Evan made our wedding ceremony feel like it was written just for us. From the moment he arrived, he was on time and took his time walking us through everything without rushing through a single moment. During the vows, he kept things relevant to our relationship, which meant so much to Mary and me—it felt personal and real. He had this perfect balance of being serious when it mattered and keeping things light and fun throughout the day. Evan genuinely cared about making our ceremony special and it showed in every detail. We couldn't have asked for a better officiant to start our marriage.

I'm Rev. Dr. Jeff Saville, (call me Jeff) a retired Navy chaplain with 26 yrs military service and real church pastor (not just ordained online). I can lead a highly customized & personalized wedding ceremony at a winery, golf club, beach, on a military base or in a hot air balloon! Or if you just need to be quickly/legally married very inexpensively, I do that too! When you contact me you will quickly receive detailed info, a sample but customizable ceremony, and offer times for a free consultation by videocall to answer questions about levels of service (Gold/Silver/Bronze), the fees, OPTIONAL Premarital Counseling and more!

Dr. Jeff was such an amazing person to work with. I am all about paying for quality, and I feel like I got what I paid for and more. We initially decided to choose him because of how organized he was, this is something I care deeply about so it was nice to see how dedicated he was to staying organized for his customers. We began with an initial video call to do introductions, and he made the interaction feel like I was talking to a friend. We picked a package where my now husband and I had a mini rehearsal at Dr. Jeff's home in Temecula. This felt so personal and was ultimately super helpful to ensure we knew what to do on the day. We also hired him to do the formal rehearsal at our rehearsal dinner the night before the wedding. Without this, I honestly am not sure how I would have been able to wrangle my wedding party. Dr. Jeff is so knowledgeable and truly thought of everything! He even let us choose the outfit he was going to wear, this is something I didn't even consider, but it was really so cool to be able to choose. The ceremony went so well and everyone thought he did an amazing job. He worked closely with us customize our ceremony and gave us all the tips and tricks to have a beautiful ceremony. Overall, I had an amazing experience with Dr. Jeff. He is by far one of the best wedding choices I made. If you are unsure about spending the money for a quality officiant with a kind heart, I am telling you that you should take the leap. We did and we are so thankful we did!

Now let me tell you, I don't know how I didn't shed a tear during our ceremony, because Danny's words were so heartfelt. I honestly wish I would go back in the time to relive my ceremony.

Hello and congratulations!! I absolutely LOVE officiating weddings! With over 30 years and 2,100 weddings officiated I want to do more. For the last 12 years my fulltime "job" is marrying couples! I feel so honored that I get to do this for a living!!

From our first conversation with Austin Area Weddings, we knew we had found the right officiant for our day. He responded quickly to our questions and made the entire process feel stress-free, which meant so much during the planning stages, even helping us navigate the license process. What really stood out was how genuine and personable he was—our guests actually asked how we knew him because he felt like an old friend! His passion for what he does is obvious, and he brought such care and attention to every detail of our ceremony.

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. ♥

Yvonne from Blissful & Blessed Unions was truly incredible. From the very beginning, she was communicative, thoughtful, and so easy to work with. She took the time to get to know us and made our ceremony feel deeply personal, warm, and added the most beautiful tribute to my grandmother. Her energy was lively and genuine, and she truly made our day feel extra special. It honestly feels like we gained a friend through this experience. We are still receiving so many compliments about how amazing she was, and several members of our bridal party are already interested in booking her for their own weddings. I would highly recommend Yvonne to anyone looking for an officiant who truly cares and brings heart, joy, and professionalism to every moment.

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!

