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!

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!

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 couldn’t have asked for a more perfect officiant for our wedding. Yvonne brought so much warmth, intention, and genuine care to our ceremony. What meant the world to us was how beautifully she included our fur babies—she made them feel like an important part of our big day. She also memorialized our sweet Chance in the most touching, respectful way. It brought tears to our eyes and made us feel like he was right there with us. The way she honored him showed how deeply she understands the love people have for their pets and the impact they have on our lives. Our ceremony was meaningful, personal, and unforgettable because of her. If you want an officiant who truly listens, cares, and creates a ceremony that reflects your heart, she is the one. Highly, highly recommended!

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!

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!

Royal Treatment With Tiara NJ Wedding Officiant

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.

The Officiant Jawn was AMAZING. Our ceremony wouldn’t have been the same without her. We couldn’t have asked for anyone better. She was so organized and attentive making sure we knew everything that would go on throughout the day which was such a relief. From the communication early on all the way until the day of, to checking on my wife for me when I thought she was freaking out beforehand, to reassuring me that she was fine and more. She helped calm my own nerves and honestly I felt like I just had another supportive family member by my side. Our ceremony was soooo amazing and she made us and our guests laugh. She’s hilarious! Everyone at our wedding was also complimenting our officiant and said how awesome she was and how they wanted to be friends with her! They were so impressed with her energy, as were we. I’m soooo glad she joined us for our big day! Like I said I cannot IMAGINE having anyone else there! We asked for an officiant for a day, but got a friend for life.

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.

Awarded Best of Zola
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.

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!

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.

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!

I grew up in a small town outside of Athens, GA and graduated from the University of Georgia (GO DAWGS) in 1995 with a Bachelor of Music degree concentrating in piano and voice.

Lem was truly the perfect officiant for us. He is so kind, attentive to detail and well spoken. Lem took the time to get to know us and understand the importance of our faith in Christ. He helped us to select the perfect passage to read at our ceremony. Thank you Lem for a beautiful and eloquently spoken ceremony!

Hi! I’m Alisha—founder of Lawler Love Story and your real-life Bridal Bestie. I’m an ordained officiant who believes your ceremony should feel just as special as the rest of your day. Whether you’re planning an intimate elopement or a full celebration, I create personalized ceremonies that reflect your love, your story, and your vibe. I bring calm energy, organization, and a genuine connection to every couple I work with. I also offer ceremony support like timeline guidance and rehearsal help to make sure everything flows smoothly. My goal is simple—to make sure you feel present, supported, and fully in the moment when you say “I do.”

Alisha encouraged excitement throughout all our interactions. She was well worth the investment. She even officiated our wedding on the beach- a very unpredictable place- and she was super prepared. Though the package we purchased only included officiation and personalized vows, Alisha was always available, even late nights, to answer random questions.

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.

We couldn't have asked for a better officiant than Norm. From our first conversation, his communication was straightforward and he really listened to what we wanted for our ceremony. Norm took the time to learn our story and wove it throughout the entire service, making everything feel deeply personal and meaningful to us. He was incredibly supportive throughout the planning process and went out of his way to ensure I had everything I needed leading up to the big day. His knowledge and care made the ceremony feel less like a formality and more like a true reflection of our love. We can't recommend Norm highly enough.

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.
