worrying about setup or wondering what was supposed to happen next. For the first time in a year and a half, I wasn't thinking about the wedding, I was just IN it and enjoying it because I knew Evelyn had everything covered. Hiring Love & Laughter was hands down one of the best decisions we made. Evelyn, thank you for giving us the wedding of our dreams and for allowing me to actually experience and enjoy it instead of managing it. I would hire you again and again a million times over.
