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 (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
“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!

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!

We had the pleasure of having Evan as our wedding officiant, and we couldn’t have asked for a more thoughtful, warm, and genuine person to lead our ceremony. From the very beginning, he put great effort into getting to know us as a couple and as a family, ensuring that the ceremony truly reflected who we are. He crafted an incredibly touching and meaningful ceremony that deeply resonated with both us and our guests. One of the most special moments was the family sand ritual he proposed — a beautiful way to include not just me and my husband, but also our two boys. It made the ceremony even more personal and memorable. We are so grateful for his kindness, creativity, and the care he put into every detail. If you are looking for a personalized, heartfelt, and unforgettable wedding ceremony, we wholeheartedly recommend Evan.

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.

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!

Beaverton, OR
  • Offers 10 ceremony types

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.

We had such a wonderful experience with Don Gloud as our wedding officiant! From the very beginning, Don was incredibly responsive and organized, which made the entire planning process smooth and stress-free. His professionalism and warmth truly stood out. His wife and assistant, Dodie, was equally amazing. She has an incredible eye for detail and made sure everything was perfectly arranged for our special day—even down to coordinating Don’s tie with our wedding colors, which was such a thoughtful touch! Don himself was so kind and genuine, and he performed a ceremony that was deeply meaningful and personal to us. One of my favorite things was his speaking voice—it was calm, engaging, and added such a special touch to the ceremony. We couldn’t have asked for a better officiant team. Highly recommend Don and Dodie to anyone looking to make their wedding day truly unforgettable!

Choosing Dawn to officiate our wedding was truly one of the best decisions we made throughout the entire planning process. She is incredibly kind, genuine, and so easy to work with. From the very beginning, she made everything feel simple and stress-free. One of the things we loved most was how she allowed us to personalize the entire ceremony—every word she spoke felt intentional and perfectly aligned with the tone we wanted for our day. What meant the most to us was that Dawn never felt like “just a vendor.” Standing up there with her felt like having a close friend by our side, speaking the most heartfelt and beautiful words on one of the most important moments of our lives. She radiates such warm, loving, and positive energy, and everyone in attendance felt it throughout the ceremony. Another thing that sets Dawn apart is that her support doesn’t end once the ceremony is over. She stayed available afterward for anything we needed, whether it was guidance on name-change steps, paperwork, or post-wedding questions. She truly goes above and beyond, even after the big day. We can’t recommend her enough to anyone looking for a wedding officiant. My husband and I already joke that the wedding day went by way too fast, and we’ve agreed that for every future vow renewal or celebration of our marriage, Dawn will always be the one we choose.

Matt is my brother and my husband and I chose him to officiate our wedding, not only because he is family, but because we wanted it to feel more personal rather than a generic wedding ceremony speech from the officiant.

His speech was the perfect mix of lighthearted jokes, love, personal stories from our relationship, and information and feelings from my husband and I.

From the very beginning, he walked us through everything, from customizing our ceremony to making sure we knew exactly what to expect on the big day.

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!

We had a wonderful experience with Pastor Jeff as our wedding officiant. From our first video call, he took the time to get to know us and made the whole process feel personable and comfortable. He guided us through planning the ceremony with clear communication over email, phone, and video calls, and even hosted a mini-rehearsal at his home and answered all of our questions with great detail. On the wedding day, he arrived looking great in the outfit we’d chosen and took time to coach everyone through their roles before the ceremony. The ceremony itself was beautifully led—thoughtful, heartfelt, and seamless. Afterwards, he even sent us photos he had taken, which was such a kind touch. Pastor Jeff was professional, organized, and truly a joy to work with—we highly recommend him!!!

Koru Ceremony Llc: Celebrating New Beginnings was a wonderful choice for our wedding officiant. Their communication style was very thorough, as they were in constant contact with us to ensure every detail of the ceremony was exactly as we preferred. The quality of their work and value was exceptional, as they demonstrated a detailed and sincere concern for making our special day perfect.

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.

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.

I’ve known Kym for many years, and when the love of my life asked me to marry him, I knew there was only one person for the job! I called Kym right away, and even though I had run away to South Carolina, Kym was happy to take us on. She sent us a questionnaire to get an idea of what kind of ceremony we wanted, and to capture our love story. Kym offers so many different options both religious and non, and she worked so hard to create the perfect ceremony for us. As anyone planning a wedding knows, there is so much that goes into planning, and Kym made everything to do with the ceremony so easy! I’m not religious or traditional in any way, and Kym found us not only the perfect ring vows, but created the perfect ceremony to fit our theme and who we are individually as well as a couple. Kym even helps you if you want to write your own vows! Everyone is still talking about how gorgeous our ceremony was! Thank you Kym for everything, we love and appreciate all of your hard work so much. You helped us create memories that we will never forget! I wish I could give 50 stars for all of your hard work! You absolutely can’t go wrong with picking Fanciful Hearts for your wedding!

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!

Awarded Best of Zola
Emerald was absolutely amazing for our wedding. Not only did she make our vision of a perfect ceremony come true, she added to it, making our special day a dream! The customization of our ceremony and the attention to detail was truly special. Including our guests in the ceremony and the annunciation of every word, with not one mishap, was truly appreciated. Most of all her communication was excellent and she treated us like family--caring for our personal mental space (outside of the ceremony). Her professionalism is top tier. Emerald worked at the highest level, and if I didnt plan to be married only this one time, I'd I'd use her again!

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.
