Mesquite, TX

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. ♥

We cannot say enough wonderful things about Stephanie and Yvonne! Our original officiant had to step back very last minute, and we were so nervous about finding someone who would understand the vision we had for our ceremony. We connected with Yvonne who was already booked for our day, but she put us together with Stephanie, both of whom went above and beyond for us and our wedding day! Stephanie took the time to get to know us on a Zoom call, listened closely to what we wanted, found ways to understand us on a deeper level, and crafted a ceremony that felt deeply personal, heartfelt, and us. She delivered it beautifully, warm, genuine, and full of intention. She made our guests laugh, cry, and feel every moment right along with us, and they are still talking about her! Right before I walked down the aisle, when nerves started to set in, Stephanie noticed me feeling panicky and immediately stepped in after only meeting me for a quick moment. With such conviction in her voice, she reminded me why I had done all of this, helped me refocus on the meaning of the moment, and even did breathwork with me until I felt calm again. It was one of the most grounding, beautiful gestures of my day, and something I’ll never forget. Even after the wedding, because we couldn’t find our marriage certificate on the day of, she and her husband met up with us to sign it, and we left that meeting feeling like we had made real friends. I truly feel like that speaks volumes about her character. We’re so grateful to have crossed paths with Stephanie and Yvonne. What started as a last-minute change turned into one of the biggest blessings of our wedding. 10/10 recommend!

I am your guests' favorite thing about your wedding. Since 2011, I've been writing and performing personal, meaningful and refreshingly engaging ceremonies for couples just like you and couples who are nothing like you. Couples work with me with an easy, collaborative process during which I become your favorite part of wedding planning. I take guest experience and your wishes very seriously. Your families will thank you for getting somebody who makes the ceremony light while still making clear how beautiful it is that you found each other. I officiate all over the US.

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.

Tim Greathouse, Ohio Wedding Officiant

Canton, OH

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!

We had the absolute pleasure of having Timothy officiate our wedding on May 17th, and we truly couldn’t have asked for anyone better. From the very beginning, he was kind, professional, and incredibly helpful. He guided us through every step, helped calm our nerves on the big day, and brought such a warm and personal touch to our ceremony. Timothy made our guests laugh, brought a few happy tears, and somehow made it feel like he had known us forever. So many of our friends and family told us how amazing he was! If you’re looking for someone who will make your ceremony meaningful, personal, and full of heart—Timothy is the one. We are forever grateful!

Thinking about having your good friend officiate your big day for you, but unsure of how they will do? Well what if your good friend was a professional with over 2,300 weddings under their belt? That's the best way to describe what we shoot for at MBE ... being the good friend that definitely knows what to do when the moment counts! Whether you plan to have an intimate elopement ceremony or if you've been working on your dream wedding for months, we'd love to help you make your day one to truly remember. Our goals are to help you decide exactly what you want to do on your big day and to do everything we can to make it come to life!

One of the most complimented parts of our entire wedding day was our ceremony, and that’s all thanks to our incredible officiant, Evan. From the beginning, we knew we wanted a ceremony that felt meaningful and personal, and Evan delivered that and so much more. He met with us ahead of time, walked us through everything, and really took the time to understand our story. When the big day came, he absolutely nailed it. He shared our love story in such a heartfelt and light-hearted way, beautifully weaving in some of my favorite scripture. There was laughter, happy tears, and so much joy…he truly set the tone for the rest of the day, and helped calm my nerves more than he probably realized. To top it all off, Evan is a true jack of all trades, his company also offers bartending services! Right after the ceremony, he jumped behind the bar and kept the good vibes going. So many of our guests told us how much they enjoyed chatting with him and how great the service was. If you're looking for someone who can do it all,and do it with heart….Evan is your guy.

I take pride in the fact that I’m a connector and listener. I love getting to know people and learning and helping to share their stories. And I’m happiest when I’m able to help people take those stories and turn them into something meaningful, whether it’s a wedding ceremony or a marriage proposal or whatever milestone you’re holding space for. Through thoughtful questions and deep conversations, we'll collaborate on crafting your one-of-a-kind ceremony.

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!

Why settle for the same clichéd, predictable service everyone else uses? You're unique, and your wedding should be, too. I'll work with you to design the perfect ceremony to match your own individual style and personality.

