Awarded Best of Zola
I’ve known Norman (and the newlyweds) for years, and watching him lead the ceremony was truly amazing. I had the pleasure of being a bridesmaid, and they honestly couldn’t have picked a better officiant! He made everything feel so warm and personal, heartfelt, and even a little fun! He gave us smiles, he gave us laughs, and he perfectly captured the couple’s personalities. Weddings can be hectic and stressful, but he made sure that on the big day they were calm, confident, and completely at ease in front of everyone. It was very natural, very organic, and I loved that. The ceremony flowed beautifully, and so many of us were smiling, laughing, and even tearing up at the perfect moments. The bridesmaids cried, the groomsmen cried, we all cried. But it was all happy tears, such a beautiful thing to be apart of! We all had such a great time, and you could just tell how much thought and care he put into making their day special. If you want someone who’s professional, warm, and makes the whole experience unforgettable, someone who’s going to reflect on your personalities and your journey as a couple, and someone to really move and make your guests feel that love in the atmosphere, Norman is the man to call! You surely won’t regret it.

Royal Treatment With Tiara NJ Wedding Officiant

Hey, I’m Tiara — your modern, non- denominational officiant known for vibrantly authentic ceremonies rooted in heart, humor, and soulful storytelling. I don’t just officiate, I lead. Through story-led ceremony design and a mic-drop delivery, I bring your guests into your love story in a way that feels effortless, elevated, and entirely yours.

One of the best services I've ever hired (and best for this industry!) Tiara is such a wonderful professional that really changed my opinions on such services. Her lavish hospitality for her Royal Treatment will make you feel like you're truly Royalty! (Granted you are of your own life, but this service is top tier!) I was skeptical at first and adding another cost on a wedding can feel overwhelming at times, but I truly felt Royal Treatment with Tiara was worth every penny and more! She took us through a process where she really got to know us as a couple, as individuals, and listened attentively to the details of our wedding vision. We could tell right away that she actually cared and was thankful to be chosen by us and to work together. And as she went through her process... we went through some of our favorite moments, and in some ways, fell in love with our love all over again. During wedding planning that love is surely there as we all know, but Tiara has a gift of bringing us back to the best of us and really getting you into those loving positive feelings. It was really cool! Then with the ceremony and planning phases, Tiara was so knowledgable and resourceful. She really could pick up what we were putting down, having a traditional ceremony with a more spiritual feel. She was also versed in all the religious traditions in our area which was really cool; knowledgable and reliable. She knew what we wanted, which made it easier to plan and talk through as we refined it to our exact wishes. Tiara responded quickly, in detail, and helped resolve any small things we asked her help with. She had a wonderful schedule for us to check in and follow through with that made our day of seamless. Our event coordinators and on site coordinators gave very favorable remarks and loved working with her too. The Royal Treatment was easy to work with other vendors. All with a smile and genuine pleasant attitude. Tiara is a wonderful soul and my wife and I truly am so grateful to her and her services. We weren't quite sure what to expect and thought it would be a pre-scripted thing and "oh this money for that", but once we experienced her as a vendor, we may go as far to say she undercharges! Because it was that meaningful, impactful, and such a joy. My wedding day was the happiest moment of my life and it's partly due to how great the Royal Treatment with Tiara is! We we're not disappointed and 100% would recommend her to anyone who needs an officiant. If you're reading this from another part of the world, I would also recommend flying her out; you're day will be so special if you do and you won't regret it one bit! Thank you so much Tiara, and Royal Treatment for witnessing us Tie Our Knot! May everyone who needs you, find you, and get to lavish in your wonderful experience!

Michael did a perfect job officiating our wedding. The entire process was so easy. From our initial calls, to working on the script he put together, to helping my now wife with her vows on the wedding day - Michael was so helpful and easy to work with every step of the way. We had an idea of what we wanted in a ceremony, and Michael took our loose ideas and absolutely nailed it. The ceremony he put together for us was absolutely perfect. It felt like he had known us our entire lives. We had several guests ask where we found such a great officiant and comment on what a great job he did. We weren't putting a huge emphasis on our ceremony, as we had always wanted a ceremony on the shorter side, but it ended up being one of the highlights of the day. We'll treasure those moments for the rest of our lives, and Michael is to thank for that. We're absolutely thrilled with Michael & our ceremony and we would recommend him to anyone without a doubt!!

