Blissful & Blessed Unions 

5.0

Mesquite, TX
  • Offers 10 ceremony types
  • Starts at $400

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. ♥

Awarded Best of Zola
We hired Yvonne last minute for our very small, intimate wedding, and I truly can’t say enough amazing things about her. Originally, we were planning to just go to the courthouse, but I really wanted something that felt more personal and meaningful. I reached out to Yvonne, and she responded so quickly and immediately understood exactly what we were hoping for. She was professional, kind, and so easy to work with throughout the entire process. The ceremony she created for us was beautiful and heartfelt — she took the time to tell our love story in such a special way that made the moment unforgettable. Even though our wedding was small, she made it feel incredibly intimate and meaningful, which is exactly what we wanted. Yvonne truly went above and beyond, and we are so grateful we found her. If you’re looking for someone who will make your wedding feel personal, memorable, and full of love, I highly recommend her. She was the best ever and a huge part of what made our day so special.

Tim Greathouse, Ohio Wedding Officiant 

5.0

Canton, OH
  • Offers 10 ceremony types
  • Starts at $150

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!

Tim Greathouse, the Ohio Wedding Officiant, was amazing, personable, and hilarious. His work was top-notch, and he was truly the best there is! He made our vows perfect - heartfelt and funny. Even a year later, we still get compliments on how wonderful Tim was. He was so personable with everything, and his added humor was just top-notch. He made our special day so much better, speaking like a good friend who had known us for years, not just an officiant. I can't recommend Tim enough!

We truly can’t say enough good things about Chris Shelley. He made our ceremony unforgettable—genuine, heartfelt, and so uniquely us. From the very beginning, Chris took the time to get to know us, and it showed in every word he spoke. The stories he told captured our relationship perfectly, striking the perfect balance of sincerity and humor. He had our guests both laughing and tearing up at the same time. So many people came up to us after the ceremony—not just to say how much they loved it, but to ask for Chris’s contact info to pass along to their family and friends. While many ceremonies can feel long or impersonal, Chris created an environment that truly brought everyone together in an engaging and meaningful way.

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.

Awarded Best of Zola
We were originally planning on having one of our best friends perform our ceremony, but we couldn’t bring ourselves to do it, after spending so much time and money planning the rest of our wedding, our ceremony couldn’t be left on the hands of an unprepared person. Therefore, we decided to look for officiants. After interviewing over 5, we knew Danny was the perfect fit for us. His communication skills and professionalism were outstanding. We inquired about his services on his website and we heard from him within minutes! We set up a phone call and he was so pleasant to talk to. He asked us what our vision was for our ceremony, our must have, and what we wanted him to not include. He allowed us to ask all the questions we wanted without feeling rushed. A month before our ceremony we met over zoom, which is super convenient. We went over personal questions so he could customize our ceremony to fit our story. He walked us through what the ceremony would look like the day of ur wedding so we wouldn’t have any surprises. He even asked us which color suit we wanted him to wear! The ceremony was perfect! He was super engaging, smiling the whole time, and my favorite part; he ran away the middle for our first kiss so he wouldn’t be standing in any of our pictures. Just perfection! Even after our wedding, he kept the communication going with my husband and I. He mailed our marriage license back the next business day, and he notified us once we were showing officially married on the county website! If you are on the fence or can’t decide to hire Danny, please make the investment! He is 100% worth it!

We had the pleasure of having Evan as our wedding officiant, and we couldn’t have asked for a more thoughtful, warm, and genuine person to lead our ceremony. From the very beginning, he put great effort into getting to know us as a couple and as a family, ensuring that the ceremony truly reflected who we are. He crafted an incredibly touching and meaningful ceremony that deeply resonated with both us and our guests. One of the most special moments was the family sand ritual he proposed — a beautiful way to include not just me and my husband, but also our two boys. It made the ceremony even more personal and memorable. We are so grateful for his kindness, creativity, and the care he put into every detail. If you are looking for a personalized, heartfelt, and unforgettable wedding ceremony, we wholeheartedly recommend Evan.

Beaverton, OR
  • Offers 10 ceremony types

A Portland native, and founder of EC Matrimony, Ernie has become an expert in all things weddings. Having recently stepped away from a career in Marketing/Public Relations, Ernie has taken his business from part-time to full-time in 2021 to help more couples realize their wedding dreams. Throughout his 18 years in the industry, and having performed over 3,000 weddings, it’s easy to see why he’s been featured in bridal magazines, national IG posts, and been featured in Huffington Post twice, and on realty TV. Add to that the dozens of national awards he’s won over the years, and you can tell why he’s in demand as a wedding officiant.

From the moment my husband and I met Ernie from EC Matrimony, we were impressed by his honest, confident and professional communication style. On the day of our wedding, Ernie's heartfelt, on point and trustworthy approach made the ceremony feel tailored just for us. Despite my lack of preparation, Ernie seamlessly guided us through the wedding, ensuring it was special, humble and full of love. The wedding wouldn't have come together without Ernie's thoughtful contributions, and we are already planning to have him officiate when we renew our vows in the future.

