Mesquite, TX

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. ♥

We cannot say enough wonderful things about Stephanie and Yvonne! Our original officiant had to step back very last minute, and we were so nervous about finding someone who would understand the vision we had for our ceremony. We connected with Yvonne who was already booked for our day, but she put us together with Stephanie, both of whom went above and beyond for us and our wedding day! Stephanie took the time to get to know us on a Zoom call, listened closely to what we wanted, found ways to understand us on a deeper level, and crafted a ceremony that felt deeply personal, heartfelt, and us. She delivered it beautifully, warm, genuine, and full of intention. She made our guests laugh, cry, and feel every moment right along with us, and they are still talking about her! Right before I walked down the aisle, when nerves started to set in, Stephanie noticed me feeling panicky and immediately stepped in after only meeting me for a quick moment. With such conviction in her voice, she reminded me why I had done all of this, helped me refocus on the meaning of the moment, and even did breathwork with me until I felt calm again. It was one of the most grounding, beautiful gestures of my day, and something I’ll never forget. Even after the wedding, because we couldn’t find our marriage certificate on the day of, she and her husband met up with us to sign it, and we left that meeting feeling like we had made real friends. I truly feel like that speaks volumes about her character. We’re so grateful to have crossed paths with Stephanie and Yvonne. What started as a last-minute change turned into one of the biggest blessings of our wedding. 10/10 recommend!

Tim Greathouse, Ohio Wedding Officiant 
Rating: 5.0 (52 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
“How long have you known Tim?” Since we got married, this has quickly become one of the most common questions from friends and family. The honest answer is just under a year. In that time we had a couple of phone calls, a handful of texts and emails, and most importantly his questionnaire. And somehow, that was all Tim needed to write the perfect ceremony for us. Our ceremony was so personal and so perfectly "us" that we couldn’t stop talking about it for weeks afterward. If most of your experience with weddings has been religious weddings, it can be difficult to envision what a non-religious wedding ceremony can look like. Tim's process and questionnaire are structured so that you can take the time to think through and decide what you do and don't want for your ceremony. There's zero pressure to do things "because it's tradition", and he's conscientious to ask how you want to be introduced. We took our time filling out the questionnaire and researching readings, and it ended up being one of our favorite parts of planning the wedding. Tim is LGBTQIA friendly, open to skipping any traditions you don’t want, and excited to help make something new and fresh if that’s your vision. He has such a warm, affable, calming presence on the day of the wedding that puts everyone at ease. We can’t recommend him enough, and we’ll keep telling anyone who asks: hire Tim as your officiant!

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.

He was extremely easy to work with and also helped us through the whole process. Throughout our process leading up to the wedding there were some unforeseen circumstances that caused some changes the day before.

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.

Jeff can be described in one word. Outstanding! We originally went with Jeff since he is a retired Navy Chaplain, as a Marine that was an instant pro fro me but he also; helped and made the process of planning the wedding from the opposite of the country easy with video calls, while still making time to meet us prior to the wedding to get face to face time as well as run a walk through of our wedding day. He was also able to do a good portion of the ceremony in Spanish to help my in-laws understand what was happening and make them included in the ceremony. He helped us plan out for amazing pictures of the ceremony down to what he would wear. He coached up the bridal party on their roll in the ceremony so everything went smooth. The only negative thing I can say about Jeff is; well I didn't get to spend more time with him! He is amazing and funny and I genuinely cannot recommend him enough. If you're looking to add the perfect Pastor/Officiant for your perfect day Jeff is an easy inclusion.

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.

Rebecca's Wedding Officiating Service was an absolute pleasure to work with. From the start, Rebecca was generous with her time and extremely informative, answering all of our questions and guiding us through the ceremony planning process. On the day of, she was very professional and ensured the ceremony went exactly as we wanted.

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.
