Shepherdstown, WV
  • Offers 10 ceremony types
  • Serves West Virginia

I am Holland, a wedding officiant based in West Virginia who serves couples all along the East Coast. I create custom ceremonies that feel true to who you are. Whether you are eloping in the woods or planning an wedding surrounded by all of your loved ones, I bring a calm and caring presence to your day. With over one hundred weddings of experience, I offer full support, thoughtful planning, and meaningful words that reflect your story and your values.

Summit Weddings & Elopements were an exceptional choice for our wedding officiant. From the very beginning, their communication style was honest, realistic, and showed true integrity. The value and quality of their work was amazing - they went the extra mile to ensure our special day was perfect. For example, they helped us find a hairdresser for our remote location and handled the inclement weather at our outdoor venue with great grace and professionalism. The officiant, Holland Hook, is a truly inspired individual who made the wedding prep and planning process seamless. Our photos were of exceptional quality, and everything Summit Weddings & Elopements touched made our day absolutely perfect and memorable. We couldn't have asked for a better team to officiate our wedding.

Tim Greathouse, Ohio Wedding Officiant 
Rating: 5.0 (61 reviews)
Canton, OH
  • Offers 10 ceremony types
  • Starts at $150
  • Serves West Virginia

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!

“How long have you known Tim?” Since we got married, this has quickly become one of the most common questions from friends and family. The honest answer is just under a year. In that time we had a couple of phone calls, a handful of texts and emails, and most importantly his questionnaire. And somehow, that was all Tim needed to write the perfect ceremony for us. Our ceremony was so personal and so perfectly "us" that we couldn’t stop talking about it for weeks afterward. If most of your experience with weddings has been religious weddings, it can be difficult to envision what a non-religious wedding ceremony can look like. Tim's process and questionnaire are structured so that you can take the time to think through and decide what you do and don't want for your ceremony. There's zero pressure to do things "because it's tradition", and he's conscientious to ask how you want to be introduced. We took our time filling out the questionnaire and researching readings, and it ended up being one of our favorite parts of planning the wedding. Tim is LGBTQIA friendly, open to skipping any traditions you don’t want, and excited to help make something new and fresh if that’s your vision. He has such a warm, affable, calming presence on the day of the wedding that puts everyone at ease. We can’t recommend him enough, and we’ll keep telling anyone who asks: hire Tim as your officiant!

Phenomenal & Family-Making Officiant: Pastor Carla Our wedding ceremony in July 2025 was made absolutely incredible thanks to Pastor Carla. Her performance as an officiant was nothing short of phenomenal. From the moment we started planning, every interaction with Pastor Carla showed how supportive, respectful, caring, and helpful she is. She brings a beautiful presence and constant smile that is both calming and infectious. We especially appreciated her dedication, as she was willing to travel for our event. The entire process was refreshingly affordable and straightforward, eliminating any unnecessary stress. By the end of the ceremony, we truly felt like we hadn't just hired an officiant, but had genuinely made her family. We recommend Pastor Carla over a thousand times—she is a treasure!

We are beyond thrilled to have found Your Wedding Officiant! Working with Reverend Dennis was nothing short of a dream. From the very beginning, he was organized, communicative, and incredibly thoughtful, but beyond all of that, he was simply a joy to be around. His passion for what he does is evident in every interaction and every detail of the ceremony. One of our favorite parts of the entire wedding process was collaborating with Rev. Dennis to create a ceremony that felt truly personal and meaningful. He took the time to understand our story, our values, and what mattered most to us, and then helped shape a ceremony that reflected exactly that. Rev. Dennis guided us with care, insight, and genuine warmth from start to finish. We are so grateful to have had him be such a special part of our day. It wouldn’t have been the same without him!

Sarah started an event/wedding planning business in 2024. Since then she has become a certified civil celebrant for the state of Virginia in 2025. Sarah made this decision because she wanted to be able to support couples in multiple ways during this process.

Awarded Best of Zola
We can't say enough good things about Sarah from I Got A Love Jones Events. From our first conversation, she was responsive and caring, making sure every detail was handled with precision—from finalizing our ceremony script to taking care of all the paperwork so we didn't have to worry. One of our favorite touches was when she wrote a personalized poem for our ceremony that truly captured our story and set the perfect tone for the day. Sarah also went above and beyond by wearing floral attire since we had asked for it, showing how much she cared about being part of our vision. Her work felt genuine and thoughtful, and she was clearly focused on making our wedding feel special and stress-free. We'd recommend her in a heartbeat to any couple looking for a planner who actually listens and delivers.

Jeremy’s process is intentionally thoughtful and collaborative.

Jeremy is licensed to officiate weddings in Virginia, Maryland, and Washington, DC, and serves a limited number of weddings each year to ensure each ceremony receives the time and care it deserves.

Jeremy did an outstanding job officiating! During the ceremony, he was confident, well-spoken, and timely (which was great since it was so hot!). His speaking style was clear, warm, and natural - he is very comfortable in front of a crowd. He made the experience feel so meaningful, and it was clear he had taken the time to prepare and personalize the message. Several of the guests commented on what a great job he did. I would absolutely recommend him to any couple looking for an officiant!

Are you looking for a bespoke marriage ceremony that is crafted for you? Whether secular or religious, I'll approach your ceremony with the reverence it deserves. I care deeply about the meaning of ritual, and will ensure that each detail reflects your needs. As an ordained minster via the Universal Life Church, I'm a strong believer in religious pluralism and shall tailor a unique ceremony to honor your tradition(s). I am also happy to perform interfaith ceremonies. I don't discriminate when it comes to sexuality and gender expression. Whether gay, straight, queer, trans, bi, pan, or poly, I will officiate your wedding with joy!

Elliott was the officiant for a wedding I attended in NYC in February 2026. The service was written in conjunction with the grooms so that their personalities shone through. Everyone in attendance could get a sense of who they were and what they meant to each other, regardless of how involved you had been in their relationship before. It felt like the ceremony was in good hands, and Elliott was flexible with any small issues that arose from sound equipment or last-minute adjustments. I would recommend letting him steward your love through its next beautiful stage.

Gemma was absolutely wonderful to work with as our wedding officiant! From the very beginning, she was so attentive to my wishes and made sure every detail felt personal and meaningful. She really took the time to understand what we wanted, and that care showed through in every part of the ceremony…even down to getting it finished and us pronounced right at 11:11! I think we had 30 seconds to go but she did her best to listen to my wishes! It was such a bonus that she also did photos for us—she captured beautiful moments that we’ll treasure forever. If you’re looking for someone warm, professional, and truly invested in making your day special, I highly recommend Gemma!
