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. ♥

Blissful & Blessed Unions was the perfect choice for our wedding officiant. From our very first conversation, the communication was quick, thorough, and felt like she was in my mind, understanding exactly what I wanted. On the day of, her words were truly moving and heartfelt, perfectly on point with the theme and vision for our ceremony. She streamlined the entire process, handled any needy guests, and kept the timeline flowing seamlessly. Yvonne truly connected with me early on and felt like family through the entire process, making our special day that much more meaningful. I would highly recommend her to any couple looking for an officiant who will go above and beyond.

Tim Greathouse, Ohio Wedding Officiant 

5.0

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 was GREAT to work with. That hair! That website! Need I say more? Tim had the best ceremony planned for us and executed it perfectly. We are just super happy we went with him - he got back to us right away and was flexible when we hadn't decided on all the details yet. Tim is fun, kind, and, knew when to pop out of the way for pics and when to stay in them. Lol! We highly recommend him to any couple looking for an amazing wedding officiant!

I cannot say enough amazing things about Chris!! He came super highly recommended by our planner so we felt lucky to be able to book him for our date. From the first meeting, Chris was engaging and fun, yet professional and had a clear process that he explained to us. That process, included questions that dove deep into our relationship and love story and was extremely fun for us to complete. As I look back, his process feels like a super special part of the planning process. Then came wedding day…. Chris was phenomenal!!! The ceremony was so fun and exactly our vibe. He involved our guests the perfect amount and the ceremony felt so special and exactly what we wanted. Multiple guests raved about him, but beyond that, told me they got a chance to talk with him afterwards which I thought was so special that he stayed and engaged with guests. I would rate him more than five stars if I could, book Chris Shelley!!!

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!

A Portland native, and founder of EC Matrimony, Ernie has become an expert in all things weddings. Having recently stepped away from a career in Marketing/Public Relations, Ernie has taken his business from part-time to full-time in 2021 to help more couples realize their wedding dreams. Throughout his 18 years in the industry, and having performed over 3,000 weddings, it’s easy to see why he’s been featured in bridal magazines, national IG posts, and been featured in Huffington Post twice, and on realty TV. 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.

We hired EC Matrimony for our wedding, and Ernie was our officiant. He was absolutely wonderful. If I had to do the day all over again, I would hire him without hesitation. Ernie was on time, professional, calm, and a huge help throughout the entire process. From the start, he made everything feel seamless and easy, which took so much stress off of us during wedding planning. On the day of the wedding, he was organized, confident, and helped guide us through everything so smoothly. You can tell he truly cares about what he does and about the couples he works with. We are so grateful he was part of our day and would highly recommend EC Matrimony and Ernie to anyone looking for an officiant. -Anna & Sebastian

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!

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've known Kim for a long time. I saw when her business started and how it's grown into something so beautiful that has blossomed and helps people. She puts her heart and professionalism into every ceremony she performs. No two ceremonies are alike because the couples and their stories are different and personal to them. My husband and I were Kim's 100th couple that she married. It's so amazing that she's almost married 250 couples by now!!! We were so happy and honored to have her write and lead our ceremony. Our ceremony was very intimate with my husband, myself, our young children, and Kim. This was the second marriage for the both of us. It was in a private and beautiful place that we chose that was special to us and our story. Kim met us there. Kim gets to know the couple getting married, the story of how they met, and what they want to include in their ceremony. If you need help with ideas she has a wealth of resources to help you get exactly what you want for your most special day. She's led many little and big ceremonies. We're so thankful for Kim and Fanciful Hearts Wedding Ceremonies. We wouldn't have wanted anyone else to marry us. We highly recommend them. Thank you.

We cannot express enough how grateful we are to have had April as our wedding officiant! From our very first conversation, it was clear that she was not just a professional, but someone who genuinely cared about making our day special. Her attention to detail and organization were evident throughout the entire planning process. April was always available for a phone call whenever we had questions or needed guidance, making us feel supported every step of the way. She took the time to ensure that every word spoken during our ceremony was exactly what we wanted, and her thoughtful approach made our vows feel deeply personal and meaningful. On the day of the wedding, April arrived early to coordinate with the other vendors, which helped everything run smoothly. Her expertise and good advice for the flow of the ceremony were invaluable, and it was clear she had everything under control. By the end of the night, April felt like family to us. Her warmth and genuine spirit added so much to our special day. We wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone looking for an officiant who is not only skilled but also truly invested in making your wedding day unforgettable. Thank you, April, for everything! You made our ceremony a beautiful and memorable experience that we will cherish forever.

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!

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!

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.
