The Resonant Officiant 
Rating: 5.0 (13 reviews)
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
Picture it, Clayton NJ, 2025. You’re about to have the spooky wedding of your dreams in the middle of the woods, but you’re not quite sure how to start or even close out your ceremony. Kait was there the entire way. Perfectly curating the ceremony to our style. We laughed, we cried, and I didn’t poop my pants from anxiety because I knew she had us taken care of . We are not religious, but wanted to do some sort of ritual that captures us as a couple. No hand fasting, no sand, no unity candles. None of them seem quite right and then bam, Kait comes in with an idea not only have I never seen before, but it’s so perfectly us as a couple it brought tears to my eyes. She knew we were both artists and had us create a picture together. The first piece of art we created as one unit. Our hands were shaky so it’s wonky, but it’s my favorite thing ever. I’m still not sure why you’re reading this and haven’t hired her already.

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!

Officiant Services by Colleen & Co. provided us with an exceptional wedding ceremony experience. Communication and collaboration throughout the entire planning process made us feel completely at ease. Our ceremony was truly personalized, meaningful, and detailed - Colleen took the time to get to know us and our story, and customized the ceremony to capture us as a couple. The end result was a heartfelt and memorable service that captured the essence of our relationship. We are so grateful to Colleen for helping to make our special day everything we had dreamed of and more!
