Illuminating Ceremonies

Flushing, NY
  • Offers 9 ceremony types
  • Starts at $900

I am your guests' favorite thing about your wedding. Since 2011, I've been writing and performing personal, meaningful and refreshingly engaging ceremonies for couples just like you and couples who are nothing like you. Couples work with me with an easy, collaborative process during which I become your favorite part of wedding planning. I take guest experience and your wishes very seriously. Your families will thank you for getting somebody who makes the ceremony light while still making clear how beautiful it is that you found each other. I officiate all over the US.

Chris was an absolute pleasure to work with for our wedding. Not only did he make the entire process smooth, it stimulated discussions about old memories between my husband and I that brought us back 10 years! Luckily, 2 of our best friends had used Chris as their officiant before our wedding 3 years prior and when we got engaged, he was the first vendor to come to our minds! He made us and our guests laugh throughout the ceremony with some quick witted humor, reminded us of what it means to move through this new chapter as a married couple, but also brought such ease on a chaotic day! Our guests were raving about him which just re-iterated that it was our best decision as we planned the wedding. Chris even did a special shoutout to my family out of state who couldn’t make the wedding which made it even more special for us. Hands down, Illuminating Ceremonies with Christopher Shelley will not disappoint.

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.

My name is Erica Cooke and I'm your everyday neighbor and friend. I live in Grandville, MI with my husband, our 2 boys (ages 18 and 19) and our 17 chickens. I love to travel, enjoy the outdoors, get tattoos and garden. I love my family... Like LOVE my family. I'm often babysitting nieces or nephews and never miss an opportunity to hang out with my 4 younger siblings and their families. I'm pretty laid back and can adapt to most any situation. This helps me be the best version of myself for you. I love LOVE. I am very inclusive and affirming of all relationships. Thank you for considering me as part of your very special day!

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.

I'm new to Zola, but I have been performing weddings since 2017- check out my website for more reviews! I have performed over 250 weddings, vow renewals, and commitment ceremonies (traditional and same sex). I'm ordained solely to perform weddings; Christian, non-denominational, secular, and judgment-free. I am an active member of a local church community. As a veteran, I offer a military discount. Please indicate your military status when you request a quote. I thoroughly enjoy meeting new couples, and I make every effort to perform the ceremony to your expectations. It is an honor to perform weddings, and I look forward to working with you.

We truly could not have asked for a better officiant for our wedding! Eloise was everything we hoped for kind, professional, and incredibly organized and she went above and beyond to create a ceremony that was heartfelt, personal, and unforgettable. From our very first interaction, she made everything feel so easy. She brought us a full, beautifully written ceremony plan that felt like it was crafted just for us. She took the time to get to know our story and wove it into the ceremony in such a meaningful way from our high school beginnings and proposal at Wallace Park, to the small things that make our relationship special, like our shared love of travel and beach trips. One of our favorite parts was how she incorporated the Sand Ceremony. It was something we really wanted, and she made it feel so symbolic and unique to us. Her words during that moment, about blending our lives while still honoring who we are as individuals, were so touching. Standing together at that table, surrounded by our loved ones, felt like the perfect representation of our union. She also honored our late grandparents with such grace and respect, bringing them into the ceremony in a way that felt spiritual and comforting. From her guidance for our family during the opening, to the blessing at the end, she brought clarity, presence, and peace to every step. She managed to strike the perfect balance between emotional, thoughtful, and light-hearted (including a little humor that made us and our guests smile!). Every guest felt included and every word felt intentional. Having her as our officiant made our ceremony not just official, but truly meaningful. We are so grateful for her work and presence on such an important day. If you are looking for someone who will thoughtfully and lovingly guide you through your wedding ceremony, she is absolutely the one. Thanks again! – Logan & Kaelyn

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 worked with us over several sessions to help us develop a ceremony that was perfectly suited to our needs. His attention to detail added extra spark to the event and was deeply appreciated.

Hi, I'm K - and I can't wait to meet you. I believe your wedding ceremony should be uniquely yours and one you feel proud of. As a wedding officiant, I specialize in crafting custom ceremonies that are playful, joyful, and deeply sentimental—bringing laughter and heartfelt moments to your big day.

I am not an affectionate person. I was not looking forward to being put on display in front of 200 people to get married. But I did know that K would help me get through it. K was our officiant for our Wedding in 2019 and I couldn’t have asked for a better person. As a family friend, I knew K could give us the ceremony we wanted, and boy did she deliver. We wanted spiritual but not religious, we wanted special but not cheesy, and most of all we wanted someone calm, cool, and collected like K. From the blessings before dinner to the entire ceremony she made everyone feel welcome and loved. I honestly think I looked more at K than my now husband during the ceremony because I was so nervous. K has a genuine presence that makes everyone feel included, important, and at ease. She has a calmness about her that is infectious and makes you want to be a better person. I can’t recommend K’s services enough! No matter your event, whether it be a celebration or a time of need, K will provide that beacon of light to help you get through it.

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.

The comfort and ease that Dave brought to the wedding with his reassuring, “I’ve got this, whatever you want, it’s your wedding” attitude was exactly what an anxious bride needed. We are not a religious couple, nor are we especially romantic, but we still wanted a traditional, classic ceremony. That balance was perfectly achieved because Dave actively listens to his clients and offers a variety of unique options. I cannot overstate how much overthinking and stressing I did about every other aspect of the wedding, but I was so relaxed and confident that the ceremony would be perfect, and I was right. Over a year later my husband and I still talk about how the ceremony was the best part of the night. If you’re looking for an officiant who will come to you with an open mind, no judgement, and genuine care, there is no better person than David Lang.

Lisa captured everything we wanted in our ceremony. She was absolutely perfect, genuine, sincere, and real. She provided a copy of our “draft” ceremony prior to our wedding to allow us to make any last minute changes/revisions. She incorporated one of our most favorites poems into our ceremony and provided guidance with writing our own vows. We even threw Lisa a curve ball by asking her to incorporate a whiskey unity and she performed it with such grace and confidence. We highly recommend Lisa to perform your ceremony.

I’ll be there to steady your nerves, share a laugh, and remind you to soak it all in. Because your love story is one-of-a-kind, and your ceremony should be too.

Working with Jackie Reinking, the New York Elopement Officiant, was an absolute joy. Her communication throughout the process was timely, informative and reassuring. The quality of her work and the value she provided was truly second to none. Jackie helped keep my husband calm as he waited for me during our first look, and she also expertly managed the young passers-by who were eager to watch our ceremony. It felt like having a close friend officiate our wedding. Jackie wrote a beautiful ceremony tailored to us as a couple, incorporating readings we had chosen. The entire ceremony was so much fun and really special. Being from the UK, the process of securing our marriage license would have been overwhelming, but Jackie broke it down into simple steps and made the experience feel like an adventure. We are so grateful to Jackie for helping make our wedding day perfect in every way.

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.

Joanna has been a dream to work with! We didn't really know what we wanted our ceremony to look like without the religious framing to guide us. She is so knowledgeable and helpful, and she guided us in figuring out what would work best for us. Can't recommend highly enough!

We cannot express enough how grateful we are to have had April as our wedding officiant! 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!

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.
