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. ♥

Yvonne listened intently as we shared our love story, and she beautifully wove it into a one-of-a-kind ceremony that left our guests feeling so connected to us. We are endlessly grateful to Yvonne - Blissful & Blessed Unions for making our special day even more meaningful and unforgettable. Truly, Yvonne, from the bottom of our heart- thank you! You made our day special that we will cherish forever.

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!

Tim Greathouse, the Ohio Wedding Officiant, was an absolute pleasure to work with. His communication was quick, easy, and always on time, making the process of planning our wedding ceremony seamless. The quality of his work was nothing short of perfection - he brought the perfect balance of humor and precision to our vows, making it feel like we had known him for years. We couldn't have asked for a better officiant, and we would highly recommend Tim Greathouse to any couple looking for an incredible wedding experience!!!

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!

Awarded Best of Zola
Having Evan officiate our wedding was one of the BEST decisions that we made during the wedding planning process. Conor and I settled on the Gold Wedding Service which included a fully customized ceremony that absolutely exceeded our and our guests expectations. Several guests asked if he was a personal friend of ours and almost EVERYONE we talked to commented on how our ceremony was beautiful, thoughtful, and personalized. We even had a few comments saying it was one of the best, most engaging ceremonies they have witnessed. From the moment we first met with Evan, he was incredibly professional and very clear that he was there for us, to help us plan the ceremony of our dreams. Meeting with him helped us remember that while all the details of a wedding are important, it is a day to celebrate our unique love story and lifelong commitment to each other. He was an incredibly grounding presence during the last weeks of planning (chaos), especially during the ceremony rehearsal. His years of experience were evident and helped us and our family to feel as prepared as anyone can be for one of the biggest moments of our lives. Additionally, he helped us, our maid of honor, and best man execute an absolutely FLAWLESS handfasting ceremony while reciting our vows. This was a dream come true for us and it was a highlight for us and our guests. We cannot say enough wonderful things about Evan. Our wedding ceremony will forever be one of the best moments of our lives. Absolutely outstanding. Thank you, Evan!

Most couples who work with me take their relationship seriously, but don't take themselves too seriously. I will be your guests' favorite thing about your wedding. Since 2011, I've been writing and performing personal, meaningful and refreshingly engaging ceremonies with smart couples. 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 ability to shape a story, an emcee's sense of timing, and experience at the most prestigious venues.

We love Chris! He was so incredibly genuine, kind, hilarious, and he knows how to handle a crowd. He was certainly born to be doing what he does. He spent months in communication with my husband and I making sure he knew us as a couple. I recently attended a wedding where the officiant mispronounced the brides name throughout the whole ceremony. Chris is the opposite of that. He’s going to know you and your story by the time he’s up there marrying you. And to top it all off, he dropped a wisdom bomb piece of advice on my husband and I, on the day of our wedding, that I think of often. I absolutely cannot recommend him enough!

A Portland native, and founder of EC Matrimony, Ernie has become an expert in all things weddings.

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.

He curated the most perfect ceremony and those words will echo to a lifetime. We were seen, heard and cared for in a way that only someone who truly loves working with couples can do. There was never any pressure or push - he let us call the shots and tied it all together in the most BEAUTIFUL ceremony delivery. Trust me - HIRE HIM.

We were going back and forth between having a family member or a professional officiate, and we eventually landed on Miriam. It truly felt like the best of both worlds because it feels as though we made a new friend in her. Miriam has such an warmth about her, and you can tell that they truly love connecting with couples to make each ceremony perfectly "them." They listened to all our ideas and created a ceremony that was so unique to us and full of little personal details. Miriam also coordinated and ran our rehearsal, which made the logistics feel so easy. On our wedding day (and even days after!), so many of our guests came up to us to say how beautiful the ceremony was and how much they loved it. We cannot recommend Miriam enough!

Lem always followed up with us and made sure we knew what we needed when it came to the marriage license, taking that stress off our plate. He also made sure the ceremony was exactly what we wanted it to be, changing anything we asked him to.

