About The Modern Officiant

The Modern Officiant

Atlanta’s Favorite Officiant

Hello! I'm Jemelle Wooten, The Modern Officiant. As an ordained minister and licensed officiant since 2016, I specialize in non-traditional and LGBTQ+ weddings. My passion for Marriage Equality, born from my own wedding experience, drives me to create joyful, inclusive ceremonies for all loving couples, especially those needing extra support. Beyond officiating, I'm also a certified Premarital Counseling Facilitator and Relationship Coach, committed to helping couples build and sustain strong lasting marriages.

What truly sets me apart is my 9+ years of officiating experience combined with my expertise as a certified Premarital Counseling Facilitator and Relationship Coach. This unique blend allows me to not only officiate your wedding but also provide genuine understanding, advocacy for your love story, and guidance to help you build a strong, lasting future together.

In three words: Calm, Confident, Fun

Jemelle made our big day incredibly special! From our first meeting, we knew she was the right person for our small, casual wedding. Leading up to the wedding she worked with us to get a feel for the type of ceremony we wanted and to answer our questions. She crafted a beautiful ceremony that perfectly reflected our relationship and captured exactly who we are. Everyone was moved by her touching words! Jemelle will absolutely make your special day extra special!
