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.

We are so happy Danny was our officiant for our wedding. From when we first spoke to Danny about booking him for our wedding we knew we made a great choice. Danny alone has an amazing upbeat friendly personality. My husband and I didn't want a boring officiant or with a monotone delivery. When the wedding date came closer we had a zoom meeting with Danny and talked about how my husband and I met, and the vibe we wanted for the wedding. Now let me tell you, I don't know how I didn't shed a tear during our ceremony, because Danny's words were so heartfelt. I honestly wish I would go back in the time to relive my ceremony. Thank you so much Danny for everything! You are truly the best out there. Please do not hesistate to book Danny for your wedding!

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. ♥

We are so pleased with our decision to have Yvonne officiate our wedding! From our first meeting, she greeted us with such bubbly enthusiasm that we felt an instant connection. She took the time to learn about our love story. Her sweet and compassionate nature truly showed as she guided us through the vows, making both us and our guests feel at ease. We received so many compliments on how personal and heartfelt the ceremony was. Yvonne was incredibly helpful throughout the planning process, answering all our questions and checking in with us. We highly recommend her to anyone looking for a joyful and memorable wedding experience!

Let's Get Married! was absolutely wonderful to work with for our wedding ceremony. From the very first interaction, the officiant was extremely responsive and quick to reply to all of our questions. We only had a few days to get married when I got the ship out date, and she was able to make it work seamlessly, providing everything we needed to make our special day perfect. The officiant was so nice and didn't push her own ideas, but rather made great suggestions that fit our vision. As a military couple, we really appreciated how excited she was to make our wedding day truly special. Overall, the officiant's knowledge and professionalism were top-notch, and we couldn't have asked for a better experience.

We recently got married in Central Park’s Cop Cot and Alex was our officiant. He was outstanding! He crafted a beautiful message that was heartfelt, poignant and humorous in all the right places. And his delivery? Oh, my goodness! It was pitch-perfect! He barely glanced at his notes but rather spoke to us and to the crowd. It was like we were old friends or longtime congregants and he a pastor/priest at a church. However, we were not surprised. We could see being friends with Alex under ordinary circumstances. Both my husband and I were touched by his words, and several guests remarked on how wonderful he was. Thank you, Alex, for making our wedding day so special!

Terence Ward, the founder of Weddings in the Gunks, believes that everyone deserves to have this important moment in their story celebrated with a healthy mix of dignity and joy. Exactly what's in that mix is more up to the clients than anybody else. It can include sacred religious moments like blessing the couple or fasting their hands, science fiction elements like a Bajoran blessing, time-honored traditions such as breaking a glass, and remembering loved ones who are no longer with us.

Terence is fabulous! My husband and I got married with a surprise elopement on New Year's Eve in 2021, and Terence acted with such professionalism and discretion (which was appreciated, hence the surprise). Planning/coordinating was easy - he was quick to communicate with/respond to us about details regarding the ceremony, which was wildly helpful, as we planned our elopement just 1 month in advance! My husband and I were very nervous before our ceremony, and Terence's warm, friendly demeanor helped us feel more comfortable and at ease. I would definitely recommend Terence's officiant services to other couples. Whether you're planning a traditional ceremony or a simple elopement, he'll do a great job for you!

Thinking about having your good friend officiate your big day for you, but unsure of how they will do? Well what if your good friend was a professional with over 2,300 weddings under their belt? That's the best way to describe what we shoot for at MBE ... being the good friend that definitely knows what to do when the moment counts! Whether you plan to have an intimate elopement ceremony or if you've been working on your dream wedding for months, we'd love to help you make your day one to truly remember. Our goals are to help you decide exactly what you want to do on your big day and to do everything we can to make it come to life!

Like most folks we spent some time researching who we wanted to help us “make it official” on our big day. We could not have been any happier with our choice to have Evan be our Officiant. Evan was terrific to work with. He was professional and very personable. Evan took the time to get to know us as a couple, and our back story and put together a wonderful ceremony that was meaningful for us. Leading up to the day we had a few “curve balls” thrown at us with regards to location and timing and Evan was understanding and flexible. After the ceremony a number of our guests commented on how they thought the ceremony was right on point. Thanks Evan for helping us “make it official”!!

I also write custom scripts for first-time officiants. Whether you're planning a small gathering or a big celebration, I offer traditional or modern ceremonies for all couples.

When my husband and I spontaneously decided to get married this Halloween, we could not have predicted how beautiful it would be- and we have Cathy to thank.

Cathy is highly skilled, competent, friendly, communicative, and above all else, she will go above and beyond to make sure your ceremony is PERFECT. You can not go wrong if you chose her for your special day, for anything from completely traditional, or, if you’re like us, completely non-traditional and unique.

My name is Julie and I am happy to have officiated over 200 weddings, all over the United States, in the past 15 years. I have a casual and uplifting style. My goal is to make my couples feel comfortable and craft a ceremony for them that reflects their relationship. I am happy to accommodate any of my couple’s wishes. I write all of my ceremonies, and they are all customized to my couples. I am also able to offer a quick elopement if that is your preference. Having two locations makes it easy for me to cover a large area of ceremonies in Colorado, and I am always happy to travel. I am honored to be a part of my couple’s stories.