David was absolutely amazing, and we truly could not have had a better experience. We did not start looking for officiants as early as the other vendors, and I was feeling a bit stressed about it, but David made the process as easy and seamless as possible. He worked with us leading up to the event to make sure that the ceremony felt like us and was happy to make any adjustments we wanted even right up to the event. We really appreciated that we could be as much or little involved in the details of the ceremony as we wanted. The ceremony was beautiful - not only did we think David was amazing, but we got so many compliments from our guests as well (and he also took care of all the paperwork which was very much appreciated so we could focus on all the other important things). We feel so fortunate that we chose to work with David for our wedding - could not recommend him enough.

Hi, I’m Carla, a legally authorized wedding officiant based in the Washington D.C. area. I’m all about creating moments that feel genuine and joyful. While I primarily serve the District of Columbia, Maryland, Virginia, and West Virginia, I’m always up for an adventure. I’m passport ready and happy to travel wherever love takes you. For couples coming from out of town, I can help set up your elopement, connect you with trusted local vendors, and guide you through the marriage license process so everything feels smooth and stress-free.

I worked with Carla on two weddings. I enjoyed her easy going professionalism and felt at ease with her and her wedding planning team. They are the best in the DMV and I’m happy that they wanted me to share my skills. She was easy to schedule time with to discuss any questions and share my concerns. I especially liked that she met with me and told me the details of the couple, the layout of the location and where the best vantage points were to ensure that I captured the key moments during the ceremony. She also walked me around the area with the couple so that we could all get to know each other and form a good connection. During the ceremony, she gave good cues that were discreet and helpful to ensure that I was well positioned. Afterwards, she reached out to confirm expected dates and payment for my services.

Rev. Phil is a full-time wedding officiant. He is real minister (with a Master of Divinity degree). He has been married to Pam for 41 years. He enjoys watching movies (tries to see all the Oscar nominees), reading newspapers on his iPad, the Bears, summer concerts at the Chicago Botanic Garden and wine. He and his wife love to chat, listen to music and drink wine in front of their fireplace or in the backyard, depending on the season.

We feel so lucky to have had Reverend Phil as our officiant—he truly made our outdoor ceremony not only beautiful and memorable, but deeply meaningful. He brought the perfect balance of a religious tone with warmth and sincerity, creating an atmosphere that felt so personal and reflective of us as a couple. Every part of the ceremony was incredibly intentional. Reverend Phil involved us throughout the entire process, from approving the full script to holding a rehearsal on the grounds to ensure everything would go smoothly. He didn’t just officiate—he genuinely acted as a ceremony coordinator, stepping in when needed (including when the wind unexpectedly knocked over and broke our glass vases) and handling it all with calm and care. We can't recommend Reverend Phil enough to any couple looking for a ceremony that’s heartfelt, thoughtful, and truly unforgettable.

His speech was the perfect mix of lighthearted jokes, love, personal stories from our relationship, and information and feelings from my husband and I.

When we began planning our wedding, we thought it would be nearly impossible to create a ceremony that would make everyone happy. My husband and I come from very different religious backgrounds, and we truly had no idea where to start. Left to our own devices, we probably would have just gone to the courthouse, but we knew our families (especially mine) hoped for something much more traditional. I was so pleasantly surprised to find Your Wedding Officiant and learn that we could build a ceremony from scratch- one that honored tradition while still feeling true to us. We worked closely with Reverend Dennis, who guided us every step of the way. He was incredibly kind, communicative, flexible, and such a pleasure to work with. Thanks to him, we were able to create a beautiful ceremony that thoughtfully blended our families’ values with our own preferences. I can’t overstate how meaningful it was to have so much control and customization without sacrificing reverence or structure. I would recommend Your Wedding Officiant to absolutely anyone. We are so grateful to Reverend Dennis and the team for helping make our day unforgettable.

Thanks to April, we were able to fully enjoy our wedding day. It was truly the best decision we made to have her as both our officiant and coordinator. If you’re looking for someone who is thoughtful, professional, organized, and kind look no further. We are beyond grateful! It was also a big surprise for us and made it even more special when we found out she also married my little sister on her wedding day back in October!!

