I chose to become ordained with AMM because I truly believe in the power of love and the beauty of marriage. After being married for 16 years myself, I know firsthand that marriage is not just about a wedding day—it's about a lifelong journey of commitment, growth, and partnership. Officiating allows me to honor that journey for others, and it brings me great joy to help couples begin their new chapter with meaning, love, and faith at the center.

“Blessed Beginnings Officiant Services was wonderful to work with for our wedding ceremony. Abby, the officiant, was professional, well-spoken, and easy to talk to throughout the planning process. She was friendly and caring, ensuring that my daughter felt special and that our ceremony was tailored to our needs. Abby was very attentive and made sure everything went smoothly on the day. I would highly recommend Blessed Beginnings Officiant Services to any couple looking for a caring and experienced officiant to make their wedding day extra special.”

The Resonant Officiant

Rating: 5.0 (13 reviews)

Offers 9 ceremony types
Starts at $300
Serves Newark, DE

My Grandfather was one of the first people in my life to hand me a microphone, and I have found myself holding one ever since. My name is Kaitlin, and I go by The Resonant Officiant. To “resonate” means to “ produce or be filled with a deep, full, reverberating sound” and my goal is to co-create a ceremony that leaves both the guests and the couple with a sense of connection, hope, and lasting memory. Our ancestors were deeply rooted in ritual practices, and while those exact rituals may not fit quite the same as they once did, they brought people together as a strengthened unit - a sense of belonging all beings deserve to experience.

“The Resonant Officiant was the perfect choice for our wedding ceremony. Kaitlin, the officiant, was quick, detailed, thoughtful, and efficient in her communication with us throughout the planning process. Her work was truly detailed, lovely, and thoughtful. The way Kaitlin included our children in the ceremony was perfect - she had great ideas that really matched the energy of our intimate, small celebration. Kaitlin took the time to understand us as a couple, offering direction while also allowing our own ideas to lead the ceremony. We felt honored to have The Resonant Officiant lead our special day.”

I’m Kesha Dionne. With nearly 20 years in the wedding industry, I’ve been part of countless celebrations—each unique, yet centered around one meaningful moment. Over time, I’ve come to understand that while details may vary, the ceremony is where everything truly comes together. As an ordained officiant, I create custom ceremonies with care, intention, and respect for the moment. I work closely with couples to understand their story so the ceremony reflects not just what they’ve planned—but who they are.

“From our first conversation, we knew Kesha from The Vibe & The Vows was going to be the perfect fit for our elopement. She had such a caring and warm approach to everything, asking thoughtful questions to understand what mattered to us and making sure our ceremony felt truly personal. Kesha nailed every detail—from the placement of where we stood to the exact words she used—and it was clear she put real intention into crafting our moment. On the day itself, she was an absolute godsend, keeping everything flowing smoothly and bringing this fun, charismatic energy that made us feel completely at ease. Even though we chose an intimate elopement instead of a traditional wedding, Kesha made it feel just as special and meaningful as any big celebration. We wouldn't change a thing about how she helped us say our vows.”

I became a wedding officiant in 2023 because I believe ceremonies should be anything but boring. This is the moment two people declare their love, it should be heartfelt, engaging, and unapologetically YOU. My ceremonies are so personal and memorable that guests often ask, “How long have you known Emerald?” From emotional vows to inside jokes, first-date stories, flower-grandmas, and even that one uncle’s pill alarm going off mid-ceremony, we’ll work together to and make sure your ceremony is one of the most memorable parts of your big day!

“Emerald Elegance Wedding Ceremonies deserves all the accolades! Emerald is the utmost professional, bringing kindness and enthusiasm every step of the way. She was so well organized, quick to propose helpful suggestions for the ceremony, considered aspects of the ceremony we didn’t even think of, and truly guided us through the process (even the marriage license process - which is the biggest wedding day to-do haha). My husband and I had our wedding this past Halloween and admittedly were behind on our vendor search. We were so grateful when Emerald was available to officiate our wedding on just a few weeks notice. She crafted the most beautiful and perfect ceremony - my partner and I were both in tears just in the zoom meeting. The day of, Emerald took control and guided the ceremony effortlessly. She made sure to allow us a moment to take in the view of all our loved ones during the ceremony, made sure to make our guests a part of the vows and walked us through our responses. I cannot sing her praises enough - and our guests all absolutely raved about Emerald all throughout the day and evening. Do not hesitate to book Emerald!! We hit the jackpot, and could not have asked for a more perfect officiant, ceremony and even the process leading up to the big day. Thank you so much for making our day so perfect, and for reflecting so much love into our ceremony. We cannot wait to follow your business’s growth and see you win all the awards!”
