My husband and I got married this past weekend, and one of the most frequent compliments we received from our guests was how wonderful our ceremony was. Bobbie made sure it was short, sweet, and to the point—exactly what we were hoping for. I’ve always dreaded long ceremonies with monotone officiants, but Bobbie was engaging, warm, and playful, and truly captured our story perfectly. Our wedding could not have started on a better note.

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!

Jaclyn was the best and a true lifesaver! She’s apart of an officiant group and our original officiant got stuck at an earlier wedding and Jaclyn miraculously made it to our location, from another wedding, minutes before our ceremony was supposed to start! She read the script that the original officiant had written but you would’ve have never known that this was her first time reading it! She captured our vibe, heartfelt but laid back, perfectly. She was professional with the perfect touch of humor. Our guests loved her energy. Cannot recommend her more. Thank you Jaclyn for being apart of our special day!

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
We knew right away that Kaitlin from The Resonant Officiant was the right fit for our ceremony. She responded to every question we had quickly and understood what we needed without us having to explain ourselves over and over. On our wedding day, she was patient with all the photos we took and didn't rush us through a single moment. Kaitlin had also picked a bible verse that was so beautiful and spoke directly to our relationship. Her work was straightforward but powerful, and she brought real heart to our vows. We couldn't have asked for a better officiant to marry us.

We also had Love & Laughter Weddings officiate our ceremony, in addition to having them be our full planners for our multi day destination wedding and I truly couldn’t imagine our wedding without them. From the start, they made the ceremony process feel so personal and intentional. They took the time to learn about our story, what mattered most to us, and the kind of atmosphere we wanted our ceremony to have. We really didn’t want something that felt generic or scripted, and they created a ceremony that felt completely authentic to us. It was heartfelt, warm, and perfectly balanced... emotional in all the right moments but still light and joyful. Several of our guests told us afterward that it was one of the most meaningful ceremonies they had attended and asked if we were longtime friends because of how personal and meaningful it felt. On the wedding day everything felt calm and natural. Our officiant guided us through the ceremony with such warmth and confidence that it immediately put us at ease. Standing there in that moment felt incredibly special and we’re so grateful for how beautifully they helped bring it all together. They also handled all the legal paperwork and made that part of the process completely stress free, which was such a relief during such a busy time. If you’re looking for an officiant who will truly take the time to make your ceremony feel personal and memorable, I can’t recommend Love & Laughter Weddings enough! It was one of the most meaningful parts of our entire wedding weekend.

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!

As a pastor, he delivered the ceremony perfectly and ensured everything went smoothly, even driving a little out of his normal travel zone to arrive early and have a quick review beforehand. Michael is a very good Christian man who really listened to what we wanted and then executed it flawlessly. His services were also provided at a reasonable price, making him an outstanding value. We couldn't have asked for a better officiant to be a part of our wedding.

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!

If I don't respond quickly, please reach out to Embodied Union Ceremonies on Facebook. Embodied Union Ceremonies offers wedding and vow renewal ceremonies in New York and Puerto Rico. 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.

We can’t recommend Jillian enough as a wedding officiant. From our very first conversation, she was incredibly thoughtful and took the time to truly get to know us as a couple, which meant so much. We chose to do her full Unfurling package, and it was one of the best decisions we made. One aspect that really stood out was the somatic stress release session before the ceremony. It was something we had never even heard of before, but it made all the difference—it helped us feel grounded, present, and deeply connected in a way we didn’t realize we needed going into the ceremony. The ceremony she created was absolutely beautiful—personal, heartfelt, and perfectly reflective of our story. She also integrated somatic elements into the ceremony itself, which made the experience feel even more intentional and special. So many of our guests commented on how meaningful and unique it was. Jillian brought such a calm, warm, and reassuring presence throughout the entire process. She guided us every step of the way and made everything feel easy and stress-free, allowing us to fully be present and enjoy our day. If you’re looking for someone who is caring, professional, and truly amazing at what they do, Jillian is the perfect choice. We feel so lucky to have had her as part of our wedding.

No one wants to see a wedding ceremony they’ve seen a dozen times! We blend words, experiences, and emotions into a beautifully crafted ceremony expressing you perfectly. It will be funny. It will be moving. Close to perfect; far from boring! It will be a little unexpected and perhaps a little traditional, but it will be totally you.

Celia Milton is truly the most incredible person you could have by your side on your wedding day. From the very beginning, she made us feel completely at ease, and it quickly became clear that she was so much more than just an officiant, she was our guide, our storyteller, and the person who brought the heart of our ceremony to life. Honestly, without her, our day would not have felt nearly as personal or profound; her presence and words were absolutely priceless and worth every single moment of planning. Her professionalism, warmth, and attention to detail are unmatched. From our first meeting, she took the time to get to know us, to understand our story, and to reflect our values and personalities in a ceremony that felt completely and uniquely ours. She crafted something so thoughtful and intentional, and delivered it with such grace and joy, that it felt like we were being married by someone who had known us for years. Guests are still telling us how beautiful and meaningful the ceremony was; how it struck the perfect balance of heartfelt, humorous, and deeply genuine. Celia had everyone engaged, laughing, and even tearing up, and somehow made the entire room feel connected. It didn’t feel like a script; it felt like a celebration of us. What truly sets Celia apart is how deeply she cares about every couple. We trusted her completely, and that trust was met with such compassion, creativity, and a sense of calm that anchored the entire day. Even amidst all the moving parts of a wedding, it was Celia who set the tone, making everything feel intentional, joyful, and full of love. Choosing Celia Milton wasn’t just about hiring an officiant, it was about inviting someone into one of the most meaningful moments of our lives, and having her elevate it in every possible way. She is extraordinary, both as a professional and as a person, and we cannot recommend her enough. If you’re considering her, DO IT! She will give you a ceremony you’ll never forget.