Awarded Best of Zola
I couldn’t be happier with how our ceremonies turned out thanks to his expertise. I was always anxious about deciding who should officiate our wedding. My husband and I are not religious, and we always looked at each other and cringed a little when weddings would delve into the religious aspect of the ceremony, as it just made us feel weird about what we would possibly have said during those parts for us. So it was important to me to find an officiant who would respect our secular wishes. I reached out to Tim all the way back in 2023 to see what he was about, and what followed was a nearly 30-minute conversation that felt as natural as talking to someone I had known forever. He was personable, kind, and he made me laugh! I immediately felt so comfortable with him; I knew he would be our guy. So we booked with him for our ceremony planned on 11.01.25. Fast forward to 2024: something came up, and my then-fiancé and I needed to elope immediately. I reached out to Tim, and he offered to do the elopement for us, a simpler version of what was to come. It was a beautiful spring day on 05.01.24, made even more special by the words he said to bind us together legally at a park he recommended in private, just the three of us. It was so nice to get to know him a little more through that interaction, and we knew we made the right choice as soon as we met him! Fast forward once more to 2025: it was finally the year of our ceremony! Tim walked us through what it would be like, and as an anxious bride, I felt so much more at ease as soon as he arrived at our rehearsal. It was like he knew exactly how I felt, and he helped me wrangle our family into getting things moving. Then, finally, our day was here, a crisp but clear fall day on 11.01.25. Tim was the calm, happy energy we needed to pull everything together. The ceremony- I couldn’t believe how beautiful it ended up being. He was everything I wanted in an officiant and more. If we got married a third time, I couldn’t imagine anyone trying to fill his shoes! I would recommend Tim to the moon and back. We truly loved having him as a part of our big day!

I’ve had the privilege of working alongside Shannon, referring her to couples, and even trusting her to officiate my own daughter’s wedding, and in every situation, she has been nothing short of amazing. As a fellow officiant, I’ve seen firsthand how much Shannon loves what she does. She communicates beautifully, is organized and dependable, and brings a sense of calm, joy, and presence to every ceremony she leads. I’ve referred her to couples knowing they’ll be in excellent hands, and she has always exceeded expectations. When it came time for my own daughter’s wedding, I wanted to be fully present as her mom, and Shannon was the only person I trusted to officiate. She arrived early, helped with last-minute details, and created a ceremony that was thoughtful, heartfelt, and perfectly tailored to my daughter and her partner. Her delivery was warm, engaging, and so genuine that every guest felt the love in the room.

Dawn has a very friendly and warm way about her that made us feel calm on our special day. This was realized during our initial phone encounter with her a week before we met to discuss any last minute details. Right from the beginning, we found Dawn to be patient, caring, and very attentive to every detail. We are from out of state and it did not take long at all for Dawn to earn our trust during all of the planning. In addition, Dawn was extremely flexible with the date that we chose to get married, July 4th, which has a special meaning to us. We were doubtful that it was possible to get married on the 4th, but Dawn made it happen! Dawn was such a great help by providing us some examples of wedding vows which became very useful when writing our own. We can’t thank her enough for that. If you are considering Dawn to be your wedding officiant, look no further. You have found the best!

I had the pleasure of being a bridesmaid, and they honestly couldn’t have picked a better officiant! He made everything feel so warm and personal, heartfelt, and even a little fun! He gave us smiles, he gave us laughs, and he perfectly captured the couple’s personalities. Weddings can be hectic and stressful, but he made sure that on the big day they were calm, confident, and completely at ease in front of everyone. It was very natural, very organic, and I loved that. The ceremony flowed beautifully, and so many of us were smiling, laughing, and even tearing up at the perfect moments. The bridesmaids cried, the groomsmen cried, we all cried. But it was all happy tears, such a beautiful thing to be apart of! We all had such a great time, and you could just tell how much thought and care he put into making their day special. If you want someone who’s professional, warm, and makes the whole experience unforgettable, someone who’s going to reflect on your personalities and your journey as a couple, and someone to really move and make your guests feel that love in the atmosphere, Norman is the man to call!

While anyone can get ordained online and sign the license - not everyone has experience or training to hold ceremony that feels intentional, sacred, and deeply yours, or help you feel supported throughout the experience. *** My calendar here may not be current. *** please check out my website for more info and pricing.

