The Best Wedding Ceremony Officiants in Empire, OH

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!

My name is Dr. Stan Pokras, and I want to officiate your wedding ceremony! My day job is a health policy research scientist, but I have enjoyed going to weddings ever since I was a child. In fact, I was always impressed by how much work went into the wedding ceremony and how much fun the officiant had during the ceremony. As luck would have it, a very close family member was getting married several years ago, and I suggested that I would love to officiate. The couple agreed, I became licensed, and the rest is history.
