Robert S. Trittschuh, Wedding Officiant 
Rating: 5.0 (6 reviews)
Cincinnati, OH
  • Offers 6 ceremony types
  • Starts at $150

I am an ordained minister through the Universal Life Church, licensed in Ohio and authorized to perform weddings in Kentucky and Indiana. I specialize in short, non-religious ceremonies and will also help guide you through the steps of obtaining your marriage license. Prices start at $100 and vary based on travel and services.

From the very beginning, Robert was professional, respectful, easy to talk to, and made us feel comfortable throughout the entire process. He helped us write a ceremony script that reflected exactly what we wanted and followed it perfectly on our wedding day. Robert arrived on time, was well-spoken, and dressed appropriately for the occasion, adding to the professionalism of our ceremony. Everything went smoothly, and he delivered our ceremony with warmth and confidence. We truly appreciated his guidance and attention to detail and would highly recommend him to any couple looking for a reliable and personable officiant.

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 
Rating: 5.0 (69 reviews)
·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.

I cannot say enough amazing things about Chris!! He came super highly recommended by our planner so we felt lucky to be able to book him for our date. From the first meeting, Chris was engaging and fun, yet professional and had a clear process that he explained to us. That process, included questions that dove deep into our relationship and love story and was extremely fun for us to complete. As I look back, his process feels like a super special part of the planning process. Then came wedding day…. Chris was phenomenal!!! The ceremony was so fun and exactly our vibe. He involved our guests the perfect amount and the ceremony felt so special and exactly what we wanted. Multiple guests raved about him, but beyond that, told me they got a chance to talk with him afterwards which I thought was so special that he stayed and engaged with guests. I would rate him more than five stars if I could, book Chris Shelley!!!

  • Serves Cincinnati, OH

Expedited Weddings of Cincinnati, LLC is a specialized wedding services provider based in Liberty Township, Ohio, offering streamlined and flexible wedding solutions for couples who want to “tie the knot” quickly, conveniently, and without the typical stress or long-planning lead time.

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. If you’re looking for an officiant who listens deeply, speaks beautifully, and genuinely cares about your wedding, we cannot recommend Nick enough. Thank you for helping us start our marriage with such a meaningful ceremony.

  • Serves Cincinnati, OH

I started as a Justice of the Peace in 1986 and got ordained in 2011. Have been officiating for 39 years. Love meeting the families of my clients. I try to put feelings into the ceremonies when reading them.

From our first conversation, we knew Tom from Sunset Weddings Tri-State was the right choice to officiate our ceremony. 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. What really stood out was how he advocated for me when I was stressed—he just knew what I needed. Tom’s care and attention made our ceremony feel truly personal, and we couldn't have asked for a better experience. We're so grateful for his sweetness and dedication to making our day special.

Reverend Karen is more than just an officiant; she's your dedicated cheerleader in crafting a deeply meaningful and personalized wedding ceremony that celebrates your unique love story. With over 20 years of experience, now officiating full-time, Karen specializes in working with couples who desire a heartfelt ceremony outside of a traditional church setting.

From our first conversation with Karen at With This Ring Wedding Ceremonies, we knew we'd made the right choice. She sent us a questionnaire called "love story" and worked those personal details into our ceremony, which made the whole thing feel like it was written just for us. Karen also gave us samples of different vow styles and ring exchanges so we could build the perfect ceremony for us. On the day of our wedding, she had thought through every detail and our guests kept mentioning how special and personal the ceremony felt. Her communication was clear throughout the planning process, and she truly took the time to understand who we are as a couple. We couldn't have asked for a better officiant.

Joining a couple in marriage is a highlight of my life. I have married couples with religious backgrounds and some with no religious background. I have performed over 250 weddings in Ohio, Kentucky and Indiana.

Communication with Caring Wedding Ceremonies was clear and constant throughout the planning process. Jeff, the officiant, goes above and beyond in his work and is extremely affordable. He was extremely organized, delivered a beautiful ceremony, and provided the sweetest ceremony keepsake. We can't recommend Jeff and Caring Wedding Ceremonies enough!