As a planner with nearly 10 years of experience in the wedding industry, I have seen thousands of ceremonies with countless officiants. Julie is the absolute best of them all. Not once in the many times I have worked with her have I made it through even half of a ceremony with a dry eye because of the sincerity behind her words for the couple. Every ceremony is customized to fit the couple’s personality, values and story and it shines through in the ceremonies Julie officiates. By the time Julie leaves on your wedding day, she will feel like family - that’s what you really want in the person leading you through one of the most special moments of your life, not just someone hired to read a script. I always say she’s sunshine in human form because she has a way of just lighting up a wedding day. If all of that isn’t enough to convince you, know that as a wedding planner myself I could have had anyone officiate my wedding day and the very first person I asked to be part of my day…was Julie.

Rabbi Astrachan was an absolute pleasure to work with from the very first meeting. Rabbi insisted that we have several meetings prior to the wedding so he could really know and understand us. By doing this, he made the wedding very personable and enjoyable to our guests and us. We received so many compliments of how amazing the ceremony was. It was truly unforgettable and the best part of our wedding!! Additionally, Rabbi Astrachan made us feel very comfortable as a same-sex couple and inter-religious couple. In addition to the wedding, Rabbi went above and beyond and wrote a very personable and thorough letter to the embassy to assist with my husband's green card and visa process.

Why settle for the same clichéd, predictable service everyone else uses? You're unique, and your wedding should be, too. I'll work with you to design the perfect ceremony to match your own individual style and personality.

A few hours after my husband and I got engaged, I asked him, "What if we just had a super tiny wedding and got married in a week?" Cue a mad scramble to find an officiant, photographer, and venue. We had already spoken to one potential officiant who didn't ask us any questions or tell us what he was planning to do—not great—so when our photographer recommended Dave, we were thrilled he was available. When we met up over Zoom to talk, it was clear he's very smart and funny, and loves love without being mushy about it. He crafted a ceremony that was short and sweet, complete with a reading that was a great match for us. I loved that he sent us the full script with free rein to adjust it to our liking. I, an endless word-fusser, only made one small change. On the day, he was already laughing with our witnesses when we arrived, and it set the scene so beautifully for us to have a joyful, laid back ceremony. It was perfect. He's happy to provide ideas but really wants the ceremony to work for you as a couple. He'll talk about his outfit options for you to choose from. (We went with a navy suit but he has a rad hot pink one too if that fits your vision. I suspect he would gamely wear an Iron Man costume or KISS makeup if that were your dream.) That open thoughtfulness extends to whatever kind of ceremony you want—big or small, religious or secular, traditional or offbeat. Zero judgment, just a steady stream of smart questions, good ideas, and caring support. And he writes the best emails. I haven't laughed that hard or felt so sparklingly clever in writing in years.

She had humor and an ease that only someone who loves what she does can convey. Everyone who attended our ceremony or watched the video said “what an excellent officiant.

Congratulations!! Your wedding marks the beginning of a whole new chapter of your life. It is a day that you will carry in your hearts forever & I would be honored to be a part of your celebration. Performing wedding ceremonies is one of the most joyous & rewarding activities that I have the privilege of participating in!

Rev. Deanna Lancaster was a pleasure and an honor to work with. She provided a ton of scripts of ceremonies she has performed for us to build our ceremony off of. We didn't realize we had the option to use prewritten vows until we read her scripts and that was a relief to discover. Choosing her was one of the best decisions we could have made because our ceremony is still my favorite part of the entire day. We made a Frankenstein of a script from all the ones she provided, she sent her updates, and we got a the exact ceremony we wanted. She knew to move out of the way for the ceremony kiss and performed the ceremony beautifully. After the ceremony, she handled our marriage license (in an extremely timely manner) and let us know as soon as everything was finalized and official! Then she included the scanned version of our license on the email and provided a cute certificate keepsake on the day of. It was just so wonderful to have her around on our wedding day and for that I am truly thankful.

Rev. Phil is a full-time wedding officiant. He is real minister (with a Master of Divinity degree). He has been married to Pam for 41 years. He enjoys watching movies (tries to see all the Oscar nominees), reading newspapers on his iPad, the Bears, summer concerts at the Chicago Botanic Garden and wine. He and his wife love to chat, listen to music and drink wine in front of their fireplace or in the backyard, depending on the season.

Rev. Phil delivered an unforgettably touching, humorous, and unique ceremony that our guests raved about. When we first found Rev. Phil, we didn't have any specific vision for our ceremony - we assumed that since we were looking for a secular ceremony that it would be bare-boned. But after speaking to Rev. Phil (who was glad to perform a secular ceremony!) and watching the love story videos on his website, we clicked immediately and took the plunge. We did go beyond our original budget, but it was so worth it.

Joanna had an elopement, a formal wedding, and a separate reception—so she truly gets it! She’s ordained through AMM and ULC, trained in the Business of Officiating, and is a member of IAPWO. In off hours, she walks her rescue dog, Corrigan, reads or sings. She can’t wait to help you create a celebration that feels just right.

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.

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.
