I’ve known Norman (and the newlyweds) for years, and watching him lead the ceremony was truly amazing. I had the pleasure of being a bridesmaid, and they honestly couldn’t have picked a better officiant! He made everything feel so warm and personal, heartfelt, and even a little fun! He gave us smiles, he gave us laughs, and he perfectly captured the couple’s personalities. Weddings can be hectic and stressful, but he made sure that on the big day they were calm, confident, and completely at ease in front of everyone. It was very natural, very organic, and I loved that. The ceremony flowed beautifully, and so many of us were smiling, laughing, and even tearing up at the perfect moments. The bridesmaids cried, the groomsmen cried, we all cried. But it was all happy tears, such a beautiful thing to be apart of! We all had such a great time, and you could just tell how much thought and care he put into making their day special. If you want someone who’s professional, warm, and makes the whole experience unforgettable, someone who’s going to reflect on your personalities and your journey as a couple, and someone to really move and make your guests feel that love in the atmosphere, Norman is the man to call! You surely won’t regret it.

Hey, I’m Tiara — your modern, non- denominational officiant known for vibrantly authentic ceremonies rooted in heart, humor, and soulful storytelling. I don’t just officiate, I lead. Through story-led ceremony design and a mic-drop delivery, I bring your guests into your love story in a way that feels effortless, elevated, and entirely yours.

This review is long overdue! My husband and I had the wonderful Tiara officiate our wedding 04/20/2023, and she helped make our experience so enjoyable! Not only was she professional, but also compassionate, personable, and helped us with our vows when we were both too overwhelmed to speak. She gave our guests a beautiful explanation of our love for each other, and included a “couple therapy-esque” meeting to get to know us before the wedding, and ended in me having happy tears expressing my love towards my husband during such a stressful time. She gets a 10 out of 10 from us! Make sure you book her for your upcoming wedding!

The Resonant Officiant

  • Serves Parlin, NJ

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
Working with Kait, The Resonant Officiant, was one of the very best decisions we made for our wedding. From the very beginning she brought such warmth, openness, and fun energy to the process. We immediately felt comfortable with her, and that sense of ease carried through the entire weekend. She has a way of creating a safe, welcoming space where everyone feels included, and she does it with genuine kindness and a wonderful sense of humor. Kait guided us through the rehearsal dinner with so much confidence and calm, helping us and our families feel grounded and excited for what was to come. On the wedding day she delivered a ceremony that was beyond anything we could have imagined. Her words were personal and beautifully written, like poetry, and she told our story in a way that felt meaningful and authentic to us while also drawing in our guests. There was laughter, there were tears, and there was an overwhelming feeling of love in the room. She did not stop there. Kait also stepped in as the emcee for our reception, making transitions seamless and keeping the celebration flowing with warmth and joy. By the end of the weekend she did not just feel like our officiant, she truly felt like part of our family. Our guests could not stop raving about her, and so many people commented on how special and memorable the ceremony felt. We are endlessly grateful to Kait for the love and care she poured into our wedding. She made the entire experience unforgettable, and we know we will carry her words and presence with us forever. If you are considering The Resonant Officiant, we cannot recommend her enough!!

I’m Kesha Dionne. With nearly 20 years in the wedding industry, I’ve been part of countless celebrations—each unique, yet centered around one meaningful moment. Over time, I’ve come to understand that while details may vary, the ceremony is where everything truly comes together. As an ordained officiant, I create custom ceremonies with care, intention, and respect for the moment. I work closely with couples to understand their story so the ceremony reflects not just what they’ve planned—but who they are.

Kesha was absolutely amazing as our officiant! She truly made our wedding day feel so special, personal, and meaningful. From the moment the ceremony started, she brought such warmth, professionalism, and genuine care that made everything feel perfect. What really stood out to us was that her support didn’t just start and stop on the wedding day. Throughout the entire wedding planning process, Kesha was there for us every step of the way. She was supportive, responsive, reassuring, and always willing to help whenever we needed guidance or had questions. She genuinely cared about making sure our ceremony reflected us as a couple, and it showed. We are so grateful to have had Kesha be part of such an important moment in our lives.

