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!

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
Tim was amazing to work with from start to finish! From our initial phone call with Tim, we knew right away that we wanted him to be a part of our big day. He is a true professional and really took the time to learn details about us as a couple in order to curate the perfect ceremony. We couldn’t have been happier with how it turned out! We also had sort of a unique request and needed a non-family member/friend to deliver one of our rehearsal dinner speeches. Tim, without question, gave up an extra hour of his Friday evening to deliver the speech for us and we couldn’t have been more grateful! I would absolutely recommend Tim to any couples looking for a professional, reliable, and personable wedding officiant!

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.

Chris is truly incredible at what he does. From the planning process all the way to the ceremony, he continued to make everything run smoothly. Not a single detail was missed.

He is an excellent speaker and made our ceremony the absolute best experience for us and our guests.

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
Danny was an incredible officiant! From the first interaction his supportiveness of love and marriage is apparent and his professionalism and passion for his work is second to none. His calls to learn his couples and the way he incorporates that information into his speech was very touching and makes the entire ceremony feel so much more personal. He worked with our thoughts of what we wanted to have read within the ceremony and what type of unity ritual we wanted - which we actually ended up opting for his signature “tequila” unity. Our family and friends continue to make comments about how beautiful and impactful his words were and we’ve probably listened to our ceremony video 3 or 4 times in the last two weeks still absorbing his message of commitment and beauty of marriage. We are so thrilled to have had Danny as our officiant and would recommend him 100x over for the couple looking for a beautiful, customized, clear and memorable wedding ceremony! Thanks a million for being the perfect addition to our milestone!

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.

From the moment my husband and I met Ernie from EC Matrimony, we were impressed by his honest, confident and professional communication style. On the day of our wedding, Ernie's heartfelt, on point and trustworthy approach made the ceremony feel tailored just for us. Despite my lack of preparation, Ernie seamlessly guided us through the wedding, ensuring it was special, humble and full of love. The wedding wouldn't have come together without Ernie's thoughtful contributions, and we are already planning to have him officiate when we renew our vows in the future.

Awarded Best of Zola
Julia was amazing in the process of planning our ceremony from start to finish, in fact had I not come across Julia our wedding may have had a completely different outcome. When I first inquired with Julia my husband and I were aiming on planning a small ceremony at Santa Barbara court house. Julia took the time and effort to schedule a zoom meeting with us right away and thanks to Julia’s experience we quickly learned the court house was not going to be the ceremony for us. Julia went above and beyond to help us navigate towards a ceremony that would be much better suited for us and our guests to a point that I mentioned she felt like she was stepping into a wedding planner’s role along with being an excellent officiant. Leading up closer to the ceremony she took the time to perfect a draft and mock up of what our ceremony would be like and that began to really easy our nerves. We knew we were in good hands seeing how organized and professional Julia had been during the entire process and the day of the ceremony surpassed our expectations. She took the time to meet with my husband and his parents as they waited my arrival, took leadership in orchestrating the start of the wedding procession and took a moment to meet me in front of the church before the start of our ceremony to calm my nerves and remind me what the importance of our wedding and ceremony was. Days after our ceremony my husband and I got several compliments on how personal and touching our ceremony was and that was a great deal to do with Julia! All in all we would highly recommend Julia and can’t thank her enough for the huge role she played in our wedding.

Alex officiated our wedding and completely exceeded every expectation we had. He crafted a bilingual ceremony in English and Spanish that wasn't just translated—it was genuinely written in both languages, using each for what it expresses best. It was beautiful for our English-speaking guests and meaningful in an entirely different way for our Spanish-speaking family and friends. His entire approach was romantic, personal, and our guests were blown away. He kept the focus entirely on love and on us as a couple, creating a ceremony that was inclusive and joyful without ever losing sight of what the day was really about. As two grooms, it meant everything to have someone who honored our relationship with such care and intention. I've been to a lot of weddings. I have never heard so many guests spontaneously rave about an officiant the way they did about Alex. Weeks later, people are still bringing it up. He is the real deal.

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. We’re so grateful for her and everything she did to make our day unforgettable.

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. We'll treasure those moments for the rest of our lives, and Michael is to thank for that. We're absolutely thrilled with Michael & our ceremony and we would recommend him to anyone without a doubt!!

We didn't give much time to ourselves and our minister to plan a great wedding but once the day came, everything was just perfect. Upon first meeting our minister, she was quick to help get us started and teach us how the ceremony would go. She gave us examples of other wedding ceremonies and told us in her own experiences how people react during their own ceremonies. It honestly helped us to plan the perfect wedding. We never had a rehearsal and there was some last-minute logistics to plan on the wedding day but by the end of it, everything ran smoothly.

David was absolutely amazing — both professional and so personal at the same time! 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. He took the time to really get to know us, and it showed in every single part of our ceremony. What we loved most is that David somehow feels like both a pro and a friend. He’s organized and experienced, but also warm, kind, and genuinely cares. You never feel like just another client with him — you feel supported, understood, and completely taken care of. He was such a great communicator throughout the whole process — super responsive, always available if we had a question, and just so easy to work with. During the ceremony, he absolutely shined. He spoke clearly and with purpose, enunciating every word so that every guest could hear and feel the meaning behind what he was saying. His timing, tone, and presence were perfect — confident, engaging, and full of heart. We can’t say enough good things about David. Having him as our officiant made our wedding day even more special. We’ll be recommending him to everyone we know — near and far — just so we can see him in action again!

