No one wants to see a wedding ceremony they’ve seen a dozen times! We blend words, experiences, and emotions into a beautifully crafted ceremony expressing you perfectly. It will be funny. It will be moving. Close to perfect; far from boring! It will be a little unexpected and perhaps a little traditional, but it will be totally you.

From our first conversation with Celia Milton, we knew we had found the right officiant for our wedding. She explained the marriage license process in a way that made everything crystal clear, and her lighthearted approach put us at ease from the start. During the ceremony, Celia tailored her speech to perfectly capture who we are as a couple, and she handled all the paperwork and license signing seamlessly so we could focus on taking pictures and greeting our guests. Her attention to detail was evident in every interaction, and it was clear she genuinely cared about making our day special. We couldn't have asked for a better officiant to marry us. We received a TON of compliments from our guests, because they loved Celia’s speech.

When my husband and I spontaneously decided to get married this Halloween, we could not have predicted how beautiful it would be- and we have Cathy to thank. With her exceptional creativity, she was able to write a customized, Halloween themed ceremony that made both of us cry. Cathy is highly skilled, competent, friendly, communicative, and above all else, she will go above and beyond to make sure your ceremony is PERFECT. You can not go wrong if you chose her for your special day, for anything from completely traditional, or, if you’re like us, completely non-traditional and unique. Thank you, Cathy, for making our special day one we will remember fondly for the rest of our lives!

Lydia performed my son's wedding. Words cannot express how absolutely beautiful the ceremony was. I know from my son how diligently Reverend Lydia worked with my son and daughter-in-law to achieve the perfect ceremony. Her attention to details and willingness to go above and beyond insured that the ceremony was everything we hoped for and more. It was so very personalized, heartfelt and meaningful. Her ability to capture the essence of my son and daughter-in-law's love story and incorporate it into the ceremony was truly remarkable. Our guests were touched by her words and all commented on how special the ceremony was.

Rainbow Ministries specializes in inclusive and LGBTQ+ weddings. Our mission is to provide a safe space for all walks of life. We focus on a couple-centered approach with custom scripts, while respecting all belief systems. We will create a beautiful ceremony together that truly reflects you as a couple.

Finding the right officiant for our wedding was a journey, especially as an LGBT couple. We wanted someone who truly understood us, not just a random person to perform the ceremony. When we met Carrie, we immediately knew she was the perfect fit! Carrie brought so much joy and thoughtfulness to our special day. Her speech was beautifully crafted, reflecting the essence of our relationship. During our pre-meeting, she really took the time to understand us as individuals and as a couple, ensuring that the ceremony felt personal and meaningful. I also want to mention that my wife and I aren't the best at keeping up with things, but Carrie kept us on track (without making us feel bad lol) and ensured we completed everything necessary for her to do her part. She even came for a rehearsal, making sure we all knew where to be and what to expect. Carrie brought her own personality to the event without overshadowing our special moments. It’s rare for guests to comment on an officiant, but we received so many compliments about Carrie! She truly made our wedding unforgettable. We can’t recommend her enough!

No one wants to sit through a ceremony they've seen a dozen times. That's where we come in. We create ceremonies that are funny, moving, a little unexpected, and completely, unapologetically you — not a template, not a script someone else already used, not boring. We're storytellers. We take everything you share with us — how you met, what makes you laugh, what makes you cry, what drives each other a little crazy — and turn it into something your guests will actually talk about. People have mistaken us for family. That's the goal. Collaborative.

Awarded Best of Zola
When I started wedding planning, searching for an officiant was one of the top most daunting tasks purely because I didn't have any idea where to start. Our parents had gotten married in a church or temple and a lot of other non-denominational weddings we had been to had a friend or family member officiate - not something we were super keen on doing ourselves since we met in a speech and debate club in high school and wanted someone similarly comfortable with public speaking from go. I found Celia Milton via The Knot and I'm so glad I did. She was immediately very responsive to our inquiry and when we had our initial call with her over the phone we knew she would bring the right tone and energy to our ceremony. Celia has years of experience under her belt and it really shows in the ceremony she helped pull together. We had so many guests come up to us after the ceremony to rave about how it was one of the best ceremonies they had been to because it was able to strike so many different tones - funny and lighthearted, emotional and contemplative - in just thirty minutes. On top of that, Celia helped make the script personal to us and our journey together as a couple, which included a traditional handfasting and having our grandparents do guest readings. All in all, the ceremony she gave flowed so well and struck all the beats we wanted it to, which I think made it especially special for both us and our guests. I also want to mention it was so helpful having Celia in our corner given her many years of experience. She just knows weddings and knows a lot of wedding people! She pointed us in the direction of our cinematographer for example and otherwise gave a ton of great advice on other aspects of wedding planning personally over email and via her New Jersey Weddings Podcast which I listened to. That sort of experience really put me at ease that I had somebody to lean back on during wedding planning who has seen it all. Tl;dr - Our wedding ceremony was perfect and it was perfect especially because Celia Milton was our officiant. I cannot recommend her enough for the amount of amazing energy she brought to the planning process and the fact that the final product was just amazing down to the little touches. Thank you Celia!

One of the greatest experiences I’ve been a part of as a photographer. It was a sunrise wedding in Central Park. We both wheeled our belongings into the Bethesda Fountain location at 5:30am. She was prompt, PUNCTUAL, FULL OF LIFE (at 5:30am) and Professional. She spoke with great love and bystanders that were running all stopped to get a glimpse of the energy that permeated the park. The couple and family were pleased and I left impressed. A wonderful officiant that I would gladly recommend to everyone and one I’d use myself if I was planning a wedding.

