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. ♥

Yvonne officiated our wedding a month ago and we couldn’t have been happier! We felt an instant connection from our first meeting and she made us feel at ease during every call. We really appreciate that she took the time to learn about our love story and provided a customized ceremony, in English and Spanish! She also checked in post wedding day and sent reminders regarding the marriage license. All in all, we highly recommend booking her as your officiant!

Tim Greathouse, Ohio Wedding Officiant 

5.0

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.

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.

Why settle for the same clichéd, predictable service everyone else uses? You're unique, and your wedding should be, too. I'll work with you to design the perfect ceremony to match your own individual style and personality.

Awarded Best of Zola
A few hours after my husband and I got engaged, I asked him, "What if we just had a super tiny wedding and got married in a week?" Cue a mad scramble to find an officiant, photographer, and venue. We had already spoken to one potential officiant who didn't ask us any questions or tell us what he was planning to do—not great—so when our photographer recommended Dave, we were thrilled he was available. When we met up over Zoom to talk, it was clear he's very smart and funny, and loves love without being mushy about it. He crafted a ceremony that was short and sweet, complete with a reading that was a great match for us. I loved that he sent us the full script with free rein to adjust it to our liking. I, an endless word-fusser, only made one small change. On the day, he was already laughing with our witnesses when we arrived, and it set the scene so beautifully for us to have a joyful, laid back ceremony. It was perfect. He's happy to provide ideas but really wants the ceremony to work for you as a couple. He'll talk about his outfit options for you to choose from. (We went with a navy suit but he has a rad hot pink one too if that fits your vision. I suspect he would gamely wear an Iron Man costume or KISS makeup if that were your dream.) That open thoughtfulness extends to whatever kind of ceremony you want—big or small, religious or secular, traditional or offbeat. Zero judgment, just a steady stream of smart questions, good ideas, and caring support. And he writes the best emails. I haven't laughed that hard or felt so sparklingly clever in writing in years.

When we began planning our wedding, we thought it would be nearly impossible to create a ceremony that would make everyone happy. My husband and I come from very different religious backgrounds, and we truly had no idea where to start. Left to our own devices, we probably would have just gone to the courthouse, but we knew our families (especially mine) hoped for something much more traditional. I was so pleasantly surprised to find Your Wedding Officiant and learn that we could build a ceremony from scratch- one that honored tradition while still feeling true to us. We worked closely with Reverend Dennis, who guided us every step of the way. He was incredibly kind, communicative, flexible, and such a pleasure to work with. Thanks to him, we were able to create a beautiful ceremony that thoughtfully blended our families’ values with our own preferences. I can’t overstate how meaningful it was to have so much control and customization without sacrificing reverence or structure. I would recommend Your Wedding Officiant to absolutely anyone.

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.

And his delivery? Oh, my goodness! It was pitch-perfect! He barely glanced at his notes but rather spoke to us and to the crowd.

I am not an affectionate person. I was not looking forward to being put on display in front of 200 people to get married. But I did know that K would help me get through it. K was our officiant for our Wedding in 2019 and I couldn’t have asked for a better person. As a family friend, I knew K could give us the ceremony we wanted, and boy did she deliver. We wanted spiritual but not religious, we wanted special but not cheesy, and most of all we wanted someone calm, cool, and collected like K. From the blessings before dinner to the entire ceremony she made everyone feel welcome and loved. I honestly think I looked more at K than my now husband during the ceremony because I was so nervous. K has a genuine presence that makes everyone feel included, important, and at ease. She has a calmness about her that is infectious and makes you want to be a better person. I can’t recommend K’s services enough! No matter your event, whether it be a celebration or a time of need, K will provide that beacon of light to help you get through it.

Kayelily is a true professional!  From the first time meeting with her, throughout the entire process - Kayelily made sure that our wedding ceremony was very “us”.  She went above and beyond in her duties as the officiant and I couldn’t recommend someone more to be part of your big day.  Kayelily came prepared with handkerchiefs and wiped tears away during the ceremony.  We had a brief audio issue and she handled the entire situation with ease!   All of our guests commented on how lovely and personal the ceremony was.  It truly set the tone for the rest of the evening.  Truly can’t thank her enough for being part of our life moment!  We are very grateful she was recommended to us and cannot stress how amazing she is! Cheers!

The Resonant Officiant 

5.0

Clayton, NJ
  • Offers 9 ceremony types
  • Starts at $200

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.

Kaitlin, the officiant from The Resonant Officiant, was a true professional and pleasure to work with. Her communication style was collaborative, clear and authentic, which put us at ease throughout the entire process. The quality of her work was excellent, as she thoughtfully crafted a personalized ceremony that felt both meaningful and precise. When unexpected challenges arose, like the windy conditions that threatened to blow out our unity candles, Kaitlin seamlessly adjusted her script to keep the moment authentic and special. She also provided invaluable guidance and support, helping me with my vows when public speaking made me nervous. Kaitlin's warm personality, attention to detail, and genuine care for creating a memorable ceremony have left a lasting impression on us, even years later. We highly recommend The Resonant Officiant to any couple looking for an officiant who will make their wedding day truly unforgettable.

Where do I even begin. Pat was ABSOLUTELY amazing. We met with Pat before signing with Koru Ceremony and knew after that short meeting she would be the one to marry us (I even canceled my other appointments with other officiants). Pat took time to get to know us, who we were individually and as a couple and created a ceremony that was absolutely us. When we first got our script for approval, I cried. We also received so many compliments after the ceremony on how great it was executed. We couldn't have asked for a better day and Pat started the afternoon with a beautiful ceremony, one we could have only dreamed of.

We had an incredible experience working with Dawn from Vows By Dawn for our wedding ceremony. From the moment we first reached out, she was responsive, polite, and incredibly knowledgeable, walking us through every step of the process - from the wedding application to the vows to the name changes afterwards. Dawn was so honest, professional, and caring throughout, making it easy for us to rely on her even though we didn't live in the area. The ceremony itself was smooth sailing and so lovely, with Dawn guiding us through seamlessly.

Heidi is an absolute gem of a human. She came recommended to us by our wedding photographers and was the perfect officiant for our LA elopement. We felt a connection to her from the very beginning and she made us feel like family. Over the course of several months, we worked together on crafting our personalized ceremony that included a hand fasting and tarot card pull. We then completed a questionnaire that was used to tell our love story. I was genuinely taken aback at the heartfelt way our answers wove together to tell the story of our relationship. I should also mention how meaningful it was that our final tarot card that we pulled was The Heirophant - literally the marriage card. It made our ceremony feel even more magical! We are so grateful for her involvement in making our day perfect — and we are glad to call her Aunt Heidi!

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.
