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 is such a lovely human! She hooked us up with Stephanie for our wedding and wow. Two thumbs up. she intertwined Spanish and English for us. Some religious points without hitting it too hard, as we requested. Such thoughtful words after only meeting with us virtually once, it felt like she truly experienced our story with us. And she brought both the tears and the laughs! Absolutely love this team!

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
We had the absolute pleasure of having Timothy officiate our wedding on May 17th, and we truly couldn’t have asked for anyone better. From the very beginning, he was kind, professional, and incredibly helpful. He guided us through every step, helped calm our nerves on the big day, and brought such a warm and personal touch to our ceremony. Timothy made our guests laugh, brought a few happy tears, and somehow made it feel like he had known us forever. So many of our friends and family told us how amazing he was! If you’re looking for someone who will make your ceremony meaningful, personal, and full of heart—Timothy is the one. We are forever grateful!

Jaclyn was the best and a true lifesaver! She’s apart of an officiant group and our original officiant got stuck at an earlier wedding and Jaclyn miraculously made it to our location, from another wedding, minutes before our ceremony was supposed to start! She read the script that the original officiant had written but you would’ve have never known that this was her first time reading it! She captured our vibe, heartfelt but laid back, perfectly. She was professional with the perfect touch of humor. Our guests loved her energy. Cannot recommend her more. Thank you Jaclyn for being apart of our special day!

Having Evan as our wedding Officiant was an incredible experience! From our first meeting to the big day, he was nothing short of amazing. Evan brought a perfect mix of warmth, professionalism, and humor that made our ceremony so personal and memorable. He took the time to get to know us as a couple, learning about our story and the things that truly matter to us. The ceremony he crafted felt so genuine, and we loved how he included little touches that reflected our personalities and relationship. Evan calm and confident presence made us feel at ease throughout the ceremony, and his words were delivered with such sincerity and emotion. Not only did he officiate our ceremony with grace and style, but he also helped guide us through all the steps, ensuring everything went smoothly.

Illuminating Ceremonies

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.

Chris was an absolute pleasure to work with for our wedding. Not only did he make the entire process smooth, it stimulated discussions about old memories between my husband and I that brought us back 10 years! Luckily, 2 of our best friends had used Chris as their officiant before our wedding 3 years prior and when we got engaged, he was the first vendor to come to our minds! He made us and our guests laugh throughout the ceremony with some quick witted humor, reminded us of what it means to move through this new chapter as a married couple, but also brought such ease on a chaotic day! Our guests were raving about him which just re-iterated that it was our best decision as we planned the wedding. Chris even did a special shoutout to my family out of state who couldn’t make the wedding which made it even more special for us. Hands down, Illuminating Ceremonies with Christopher Shelley will not disappoint.

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. 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.

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.

We actually knew we were in great hands because not only was she recommended by our venue, Highgrove Estate, but she also officiated my sister’s wedding at The Bradford back in December 2018 — such an unexpected and special connection!

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).

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!

Working with Emerald Elegance Ceremonies was a game-changer for our wedding day. From our first conversation, they were prompt and thorough in answering all our questions, which made the planning process so much easier. They went above and beyond by helping us coordinate with our other vendors, making sure everyone was on the same page. When our knot ceremony accessory didn't arrive as planned, they stayed calm and came up with a quick solution that kept everything running smoothly. Their attention to detail and ability to think on their feet made our ceremony feel polished and personal. We couldn't have asked for a better officiant to help us start our marriage off right.

We can’t say enough good things about Pat! She was absolutely amazing to work with. From the very beginning, she guided us through every step — from getting our marriage license, to meeting with us to get to know our story, to helping us craft a ceremony that felt so personal and true to us. She made the whole process easy and enjoyable, answering all our questions and giving us the freedom to really make the ceremony our own. She even reviewed our vows and was there if we needed any help or feedback. Our guests couldn’t stop talking about how beautiful and heartfelt our ceremony was, several people told us it was the most personal and meaningful ceremony they’d ever attended, and we owe that to Pat. She did an incredible job and we couldn’t recommend her more highly!

Kasey King, Wedding Officiant

Hi, I’m Kasey King! I believe your wedding ceremony shouldn’t just be the "official" part of the day—it should be the absolute highlight. For over a decade, I’ve stood alongside couples in the beautiful Charleston area, crafting deeply personal, engaging, and memorable ceremonies that perfectly reflect who you are. Whether you’re planning an intimate coastal elopement, a classic Lowcountry celebration, or a modern ceremony, my goal is to make the experience feel effortless, intentional, and uniquely yours. I’ll get to know your story and vibe so you can feel entirely at ease. Let’s make it a moment you and your guests will never forget!

If we could give Kasey more than five stars, we would. From the very first conversation, he made us feel completely at ease. On our wedding day, he brought the perfect balance of professionalism, warmth, humor, and sincerity. His energy was calm and genuine, and he has a personality that instantly makes you feel like you’ve known him for years. He made the entire marriage license process effortless. He clearly explained exactly what we needed, prepared all of the paperwork, brought everything to the ceremony (even a copy for my name change), and handled the filing afterward so all we had to do was sign. Throughout the planning process, he was always happy to answer questions and offer thoughtful advice and recommendations whenever we needed them. Most importantly the ceremony felt personal, heartfelt, and authentic, not scripted or rushed. He helped create one of the most meaningful moments of our lives, and so many of our family and friends commented afterward on how wonderful he was. If you’re looking for an officiant who truly cares about your story and creates a ceremony that feels natural, joyful, and unforgettable, Kasey is the person you want standing with you on your wedding day!! Thank you, Kasey, for making our Charleston wedding everything we hoped it would be. We couldn’t have imagined anyone better!!

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.