I'm Rev. Dr. Jeff Saville, (call me Jeff) a retired Navy chaplain with 26 yrs military service and real church pastor (not just ordained online). 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!

Dr. Jeff was such an amazing person to work with. I am all about paying for quality, and I feel like I got what I paid for and more. We initially decided to choose him because of how organized he was, this is something I care deeply about so it was nice to see how dedicated he was to staying organized for his customers. We began with an initial video call to do introductions, and he made the interaction feel like I was talking to a friend. We picked a package where my now husband and I had a mini rehearsal at Dr. Jeff's home in Temecula. This felt so personal and was ultimately super helpful to ensure we knew what to do on the day. We also hired him to do the formal rehearsal at our rehearsal dinner the night before the wedding. Without this, I honestly am not sure how I would have been able to wrangle my wedding party. Dr. Jeff is so knowledgeable and truly thought of everything! He even let us choose the outfit he was going to wear, this is something I didn't even consider, but it was really so cool to be able to choose. The ceremony went so well and everyone thought he did an amazing job. He worked closely with us customize our ceremony and gave us all the tips and tricks to have a beautiful ceremony. Overall, I had an amazing experience with Dr. Jeff. He is by far one of the best wedding choices I made. If you are unsure about spending the money for a quality officiant with a kind heart, I am telling you that you should take the leap. We did and we are so thankful we did!

Because of that, he was able to craft a ceremony that felt so personal to our story. He’s professional, thoughtful about every detail, and brought such a steady yet joyful presence to our wedding day. The ceremony flowed seamlessly, and he added such a special energy to the moment. We are so grateful for his guidance, care, and friendship!

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 Kim for a long time. I saw when her business started and how it's grown into something so beautiful that has blossomed and helps people. She puts her heart and professionalism into every ceremony she performs. No two ceremonies are alike because the couples and their stories are different and personal to them. My husband and I were Kim's 100th couple that she married. It's so amazing that she's almost married 250 couples by now!!! We were so happy and honored to have her write and lead our ceremony. Our ceremony was very intimate with my husband, myself, our young children, and Kim. This was the second marriage for the both of us. It was in a private and beautiful place that we chose that was special to us and our story. Kim met us there. Kim gets to know the couple getting married, the story of how they met, and what they want to include in their ceremony. If you need help with ideas she has a wealth of resources to help you get exactly what you want for your most special day. She's led many little and big ceremonies. We're so thankful for Kim and Fanciful Hearts Wedding Ceremonies. We wouldn't have wanted anyone else to marry us. We highly recommend them. Thank you.

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.

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!

Emerald Elegance Wedding Ceremonies deserves all the accolades! Emerald is the utmost professional, bringing kindness and enthusiasm every step of the way. She was so well organized, quick to propose helpful suggestions for the ceremony, considered aspects of the ceremony we didn’t even think of, and truly guided us through the process (even the marriage license process - which is the biggest wedding day to-do haha). My husband and I had our wedding this past Halloween and admittedly were behind on our vendor search. We were so grateful when Emerald was available to officiate our wedding on just a few weeks notice. She crafted the most beautiful and perfect ceremony - my partner and I were both in tears just in the zoom meeting. The day of, Emerald took control and guided the ceremony effortlessly. She made sure to allow us a moment to take in the view of all our loved ones during the ceremony, made sure to make our guests a part of the vows and walked us through our responses. I cannot sing her praises enough - and our guests all absolutely raved about Emerald all throughout the day and evening. Do not hesitate to book Emerald!! We hit the jackpot, and could not have asked for a more perfect officiant, ceremony and even the process leading up to the big day. Thank you so much for making our day so perfect, and for reflecting so much love into our ceremony. We cannot wait to follow your business’s growth and see you win all the awards!

Hi, I’m Kasey King! I believe your wedding ceremony shouldn’t just be the "official" part of the day—it should be the absolute highlight. For over a decade, I’ve stood alongside couples in the beautiful Charleston area, crafting deeply personal, engaging, and memorable ceremonies that perfectly reflect who you are. Whether you’re planning an intimate coastal elopement, a classic Lowcountry celebration, or a modern ceremony, my goal is to make the experience feel effortless, intentional, and uniquely yours. I’ll get to know your story and vibe so you can feel entirely at ease. Let’s make it a moment you and your guests will never forget!

Kasey was the perfect person to officiate our wedding! From the beginning, he made sure he was able to perform the ceremony exactly how we wanted. He walked us through every step and made the whole process of planning our ceremony as easy as possible. He is a very fun and caring person and made our ceremony personal to us. Many members of our wedding party told us how much they liked him too and how he perfectly captured our relationship in the ceremony! My husband and I would highly recommend Kasey to anyone looking to get married in this area.

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.
