Emerald Elegance Ceremonies 
Rating: 5.0 (16 reviews)
  • Offers 10 ceremony types
  • Starts at $400
  • Serves Philadelphia, PA

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!

“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!”

The Vibe & The Vows 
Rating: 5.0 (7 reviews)
Philadelphia, PA
  • Offers 9 ceremony types
  • Starts at $495

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.

“From our first conversation, we knew Kesha from The Vibe & The Vows was going to be the perfect fit for our elopement. She had such a caring and warm approach to everything, asking thoughtful questions to understand what mattered to us and making sure our ceremony felt truly personal. Kesha nailed every detail—from the placement of where we stood to the exact words she used—and it was clear she put real intention into crafting our moment. On the day itself, she was an absolute godsend, keeping everything flowing smoothly and bringing this fun, charismatic energy that made us feel completely at ease. Even though we chose an intimate elopement instead of a traditional wedding, Kesha made it feel just as special and meaningful as any big celebration. We wouldn't change a thing about how she helped us say our vows.”

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.

“One of the best services I've ever hired (and best for this industry!) Tiara is such a wonderful professional that really changed my opinions on such services. Her lavish hospitality for her Royal Treatment will make you feel like you're truly Royalty! (Granted you are of your own life, but this service is top tier!) I was skeptical at first and adding another cost on a wedding can feel overwhelming at times, but I truly felt Royal Treatment with Tiara was worth every penny and more! She took us through a process where she really got to know us as a couple, as individuals, and listened attentively to the details of our wedding vision. We could tell right away that she actually cared and was thankful to be chosen by us and to work together. And as she went through her process... we went through some of our favorite moments, and in some ways, fell in love with our love all over again. During wedding planning that love is surely there as we all know, but Tiara has a gift of bringing us back to the best of us and really getting you into those loving positive feelings. It was really cool! Then with the ceremony and planning phases, Tiara was so knowledgable and resourceful. She really could pick up what we were putting down, having a traditional ceremony with a more spiritual feel. She was also versed in all the religious traditions in our area which was really cool; knowledgable and reliable. She knew what we wanted, which made it easier to plan and talk through as we refined it to our exact wishes. Tiara responded quickly, in detail, and helped resolve any small things we asked her help with. She had a wonderful schedule for us to check in and follow through with that made our day of seamless. Our event coordinators and on site coordinators gave very favorable remarks and loved working with her too. The Royal Treatment was easy to work with other vendors. All with a smile and genuine pleasant attitude. Tiara is a wonderful soul and my wife and I truly am so grateful to her and her services. We weren't quite sure what to expect and thought it would be a pre-scripted thing and "oh this money for that", but once we experienced her as a vendor, we may go as far to say she undercharges! Because it was that meaningful, impactful, and such a joy. My wedding day was the happiest moment of my life and it's partly due to how great the Royal Treatment with Tiara is! We we're not disappointed and 100% would recommend her to anyone who needs an officiant. If you're reading this from another part of the world, I would also recommend flying her out; you're day will be so special if you do and you won't regret it one bit! Thank you so much Tiara, and Royal Treatment for witnessing us Tie Our Knot! May everyone who needs you, find you, and get to lavish in your wonderful experience!”

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.

Their excitement for our unique style fed into us and I feel made the day even more special. I really enjoyed how my wife and I's answers to the questionnaire were incorporated into the ceremony script, it added such a personal touch. I cried reading through all of the script drafts. Both ladies were so lovely to work with and we had several calls together to make sure all the unique details we wanted were incorporated. We were not able to schedule time to physically practice the handfasting, but I could tell that Jenny had studied the video we referenced and everything went smoothly.

Born from my own real wedding day washed in rain, April Showers Events is built on one simple truth: when the unexpected occurs, the real magic happens. As a mother, daughter, wife and sister I know the importance of celebrating big moments. I also know the value of having reliable help to ensure that the party you've planned is also one that you get to enjoy. I am a storyteller at heart and find event coordination a most delightful medium - for all celebrations tell someone's story, be it the beginning, middle or end. My passion is discovering the best way to tell yours.

“Dana became our wedding coordinator last minute after we had a negative experience with another coordinator, and we couldn't be happier that we ended up with her! She got to work right away catching up on all the details quickly and had such a positive attitude the entire process despite the last minute rush. We had a huge wedding party, and Dana was able to help us through the challenge of rehearsing the ceremony with them when our venue wasn't available the night prior, and made sure everyone was where they need to be the day of. She was the perfect mix of professional, positive and bubbly to make sure that everything went smoothly but also didn't feel stressful! She was always available when we needed her and she went above and beyond when working with our vendors to ensure all dots were connected. We loved working with Dana and couldn't recommend her more to make your day seamless and stress free. She is the best, and we consider her a friend after working with her!”
