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. ♥

Blissful & Blessed Unions were wonderful wedding officiants for our ceremony. From the very first phone call, she was excellent communicators - responding promptly to all of our questions and keeping us informed every step of the way. Their warm and professional demeanor put us at ease, and they tailored the ceremony perfectly to reflect our personalities and vision. On the day of, they arrived early, were extremely organized, and delivered a heartfelt and meaningful service - and she even stayed late to help out with decorations. We couldn't have asked for a better officiant team to make our wedding day so special. Highly recommend Blissful & Blessed Unions!

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!

Awarded Best of Zola
Tim was an absolutely incredible officiant and you can tell he absolutely loves his job. He makes a point to ask the perfect questions from his couples that will lead to such a beautiful ceremony. Our wedding was in September of 24, and we still get people mentioning how awesome Tim was. I'd totally suggest him to anyone.

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!

Illuminating Ceremonies

Flushing, NY
  • Offers 7 ceremony types

Most couples who work with me take their relationship seriously, but don't take themselves too seriously. They're educated, do Wordle, read the NY Times and have a healthy sense of reality. Since 2011, I've been writing and performing personal, meaningful and refreshingly engaging ceremonies. Couples work with me in an easy, collaborative way. I take guest experience and your wishes very seriously. I have the ability to command a room, a writer's knack for shaping a story, an emcee's sense of timing, and experience at the most prestigious venues. My BFA in Acting (Boston University) and MFA in Creative Writing (NYU) serve me well.

We love Chris! He was so incredibly genuine, kind, hilarious, and he knows how to handle a crowd. He was certainly born to be doing what he does. He spent months in communication with my husband and I making sure he knew us as a couple. I recently attended a wedding where the officiant mispronounced the brides name throughout the whole ceremony. Chris is the opposite of that. He’s going to know you and your story by the time he’s up there marrying you. And to top it all off, he dropped a wisdom bomb piece of advice on my husband and I, on the day of our wedding, that I think of often. I absolutely cannot recommend him enough!

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.

We truly cannot say enough wonderful things about Danny. From our very first interaction to the moment he pronounced us husband and wife, he was professional, organized, calming, and genuinely invested in making our ceremony perfect. Leading up to the wedding, Danny provided clear communication and thoughtful guidance so we knew exactly what to expect. He walked us through every detail — timing, posture, ring exchange logistics, even reminders to pause and take in the moment. As a bride, that level of preparation meant everything. It allowed us to feel calm, confident, and fully present on our wedding day. On the day itself, he executed everything flawlessly. He ensured the ceremony started on time, guided our wedding party seamlessly, and delivered a beautiful, heartfelt ceremony that felt personal and meaningful. His tone struck the perfect balance — warm, sincere, fun and engaging — while keeping things flowing smoothly. One thing we especially appreciated was how intentional he was about helping us savor the moment. His reminders to make eye contact, pause at the aisle, and truly take it all in are memories we will cherish forever. If you’re looking for an officiant who is professional, thoughtful, organized, and truly cares about your experience, Danny is your person. We are so grateful he was part of our special day and would recommend him without hesitation. Michael and Marissa

He curated the most perfect ceremony and those words will echo to a lifetime. We were seen, heard and cared for in a way that only someone who truly loves working with couples can do. There was never any pressure or push - he let us call the shots and tied it all together in the most BEAUTIFUL ceremony delivery. Trust me - HIRE HIM.

From our first conversation, Ms. Ellie made us feel completely at ease with her welcoming approach and genuine interest in our vision. She listened carefully to what mattered most to us and wove our faith into every detail of the ceremony, from the prayers to the specific words she chose. What really stood out was how authentic and heartfelt everything felt—it was clear she put thought into creating a moment that honored us and gave God the praise we wanted. Ms. Ellie's communication throughout the planning process was efficient and organized, yet she never lost sight of the personal touches that made our day special. She was kind and caring every step of the way, and on our wedding day she delivered a ceremony that felt straight from our hearts. We couldn't have asked for a better officiant to help us start our marriage.

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!!

