Flushing, NY
  • Offers 9 ceremony types

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.

I can't recommend him enough. Not only was he extremely flexible and understanding, we could tell how much time he spent preparing for our special day. He tailored our ceremony to highlight our unique circumstances and story, and perfectly executed it to set the exact mood we wanted. During the reception, half of our guests were talking about him instead of us! All in all, an absolute joy to work with.

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.

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.

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.

Modern. Soulful. Unforgettable. I custom-craft non-religious, Jewish, interfaith, and LGBTQ+ weddings that grab all the feels. Your love is one-of-a-kind — and your wedding ceremony should be, too.

Whether you're planning a beach wedding, rooftop celebration, or backyard gathering, I’ll meet you there.

We had Rabbi Astrachan officiate our wedding in December of 2022 and having him was one of the best decisions we made. The ceremony is arguably the most important part of the wedding and he assured everything he said was catered to us as the couple. He was enthusiastic and captivated our guests and kept them interested in the ceremony. He did a great job explaining the traditions of a Jewish wedding ceremony to our guests who were from different backgrounds. I highly recommend booking with Exchanging Rings / Rabbi Astrachan, you will have the most beautiful ceremony if you do.

Please let me know your military status when you request a quote. I have been performing ceremonies since 2017 and 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

So what better service could we offer but to be the person on your wedding day to put the words of love and commitment into your ceremony so that you will Love Your Moment.

Our wedding ceremony was perfect and Lisa was a huge reason why! She totally captured the essence of who we are and what was important to us. 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.

I believe that a wedding ceremony should be more than just words. It should feel like home. A moment so personal and full of love that it stays with you forever. That’s what I create for every couple I marry. I’m not just an officiant - I’m your friend, your guide, and your biggest cheerleader. 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.

We got married October 3rd 24 and struggled trying to find the right person to officiate our day until we came across Jackie and really cannot recommend her enough! From the moment we started chatting she was the utmost professional to every email, enquiry or worry we may have had she squashed easily. The communication was great from the off and I knew we made the right choice! We utilised the services of both Jackie and her husband the photographer Sascha Reinking with their All in One Package and it was the best decision we made for the day! She talked us through every process for the marriage license and met us for the appointment! Had recommendations on locations and great guidance on our vows and the ceremony which she performed so so beautifully! They took the weight and pressure off so much of the day and made it so easy. I implore everyone to reach out to her, and her husband Sascha, to discuss how they can make your day even more special. It truly worked for us and we met people who we loved being a part of our day!

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.

I'm an ordained minister in the United Church of Christ, a cisgender queer woman, and passionate about helping couples celebrate their unions and find meaning in the midst of wedding planning. "Emelia was the best officiant we could have asked for! She expertly guided us through the daunting process of crafting a meaningful ceremony with kindness and good humor. Emelia was instrumental in making our wedding day feel personal and special and we recommend her highly!"

Emelia was an amazing wedding officiant who contributed greatly to making our special day perfect. She took the time to get to know us and our unique relationship, listening closely to our wants and needs for the ceremony. Emelia guided us seamlessly through the entire process, offering thoughtful suggestions to improve our vows (while respecting our voices), and helped us customize what we wanted featured in her remarks (poems, stories, anecdotes, humor, religious readings, etc.). Emelia’s warm and engaging presence, combined with her professionalism, were evident throughout the ceremony, as she delivered our vows with care and with a touch of humor that kept our guests both moved and entertained. We are so grateful to Emelia for her incredible service and highly recommend her to any couple.

As acclaimed love storytellers, they have mastered the art of creating personalized, meaningful ceremonies for over a thousand couples.

My husband and I really wanted our ceremony to be special and Ryan DELIVERED. From the first moment we talked to him, I knew he got. He did such a good job of creating many little special moments in the wedding from leading prayer to a surprise questionnaire from Kc and I. We had so many compliments on the officiant after our wedding, and many people said it was the best wedding ceremony they have ever attended. It was my part of the day - thank you for making it memorable!

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.