The Resonant Officiant

  • Serves Bedminster, NJ

My Grandfather was one of the first people in my life to hand me a microphone, and I have found myself holding one ever since. My name is Kaitlin, and I go by The Resonant Officiant. To “resonate” means to “ produce or be filled with a deep, full, reverberating sound” and my goal is to co-create a ceremony that leaves both the guests and the couple with a sense of connection, hope, and lasting memory. Our ancestors were deeply rooted in ritual practices, and while those exact rituals may not fit quite the same as they once did, they brought people together as a strengthened unit - a sense of belonging all beings deserve to experience.

Awarded Best of Zola
Picture it, Clayton NJ, 2025. You’re about to have the spooky wedding of your dreams in the middle of the woods, but you’re not quite sure how to start or even close out your ceremony. Kait was there the entire way. Perfectly curating the ceremony to our style. We laughed, we cried, and I didn’t poop my pants from anxiety because I knew she had us taken care of . We are not religious, but wanted to do some sort of ritual that captures us as a couple. No hand fasting, no sand, no unity candles. None of them seem quite right and then bam, Kait comes in with an idea not only have I never seen before, but it’s so perfectly us as a couple it brought tears to my eyes. She knew we were both artists and had us create a picture together. The first piece of art we created as one unit. Our hands were shaky so it’s wonky, but it’s my favorite thing ever. I’m still not sure why you’re reading this and haven’t hired her already.

I’m Kesha Dionne. With nearly 20 years in the wedding industry, I’ve been part of countless celebrations—each unique, yet centered around one meaningful moment. Over time, I’ve come to understand that while details may vary, the ceremony is where everything truly comes together. As an ordained officiant, I create custom ceremonies with care, intention, and respect for the moment. I work closely with couples to understand their story so the ceremony reflects not just what they’ve planned—but who they are.

From our first conversation, we knew Kesha from The Vibe & The Vows was going to be the perfect fit for our elopement. She had such a caring and warm approach to everything, asking thoughtful questions to understand what mattered to us and making sure our ceremony felt truly personal. Kesha nailed every detail—from the placement of where we stood to the exact words she used—and it was clear she put real intention into crafting our moment. On the day itself, she was an absolute godsend, keeping everything flowing smoothly and bringing this fun, charismatic energy that made us feel completely at ease. Even though we chose an intimate elopement instead of a traditional wedding, Kesha made it feel just as special and meaningful as any big celebration. We wouldn't change a thing about how she helped us say our vows.

Awarded Best of Zola
Researching our honeymoon destination, we stumbled across photos on the web taken by Jackie’s husband, Sascha, which led us to Jackie. So inspired were we by TeamReinking, we decided to put our complete trust in them and elope from Australia to NYC. We had literally just booked our wedding in Australia. Jackie was so easy to work with and we connected with her via emails and then the moment we met in person (literally just before our ceremony). Jackie helped us create the most beautiful ceremony in April 2023 at the Ladies Pavilion in Central Park, NYC. A special moment in time filled with shared promises, love, laughter and quite a few tears. It was an emotional day for us that had been 12 years in the making. Jackie is simply a delight and it was easy for us to just be ourselves in that moment. My husband is still talking about our beautiful ceremony with Jackie by our side. I think he’s your number 1 fan, Jackie!!! Our photos (taken by Sascha) are beyond stunning and the memories of our day and ceremony we will cherish forever. We would do it all over again in a heartbeat! Tick this one off your list, celebrant and photographer sorted!! I’d give a 6 star rating if I could!! Ps I think my husband is already planning for us to renew our vows in the future with TeamReinking!!