Nicolle is truly a blessing! When my husband and I were looking for an officiant we wanted someone who would personalize our ceremony in a way that felt genuine and true to who we are as humans. Nicolle did just that!! She met with us several times before the ceremony to get to know us and our vision for the ceremony and was so great with communication through the entire process.

Whether you’re looking to elope, for a small intimate sunset beach wedding on the Atlantic Ocean or Gulf of Mexico, a commitment ceremony, a ceremony at a large fancy venue, or anything in between, I can help create what you most desire for your day — a perfect, memorable celebration that you, your family, your wedding party, and your guests will truly enjoy. Nobody really wants to attend a wedding they’ve been to time and time again. They want to experience your story and your style in every aspect of your ceremony. That’s why I believe in creating a ceremony from a blank canvas and turn it into an extraordinary ceremony.

Keith Carson Weddings provided exceptional communication throughout the wedding planning process. They were quick to respond to all our questions and provided thorough guidance every step of the way. Their officiating services were meaningful, beautiful, and truly captured the essence of our relationship. We are so grateful to have had Keith Carson Weddings as our wedding officiants and would highly recommend them to any couple looking for a personalized, thoughtful ceremony.

Hey, I’m Tiara — your modern, non- denominational officiant known for vibrantly authentic ceremonies rooted in heart, humor, and soulful storytelling. I don’t just officiate, I lead. Through story-led ceremony design and a mic-drop delivery, I bring your guests into your love story in a way that feels effortless, elevated, and entirely yours.

This review is long overdue! My husband and I had the wonderful Tiara officiate our wedding 04/20/2023, and she helped make our experience so enjoyable! Not only was she professional, but also compassionate, personable, and helped us with our vows when we were both too overwhelmed to speak. She gave our guests a beautiful explanation of our love for each other, and included a “couple therapy-esque” meeting to get to know us before the wedding, and ended in me having happy tears expressing my love towards my husband during such a stressful time. She gets a 10 out of 10 from us! Make sure you book her for your upcoming wedding!

As a wedding planner, I can make sure every detail goes according to plan, but a wedding day is ultimately about kicking off a beautiful marriage, and Reverend Scott helped keep the couple rooted in exactly that. He was such a welcome surprise for them and truly set the tone for the entire day in the best way possible. Fun, funny, charming, and incredibly genuine, he brought so much warmth and joy to the ceremony. He was also an absolute pleasure to work with as a vendor. On top of that, he stayed after the ceremony to help me repurpose personal items for the receptionl something he absolutely did not need to do, but that speaks volumes about the kind of person he is. I would recommend him over and over again!!

Sealed With Grace by Norma J. was the perfect choice for our wedding officiant. Norma's communication was amazing - she was always on time, responsive, and put us at ease throughout the entire process. Her experience and professionalism were exceptional, and she made our ceremony feel so special and personal. Norma arrived early on the day of our wedding and her humorous and calming presence helped me feel safe and supported.

Officially Oaks is a premier wedding officiant firm serving the great state of Texas across the Austin, San Antonio, Hill Country, and Houston areas. Together with our team of licensed professional officiants, we're dedicated to creating a Ceremony as Extraordinary as Your Love Story.

Luke was absolutely amazing! He was professional, confident, and incredibly composed while officiating our ceremony in front of all of our family and friends. After the ceremony, so many people came up to us saying how wonderful “our friend” did and that it was one of the most beautiful ceremonies they had ever witnessed, which says everything about Luke. I had the chance to meet Luke before my husband could, and he was more than willing to set aside time to meet with the groom before the wedding to ensure everyone felt comfortable and prepared. We also had a few Zoom calls leading up to the big day that truly helped calm our nerves and made us feel completely ready. Luke also helped us step away after the ceremony for a brief, intimate moment to sign our certificate together in person, which meant so much to us. Luke has such a warm, natural presence that everyone genuinely thought we had known him for years. Officially Oaks is hands down the best wedding officiant you could hire. I would recommend Luke to anyone without hesitation!

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.
