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. ♥

Awarded Best of Zola
We chosed Yvonne from Blissful & Blessed Unions to officiate our wedding and we couldn't have been happier with that decision. From our first conversation, she was responsive to all our questions and made the planning process smooth and stress-free. On our wedding day, Yvonne arrived on time and brought such a warm energy to the ceremony. What really stood out was how quickly she translated our vows from English to Spanish, making sure both sides of our family felt included and connected. Her genuine personality shone through every word, and she helped create a truly beautiful moment that reflected who we are as a couple. We'd absolutely recommend Yvonne to any couple looking for an officiant who cares about getting the details right.

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
“How long have you known Tim?” Since we got married, this has quickly become one of the most common questions from friends and family. The honest answer is just under a year. In that time we had a couple of phone calls, a handful of texts and emails, and most importantly his questionnaire. And somehow, that was all Tim needed to write the perfect ceremony for us. Our ceremony was so personal and so perfectly "us" that we couldn’t stop talking about it for weeks afterward. If most of your experience with weddings has been religious weddings, it can be difficult to envision what a non-religious wedding ceremony can look like. Tim's process and questionnaire are structured so that you can take the time to think through and decide what you do and don't want for your ceremony. There's zero pressure to do things "because it's tradition", and he's conscientious to ask how you want to be introduced. We took our time filling out the questionnaire and researching readings, and it ended up being one of our favorite parts of planning the wedding. Tim is LGBTQIA friendly, open to skipping any traditions you don’t want, and excited to help make something new and fresh if that’s your vision. He has such a warm, affable, calming presence on the day of the wedding that puts everyone at ease. We can’t recommend him enough, and we’ll keep telling anyone who asks: hire Tim as your officiant!

From our first conversation with The Officiant Jawn, we knew we had found the right person to marry us.

Awarded Best of Zola
One of the most complimented parts of our entire wedding day was our ceremony, and that’s all thanks to our incredible officiant, Evan. From the beginning, we knew we wanted a ceremony that felt meaningful and personal, and Evan delivered that and so much more. He met with us ahead of time, walked us through everything, and really took the time to understand our story. When the big day came, he absolutely nailed it. He shared our love story in such a heartfelt and light-hearted way, beautifully weaving in some of my favorite scripture. There was laughter, happy tears, and so much joy…he truly set the tone for the rest of the day, and helped calm my nerves more than he probably realized. To top it all off, Evan is a true jack of all trades, his company also offers bartending services! Right after the ceremony, he jumped behind the bar and kept the good vibes going. So many of our guests told us how much they enjoyed chatting with him and how great the service was. If you're looking for someone who can do it all,and do it with heart….Evan is your guy.

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
If you don’t follow Danny on social media, I encourage you to do so because you’re able to get a great idea of how he is with people, as well as the sincerity, joy, and love he brings through with his officiating. Danny met with my then-fiance and me in the weeks before our ceremony, to get to know us better and learn more about what makes us, “Us.” On the day of the wedding, he did a phenomenal job during our ceremony to convey the depth of emotion, and the strength in our relationship. He was eloquent yet down to earth, caring, and kind. Many guests commented afterward (and still do to this day!) about how beautifully he'd performed our ceremony; our story is an emotional one and Danny captured the essence of us so well. Thank you SO much, Danny. It would not have been the same without you!!

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.

EC Matrimony was an excellent choice for our wedding officiant. We got to work with Ernie, he was the best! He was very fast to respond to all our questions and was incredibly clear in his explanations and guidance throughout the process. Working with Ernie was easy going and completely stress-free, allowing us to focus on all the other wedding planning details. His professionalism and attention to detail ensured our ceremony went off without a hitch.

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.

My signature strength is transforming your love story into a ceremony that feels authentic, intentional, and emotionally resonant for both you and the people who came to celebrate you. My role is to listen carefully, understand what matters most to you, and craft a ceremony that reflects your values, culture, humor, and connection.

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.

David was absolutely amazing — both professional and so personal at the same time! From the very beginning, he walked us through everything, from customizing our ceremony to making sure we knew exactly what to expect on the big day. He took the time to really get to know us, and it showed in every single part of our ceremony. What we loved most is that David somehow feels like both a pro and a friend. He’s organized and experienced, but also warm, kind, and genuinely cares. You never feel like just another client with him — you feel supported, understood, and completely taken care of. He was such a great communicator throughout the whole process — super responsive, always available if we had a question, and just so easy to work with. During the ceremony, he absolutely shined. He spoke clearly and with purpose, enunciating every word so that every guest could hear and feel the meaning behind what he was saying. His timing, tone, and presence were perfect — confident, engaging, and full of heart. We can’t say enough good things about David. Having him as our officiant made our wedding day even more special.

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.

I’ve known Kym for many years, and when the love of my life asked me to marry him, I knew there was only one person for the job! I called Kym right away, and even though I had run away to South Carolina, Kym was happy to take us on. She sent us a questionnaire to get an idea of what kind of ceremony we wanted, and to capture our love story. Kym offers so many different options both religious and non, and she worked so hard to create the perfect ceremony for us. As anyone planning a wedding knows, there is so much that goes into planning, and Kym made everything to do with the ceremony so easy! I’m not religious or traditional in any way, and Kym found us not only the perfect ring vows, but created the perfect ceremony to fit our theme and who we are individually as well as a couple. Kym even helps you if you want to write your own vows! Everyone is still talking about how gorgeous our ceremony was! Thank you Kym for everything, we love and appreciate all of your hard work so much. You helped us create memories that we will never forget! I wish I could give 50 stars for all of your hard work! You absolutely can’t go wrong with picking Fanciful Hearts for your wedding!

Koru Ceremony Llc: Celebrating New Beginnings was a wonderful choice for our wedding officiant. Their communication style was very thorough, as they were in constant contact with us to ensure every detail of the ceremony was exactly as we preferred. The quality of their work and value was exceptional, as they demonstrated a detailed and sincere concern for making our special day perfect. We particularly appreciated how Sarah, our officiant, checked in with us frequently to understand our preferences and make sure the ceremony reflected our vision. Sarah was great to work with - she was very sincere and helped guide us through the process seamlessly. We highly recommend Koru Ceremony Llc to any couple looking for an officiant who will go above and beyond to make your wedding day unforgettable.

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!

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.

We loved working with Sandy! From our initial phone call we knew she would be the one to perform our ceremony. She is professional through and through, AND has a warm and friendly personality perfect for getting to know us as the couple. Our favorite part was how she included our friends and family into our ceremony and it was such a personalized ceremony. She did an amazing job up there and was a calming presence for us. Sandy really guided us through the whole thing from beginning to end. She was invaluable to us and we had such an amazing time working with her!! Would recommend 1000/10!!

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.