K went an above and beyond for us! We were very late getting an officiant, but thankfully K had an availability! (Look into your options early folks, might not get lucky like us!!) She was quick to respond, set up meetings and work on what you wanted in your ceremony! She arrived early day of wedding with everything ready to go (as a bride, trust me this will make you so much less nervous.) Our ceremony turned out absolutely perfect! K was so well spoken and understood our story perfectly. We had a couple of small changes day of and she quickly accommodated! Again, the day was just perfect! I cannot stress enough how amazing of an officiant K is! I will be recommending her to anyone I can! Thank you so K, we were so lucky to have you apart of our big day!

Raleigh Wedding Minister 

5.0

Raleigh, NC
  • Offers 9 ceremony types

Co-creating fun, romantic wedding ceremonies with my couples and joining them in marriage on their wedding day. Seminary ordained in 1997 and legally recognized in North Carolina to solemnize marriages.

We absolutely loved working with Kayelily as our wedding officiant! She was kind, attentive, and made the whole process so easy and enjoyable. We actually knew we were in great hands because not only was she recommended by our venue, Highgrove Estate, but she also officiated my sister’s wedding at The Bradford back in December 2018 — such an unexpected and special connection! Our ceremony was everything we hoped for and more. Kayelily shared our love story in a way that was sweet, funny, and perfectly us. It flowed beautifully, had everyone smiling (and tearing up!), and was the perfect length at under 30 minutes. We received so many compliments from guests who said it was one of the best ceremonies they’d ever seen. If you’re looking for an officiant who truly listens and crafts a meaningful, personalized ceremony, Kayelily is it. We can’t recommend her highly enough!

The Resonant Officiant 

5.0

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

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.

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.

Koru Ceremony: Officiants Celebrating New Beginnings

Deerfield, WI
  • Offers 10 ceremony types
  • Starts at $595

Since 2005, we’ve brought love stories to life through heartfelt, personalized ceremonies. With expert guidance and genuine care, we help you create unforgettable moments celebrating your one-of-a-kind bond. It would be a joy and privilege to officiate your special day.

Where do I even begin. Pat was ABSOLUTELY amazing. We met with Pat before signing with Koru Ceremony and knew after that short meeting she would be the one to marry us (I even canceled my other appointments with other officiants). Pat took time to get to know us, who we were individually and as a couple and created a ceremony that was absolutely us. When we first got our script for approval, I cried. We also received so many compliments after the ceremony on how great it was executed. We couldn't have asked for a better day and Pat started the afternoon with a beautiful ceremony, one we could have only dreamed of.

The Officiant Jawn

Philadelphia, PA

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.

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.

Love Story Vows

San Diego, CA

Wedding officiant Heidi's only job is to make sure that you both have a wonderful ceremony that feels right to you. It should be memorable for the right reasons, have some laughter, a little bit of romance, and show your love for each other. She will capture your personal love story and your ceremony will definitely Not be long and boring! Heidi has married over 650 couples since 2016 and she's known for making the process easy and stress free for you. As a former wedding planner, she makes sure your ceremony flows smoothly and she will help you feel calm and actually enjoy your ceremony!

My husband and I had so much fun working with Heidi from Love Story Vows! From the moment we met Heidi and her wonderful photographer husband, Alan, we knew they were the perfect duo for our Safari Park wedding. They were helpful, communicative, and constantly positive. With Heidi's easy to follow resources and clear questionnaires and forms, together we created the most perfect, nature-centric ceremony. Many of our guests were blown away by our heartfelt ceremony and details of our love story. As a type A bride, Heidi and I had a lot of back and forth emails trying to get the ceremony just right, and she even added a special piece about the symbolism between the Safari animals and our marriage, something very important to us. I think we must have called to the animals, because the most serendipitous thing happened during the ceremony-- a parade of several giraffes came galloping along right behind us, right before I was going to say my vows. We were all completely awestruck, it was just the perfect moment. When we look back on our wedding day, we are blessed to have memories of Heidi's calming and reliable presence. She gave us water, positivity, and delivered the most beautiful ceremony. Our guests who had the chance to meet Heidi, shared with us what a kind person she was. Many also said they loved the tone of her voice and how she was very professional and had the audience in control. Heidi and Alan are both so knowledgeable about weddings, and with their help we felt confident that we had a solid timeline. We felt very well taken care of in their presence. Thank you!

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.
