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
The ceremony was spectacular. She reached out to us to talk beforehand, and everything she said was truly beautiful. We had a reference from someone else, and we can confidently and wholeheartedly recommend her services. It’s clear that she loves what she does.

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
Like any great love story! The moment I found Tim’s website, I knew he was the one! The last line of my vows was “Till your unsolvable murder do us part”. Not just any man is up for that job. I knew he would see the humor of it. What I didn’t know was how amazing of a person he really is. The poem he read. Was so spot on for us! We settled who would read their vows first over a game of rock, paper, scissors. We laughed so much. He truly made the ceremony so memorable! I highly recommend Tim!

Great experience with Evan and his team. Easy to get in touch and Evan walked me through how to serve our guests in a way that made sense. We planned to do two signature cocktails, and then a selection of beer and wine, which was recommended by Evan and it worked out perfectly. As the bride, I was always here or there mingling with family as much as I could, and I trusted Evan and his team to take care of our guests, and they definitely delivered. Really happy with how easy he made the planning!

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.

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.

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

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!

At Wed By Norm, I design wedding ceremonies that feel powerful, personal, and unforgettable. I’m Norman I. Graham, a professional wedding officiant trusted by couples across NY, NJ, CT, PA, RI, and destination locations who want their ceremony to be the moment everyone remembers. 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.

Alex officiated our wedding and completely exceeded every expectation we had. He crafted a bilingual ceremony in English and Spanish that wasn't just translated—it was genuinely written in both languages, using each for what it expresses best. It was beautiful for our English-speaking guests and meaningful in an entirely different way for our Spanish-speaking family and friends. His entire approach was romantic, personal, and our guests were blown away. He kept the focus entirely on love and on us as a couple, creating a ceremony that was inclusive and joyful without ever losing sight of what the day was really about. As two grooms, it meant everything to have someone who honored our relationship with such care and intention. I've been to a lot of weddings. I have never heard so many guests spontaneously rave about an officiant the way they did about Alex. Weeks later, people are still bringing it up. He is the real deal.

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.

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.
