Kubesch & Associates 
Rating: 5.0 (1 review)
Cincinnati, OH
  • Offers 9 ceremony types
  • Starts at $225

My path to becoming a wedding officiant began with curiosity. I've always been fascinated by different faiths, cultures, and traditions, and my love of travel deepened that interest. After studying at Xavier University, I pursued ordination to help couples create ceremonies that honor what matters most to them. Serving the Ohio, Kentucky, and Indiana tri-state region, I specialize in personalized, interfaith, multicultural, and multilingual ceremonies. As a poet and writer, I also help couples craft heartfelt vows that are memorable, meaningful, and authentically their own.

“Leila was absolutely amazing as our wedding officiant. From the beginning, she made the whole process easy and stress-free. She took the time to get to know us and created a ceremony that felt personal, genuine, and completely "us." On the day of the wedding, she brought the perfect mix of professionalism, warmth, and humor. She helped calm our nerves, kept everything flowing smoothly, and made the ceremony feel natural rather than scripted. Our guests loved her, and several people told us afterward how much they enjoyed the ceremony. What really stood out was how much Leila cared about making our day special. She wasn't just there to officiate; she was invested in helping us create a meaningful moment that we will remember for the rest of our lives. We couldn't have asked for a better officiant and would highly recommend Leila to any couple looking for someone who is personable, thoughtful, and easy to work with.”

Christopher Shelley/Illuminating Ceremonies

·Ratings include Zola and Google reviews
  • Offers 7 ceremony types
  • Serves Cincinnati, OH

Most couples who work with me take their relationship seriously, but don't take themselves too seriously. They're educated, do Wordle, read the NY Times and have a healthy sense of reality. Since 2011, I've been writing and performing personal, meaningful and refreshingly engaging ceremonies. Couples work with me in an easy, collaborative way. I take guest experience and your wishes very seriously. I have the ability to command a room, a writer's knack for shaping a story, an emcee's sense of timing, and experience at the most prestigious venues. My BFA in Acting (Boston University) and MFA in Creative Writing (NYU) serve me well.

“We are so lucky to have had Chris officiate our wedding in July! Throughout the wedding process Chris took the time to get to know us and our story, and he incorporated special bits about our relationship into his story telling. It felt like we were being married by a family friend—so special and authentic. We would recommend Chris to anyone who is looking for a special officiant who really cares about his couples. Thank you, Chris, for making our day so special!”

“We had the absolute pleasure of having Nick officiate our wedding, and we could not be happier with the experience. From our very first meeting, they made us feel comfortable, understood, and genuinely excited about crafting a ceremony that felt like “us.” They took the time to learn our story, our personalities, and the tone we wanted—blending heartfelt moments with just the right amount of humor. The script they prepared was beautifully written and flowed so naturally that several guests asked if Nick was a close friend of ours. On the wedding day, they arrived early, coordinated smoothly with our planner and vendors, and helped calm our nerves before the ceremony began. Their delivery was warm, confident, and sincere, creating a moment that truly felt magical. Even when the wind decided to make a dramatic appearance, they kept everything light and perfectly on track. We are so grateful for the care, professionalism, and joy they brought to our day.

Tom was professional and kind throughout the entire planning process, staying attentive to every detail and making our requests his priority. On the day of our wedding, Tom went with the flow when we needed to make last-minute changes and was present for all the little moments that mattered.

“Charmaine is one of my closest friends and was actually a bridesmaid at my wedding because I didn’t want her to have to worry about doing double duty and being present. Unfortunately, the officiant we booked was misinformed about Ohio versus Kentucky marriage licenses and less than 2 weeks before the wedding called me with questions. Charmaine was the consummate professional and signed the correct paperwork during the reception, while in her bridesmaids dress looking beautiful- she can do it all.”