When we were planning our wedding we originally thought of just asking a friend to marry us. But after learning more about what a good officiant can offer we were incredibly happy to have changed plans and gone with Miriam! Miriam perfectly balanced being both professional and also getting to know us as a couple and individuals. She was very friendly and always a joy to talk to in our calls. The ceremony itself was not something we had given a ton of thought to, and weren’t sure exactly what we wanted outside of having a few concepts (short, secular, not too serious). Miriam was able to offer us advice, recommendations, and guidance throughout the process as we created our ceremony. From sending us examples of readings that fit our vibe, to explaining different unity ceremony ideas and helping us come up with one that fit us, Miriam made what could have been a stressful planning experience into a breeze. Miriam separately reviewed both our private and public vows, gave us feedback to make sure both our tones were the same, and took care of dropping off the paperwork to make the marriage official. We knew we picked the right person when our friends asked us afterwards how long we had to look to find an officiant with the same sense of humor as us. We would absolutely recommend Miriam to anyone asking!

We really appreciated that we could be as much or little involved in the details of the ceremony as we wanted.

Our experience with Rev. Dave was honestly a hit from the beginning! His personality is magnetic and you can tell he puts love and intention into the wedding ceremonies that he is a part of. He has different content up his sleeve (you’ll see when you book with him) to truly give you an unforgettable ceremony. Our guests could NOT stop raving about him and all of our guests thought that we had YEARS of personal family connections with him, when in reality we only had a 3-4 planning sessions. One of our close family friends even told my dad that our ceremony was the best ceremony he had ever seen and his daughter just got married (sorry girl!). All i can say is this: when you receive his pricing, DO NOT SKIMP. My (now) husband and i paid for this wedding ourselves, and i do admit that we went with the middle package because of our own hectic schedules and finances, but Rev Dave is WORTH IT ALL. You are (hopefully) only getting married one time, and one of THE best decisions you could make is hiring Rev. Dave!

Matt is my brother and my husband and I chose him to officiate our wedding, not only because he is family, but because we wanted it to feel more personal rather than a generic wedding ceremony speech from the officiant.

His speech was the perfect mix of lighthearted jokes, love, personal stories from our relationship, and information and feelings from my husband and I. He truly captured the essence of love and what it means to commit yourself to someone else for the rest of your life. Our guests still cannot stop talking about how great Matt was, even 6 months after the wedding!

When we began planning our wedding, we thought it would be nearly impossible to create a ceremony that would make everyone happy. My husband and I come from very different religious backgrounds, and we truly had no idea where to start. Left to our own devices, we probably would have just gone to the courthouse, but we knew our families (especially mine) hoped for something much more traditional. I was so pleasantly surprised to find Your Wedding Officiant and learn that we could build a ceremony from scratch- one that honored tradition while still feeling true to us. We worked closely with Reverend Dennis, who guided us every step of the way. He was incredibly kind, communicative, flexible, and such a pleasure to work with. Thanks to him, we were able to create a beautiful ceremony that thoughtfully blended our families’ values with our own preferences. I can’t overstate how meaningful it was to have so much control and customization without sacrificing reverence or structure. I would recommend Your Wedding Officiant to absolutely anyone. We are so grateful to Reverend Dennis and the team for helping make our day unforgettable.

I’ve known Kym for many years, and when the love of my life asked me to marry him, I knew there was only one person for the job! I called Kym right away, and even though I had run away to South Carolina, Kym was happy to take us on. She sent us a questionnaire to get an idea of what kind of ceremony we wanted, and to capture our love story. Kym offers so many different options both religious and non, and she worked so hard to create the perfect ceremony for us. As anyone planning a wedding knows, there is so much that goes into planning, and Kym made everything to do with the ceremony so easy! I’m not religious or traditional in any way, and Kym found us not only the perfect ring vows, but created the perfect ceremony to fit our theme and who we are individually as well as a couple. Kym even helps you if you want to write your own vows! Everyone is still talking about how gorgeous our ceremony was! Thank you Kym for everything, we love and appreciate all of your hard work so much. You helped us create memories that we will never forget! I wish I could give 50 stars for all of your hard work! You absolutely can’t go wrong with picking Fanciful Hearts for your wedding!

April from Forever Loven Angels was an absolute joy to work with throughout our entire wedding journey. Her communication was so thoughtful and kind, which helped put us at ease leading up to our big day. The ceremony she led was truly beautiful, with a personal touches from our love story that made it feel so special and unique to us.

K went an above and beyond for us! We were very late getting an officiant, but thankfully K had an availability! (Look into your options early folks, might not get lucky like us!!) She was quick to respond, set up meetings and work on what you wanted in your ceremony! She arrived early day of wedding with everything ready to go (as a bride, trust me this will make you so much less nervous.) Our ceremony turned out absolutely perfect! K was so well spoken and understood our story perfectly. We had a couple of small changes day of and she quickly accommodated! Again, the day was just perfect!

Kayelily is wonderful! We hired her to officiate our small elopement ceremony with our immediate family. From the start she was responsive, kind, and professional. She took the time to ask for my vision, what aspects of the ceremony were most important to us, and provided us with a script that we were able to edit if desired. Our wedding ceremony could not have been more perfect. It was the perfect blend of honoring our love, acknowledging everyone who was there to support us, and even a little humor. Our families agreed that she was absolutely wonderful and they enjoyed listening to her speak about us. We are so happy that Kayelily was able to be part of our most special day and we cannot thank her enough for the most perfect memory!

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.
