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. ♥

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
Working with Tim was a dream come true! He made the whole process of working together simple and easy to understand. We had fun as a couple answering his questions and he drafted a perfect ceremony that us and our families loved. He came to our rehearsal and made us feel so at ease about the entire process on our wedding day. He also has a wonderful spirit and amazing stage presence. We couldn’t recommend him more! We are so happy he was a part of our special day. Thank you Tim!

Evan was amazing. He immediately felt apart of the family, he was so warm and welcoming and had such a grounding presence. Everyone truly felt Evan’s words and was a crowd favorite. He was very professional, funny, and kind! It definitely helped having him up there officiating us to calm our nerves. Although, our verse reading was missed (or it wasn’t coordinated clearly) it worked out in our favor. As the reader later didn’t have a speech prepared and read that instead. Everything happens for a reason. Thank you so much Evan. And Ken the bartender of course!! He was a “hoot”!

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.

Awarded Best of Zola
I can't recommend him enough. Not only was he extremely flexible and understanding, we could tell how much time he spent preparing for our special day. He tailored our ceremony to highlight our unique circumstances and story, and perfectly executed it to set the exact mood we wanted. During the reception, half of our guests were talking about him instead of us! All in all, an absolute joy to work with.

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
We were originally planning on having one of our best friends perform our ceremony, but we couldn’t bring ourselves to do it, after spending so much time and money planning the rest of our wedding, our ceremony couldn’t be left on the hands of an unprepared person. Therefore, we decided to look for officiants. After interviewing over 5, we knew Danny was the perfect fit for us. His communication skills and professionalism were outstanding. We inquired about his services on his website and we heard from him within minutes! We set up a phone call and he was so pleasant to talk to. He asked us what our vision was for our ceremony, our must have, and what we wanted him to not include. He allowed us to ask all the questions we wanted without feeling rushed. A month before our ceremony we met over zoom, which is super convenient. We went over personal questions so he could customize our ceremony to fit our story. He walked us through what the ceremony would look like the day of ur wedding so we wouldn’t have any surprises. He even asked us which color suit we wanted him to wear! The ceremony was perfect! He was super engaging, smiling the whole time, and my favorite part; he ran away the middle for our first kiss so he wouldn’t be standing in any of our pictures. Just perfection! Even after our wedding, he kept the communication going with my husband and I. He mailed our marriage license back the next business day, and he notified us once we were showing officially married on the county website! If you are on the fence or can’t decide to hire Danny, please make the investment! He is 100% worth it!

Beaverton, OR

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.

We had John be our officiant on June 28th, 2025 and we wouldn’t have it any other way! We met a couple times via video call to discuss the next steps. He was very respectful and thoughtful of who we were as a couple and John spent time writing a few different scripts for us to work off of for the ceremony (thank goodness, because I had no idea where to start) and we could tweak it however we liked. It was perfect. He is a lovely person to be around! Overall, working with EC Matrimony was a breeze and made the wedding planning so much easier.

Weddings by Ms. Ellie was an absolute pleasure to work with. Their communication was great - they were polite, responsive, and any questions we had were easy to answer. When it came to the quality of their work and the value they provided, they 100% nailed it!! They sent us a questionnaire ahead of time that we filled out, and Ms. Ellie incorporated all of that personal information and key details about our lives seamlessly into the opening remarks of the ceremony. She really took the time to make our special day feel truly unique and personal. If I could give them 10 stars, I absolutely would.

We were going back and forth between having a family member or a professional officiate, and we eventually landed on Miriam. It truly felt like the best of both worlds because it feels as though we made a new friend in her. Miriam has such an warmth about her, and you can tell that they truly love connecting with couples to make each ceremony perfectly "them." They listened to all our ideas and created a ceremony that was so unique to us and full of little personal details. Miriam also coordinated and ran our rehearsal, which made the logistics feel so easy. On our wedding day (and even days after!), so many of our guests came up to us to say how beautiful the ceremony was and how much they loved it. We cannot recommend Miriam enough!

I've been married since 2006 to my wife, Ellen and we have three beautiful children: Kate, Meredith, and Owen.

Our chosen officiant flaked out a month before the wedding and luckily, Lem was available. I already knew vendor quick response time, a contract and more good reviews than bad were requirements. Lem fit all these; was friendly, helpful and rates were reasonable and average. Lem stood out to me because another officiant recommended him. He listened to our needs and was a total professional on the wedding day. A great choice.

His speech was the perfect mix of lighthearted jokes, love, personal stories from our relationship, and information and feelings from my husband and I.

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 never had a rehearsal and there was some last-minute logistics to plan on the wedding day but by the end of it, everything ran smoothly.

David was absolutely amazing, and we truly could not have had a better experience.

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!

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.

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.

Emerald Elegance Ceremonies

PHILADELPHIA, PA
  • Offers 10 ceremony types

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 made our Nigerian elopement unforgettable. She took the time to understand our story and honored the memories of my late father and grandmother so beautifully. Her words were comforting, powerful, and meaningful. From our very first conversation she listened, really listened, to the details about how my husband and I met, the values we wanted to hold in our marriage, and the elements we hoped to include in the ceremony. I love how she even incorporated details that reflected my husband’s Nigerian roots. I’ve been to many weddings before, which are often long, drawn out, and not truly about the couple as they all tend to sound the same, but this ceremony was different. It was personal, heartfelt, and rich with the traditional elements of marriage. Emerald was very friendly, professional, and genuine throughout the entire process. I would gladly recommend her to anyone who wants a ceremony filled with meaning and authenticity.

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.
