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 is the BEST!! From the start she was a breath of fresh air- and literally a weight off my shoulders. I felt so confident after choosing her. We had a couple calls before the wedding day and she made the most special, personal ceremony speech (I’m not sure what it’s called lol). But, she shared our story and made it so personal- it was unlike any other officiant I have ever seen at other weddings. Officiants matter!! She set the tone for the day and was there with us for our special moment. We got tons of compliments about her from our guests - asking how we knew her! 10/10 and 5 stars for Yvonne thank you so much.

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 a pleasure to work with from start to finish. He was quick to respond to all of our questions and emails, making the planning process easy and stress-free. On the day of our wedding, Tim's warm and calming presence helped us feel relaxed and present in the moment. He delivered a heartfelt and personalized ceremony that truly made our day feel special and unique. Tim's professionalism and attention to detail ensured that our wedding ceremony went off without a hitch. We highly recommend Tim Greathouse to any couple looking for an officiant who will make their wedding day unforgettable.

Evan was absolutely amazing to work with. From the start, he asked thoughtful and detailed questions to understand exactly what we expected from him and the kind of ceremony we wanted. He was attentive, professional, and made us feel completely confident leading up to the big day. On our wedding day, he met every expectation we had — and truly exceeded them. He created the perfect balance of emotion and joy, making us laugh and bringing happy tears to our eyes. Our guests were fully engaged, and so many people came up to us afterward to tell us how impressed they were by him. If you’re looking for an officiant who listens, delivers, and goes above and beyond, Evan is an excellent choice. We couldn’t recommend him more.

Flushing, NY

Most couples who work with me take their relationship seriously, but don't take themselves too seriously. They're educated, do Wordle, read the NY Times and have a healthy sense of reality. Since 2011, I've been writing and performing personal, meaningful and refreshingly engaging ceremonies. 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 knack for shaping a story, an emcee's sense of timing, and experience at the most prestigious venues. My BFA in Acting (Boston University) and MFA in Creative Writing (NYU) serve me well.

From the moment we first spoke with Chris from Illuminating Ceremonies, we knew we were in good hands. His communication style was positive, funny, and caring, putting us at ease right away. On the day of our wedding, Chris was reliable, thoughtful, and enthusiastic, ensuring the ceremony was clear and professional. He made us laugh and feel completely comfortable, and we truly felt like he was part of our family rather than just the officiant. Chris went above and beyond to make our special day perfect, and we are so grateful we chose him to be a part of our wedding. We couldn't imagine our experience without him.

Hi! I’m Danny! A wedding officiant who believes your ceremony should be the heart of your wedding day — personal, joyful, and true to your love story. Whether you’re dreaming of a meaningful, story-driven ceremony, something short & sweet, or a little in between — I’m here to guide you, support you, and create a ceremony you’ll remember forever.

Awarded Best of Zola
I found Danny on Instagram while watching a clip of him officiating another wedding. I started scrolling through his page and was instantly drawn in. His feed was full of funny and relatable memes, like making sure to run out of the way for the first kiss photo, and that your guests should enjoy your wedding verses preparing for it. It was clear from his posts that he’s interactive with couples and tailors each ceremony to their unique style. Danny was the perfect fit for our October 11th wedding. Most of our guests were from Chicago and spoke only English, while some of our family members spoke only Spanish. As the bride, I speak only English, so I asked Danny if he could do the ceremony mostly in English & simply add a "splash" of Spanish to make everyone feel included. He didn’t hesitate, he made it happen beautifully. From the moment I reached out, Danny made me feel comfortable. He ensured my fiancé was on board, explained the entire process clearly, and took the time to learn about our love story. He even asked if we wanted specific Bible scriptures, and had some beautiful ones ready in case we didn’t. Danny took all the guesswork out of planning the ceremony. On the day of, he came fully prepared and delivered a flawless experience. At one point, we thought it might rain and had to consider switching to a shorter 10-minute version of the ceremony (originally planned for 30 minutes). Danny reassured us it would be no problem. Thankfully, the weather held up but his flexibility and professionalism were so appreciated. Danny, thank you for making our day so special!

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 had John be our officiant on June 28th, 2025 and we wouldn’t have it any other way! We met a couple times via video call to discuss the next steps. He was very respectful and thoughtful of who we were as a couple and John spent time writing a few different scripts for us to work off of for the ceremony (thank goodness, because I had no idea where to start) and we could tweak it however we liked. It was perfect. He is a lovely person to be around! Overall, working with EC Matrimony was a breeze and made the wedding planning so much easier.

David was absolutely amazing, and we truly could not have had a better experience. We did not start looking for officiants as early as the other vendors, and I was feeling a bit stressed about it, but David made the process as easy and seamless as possible. He worked with us leading up to the event to make sure that the ceremony felt like us and was happy to make any adjustments we wanted even right up to the event. We really appreciated that we could be as much or little involved in the details of the ceremony as we wanted. The ceremony was beautiful - not only did we think David was amazing, but we got so many compliments from our guests as well (and he also took care of all the paperwork which was very much appreciated so we could focus on all the other important things). We feel so fortunate that we chose to work with David for our wedding - could not recommend him enough.

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!

Jeff can be described in one word. Outstanding! We originally went with Jeff since he is a retired Navy Chaplain, as a Marine that was an instant pro fro me but he also; helped and made the process of planning the wedding from the opposite of the country easy with video calls, while still making time to meet us prior to the wedding to get face to face time as well as run a walk through of our wedding day. He was also able to do a good portion of the ceremony in Spanish to help my in-laws understand what was happening and make them included in the ceremony. He helped us plan out for amazing pictures of the ceremony down to what he would wear. He coached up the bridal party on their roll in the ceremony so everything went smooth. The only negative thing I can say about Jeff is; well I didn't get to spend more time with him! He is amazing and funny and I genuinely cannot recommend him enough. If you're looking to add the perfect Pastor/Officiant for your perfect day Jeff is an easy inclusion.

Pat was so personable and bubbly during our first meet, my husband and I knew the second we hung up on the Zoom meeting that we were going to hire her.

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 was absolutely amazing for our wedding. Not only did she make our vision of a perfect ceremony come true, she added to it, making our special day a dream! The customization of our ceremony and the attention to detail was truly special. Including our guests in the ceremony and the annunciation of every word, with not one mishap, was truly appreciated. Most of all her communication was excellent and she treated us like family--caring for our personal mental space (outside of the ceremony). Her professionalism is top tier. Emerald worked at the highest level, and if I didnt plan to be married only this one time, I'd I'd use her again!

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. Our ceremony is one of our favorite memories from our wedding day, and Sandy made that possible. If you are looking for an officiant who will make your wedding day unforgettable, Sandy is the one. We are forever grateful she was part of ours.

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.
