Jeff was absolutely incredible as our wedding officiant! From the very beginning, he made us feel comfortable and truly took the time to get to know us. He created such a beautiful and meaningful ceremony that reflected who we are as a couple. He had the perfect balance of heartfelt moments, Scripture, humor, and personal stories. He kept everyone engaged from start to finish, and you could tell how much thought and care he put into every word. His jokes were perfectly timed, his message was inspiring, and he brought such a warm, welcoming energy that made everyone feel included. We received so many compliments from our family and friends after the ceremony. Everyone kept telling us how much they loved Jeff, how engaging he was, and how it felt like he truly united everyone in the room. He made the ceremony memorable not only for us, but for every guest who was there. We truly couldn’t have asked for a better officiant.

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. ♥

Yvonne was absolutely incredible to work with and we can't thank her enough for all she did to make our wedding special! It started with an intro call where she really took the time to get to know us, our story, and we were able to share and connect in the fact that we are a blended family. She then translated that call into the most beautiful account of our love story during our ceremony that we will never forget. She was calm, cool, and collected throughout the entire process, which really took any stress associated with the day away completely. She is awesome, it is clear that she loves what she does, and we highly recommend her through and through! Thank you, Yvonne!

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!

Tim was excellent! Our ceremony would not have been so perfect without him. The ceremony was the perfect length and he made all of our wedding day jitters wash away. Our guests loved how he told our story it had just the right amount of personal touch. He was so attentive and constantly checked in on us leading us to the big day so we had nothing to worry about.

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.

Working with Chris at Illuminating Ceremonies was truly a heartfelt experience. From the moment we first spoke, I could tell Chris was passionate about creating a ceremony that was a perfect representation of who we are as a couple. Chris took the time to get to know us and our personalities, and tailored the ceremony in such a thoughtful way that it felt so personal and special (our guests thought we had known him for years!). Their attention to detail and commitment to making our wedding day perfect was truly priceless. We felt so blessed to have them officiate our ceremony, which was filled with love, laughter, and a wonderful celebration surrounded by our fun-loving family and friends.

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.

I offer more than officiating- I guide couples through the heart of the wedding experience and help weave meaning, calmness, and connection into their day. I create ceremonies that feel personal, grounded, and true to you: anchoring the energy of your love, honoring your story, and setting a tone that is warm and heartfelt, whether traditional or deeply spiritual. While anyone can get ordained online and sign the license - not everyone has experience or training to hold ceremony that feels intentional, sacred, and deeply yours, or help you feel supported throughout the experience. *** My calendar here may not be current

Nicolle is truly a blessing! When my husband and I were looking for an officiant we wanted someone who would personalize our ceremony in a way that felt genuine and true to who we are as humans. Nicolle did just that!! She met with us several times before the ceremony to get to know us and our vision for the ceremony and was so great with communication through the entire process.

Norma was fabulous as our wedding officiant for our bi-lingual wedding. I found her online and was very hesitant to just hire someone from the internet without speaking to them, so she graciously had a little intro chat with us. She was prompt, showed up MORE than prepared - came with mints, a speaker so we could add "walking" music, and probably other small helpful things that I'm forgetting at this moment. She was happy, bubbly, cracked a joke or two. I'd happily hire her again,but fingers crossed I never have to!

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.

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.

Michael did a perfect job officiating our wedding. The entire process was so easy. From our initial calls, to working on the script he put together, to helping my now wife with her vows on the wedding day - Michael was so helpful and easy to work with every step of the way. We had an idea of what we wanted in a ceremony, and Michael took our loose ideas and absolutely nailed it. The ceremony he put together for us was absolutely perfect. It felt like he had known us our entire lives. We had several guests ask where we found such a great officiant and comment on what a great job he did. We weren't putting a huge emphasis on our ceremony, as we had always wanted a ceremony on the shorter side, but it ended up being one of the highlights of the day.

Awarded Best of Zola
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!

Chelsea absolutely CRUSHED IT!! So many people came up to us and told us how professional and poised she was and how they loved the ceremony. Chelsea is an excellent officiant and an even better person. I was in a panic 2.5 weeks before the wedding when two different plans for officiants fell through. The Marrying Jane was on the recommended vendors list at The Red Barn at Outlook Farm; and when I reached out to ask if they could help, Chelsea responded that night and turned everything around. Chelsea wrote a custom ceremony, helped us with all the paperwork, and truly saved the day! I am endlessly grateful and can only hope that other couples find her at the beginning of their wedding planning journeys!

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.
