Absolutely Outstanding Officiant – The Best I’ve Worked With! As both the mother of the groom and a wedding planner, I’ve worked with many officiants — and I can confidently say this one is the best I’ve encountered. He didn’t just read from a script; he spoke with warmth, authenticity, and a rhythm that was genuinely engaging. His tone was clear and inviting, and his ability to make the ceremony feel personal — even on the fly — was truly impressive. He was professionally dressed, effortlessly funny, and brought such a calming, familiar energy that it felt like we had known him forever. The ceremony was heartfelt, memorable, and exactly what every couple dreams of. He’s now my top recommendation for all my future couples — a true gem in this industry!

My region ranges from Asheville NC, Southwestern Virginia, through Morristown Tn, into Gatlinburg, then all the way into Knoxville Tn! By the time you've reached my page, you may have prepared yourself and have researched (or still are) to find the right Wedding Officiant. It's my professional job to make your wedding as stress free as possible. I enjoy adventure elopements and large elegant weddings. When you decide to hire a Pro, you probably want someone with empathy that understands what you're looking for. Your ceremony will be thoughtfully created and not boring.

Joshua Maples Wedding Officiant was the perfect choice for our wedding ceremony. From the moment we first spoke with him, his communication style was responsive, clear, friendly and even humorous at times, putting us completely at ease. The quality of his work and the value he provided was truly invaluable - he was like the Chick-fil-A of all officiants, delivering a Hallmark-worthy performance. Joshua went above and beyond, rehearsing and coordinating the entire event seamlessly. He even took us out for beautiful golden hour sunset photos, assisted with when to cut the cake and the dancing, and even stepped in as our DJ and poured the champagne. Joshua also helped us obtain our marriage license and is returning it for us since our wedding was on a short weekend. We didn't just get the officiant we wanted, we got the one we needed. I would book Joshua Maples 1 million percent for any wedding ceremony.

If you are on the hunt for a wedding officiant that specializes in custom-made wedding ceremonies and premarital coaching (aka “premarital counseling”), then you've come to the right place!

Awarded Best of Zola
Chance was the perfect combination of professional, fun, heartwarming, and hilarious. He made us feel comfortable and, most importantly, heard throughout the entire process. We had a wonderful pre-marriage counseling session, diving deep into our own and our partner’s personality traits and love languages. It was super insightful, even though we had already been together for five years. Furthermore, the ceremony itself was PERFECT! His poem opened with warmth and love, setting the stage for us to share our own vows. Chance also graciously agreed to my “being extra” request of burning sage and placing crystals on the ceremonial table. He wrapped it up (literally) with a handfasting ceremony before sending us off into the world as husband and wife. We absolutely loved Chance—wouldn’t have it any other way. Have one call with him, and you’ll know you made the right choice. P.S. Yes—Chance 100% knew to step out of the way for the first kiss, so it’s not in the camera shot.

Ralph was incredible. He was extremely responsive and communicative. He had a wedding ceremony outline that we were able to edit as we like. He also offered a marriage counseling program. During the ceremony, he barely looked down at the ceremony script and spoke to our family and friends so confidently.