David was absolutely amazing, and we truly could not have had a better experience. We did not start looking for officiants as early as the other vendors, and I was feeling a bit stressed about it, but David made the process as easy and seamless as possible. He worked with us leading up to the event to make sure that the ceremony felt like us and was happy to make any adjustments we wanted even right up to the event. We really appreciated that we could be as much or little involved in the details of the ceremony as we wanted. The ceremony was beautiful - not only did we think David was amazing, but we got so many compliments from our guests as well (and he also took care of all the paperwork which was very much appreciated so we could focus on all the other important things).

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!

Without a doubt, Jeff was the best investment we made for our wedding and for our marriage. With Jeff we invested in our marriage with his premarital coaching. Wedding planning can be stressful, and this coaching and relationship homework kept our minds on what was truly important. We met regularly with Jeff via video calls, and he graciously welcomed us into his home for our first coaching session and later for a ceremony rehearsal. The mini-rehearsal was incredibly helpful! He even taught us “the dip” at the end of the aisle, which we practiced together leading up to our big day. On the wedding day, Jeff arrived early, dressed to impress in an outfit of our choosing, and led the most beautiful ceremony. Multiple guests told us it was the best wedding ceremony they had ever witnessed. Personally, I felt an overwhelming sense of calm and joy on the morning of our wedding—something I truly believe was made possible by Jeff’s preparation, guidance, and genuine care. We are forever grateful.

Koru did and AMAZING job at putting together our ceremony! Our guests could not stop raving about how personalized and special the ceremony was. It was truly memorable. Deciding on an officiant was one of our tougher decisions for us during wedding planning. We went back and forth on asking a friend vs hiring a vendor. Pat was so personable and bubbly during our first meet, my husband and I knew the second we hung up on the Zoom meeting that we were going to hire her. Pat was so easygoing and responsive to questions/changes we made throughout the process. She was also a large help during our rehearsal and had a ton of great tips for the wedding party. Hiring Koru was one of the best decision we made for our wedding day.

At our wedding officiant business, we believe that love is a beautiful journey, and there's nothing more special than sharing that journey with couples as they embark on this journey. In fact John and I have been married for 39 years. We are both passionate officiants, dedicated to crafting personalized ceremonies that reflect each couple's unique story and vision. We bring warmth, humor and a genuine love for what we do to every ceremony we officiate. Let us make your dream wedding a reality, filled with joy, laughter and the love you deserve. Let's create a magical moment together.

Jane's Personalized Weddings was an impeccable choice for our wedding officiant. From our very first interaction, Jane was incredibly friendly and fun to work with. She was thoughtful and helpful throughout the entire process, from the "homework" she assigned us before the wedding to the ceremony itself. Jane made our special day even more memorable, and we are forever grateful. The guests at our wedding were impressed by the unique and warm ceremony she led. Jane has the experience and warmth you'd expect from a wedding officiant, and so much more. We felt taken care of every step of the way, and would highly recommend Jane's Personalized Weddings to any couple looking for an officiant who will make their wedding day truly special.

I've known Kim for a long time. I saw when her business started and how it's grown into something so beautiful that has blossomed and helps people. She puts her heart and professionalism into every ceremony she performs. No two ceremonies are alike because the couples and their stories are different and personal to them. My husband and I were Kim's 100th couple that she married. It's so amazing that she's almost married 250 couples by now!!! We were so happy and honored to have her write and lead our ceremony. Our ceremony was very intimate with my husband, myself, our young children, and Kim. This was the second marriage for the both of us. It was in a private and beautiful place that we chose that was special to us and our story. Kim met us there. Kim gets to know the couple getting married, the story of how they met, and what they want to include in their ceremony. If you need help with ideas she has a wealth of resources to help you get exactly what you want for your most special day. She's led many little and big ceremonies. We're so thankful for Kim and Fanciful Hearts Wedding Ceremonies. We wouldn't have wanted anyone else to marry us. We highly recommend them. Thank you.

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!

Awarded Best of Zola
Emerald was absolutely amazing for our wedding. Not only did she make our vision of a perfect ceremony come true, she added to it, making our special day a dream! The customization of our ceremony and the attention to detail was truly special. Including our guests in the ceremony and the annunciation of every word, with not one mishap, was truly appreciated. Most of all her communication was excellent and she treated us like family--caring for our personal mental space (outside of the ceremony). Her professionalism is top tier. Emerald worked at the highest level, and if I didnt plan to be married only this one time, I'd I'd use her again!

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.
