We had Evan officiate our wedding/elopement and he was fantastic. From our first conversation, Evan was relaxed and easy to work with, which helped us feel calm about the whole process. The whole experience was natural and fun. We chose a sunset beach wedding and quickly realizing my (now) wife's love of sunset photos stopped right in the middle to get a photo of us just before the sun went down...and we loved that ability to read the moment. We'd absolutely recommend Married By Evan to any couple looking for a professional, fun, relaxed 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!!

From our first conversation with Austin Area Weddings, we knew we had found the right officiant for our day. He responded quickly to our questions and made the entire process feel stress-free, which meant so much during the planning stages, even helping us navigate the license process. What really stood out was how genuine and personable he was—our guests actually asked how we knew him because he felt like an old friend! His passion for what he does is obvious, and he brought such care and attention to every detail of our ceremony.

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!

Before you read my review, go book Tim NOW before it’s too late! It will be the best decision you make (other than saying YES!, of course). Tim officiated our wedding on April 25 at Waters Edge Vinyard in Louisville, Ohio. My wife and I found Tim online and instantly fell in love with his quirky and thorough website. After calling Tim up, we quickly realized we wasn’t lying—he really does love his job! At that point, we knew that no one else but Tim could officiate our wedding. Tim is an expert in his craft and a skilled orator. More importantly, he is a great guy. Tim will put in the time that your special day deserves. On your big day, he will speak passionately about love and commitment and find a way to share your love story in a way that will make the crowd shed a tear. We had so many guests ask us who Tim was, how we knew him, and whether he had a card. Tim was a hit! And we are so thankful to him for making our wedding day an unforgettable one. I can’t forget to mention his impeccable fashion instincts. 10/10.

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.

Awarded Best of Zola
I cannot say enough amazing things about Chris!! He came super highly recommended by our planner so we felt lucky to be able to book him for our date. From the first meeting, Chris was engaging and fun, yet professional and had a clear process that he explained to us. That process, included questions that dove deep into our relationship and love story and was extremely fun for us to complete. As I look back, his process feels like a super special part of the planning process. Then came wedding day…. Chris was phenomenal!!! The ceremony was so fun and exactly our vibe. He involved our guests the perfect amount and the ceremony felt so special and exactly what we wanted. Multiple guests raved about him, but beyond that, told me they got a chance to talk with him afterwards which I thought was so special that he stayed and engaged with guests. I would rate him more than five stars if I could, book Chris Shelley!!!

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. Her calming and healing presence is truly unmatched and SO valued on wedding day. Thank you so much Nicolle for all of your guidance and for being an amazing officiant!!

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!

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!

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 was absolutely wonderful, and we can’t recommend her enough. From the start, she was warm, professional, and genuinely invested in getting to know us and our story. The ceremony felt personal, meaningful, and so us. On our wedding day, Chelsea brought a calm and reassuring presence and delivered the ceremony beautifully. So many of our guests commented on how touching it was and even asked if she was a close friend because of how personal it felt. We are so grateful to Chelsea for helping make our day truly unforgettable.

Reverend Kayelily did an incredible job officiating our wedding ceremony. Her communication style was clear, quick, and informative, putting us at ease throughout the entire process. Kayelily's work was truly compassionate, genuine, and heart-felt, as she understood the importance of our special day and wanted to fully share in the experience with us, not just observe. From providing a tissue to wipe our tears to joining our hands in unity, Kayelily's warmth and care made our ceremony all the more meaningful and special. We couldn't have asked for a better wedding officiant to guide us through this momentous occasion. We couldn’t be more thankful!

Absolutely Outstanding Officiant – The Best I’ve Worked With! As both the mother of the groom and a wedding planner, I’ve worked with many officiants — and I can confidently say this one is the best I’ve encountered. He didn’t just read from a script; he spoke with warmth, authenticity, and a rhythm that was genuinely engaging. His tone was clear and inviting, and his ability to make the ceremony feel personal — even on the fly — was truly impressive. He was professionally dressed, effortlessly funny, and brought such a calming, familiar energy that it felt like we had known him forever. The ceremony was heartfelt, memorable, and exactly what every couple dreams of. He’s now my top recommendation for all my future couples — a true gem in this industry!

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.