No one wants to sit through a ceremony they've seen a dozen times. That's where we come in. We create ceremonies that are funny, moving, a little unexpected, and completely, unapologetically you — not a template, not a script someone else already used, not boring. We're storytellers. We take everything you share with us — how you met, what makes you laugh, what makes you cry, what drives each other a little crazy — and turn it into something your guests will actually talk about. People have mistaken us for family. That's the goal. Collaborative.

When I started wedding planning, searching for an officiant was one of the top most daunting tasks purely because I didn't have any idea where to start. Our parents had gotten married in a church or temple and a lot of other non-denominational weddings we had been to had a friend or family member officiate - not something we were super keen on doing ourselves since we met in a speech and debate club in high school and wanted someone similarly comfortable with public speaking from go. I found Celia Milton via The Knot and I'm so glad I did. She was immediately very responsive to our inquiry and when we had our initial call with her over the phone we knew she would bring the right tone and energy to our ceremony. Celia has years of experience under her belt and it really shows in the ceremony she helped pull together. We had so many guests come up to us after the ceremony to rave about how it was one of the best ceremonies they had been to because it was able to strike so many different tones - funny and lighthearted, emotional and contemplative - in just thirty minutes. On top of that, Celia helped make the script personal to us and our journey together as a couple, which included a traditional handfasting and having our grandparents do guest readings. All in all, the ceremony she gave flowed so well and struck all the beats we wanted it to, which I think made it especially special for both us and our guests. I also want to mention it was so helpful having Celia in our corner given her many years of experience. She just knows weddings and knows a lot of wedding people! She pointed us in the direction of our cinematographer for example and otherwise gave a ton of great advice on other aspects of wedding planning personally over email and via her New Jersey Weddings Podcast which I listened to. That sort of experience really put me at ease that I had somebody to lean back on during wedding planning who has seen it all. Tl;dr - Our wedding ceremony was perfect and it was perfect especially because Celia Milton was our officiant. I cannot recommend her enough for the amount of amazing energy she brought to the planning process and the fact that the final product was just amazing down to the little touches. Thank you Celia!

Rainbow Ministries specializes in inclusive and LGBTQ+ weddings. Our mission is to provide a safe space for all walks of life. We focus on a couple-centered approach with custom scripts, while respecting all belief systems. We will create a beautiful ceremony together that truly reflects you as a couple.

Finding the right officiant for our wedding was a journey, especially as an LGBT couple. We wanted someone who truly understood us, not just a random person to perform the ceremony. When we met Carrie, we immediately knew she was the perfect fit! Carrie brought so much joy and thoughtfulness to our special day. Her speech was beautifully crafted, reflecting the essence of our relationship. During our pre-meeting, she really took the time to understand us as individuals and as a couple, ensuring that the ceremony felt personal and meaningful. I also want to mention that my wife and I aren't the best at keeping up with things, but Carrie kept us on track (without making us feel bad lol) and ensured we completed everything necessary for her to do her part. She even came for a rehearsal, making sure we all knew where to be and what to expect. Carrie brought her own personality to the event without overshadowing our special moments. It’s rare for guests to comment on an officiant, but we received so many compliments about Carrie! She truly made our wedding unforgettable. We can’t recommend her enough!

If you're looking for a unique, custom wedding ceremony, I highly recommend Katherine Hunter!

We enjoyed working with Katherine throughout the wedding planning process. She was responsive whenever we had questions and she was patient as we were navigating a lot of life changes while we planned our wedding. At the beginning of the planning process, we filled out questionnaires and Katherine used them to create the perfect custom ceremony for us. Throughout the process, we were able to review drafts of the ceremony and make any changes we felt were necessary. We loved how our final wedding ceremony was a true representation of us as both individuals and as a couple.

We couldn’t have asked for a better officiant than Jimm. From our very first meeting, he was warm, attentive, and genuinely invested in getting to know us and our story. He crafted a ceremony that felt personal, heartfelt, and uniquely “us.” Guests are still telling us how beautiful and meaningful the words were! Jimm struck the perfect balance between emotion and light-heartedness—he kept things sincere without being overly serious, and brought a calm, reassuring presence to the day. He was also incredibly professional and organized, helping guide us through the process with clarity and care. If you're looking for someone who will bring warmth, authenticity, and a personal touch to your ceremony, look no further. Jimm is the one!

