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. ♥

Blissful & Blessed Unions was the perfect choice for our wedding officiant. From our very first conversation, the communication was quick, thorough, and felt like she was in my mind, understanding exactly what I wanted. On the day of, her words were truly moving and heartfelt, perfectly on point with the theme and vision for our ceremony. She streamlined the entire process, handled any needy guests, and kept the timeline flowing seamlessly. Yvonne truly connected with me early on and felt like family through the entire process, making our special day that much more meaningful. I would highly recommend her to any couple looking for an officiant who will go above and beyond.

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
I couldn’t be happier with how our ceremonies turned out thanks to his expertise. I was always anxious about deciding who should officiate our wedding. My husband and I are not religious, and we always looked at each other and cringed a little when weddings would delve into the religious aspect of the ceremony, as it just made us feel weird about what we would possibly have said during those parts for us. So it was important to me to find an officiant who would respect our secular wishes. I reached out to Tim all the way back in 2023 to see what he was about, and what followed was a nearly 30-minute conversation that felt as natural as talking to someone I had known forever. He was personable, kind, and he made me laugh! I immediately felt so comfortable with him; I knew he would be our guy. So we booked with him for our ceremony planned on 11.01.25. Fast forward to 2024: something came up, and my then-fiancé and I needed to elope immediately. I reached out to Tim, and he offered to do the elopement for us, a simpler version of what was to come. It was a beautiful spring day on 05.01.24, made even more special by the words he said to bind us together legally at a park he recommended in private, just the three of us. It was so nice to get to know him a little more through that interaction, and we knew we made the right choice as soon as we met him! Fast forward once more to 2025: it was finally the year of our ceremony! Tim walked us through what it would be like, and as an anxious bride, I felt so much more at ease as soon as he arrived at our rehearsal. It was like he knew exactly how I felt, and he helped me wrangle our family into getting things moving. Then, finally, our day was here, a crisp but clear fall day on 11.01.25. Tim was the calm, happy energy we needed to pull everything together. The ceremony- I couldn’t believe how beautiful it ended up being. He was everything I wanted in an officiant and more. If we got married a third time, I couldn’t imagine anyone trying to fill his shoes! I would recommend Tim to the moon and back. We truly loved having him as a part of our big day!

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.

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.

Illuminating Ceremonies

Flushing, NY
  • Offers 7 ceremony types

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.

We truly can’t say enough good things about Chris Shelley. He made our ceremony unforgettable—genuine, heartfelt, and so uniquely us. From the very beginning, Chris took the time to get to know us, and it showed in every word he spoke. The stories he told captured our relationship perfectly, striking the perfect balance of sincerity and humor. He had our guests both laughing and tearing up at the same time. So many people came up to us after the ceremony—not just to say how much they loved it, but to ask for Chris’s contact info to pass along to their family and friends. While many ceremonies can feel long or impersonal, Chris created an environment that truly brought everyone together in an engaging and meaningful way.

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.

From the moment my husband and I met Ernie from EC Matrimony, we were impressed by his honest, confident and professional communication style. On the day of our wedding, Ernie's heartfelt, on point and trustworthy approach made the ceremony feel tailored just for us. Despite my lack of preparation, Ernie seamlessly guided us through the wedding, ensuring it was special, humble and full of love. The wedding wouldn't have come together without Ernie's thoughtful contributions, and we are already planning to have him officiate when we renew our vows in the future.

Throughout the planning process, he was always happy to answer questions and offer thoughtful advice and recommendations whenever we needed them. Most importantly the ceremony felt personal, heartfelt, and authentic, not scripted or rushed. He helped create one of the most meaningful moments of our lives, and so many of our family and friends commented afterward on how wonderful he was.

Reverend Dave did an incredible job officiating our wedding! He felt more like a friend of the family rather than an officiant we found online. From the beginning he met with me and my now husband to get to know us, learn our love story, and our overall style as a couple. This led to him helping us develop an amazing ceremony that centered around and highlighted our love story and what matters most to us including our love for each other, our family, and our friends. His sense of humor and banter with our bridal party was an added bonus that broke the ice with everyone and made for funny stories to tell! We got married on May 23rd, 2026. Dave coordinated so well with our DJ and our venue to put the ceremony on and make it run so smoothly. After our ceremony, we got SO many compliments about how beautiful the ceremony was and how they loved hearing our story and Reverend Dave’s style and delivery. We also got complimented on how smoothly it went with the schedule for the night and that was also thanks to Dave! He also made sure to take a selfie with us after the ceremony (pictured below) which is just another example of how fun he is to work with! We are so happy we went with Dave for our wedding ceremony and we are so grateful for all of the work he put in. We would absolutely recommend working with him to any couples getting married in the future!

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!

We had a wonderful experience with Pastor Jeff as our wedding officiant. From our first video call, he took the time to get to know us and made the whole process feel personable and comfortable. He guided us through planning the ceremony with clear communication over email, phone, and video calls, and even hosted a mini-rehearsal at his home and answered all of our questions with great detail. On the wedding day, he arrived looking great in the outfit we’d chosen and took time to coach everyone through their roles before the ceremony. The ceremony itself was beautifully led—thoughtful, heartfelt, and seamless. Afterwards, he even sent us photos he had taken, which was such a kind touch. Pastor Jeff was professional, organized, and truly a joy to work with—we highly recommend him!!!

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.

Emerald Elegance Ceremonies

PHILADELPHIA, PA
  • Offers 10 ceremony types
  • Starts at $400

I became a wedding officiant in 2023 because I believe ceremonies should be anything but boring. This is the moment two people declare their love, it should be heartfelt, engaging, and unapologetically YOU. My ceremonies are so personal and memorable that guests often ask, “How long have you known Emerald?” From emotional vows to inside jokes, first-date stories, flower-grandmas, and even that one uncle’s pill alarm going off mid-ceremony, we’ll work together to and make sure your ceremony is one of the most memorable parts of your big day!

Awarded Best of Zola
Emerald Elegance Wedding Ceremonies deserves all the accolades! Emerald is the utmost professional, bringing kindness and enthusiasm every step of the way. She was so well organized, quick to propose helpful suggestions for the ceremony, considered aspects of the ceremony we didn’t even think of, and truly guided us through the process (even the marriage license process - which is the biggest wedding day to-do haha). My husband and I had our wedding this past Halloween and admittedly were behind on our vendor search. We were so grateful when Emerald was available to officiate our wedding on just a few weeks notice. She crafted the most beautiful and perfect ceremony - my partner and I were both in tears just in the zoom meeting. The day of, Emerald took control and guided the ceremony effortlessly. She made sure to allow us a moment to take in the view of all our loved ones during the ceremony, made sure to make our guests a part of the vows and walked us through our responses. I cannot sing her praises enough - and our guests all absolutely raved about Emerald all throughout the day and evening. Do not hesitate to book Emerald!! We hit the jackpot, and could not have asked for a more perfect officiant, ceremony and even the process leading up to the big day. Thank you so much for making our day so perfect, and for reflecting so much love into our ceremony. We cannot wait to follow your business’s growth and see you win all the awards!

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.