At Wed By Norm, I design wedding ceremonies that feel powerful, personal, and unforgettable. I’m Norman I. Graham, a professional wedding officiant trusted by couples across NY, NJ, CT, PA, RI, and destination locations who want their ceremony to be the moment everyone remembers. My signature strength is transforming your love story into a ceremony that feels authentic, intentional, and emotionally resonant for both you and the people who came to celebrate you. My role is to listen carefully, understand what matters most to you, and craft a ceremony that reflects your values, culture, humor, and connection.

Awarded Best of Zola
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.

Mr Lang was the leader and voice of our whole ceremony. His voice was loud, clear, and powerful. His loud, powerful voice commanded a presence throughout the whole ceremony. Before our ceremony we were able to meet with Mr Lang as well to go over options on how we could go about our ceremony. He also sent us the versions we went over to make any changes we wanted to. He was extremely easy to work with and also helped us through the whole process. Throughout our process leading up to the wedding there were some unforeseen circumstances that caused some changes the day before. Even with this happening Mr Lang was able to change everything up and even some decisions being made the day off and everything went on without any issues. I would fully recommend Mr Lang for any kind of ceremony. He will make your ceremony special and lead a ceremony that you will never forget.

I'm Rev. Dr. Jeff Saville, (call me Jeff) a retired Navy chaplain with 26 yrs military service and real church pastor (not just ordained online). I can lead a highly customized & personalized wedding ceremony at a winery, golf club, beach, on a military base or in a hot air balloon! Or if you just need to be quickly/legally married very inexpensively, I do that too! 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!

Without a doubt, Jeff was the best investment we made for our wedding and for our marriage. With Jeff we invested in our marriage with his premarital coaching. Wedding planning can be stressful, and this coaching and relationship homework kept our minds on what was truly important. We met regularly with Jeff via video calls, and he graciously welcomed us into his home for our first coaching session and later for a ceremony rehearsal. The mini-rehearsal was incredibly helpful! He even taught us “the dip” at the end of the aisle, which we practiced together leading up to our big day. On the wedding day, Jeff arrived early, dressed to impress in an outfit of our choosing, and led the most beautiful ceremony. Multiple guests told us it was the best wedding ceremony they had ever witnessed. Personally, I felt an overwhelming sense of calm and joy on the morning of our wedding—something I truly believe was made possible by Jeff’s preparation, guidance, and genuine care. We are forever grateful.

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!

Their communication style was very thorough, as they were in constant contact with us to ensure every detail of the ceremony was exactly as we preferred. The quality of their work and value was exceptional, as they demonstrated a detailed and sincere concern for making our special day perfect. We particularly appreciated how Sarah, our officiant, checked in with us frequently to understand our preferences and make sure the ceremony reflected our vision. Sarah was great to work with - she was very sincere and helped guide us through the process seamlessly. We highly recommend Koru Ceremony Llc to any couple looking for an officiant who will go above and beyond to make your wedding day unforgettable.

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 made our Nigerian elopement unforgettable. She took the time to understand our story and honored the memories of my late father and grandmother so beautifully. Her words were comforting, powerful, and meaningful. From our very first conversation she listened, really listened, to the details about how my husband and I met, the values we wanted to hold in our marriage, and the elements we hoped to include in the ceremony. I love how she even incorporated details that reflected my husband’s Nigerian roots. I’ve been to many weddings before, which are often long, drawn out, and not truly about the couple as they all tend to sound the same, but this ceremony was different. It was personal, heartfelt, and rich with the traditional elements of marriage. Emerald was very friendly, professional, and genuine throughout the entire process. I would gladly recommend her to anyone who wants a ceremony filled with meaning and authenticity.

We’ve known Sandy for years, and it was such a gift to have her officiate our wedding. From the start, she poured her heart into getting to know what mattered most to us and crafted a ceremony that was full of love and joy, and uniquely ours. Sandy guided us through the entire process with such ease, making everything stress-free and enjoyable. On our wedding day, she made us feel completely calm and ready. During the ceremony, Sandy spoke with such care and authenticity that the ceremony felt like a true reflection of me and my husband. Our guests still talk about how heartfelt and beautiful it was. Sandy doesn’t just perform a ceremony; she creates an experience that celebrates commitment, connection, and family. She is kind, thoughtful, and has a gift for making everyone feel seen and special.

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.