My wife and I could not be any more satisfied with the ceremony performed by Just Married.. by Sarah! From our first message to our first phone call, it was clear that Sarah was the choice for us! She quickly responded to every question we had all throughout our communication. Sarah was right there every step of the way! She was understanding of the small changes that arose throughout the process, and her desire to assure our happiness was clear. Our ceremony came together naturally with a combination of my wife and I's ideas as well as Sarah's experienced recommendations. Her performance of the ceremony was wonderful, which was delivered in both English and Spanish. I cannot recommend Sarah enough! The next couple will not be disappointed by her professionalism, her kind personality and her dedication to assuring that you have the exact ceremony you want! Thank you! Michael and Angela

Michael McLoughlin was an excellent wedding officiant for our special day. His communication style was attentive and he always responded quickly to any questions or requests we had. As a pastor, he delivered the ceremony perfectly and ensured everything went smoothly, even driving a little out of his normal travel zone to arrive early and have a quick review beforehand. Michael is a very good Christian man who really listened to what we wanted and then executed it flawlessly. His services were also provided at a reasonable price, making him an outstanding value. We couldn't have asked for a better officiant to be a part of our wedding.

I am Rabbi Nikki DeBlosi (she/her) (BA, MA, PhD). It is my passion and privilege to connect folks to the breadth and depth of Jewish tradition through inclusive, innovative, and insightful Jewish ritual. A tattooed, polyamorous, queer, suburban, stay-at-home parent, I was raised Catholic and converted to Judaism as an adult. I approach my work nonjudgmentally, and I know too many of us carry religious trauma. I want to make sure your wedding feels meaningful, relevant, and affirming. I'm an avid reader (especially romance), a fan of Buffy the Vampire Slayer, & a choral singer.

We had the privilege of working with Rabbi Nikki for our interfaith wedding ceremony, and we cannot recommend her highly enough. Nikki was organized and thoughtful about helping us structure a ceremony that felt true to both of our backgrounds while remaining accessible to all our guests. What really stood out was how she brought calm to the chaos leading up to the big day—she had prepared for every possible scenario so we felt completely covered no matter what happened. Nikki has a commanding presence and a beautiful voice that kept everyone engaged throughout the ceremony, and she made Judaism come alive for our non-Jewish family members in such a meaningful way that several of them said they only want to attend Jewish weddings from now on. Her collaborative approach meant we were true partners in creating something deeply personalized and insightful that reflected who we are as a couple. We're grateful for her guidance and creativity in making our day unforgettable!

If I don't respond quickly, please reach out to Embodied Union Ceremonies on Facebook. Embodied Union Ceremonies offers wedding and vow renewal ceremonies in New York and Puerto Rico. Led by Jillian Stella — a somatic healing guide with years of training in body-based practice and emotional regulation — every ceremony is designed so couples actually feel it while it's happening. The somatic work and the ceremony are one and the same: you arrive grounded, present, and inside the moment before a single word is spoken.

Jillian is truly one of a kind. Her thoughtfulness and attention to detail throughout the entire experience was unbelievable. The hour we spent with her changed our entire trip and the things that we learned are going to stay with us for a very, very long time.

I love working on weddings—a unique moment in couples' lives that I get to be a part of and help immortalize alongside them. Language often becomes a barrier, which is why I offer my services in Portuguese, English, and Spanish.

We were so grateful to have Nivea officiate our ceremony. She was easy to work with from the start and showed up right on time, which set a calm and positive tone for our big day. Nivea went above and beyond by conducting our ceremony in both English and Portuguese, making sure my husband's American family and my Brazilian family both felt the same emotion and connection throughout. She paid attention to every detail and crafted our vows in a way that felt honest and true to us. The ceremony itself was conducted beautifully and flowed perfectly. We couldn't have asked for a better officiant to help us celebrate our marriage.
