Norman officiated our Ten Year Vow Renewal, and he is very professional, courteous, and very organized. Norman traveled from New Jersey to Colorado, to officiate and celebrate with us, and exceeded our expectations.

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.

The Resonant Officiant

Clayton, NJ
  • Offers 9 ceremony types
  • Starts at $200
  • Serves New Jersey

My Grandfather was one of the first people in my life to hand me a microphone, and I have found myself holding one ever since. My name is Kaitlin, and I go by The Resonant Officiant. 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.

Awarded Best of Zola
The Resonant Officiant was the perfect choice for our wedding ceremony. Kait, our officiant, was open, warm, and friendly throughout our entire interaction. She took the time to really listen to us and understand the vision we had for our special day. Kait was incredibly detail-oriented, crafting a truly extraordinary ceremony that felt so personal and meaningful. We were blown away by her thoughtfulness and how trustworthy she was in guiding us through the process. Kait's words had such an impact, and we will always cherish the special details she included that made our ceremony so memorable. We highly recommend The Resonant Officiant to any couple looking for an officiant who will make your wedding day unforgettable.

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 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.

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!

If you’re here, it’s probably because you are looking for the right person to give you a special, personalized ceremony.

People laughed, cried, and were just in awe with the ceremony. It was absolutely the most memorable part of the day.” – Megan P., Ground for Sculpture “Not only did we love him, but our guests couldn’t stop raving about him.” – Christina J., Bonnet Island Estate

Ken was great! I had no idea what I wanted for my ceremony. Ken went through a ton of possibilities created a form to guide me and my now husband through the process. We missed our opportunity to connect due to my wedding party being late and we missed our opportunity to connect the day of the wedding, but he was waiting for us at the altar prepared to deliver his speech.

I enjoy working with couples to create your perfect ceremony. I love to meet, in person or virtually, so you can share your story, and you get to know me a little so it feels like you're getting married by a friend.

Ceremonies by Vanessa LLC was an amazing choice for our wedding officiant. From the very first conversation, Vanessa communicated with us in a warm and professional manner. She took the time to fully understand everything we wanted included in our ceremony, and then executed it flawlessly. The little details she incorporated, like our special readings, made the ceremony feel truly tailored to us. Vanessa's expertise and attention to detail resulted in a wedding ceremony that was above and beyond our expectations. We are so grateful to Vanessa for helping make our special day perfect.

Weddings by Annette is a highly regarded wedding officiant service based in Berlin, New Jersey, serving couples throughout South Jersey, Philadelphia, and surrounding areas. Founded by Annette Panasiuk, an ordained minister and award-winning officiant since 2012, the business is known for crafting heartfelt, customized ceremonies that reflect each couple’s unique love story.

Although this review comes six years later, the impact of our wedding officiant has never faded. Life happens, but some people leave such a lasting impression that time simply doesn’t erase it—and she is one of those people. From premarital counseling to our wedding day and even thoughtful follow-ups afterward, she was nothing short of exceptional. Her guidance was genuine, her presence was calming and affirming, and she truly cared—not just about the ceremony, but about us as a couple and our marriage as a whole. What stands out most is her heart. She is for everyone. There isn’t a single prejudiced or discriminatory bone in her body, and in a world where inclusivity truly matters, she embodied that long before it became a buzzword. She made us feel seen, respected, and supported every step of the way. If God allows us the blessing of renewing our vows one day, she will be our first and only choice—without hesitation. Thank you for being such a beautiful part of our journey. I’m forever grateful, and I hope you know how deeply appreciated you are.
