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
The ceremony was spectacular. She reached out to us to talk beforehand, and everything she said was truly beautiful. We had a reference from someone else, and we can confidently and wholeheartedly recommend her services. It’s clear that she loves what she does.

Tim Greathouse, Ohio Wedding Officiant

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 Greathouse, the Ohio Wedding Officiant, was amazing, personable, and hilarious. His work was top-notch, and he was truly the best there is! He made our vows perfect - heartfelt and funny. Even a year later, we still get compliments on how wonderful Tim was. He was so personable with everything, and his added humor was just top-notch. He made our special day so much better, speaking like a good friend who had known us for years, not just an officiant. I can't recommend Tim enough!

We were so glad we chose Evan to officiate our wedding.

Hitched! By Harper is where unforgettable ceremonies meet authentic storytelling. I’m a firefighter-turned-award-winning officiant who crafts one-of-a-kind wedding experiences rooted in joy, meaning, and a touch of humor. Since 2010, I’ve helped couples of all backgrounds feel seen, celebrated, and totally at ease on their big day. Every ceremony is written from scratch to reflect your vibe, your values, and your story—not a template in sight.

My fiancé and I had Kevin officiate our wedding in August of 2025, and it was one of the best wedding decisions we made in the whole process! 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! Kevin was beyond impressive and we would recommend him and his services to anyone! If I could give this more than 5 stars I would.

June of 2023 I officiated my first wedding and had so much fun, I decided to take this on and build a brand others and myself would love. Since then, I’ve officiated over 370 weddings and am still loving every minute of it.

Awarded Best of Zola
Choosing the person who will marry you is one of the most important decisions for your wedding ceremony. I was searching for someone with genuine warmth — someone who would make me feel completely comfortable, whose personality would touch our guests, and who could truly connect everyone in that special moment. From the very first conversation, Jaclyn Rodriguez made me feel at ease. Her kindness, compassion, and beautiful energy were evident immediately. On our wedding day, she created a ceremony that was not only meaningful and heartfelt, but also deeply personal and unforgettable. Her words felt sincere and touching, and her presence brought a sense of calm, love, and joy that filled the entire space. Many of our guests told us afterward how moved they were and how special the ceremony felt — something we will cherish forever. Jaclyn didn’t just officiate our wedding; she helped create one of the most magical moments of our lives. I am beyond grateful for her and would recommend her with all my heart to any couple who wants a ceremony filled with warmth, authenticity, and love.

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.

Awarded Best of Zola
Illuminating Ceremonies was the perfect choice for our wedding. From the very first interaction, we knew Chris was the person for us. He is a true professional and clearly an expert at his craft, skillfully capturing our love story through thoughtful, creative, and engaging storytelling. He took the time to get to know us and what makes us unique to build the perfect flow for our ceremony. It was my favorite part of the wedding! Even on a very hot day, he kept our guests entertained and upbeat, there was both continuous laughter and happy tears throughout the ceremony. The perfect balance and tone for us! Many guests commented to us that they typically don't enjoy wedding ceremonies, but ours was highly entertaining and heartfelt. We highly recommend Illuminating Ceremonies to any couple looking for a wedding officiant who will make your special day unforgettable.

Beaverton, OR

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.

My (now) husband and I chose Ernie as our wedding officiant for our small elopement in September of 2025, and we honestly could not have chosen a better officiant. There was a delay with the wedding getting started due to some issues with the venue, but Ernie was patient with us and helped direct things as we were getting no direction from the venue. Besides being a calming and helpful presence, the ceremony he performed was absolutely perfect. As our wedding was so small (just us and our dads), the ceremony was basically the main event so I wanted the best of the best, and that was Ernie. His speech was beautiful and exactly what I was hoping for. He brought us both to tears (in a good way!) as although he didn’t know us well, you wouldn’t have been able to tell based on how customized his ceremony was. Ernie was also helpful before the wedding, helping to guide us through the what the ceremony would look like and offering resources for help writing our vows. It was a wonderful experience working with Ernie and it is clear to see why he’s been voted the best officiant in the PNW.

Rabbi Noyo (Rabbi Sarah Noyovitz) is a warm, inclusive, and creative officiant based in Boston, MA. She crafts meaningful, personalized wedding ceremonies for couples of all backgrounds - Jewish, interfaith, non-religious, queer, poly, and beyond. Whether you want something simple or symbolic, she will collaborate with you to make it feel deeply “you.” She brings care, clarity, and joy to every celebration and believes your love deserves to be honored with intention.

Awarded Best of Zola
Rabbi Noyo is the best! Hire her now. More context: We hired Rabbi Noyo to officiate our interfaith wedding in September 2024. We wanted to add some jewish elements to our wedding but did not know what our options were beyond breaking the glass and the Chuppah. Rabbi Noyo was understanding and patient with us - she took the time to really get to know me and now husband, our history, what we love about one another, etc. She also encouraged us to have important, difficult conversations leading up to the wedding, which she cleverly coined as 'pillow talk'. This helped strengthen our bond and us feel completely secure and ready for our upcoming nuptials. In additional to these sessions, Rabbi Noyo also took the time to explain the various elements that could be incorporated leading up to and during the ceremony, the significance behind them, and even provided information on where to learn more/buy items. She never pressured us or made us feel badly for skipping ceremony components and even provided alternative language for blessings that felt more like us. She also provided input on our program, reviewed our vows, and even had printed copies ready for us during the ceremony. Rabbi Noyo made our wedding ceremony truly perfect. Her words during the ceremony were BEAUTIFUL, heartfelt, and funny. She knew the little things that mattered (including setting expectations ahead of the ceremony, moving to the side for the kiss, etc.) and helped everyone feel so comfortable. She gave clear instructions to the guests and helped make sure that the special moments worked seamlessly. She encouraged our love to shine through and facilitated an absolutely gorgeous ceremony. Our guests are even still talking about how amazing the Rabbi was and asking where to find her. Rabbi Noyo made our wedding exactly the way we wanted it to be, and I know she will do the same for you. Hire her! You will not regret it :)

Working with Dawn was such a pleasure!!! She made the marriage process so easy. She led my now husband and I through all the proper steps and she was really fast at communicating and answering any questions we had. The ceremony was absolutely beautiful and she truly made our day so special! We had full trust in her to have the paper work printed and delivered to the courts and she was extremely professional throughout the whole process. We loved that she had ceremony templates made for us to look at and that she had a good range of traditional to non traditional ceremonies options. Everything was exactly how we envisioned and she is just the kindest woman ever! I highly highly recommend Dawn for anyone who is looking for a wedding officiant! Thank you so much Dawn! We loved working with you!

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 married Douglas and me at the beautiful I'On Chapel on June 7, 2026, and I truly could not have asked for a better officiant. He has such a phenomenal personality and made our ceremony feel so personal, meaningful, and special. From the moment we met him, he made us feel completely at ease, and he created a ceremony that reflected us perfectly. We are so grateful he was part of our wedding day and would recommend him to any couple looking for someone who genuinely cares about making their ceremony unforgettable

Matthew is an amazing photographer but more importantly he’s an amazing person! He works his tail off to bring his and our thoughts to life in his photos. He always over delivers on his work and leaves us completely satisfied and with lasting memories! We have used him for our wedding as well as my wife’s pregnancy photos. We won’t use any other photographer and when we are ready we will be using him for our family photos as well.

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.
