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
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!

Hello and congratulations!! I absolutely LOVE officiating weddings! With over 30 years and 2,100 weddings officiated I want to do more. For the last 12 years my fulltime "job" is marrying couples! I feel so honored that I get to do this for a living!!

We were married this past April, and James Simmons really made our special day come together. He was fantastic to work with and just oozes experience and geniality. The resources and guidance he provided was invaluable in helping us put together our plan for the ceremony, and in bringing it to fruition. Communication was always super fast, and any questions or uncertainty we had he cleared up immediately. He’s a genuinely nice person and we got along great with him! We thought he was so funny and very sweet! :) On the day of, he ran the ceremony like an orchestra conductor - and knew when to step out of the way for the photos! Honestly, our ceremony couldn’t have been any better than it was and Rev Simmons was a critical part of that. He had an amazing speaking voice as well, and several guests commented on how well he did. We recommend him to anyone and everyone who is looking for an officiant!

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
Do yourself a favor and hire this officiant! The process was excellent start to finish! Yvonne got to know our story and created the most unique and beautiful ceremony, readings and vows for us for our elopement. We were both in tears! This was the perfect blend of lighthearted fun and sentimental touches and conveyed what was meaningful and important to us on our wedding day. We were completely blown away.

Canton, OH

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 is the BEST we could have hired for our ceremony. He is so personable and professional and truly made our ceremony feel so special and unique to us—we even had guests asking how we knew him, or if he was a family member or old friend. He puts in the effort to learn about us as individuals and as a couple and crafts a ceremony that is specifically tailored to our love story. We laughed and cried and everything in between—it was so special. Our ceremony was our absolute favorite part of our day and we have Tim to thank for that. 11/10 recommend.

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.

Chris is truly incredible at what he does. From the planning process all the way to the ceremony, he continued to make everything run smoothly. Not a single detail was missed.

He is an excellent speaker and made our ceremony the absolute best experience for us and our guests.

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.

My husband and I were really nervous about choosing an officiant for our wedding because we didn't know what to expect, but Lem made the entire process easy and seamless. He was very thorough, asking all the right questions to understand what we wanted our day to be like. Lem always followed up with us and made sure we knew what we needed when it came to the marriage license, taking that stress off our plate. He also made sure the ceremony was exactly what we wanted it to be, changing anything we asked him to. Lem took the time to get to know us better, which really shone through in the personalized ceremony he created. We are so grateful to Lem for helping make our wedding day special and memorable.

Hey, I’m Tiara — your modern, non- denominational officiant known for vibrantly authentic ceremonies rooted in heart, humor, and soulful storytelling. I don’t just officiate, I lead. Through story-led ceremony design and a mic-drop delivery, I bring your guests into your love story in a way that feels effortless, elevated, and entirely yours.

One of the best services I've ever hired (and best for this industry!) Tiara is such a wonderful professional that really changed my opinions on such services. Her lavish hospitality for her Royal Treatment will make you feel like you're truly Royalty! (Granted you are of your own life, but this service is top tier!) I was skeptical at first and adding another cost on a wedding can feel overwhelming at times, but I truly felt Royal Treatment with Tiara was worth every penny and more! She took us through a process where she really got to know us as a couple, as individuals, and listened attentively to the details of our wedding vision. We could tell right away that she actually cared and was thankful to be chosen by us and to work together. And as she went through her process... we went through some of our favorite moments, and in some ways, fell in love with our love all over again. During wedding planning that love is surely there as we all know, but Tiara has a gift of bringing us back to the best of us and really getting you into those loving positive feelings. It was really cool! Then with the ceremony and planning phases, Tiara was so knowledgable and resourceful. She really could pick up what we were putting down, having a traditional ceremony with a more spiritual feel. She was also versed in all the religious traditions in our area which was really cool; knowledgable and reliable. She knew what we wanted, which made it easier to plan and talk through as we refined it to our exact wishes. Tiara responded quickly, in detail, and helped resolve any small things we asked her help with. She had a wonderful schedule for us to check in and follow through with that made our day of seamless. Our event coordinators and on site coordinators gave very favorable remarks and loved working with her too. The Royal Treatment was easy to work with other vendors. All with a smile and genuine pleasant attitude. Tiara is a wonderful soul and my wife and I truly am so grateful to her and her services. We weren't quite sure what to expect and thought it would be a pre-scripted thing and "oh this money for that", but once we experienced her as a vendor, we may go as far to say she undercharges! Because it was that meaningful, impactful, and such a joy. My wedding day was the happiest moment of my life and it's partly due to how great the Royal Treatment with Tiara is! We we're not disappointed and 100% would recommend her to anyone who needs an officiant. If you're reading this from another part of the world, I would also recommend flying her out; you're day will be so special if you do and you won't regret it one bit! Thank you so much Tiara, and Royal Treatment for witnessing us Tie Our Knot! May everyone who needs you, find you, and get to lavish in your wonderful experience!

Hitched! By Harper is where unforgettable ceremonies meet authentic storytelling. I’m a firefighter-turned-award-winning officiant who crafts one-of-a-kind wedding experiences rooted in joy, meaning, and a touch of humor. Since 2010, I’ve helped couples of all backgrounds feel seen, celebrated, and totally at ease on their big day. Every ceremony is written from scratch to reflect your vibe, your values, and your story—not a template in sight.

My fiancé and I had Kevin officiate our wedding in August of 2025, and it was one of the best wedding decisions we made in the whole process! We were struggling on who we wanted to officiate our non-denominational ceremony, and with one month until our wedding day we found multiple recommendations for Hitched by Harper. The process was so easy, and for not knowing him personally, we had no less than 10 people on our wedding day asking something to the affect of “the officiant was amazing and personable, how did you know each other” and we actually had a friend book him for a wedding shortly after! Kevin was beyond impressive and we would recommend him and his services to anyone! If I could give this more than 5 stars I would.