I am Rabbi Nikki DeBlosi (she/her) (BA, MA, PhD). It is my passion and privilege to connect folks to the breadth and depth of Jewish tradition through inclusive, innovative, and insightful Jewish ritual. A tattooed, polyamorous, queer, suburban, stay-at-home parent, I was raised Catholic and converted to Judaism as an adult. I approach my work nonjudgmentally, and I know too many of us carry religious trauma. I want to make sure your wedding feels meaningful, relevant, and affirming. I'm an avid reader (especially romance), a fan of Buffy the Vampire Slayer, & a choral singer.

We had the privilege of working with Rabbi Nikki for our interfaith wedding ceremony, and we cannot recommend her highly enough. Nikki was organized and thoughtful about helping us structure a ceremony that felt true to both of our backgrounds while remaining accessible to all our guests. What really stood out was how she brought calm to the chaos leading up to the big day—she had prepared for every possible scenario so we felt completely covered no matter what happened. Nikki has a commanding presence and a beautiful voice that kept everyone engaged throughout the ceremony, and she made Judaism come alive for our non-Jewish family members in such a meaningful way that several of them said they only want to attend Jewish weddings from now on. Her collaborative approach meant we were true partners in creating something deeply personalized and insightful that reflected who we are as a couple. We're grateful for her guidance and creativity in making our day unforgettable!

I love working on weddings—a unique moment in couples' lives that I get to be a part of and help immortalize alongside them. Language often becomes a barrier, which is why I offer my services in Portuguese, English, and Spanish.

Nivea was the perfect choice for our wedding officiant. She communicated with us clearly throughout the planning process and created a ceremony that felt truly personal and meaningful to us. On our wedding day, we had a stressful moment when my husband realized he forgot the rings at home, but Nivea didn't hesitate to wait for us to get them. While we were waiting, she sat with me and talked me through my nerves, which helped me calm down so much. Her professionalism and genuine care made all the difference in making our day special. We are so grateful we chose Nivea to officiate our marriage.

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.

Researching our honeymoon destination, we stumbled across photos on the web taken by Jackie’s husband, Sascha, which led us to Jackie. So inspired were we by TeamReinking, we decided to put our complete trust in them and elope from Australia to NYC. We had literally just booked our wedding in Australia. Jackie was so easy to work with and we connected with her via emails and then the moment we met in person (literally just before our ceremony). Jackie helped us create the most beautiful ceremony in April 2023 at the Ladies Pavilion in Central Park, NYC. A special moment in time filled with shared promises, love, laughter and quite a few tears. It was an emotional day for us that had been 12 years in the making. Jackie is simply a delight and it was easy for us to just be ourselves in that moment. My husband is still talking about our beautiful ceremony with Jackie by our side. I think he’s your number 1 fan, Jackie!!! Our photos (taken by Sascha) are beyond stunning and the memories of our day and ceremony we will cherish forever. We would do it all over again in a heartbeat! Tick this one off your list, celebrant and photographer sorted!! I’d give a 6 star rating if I could!! Ps I think my husband is already planning for us to renew our vows in the future with TeamReinking!!

Sandy made our wedding ceremony absolutely perfect! From beginning to end she helped us so much. Sandy was always super easy to get a hold of. It never took her more than a day to respond back to any emails we sent her (which to anyone planning a wedding knows is key to have vendors respond as quickly as possible). She made the ceremony so unique by reaching out to some of our friends and family to ask them question about my husband and I and incorporated their answers into the ceremony, which made us and our friends and family feel even more apart of the ceremony then they already were. And everyone knows that one of the post stressful parts of all of this is writing your vows. Which Sandy knows (of course) and she goes above and beyond to help with that she gave us a detailed list of things to incorporate (if you decide to write your own) along with a list of already made vows that you can choose from or use to help create your own version of. Which helped so much to alleviate some of the stress of it all. If I were to do it all again I would choose Sandy every time she was so helpful through the planning of it all and when it came to the actual execution of it, it was perfect and true to her business name, felt like it came right out of a storybook written just for us.

To “resonate” means to “ produce or be filled with a deep, full, reverberating sound” and my goal is to co-create a ceremony that leaves both the guests and the couple with a sense of connection, hope, and lasting memory. Our ancestors were deeply rooted in ritual practices, and while those exact rituals may not fit quite the same as they once did, they brought people together as a strengthened unit - a sense of belonging all beings deserve to experience.

Working with Kait, The Resonant Officiant, was one of the very best decisions we made for our wedding. From the very beginning she brought such warmth, openness, and fun energy to the process. We immediately felt comfortable with her, and that sense of ease carried through the entire weekend. She has a way of creating a safe, welcoming space where everyone feels included, and she does it with genuine kindness and a wonderful sense of humor. Kait guided us through the rehearsal dinner with so much confidence and calm, helping us and our families feel grounded and excited for what was to come. On the wedding day she delivered a ceremony that was beyond anything we could have imagined. Her words were personal and beautifully written, like poetry, and she told our story in a way that felt meaningful and authentic to us while also drawing in our guests. There was laughter, there were tears, and there was an overwhelming feeling of love in the room. She did not stop there. Kait also stepped in as the emcee for our reception, making transitions seamless and keeping the celebration flowing with warmth and joy. By the end of the weekend she did not just feel like our officiant, she truly felt like part of our family. Our guests could not stop raving about her, and so many people commented on how special and memorable the ceremony felt. We are endlessly grateful to Kait for the love and care she poured into our wedding. She made the entire experience unforgettable, and we know we will carry her words and presence with us forever. If you are considering The Resonant Officiant, we cannot recommend her enough!!
