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 hired Yvonne last minute for our very small, intimate wedding, and I truly can’t say enough amazing things about her. Originally, we were planning to just go to the courthouse, but I really wanted something that felt more personal and meaningful. I reached out to Yvonne, and she responded so quickly and immediately understood exactly what we were hoping for. She was professional, kind, and so easy to work with throughout the entire process. The ceremony she created for us was beautiful and heartfelt — she took the time to tell our love story in such a special way that made the moment unforgettable. Even though our wedding was small, she made it feel incredibly intimate and meaningful, which is exactly what we wanted. Yvonne truly went above and beyond, and we are so grateful we found her. If you’re looking for someone who will make your wedding feel personal, memorable, and full of love, I highly recommend her. She was the best ever and a huge part of what made our day so special.

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
Like any great love story! The moment I found Tim’s website, I knew he was the one! The last line of my vows was “Till your unsolvable murder do us part”. Not just any man is up for that job. I knew he would see the humor of it. What I didn’t know was how amazing of a person he really is. The poem he read. Was so spot on for us! We settled who would read their vows first over a game of rock, paper, scissors. We laughed so much. He truly made the ceremony so memorable! I highly recommend Tim!

Great experience with Evan and his team. Easy to get in touch and Evan walked me through how to serve our guests in a way that made sense. We planned to do two signature cocktails, and then a selection of beer and wine, which was recommended by Evan and it worked out perfectly. As the bride, I was always here or there mingling with family as much as I could, and I trusted Evan and his team to take care of our guests, and they definitely delivered. Really happy with how easy he made the planning!

The Officiant Jawn was AMAZING. Our ceremony wouldn’t have been the same without her. We couldn’t have asked for anyone better. She was so organized and attentive making sure we knew everything that would go on throughout the day which was such a relief. From the communication early on all the way until the day of, to checking on my wife for me when I thought she was freaking out beforehand, to reassuring me that she was fine and more. She helped calm my own nerves and honestly I felt like I just had another supportive family member by my side. Our ceremony was soooo amazing and she made us and our guests laugh. She’s hilarious! Everyone at our wedding was also complimenting our officiant and said how awesome she was and how they wanted to be friends with her! They were so impressed with her energy, as were we. I’m soooo glad she joined us for our big day! Like I said I cannot IMAGINE having anyone else there! We asked for an officiant for a day, but got a friend for life.

Flushing, NY

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.

From our first conversation, Ms. Ellie made us feel completely at ease with her welcoming approach and genuine interest in our vision. She listened carefully to what mattered most to us and wove our faith into every detail of the ceremony, from the prayers to the specific words she chose. What really stood out was how authentic and heartfelt everything felt—it was clear she put thought into creating a moment that honored us and gave God the praise we wanted. Ms. Ellie's communication throughout the planning process was efficient and organized, yet she never lost sight of the personal touches that made our day special. She was kind and caring every step of the way, and on our wedding day she delivered a ceremony that felt straight from our hearts.

Found Julia on Google search and inquired through her website. So happy that she was available on our wedding date. Right away, I knew Julia would be perfect to officiate us. We had communicated over email and decided to book her. We went with the Dream Package which included one of two options of classic vows and a personalized ceremony script based on your answers to the questionnaires. After you answer the questionnaires, she will send you a copy to review and make any edits. On the wedding day, Julia arrived early at the courthouse and was super helpful in guiding some of our family members. We were doing private vows at first so we were busy, so any help was greatly appreciated. Julia did an amazing job with the ceremony!! We couldn't be any more happier. She also handed in the marriage license right after the ceremony so we were able to pick up our marriage certificate the next morning. I definitely recommend her!! You won't regret it :) THANK YOU SO MUCH, JULIA!

We cannot recommend Miriam highly enough! She was kind and caring, professional, and extremely good at her job, for a very decent price. She helped our wedding go so smoothly and we are so incredibly grateful she was part of our special day! Our photographer heard we were looking for an officiant for our wedding, and passed along Miriam’s information. From the moment we connected with her, we felt her warm and friendly energy and felt totally at ease about planning our wedding ceremony! Before we met Miriam, we were not really sure what we wanted our wedding to be, but we did know we wanted it to be written by us, and as a queer couple we did not want a “traditional” wedding. It started off feeling overwhelming with so many details to plan overall, but as soon as we met with Miriam, we felt completely at ease and even excited about the process! We threw out some ideas that wove in our New Age/paganistic spiritual beliefs, and Miriam reached out to her pagan priestess friend and did a deep dive researching for our ceremony and coming back to us with so many wonderful ideas. She thoughtfully and creatively wove all the important elements we hoped for into a beautiful ceremony, down to every detail. She was open to our ideas, and supportive through every step of the way, right up until we were there in the moment getting married, and even after the ceremony. She helped make our wedding so special, and we got so many compliments on how “us” our ceremony was and what a great job Miriam did. 100/10, would recommend, do yourself a favor and take this as your sign to book with her!

She brings a beautiful presence and constant smile that is both calming and infectious. We especially appreciated her dedication, as she was willing to travel for our event.

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.

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!

From our very first call, my spouse and I felt an immediate connection and knew we were in the best hands with Kasey. Kasey truly invested in us—from walking us through the ceremony several times leading up to the big day, to sharing thoughtful advice and helpful guidance along the way. It meant so much that he took nearly two hours to meet with us for coffee while we were in Charleston for planning (we live in Birmingham so our wedding was a destination wedding). Kasey made the wedding ceremony planning experience feel so personal, meaningful, and uniquely ours. His consistent communication, encouragement, and wisdom truly made a difference, and he did a phenomenal job taking us through the ceremony, keeping calm when I, the groom, mistakenly grabbed my own ring to put on my bride's finger... Many of our guests said to us afterwards how wonderful he was and have even asked us for his information to recommend to some of their friends. We are so thankful for the role he played in such an important moment in our lives!

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!

Jeff can be described in one word. Outstanding! We originally went with Jeff since he is a retired Navy Chaplain, as a Marine that was an instant pro fro me but he also; helped and made the process of planning the wedding from the opposite of the country easy with video calls, while still making time to meet us prior to the wedding to get face to face time as well as run a walk through of our wedding day. He was also able to do a good portion of the ceremony in Spanish to help my in-laws understand what was happening and make them included in the ceremony. He helped us plan out for amazing pictures of the ceremony down to what he would wear. He coached up the bridal party on their roll in the ceremony so everything went smooth. The only negative thing I can say about Jeff is; well I didn't get to spend more time with him! He is amazing and funny and I genuinely cannot recommend him enough. If you're looking to add the perfect Pastor/Officiant for your perfect day Jeff is an easy inclusion.

Koru did and AMAZING job at putting together our ceremony! Our guests could not stop raving about how personalized and special the ceremony was. It was truly memorable. Deciding on an officiant was one of our tougher decisions for us during wedding planning. We went back and forth on asking a friend vs hiring a vendor. Pat was so personable and bubbly during our first meet, my husband and I knew the second we hung up on the Zoom meeting that we were going to hire her. Pat was so easygoing and responsive to questions/changes we made throughout the process. She was also a large help during our rehearsal and had a ton of great tips for the wedding party. Hiring Koru was one of the best decision we made for our wedding day.

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.