I very recently got married, and the planning leading up to the wedding went so smoothly and so quickly! Venue, florals, photography- things got checked off our list with relative ease. Then we got a bit stuck- we needed an officiant! It can seem like a simple pick, but if you don’t want to have a friend or family get ordained, and you’re not a member of a traditional religion, it can be a harder match to make. But then, we found Tara at Witchy Woman Weddings and reached out immediately. We’re so glad we did!! Inquiry was simple and responses were fast. We only spoke through email leading up to the day itself, but Tara does have the option to book meetings if you’d prefer some face-to-face contact in the lead up to your big day. She has such a peaceful and warm presence that, even if you’re meeting her for the first time at the altar for the ceremony as I did, you feel that calm and kind energy emanating towards you. The process for creating your ceremony script is both easy and personalized- Tara has an in-depth questionnaire to fill out that covers a wide range of topics so she can tailor the ceremony to your unique story and the vibe you’re aiming to create. It really covers all the bases but doesn’t feel daunting to complete. After that, she delivers a sample script and makes sure to note that edits can be made if there is anything you want changed- we didn’t make a single change to ours! We got emotional just reading through our draft and were amazed at how she captured us in the writing. To sum all this up, I am beyond grateful to have found Tara. She was the perfect person to join us together, mixing elements of both the traditional and the not-so-traditional on our Friday the 13th wedding. I would recommend her to anyone who wants a truly special, unique, and heartfelt ceremony. At the risk of sounding a little cheesy, she truly helped make our day a magical one!

Stop scrolling! You found us! My name is Chelsea. I am a New England based wedding officiant who writes and performs custom ceremonies for weddings and elopements. I believe every couple deserves to feel guided by a seasoned professional on their wedding day. I also believe your officiant should feel like a natural part of the day. Warm, familiar, and completely at home within the celebration of your story. My goal is to fit seamlessly into each wedding, sharing your love story with clarity, romance, and just the right amount of humor for the people who matter most. I have another talented officiant on my team, Ren, doubling our availability!

We could not have asked for a better officiant for our wedding. From the very beginning, Chelsea took the time to meet us in person and truly get to know our story. After that, she crafted a beautiful ceremony personalized to us, and was patient and receptive to our (very minimal) feedback, making the whole process easy and stress-free. Her professionalism was clear through every step of the process- in her communications, her outfits/appearance, and in how she facilitated our rehearsal, ensuring everyone felt comfortable and prepared. On the wedding day, she delivered our ceremony with confidence, care, and conviction—it was heartfelt, sincere, funny, and everything we ever hoped it would be. We’ve received countless compliments from our guests saying it was the best ceremony they’ve ever attended, which is a true testament to Chelsea’s talent. If you’re looking for an officiant who will go above and beyond to make your day unforgettable, we can’t recommend Chelsea enough!

Your ceremony is more than a ho-hum prelude to a rocking party---it should be joyous (or hilarious!) telling of your story, a love story that gives your guests a reason to celebrate! It should be a well-thought out reflection of your values, what love and marriage mean to you. I am thoughtful, warm, intentional, and genuine in my approach---I see my role as a friendly guide to help you figure out what your options are, shower you with resources, and help you navigate the sometimes tricky waters surrounding weddings. I'll walk you through the creation process, tell your story, and perform you ceremony with warmth and joy!

Katrina is an absolute wizard of words, the most compassionate soul, and someone who makes your special moments in life a million times more special with her magic touch! Katrina left such a lasting impact on us after creating a dream wedding ceremony that we have connected with her throughout the past ten years for other ceremonies as well, like a ‘welcome to the world’ ceremony for our firstborn, an intimate vow renewal, and I know we will continue to have her in our lives for many more celebrations! Katrina has the ability to take all of our messy thoughts and feelings and put them into the most beautiful, meaningful words that resonate with not only us but anyone who hears the words for years to come! I always leave our meetings thinking “It’s like she is in our heads! She just gets it!” She takes the time to really get to know you and adds such special intimate touches to the ceremonies that make you feel even closer in your relationship. She truly is the most amazing person with the kindest energy, the most beautiful outlook on love and relationships, and an instant friend!

EC Matrimony

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.

From the moment my husband and I met Ernie from EC Matrimony, we were impressed by his honest, confident and professional communication style. On the day of our wedding, Ernie's heartfelt, on point and trustworthy approach made the ceremony feel tailored just for us. Despite my lack of preparation, Ernie seamlessly guided us through the wedding, ensuring it was special, humble and full of love. The wedding wouldn't have come together without Ernie's thoughtful contributions, and we are already planning to have him officiate when we renew our vows in the future.

I am Holland, a wedding officiant based in West Virginia who serves couples all along the East Coast. I create custom ceremonies that feel true to who you are. Whether you are eloping in the woods or planning an wedding surrounded by all of your loved ones, I bring a calm and caring presence to your day.

Summit Weddings & Elopements were an exceptional choice for our wedding officiant. From the very beginning, their communication style was honest, realistic, and showed true integrity. The value and quality of their work was amazing - they went the extra mile to ensure our special day was perfect. For example, they helped us find a hairdresser for our remote location and handled the inclement weather at our outdoor venue with great grace and professionalism. The officiant, Holland Hook, is a truly inspired individual who made the wedding prep and planning process seamless. Our photos were of exceptional quality, and everything Summit Weddings & Elopements touched made our day absolutely perfect and memorable. We couldn't have asked for a better team to officiate our wedding.

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.