We got married October 3rd 24 and struggled trying to find the right person to officiate our day until we came across Jackie and really cannot recommend her enough! From the moment we started chatting she was the utmost professional to every email, enquiry or worry we may have had she squashed easily. The communication was great from the off and I knew we made the right choice! We utilised the services of both Jackie and her husband the photographer Sascha Reinking with their All in One Package and it was the best decision we made for the day! She talked us through every process for the marriage license and met us for the appointment! Had recommendations on locations and great guidance on our vows and the ceremony which she performed so so beautifully! They took the weight and pressure off so much of the day and made it so easy. I implore everyone to reach out to her, and her husband Sascha, to discuss how they can make your day even more special. It truly worked for us and we met people who we loved being a part of our day!

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!

We focus on a couple-centered approach with custom scripts, while respecting all belief systems. We will create a beautiful ceremony together that truly reflects you as a couple.

Finding the right officiant for our wedding was a journey, especially as an LGBT couple. We wanted someone who truly understood us, not just a random person to perform the ceremony. When we met Carrie, we immediately knew she was the perfect fit! Carrie brought so much joy and thoughtfulness to our special day. Her speech was beautifully crafted, reflecting the essence of our relationship. During our pre-meeting, she really took the time to understand us as individuals and as a couple, ensuring that the ceremony felt personal and meaningful. I also want to mention that my wife and I aren't the best at keeping up with things, but Carrie kept us on track (without making us feel bad lol) and ensured we completed everything necessary for her to do her part. She even came for a rehearsal, making sure we all knew where to be and what to expect. Carrie brought her own personality to the event without overshadowing our special moments. It’s rare for guests to comment on an officiant, but we received so many compliments about Carrie! She truly made our wedding unforgettable. We can’t recommend her enough!

Led by Jillian Stella — a somatic healing guide with years of training in body-based practice and emotional regulation — every ceremony is designed so couples actually feel it while it's happening. The somatic work and the ceremony are one and the same: you arrive grounded, present, and inside the moment before a single word is spoken.

Jillian is truly one of a kind. Her thoughtfulness and attention to detail throughout the entire experience was unbelievable. The hour we spent with her changed our entire trip and the things that we learned are going to stay with us for a very, very long time.

I am Rabbi Nikki DeBlosi (she/her) (BA, MA, PhD). It is my passion and privilege to connect folks to the breadth and depth of Jewish tradition through inclusive, innovative, and insightful Jewish ritual. A tattooed, polyamorous, queer, suburban, stay-at-home parent, I was raised Catholic and converted to Judaism as an adult. I approach my work nonjudgmentally, and I know too many of us carry religious trauma. I want to make sure your wedding feels meaningful, relevant, and affirming. I'm an avid reader (especially romance), a fan of Buffy the Vampire Slayer, & a choral singer.

We had the privilege of working with Rabbi Nikki for our interfaith wedding ceremony, and we cannot recommend her highly enough. Nikki was organized and thoughtful about helping us structure a ceremony that felt true to both of our backgrounds while remaining accessible to all our guests. What really stood out was how she brought calm to the chaos leading up to the big day—she had prepared for every possible scenario so we felt completely covered no matter what happened. Nikki has a commanding presence and a beautiful voice that kept everyone engaged throughout the ceremony, and she made Judaism come alive for our non-Jewish family members in such a meaningful way that several of them said they only want to attend Jewish weddings from now on. Her collaborative approach meant we were true partners in creating something deeply personalized and insightful that reflected who we are as a couple. We're grateful for her guidance and creativity in making our day unforgettable!

I love working on weddings—a unique moment in couples' lives that I get to be a part of and help immortalize alongside them. Language often becomes a barrier, which is why I offer my services in Portuguese, English, and Spanish.

Nivea was the perfect choice for our wedding officiant. She communicated with us clearly throughout the planning process and created a ceremony that felt truly personal and meaningful to us. On our wedding day, we had a stressful moment when my husband realized he forgot the rings at home, but Nivea didn't hesitate to wait for us to get them. While we were waiting, she sat with me and talked me through my nerves, which helped me calm down so much. Her professionalism and genuine care made all the difference in making our day special. We are so grateful we chose Nivea to officiate our marriage.
