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!

Before you read my review, go book Tim NOW before it’s too late! It will be the best decision you make (other than saying YES!, of course). Tim officiated our wedding on April 25 at Waters Edge Vinyard in Louisville, Ohio. My wife and I found Tim online and instantly fell in love with his quirky and thorough website. After calling Tim up, we quickly realized we wasn’t lying—he really does love his job! At that point, we knew that no one else but Tim could officiate our wedding. Tim is an expert in his craft and a skilled orator. More importantly, he is a great guy. Tim will put in the time that your special day deserves. On your big day, he will speak passionately about love and commitment and find a way to share your love story in a way that will make the crowd shed a tear. We had so many guests ask us who Tim was, how we knew him, and whether he had a card. Tim was a hit! And we are so thankful to him for making our wedding day an unforgettable one. I can’t forget to mention his impeccable fashion instincts. 10/10.

Our goals are to help you decide exactly what you want to do on your big day and to do everything we can to make it come to life!

Awarded Best of Zola
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 
Rating: 5.0 (45 reviews)
Flushing, NY
  • Offers 7 ceremony types
  • Starts at $900

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.

Awarded Best of Zola
Danny was an incredible officiant! From the first interaction his supportiveness of love and marriage is apparent and his professionalism and passion for his work is second to none. His calls to learn his couples and the way he incorporates that information into his speech was very touching and makes the entire ceremony feel so much more personal. He worked with our thoughts of what we wanted to have read within the ceremony and what type of unity ritual we wanted - which we actually ended up opting for his signature “tequila” unity. Our family and friends continue to make comments about how beautiful and impactful his words were and we’ve probably listened to our ceremony video 3 or 4 times in the last two weeks still absorbing his message of commitment and beauty of marriage. We are so thrilled to have had Danny as our officiant and would recommend him 100x over for the couple looking for a beautiful, customized, clear and memorable wedding ceremony! Thanks a million for being the perfect addition to our milestone!

A Portland native, and founder of EC Matrimony, Ernie has become an expert in all things weddings.

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.

Ernie was amazing and a huge help to my partner and I, I was the most nervous about the ceremony and he made us both feel super comfortable and explained everything really well and has been doing this for years but you can also just tell how much he enjoys doing it. He made the process so much easier and stress free and it was a perfect ceremony. Thank you Ernie!

We cannot recommend Miriam highly enough! She was kind and caring, professional, and extremely good at her job, for a very decent price. She helped our wedding go so smoothly and we are so incredibly grateful she was part of our special day! Our photographer heard we were looking for an officiant for our wedding, and passed along Miriam’s information. From the moment we connected with her, we felt her warm and friendly energy and felt totally at ease about planning our wedding ceremony! Before we met Miriam, we were not really sure what we wanted our wedding to be, but we did know we wanted it to be written by us, and as a queer couple we did not want a “traditional” wedding. It started off feeling overwhelming with so many details to plan overall, but as soon as we met with Miriam, we felt completely at ease and even excited about the process! We threw out some ideas that wove in our New Age/paganistic spiritual beliefs, and Miriam reached out to her pagan priestess friend and did a deep dive researching for our ceremony and coming back to us with so many wonderful ideas. She thoughtfully and creatively wove all the important elements we hoped for into a beautiful ceremony, down to every detail. She was open to our ideas, and supportive through every step of the way, right up until we were there in the moment getting married, and even after the ceremony. She helped make our wedding so special, and we got so many compliments on how “us” our ceremony was and what a great job Miriam did. 100/10, would recommend, do yourself a favor and take this as your sign to book with her!

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, 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!

Dr. Jeff was such an amazing person to work with. I am all about paying for quality, and I feel like I got what I paid for and more. We initially decided to choose him because of how organized he was, this is something I care deeply about so it was nice to see how dedicated he was to staying organized for his customers. We began with an initial video call to do introductions, and he made the interaction feel like I was talking to a friend. We picked a package where my now husband and I had a mini rehearsal at Dr. Jeff's home in Temecula. This felt so personal and was ultimately super helpful to ensure we knew what to do on the day. We also hired him to do the formal rehearsal at our rehearsal dinner the night before the wedding. Without this, I honestly am not sure how I would have been able to wrangle my wedding party. Dr. Jeff is so knowledgeable and truly thought of everything! He even let us choose the outfit he was going to wear, this is something I didn't even consider, but it was really so cool to be able to choose. The ceremony went so well and everyone thought he did an amazing job. He worked closely with us customize our ceremony and gave us all the tips and tricks to have a beautiful ceremony. Overall, I had an amazing experience with Dr. Jeff. He is by far one of the best wedding choices I made. If you are unsure about spending the money for a quality officiant with a kind heart, I am telling you that you should take the leap. We did and we are so thankful we did!

We are so glad we booked Rev. Dave as our officiant for our wedding. He really took the time to get to know us over the course of our pre-marital counseling sessions and worked hard to write a very personal ceremony script for our special day. He also added some unique personal touches that brought a ton of joy and laughter to our wedding. Our family and guests would not stop commenting on how special our ceremony was - and we agree! We would recommend Rev. Dave to anyone looking for an officiant for their wedding. He is a joy to work with!

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.

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.

Kimberly from Fanciful Hearts Wedding Ceremonies made our wedding ceremony truly special. She communicated with us quickly and clearly throughout the entire planning process, which made everything so easy.

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.

Emerald Elegance Ceremonies

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.
