Married By Evan was a fantastic wedding officiant for our special day. From the very first time we spoke with him, he was super easy to talk to and offered us very helpful information to make our ceremony feel more personal and intimate.

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!

We had a wonderful experience with Pastor Jeff as our wedding officiant. From our first video call, he took the time to get to know us and made the whole process feel personable and comfortable. He guided us through planning the ceremony with clear communication over email, phone, and video calls, and even hosted a mini-rehearsal at his home and answered all of our questions with great detail. On the wedding day, he arrived looking great in the outfit we’d chosen and took time to coach everyone through their roles before the ceremony. The ceremony itself was beautifully led—thoughtful, heartfelt, and seamless. Afterwards, he even sent us photos he had taken, which was such a kind touch. Pastor Jeff was professional, organized, and truly a joy to work with—we highly recommend him!!!

We are so happy Danny was our officiant for our wedding. From when we first spoke to Danny about booking him for our wedding we knew we made a great choice. Danny alone has an amazing upbeat friendly personality. My husband and I didn't want a boring officiant or with a monotone delivery. When the wedding date came closer we had a zoom meeting with Danny and talked about how my husband and I met, and the vibe we wanted for the wedding. 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!!

We were married this past April, and James Simmons really made our special day come together. He was fantastic to work with and just oozes experience and geniality. The resources and guidance he provided was invaluable in helping us put together our plan for the ceremony, and in bringing it to fruition. Communication was always super fast, and any questions or uncertainty we had he cleared up immediately. He’s a genuinely nice person and we got along great with him! We thought he was so funny and very sweet! :) On the day of, he ran the ceremony like an orchestra conductor - and knew when to step out of the way for the photos! Honestly, our ceremony couldn’t have been any better than it was and Rev Simmons was a critical part of that. He had an amazing speaking voice as well, and several guests commented on how well he did. We recommend him to anyone and everyone who is looking for an officiant!

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. ♥

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!

Hi, I’m Kasey King! I believe your wedding ceremony shouldn’t just be the "official" part of the day—it should be the absolute highlight. For over a decade, I’ve stood alongside couples in the beautiful Charleston area, crafting deeply personal, engaging, and memorable ceremonies that perfectly reflect who you are. Whether you’re planning an intimate coastal elopement, a classic Lowcountry celebration, or a modern ceremony, my goal is to make the experience feel effortless, intentional, and uniquely yours. I’ll get to know your story and vibe so you can feel entirely at ease. Let’s make it a moment you and your guests will never forget!

If we could give Kasey more than five stars, we would. From the very first conversation, he made us feel completely at ease. On our wedding day, he brought the perfect balance of professionalism, warmth, humor, and sincerity. His energy was calm and genuine, and he has a personality that instantly makes you feel like you’ve known him for years. He made the entire marriage license process effortless. He clearly explained exactly what we needed, prepared all of the paperwork, brought everything to the ceremony (even a copy for my name change), and handled the filing afterward so all we had to do was sign. Throughout the planning process, he was always happy to answer questions and offer thoughtful advice and recommendations whenever we needed them. Most importantly the ceremony felt personal, heartfelt, and authentic, not scripted or rushed. He helped create one of the most meaningful moments of our lives, and so many of our family and friends commented afterward on how wonderful he was. If you’re looking for an officiant who truly cares about your story and creates a ceremony that feels natural, joyful, and unforgettable, Kasey is the person you want standing with you on your wedding day!! Thank you, Kasey, for making our Charleston wedding everything we hoped it would be. We couldn’t have imagined anyone better!!

My BFA in Acting (Boston University) and MFA in Creative Writing (NYU) serve me well.

If Chris is available on your big day, look no further and just book him. We were so unsure of where to turn as we are not religious so we didn't have a preacher but also didn't have any family or friends we could visualize to do our ceremony, which so many people do now (Hire the pro!). I'm so so glad we found him! Chris is great because he does a great non-religious ceremony, under 30 minutes (what we wanted), and is so engaging, funny and easy to work with. Our guests loved our ceremony so much and wondered how we knew him (spoiler alert: we didn't know each other before we booked him for our wedding) because he made our ceremony so personal and told our beautiful love story so masterfully. After speaking with Chris my now husband and I both immediately wanted to move forward with him. After booking we got a somewhat long questionnaire, parts were for both of us to fill out together and we each had other parts that we filled out individually telling our version of our love story in our own words which made for a quite fun ceremony. While the questionnaire was long it was necessary to have the personalized ceremony we both wanted. We were able to meet with him in person when he was in Cincinnati, he also works in NYC, for another wedding and he is such a joy to be around. Once he was done with our ceremony he sent us a draft and we made a few small adjustments but it was PERFECT. Chris also ran our rehearsal and he did amazing organizing everyone and making sure that people knew what they needed to do. The ceremony couldn't have been more perfect on our wedding day, he has great timing, he is funny, engaging and had about 75% of our guests crying by the end. The video of our ceremony gets me misty every time. Thank you again Chris!

I create ceremonies that feel personal, grounded, and true to you: anchoring the energy of your love, honoring your story, and setting a tone that is warm and heartfelt, whether traditional or deeply spiritual. 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. Her calming and healing presence is truly unmatched and SO valued on wedding day. Thank you so much Nicolle for all of your guidance and for being an amazing officiant!!

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.

One of the best services I've ever hired (and best for this industry!) Tiara is such a wonderful professional that really changed my opinions on such services. Her lavish hospitality for her Royal Treatment will make you feel like you're truly Royalty! (Granted you are of your own life, but this service is top tier!) I was skeptical at first and adding another cost on a wedding can feel overwhelming at times, but I truly felt Royal Treatment with Tiara was worth every penny and more! She took us through a process where she really got to know us as a couple, as individuals, and listened attentively to the details of our wedding vision. We could tell right away that she actually cared and was thankful to be chosen by us and to work together. And as she went through her process... we went through some of our favorite moments, and in some ways, fell in love with our love all over again. During wedding planning that love is surely there as we all know, but Tiara has a gift of bringing us back to the best of us and really getting you into those loving positive feelings. It was really cool! Then with the ceremony and planning phases, Tiara was so knowledgable and resourceful. She really could pick up what we were putting down, having a traditional ceremony with a more spiritual feel. She was also versed in all the religious traditions in our area which was really cool; knowledgable and reliable. She knew what we wanted, which made it easier to plan and talk through as we refined it to our exact wishes. Tiara responded quickly, in detail, and helped resolve any small things we asked her help with. She had a wonderful schedule for us to check in and follow through with that made our day of seamless. Our event coordinators and on site coordinators gave very favorable remarks and loved working with her too. The Royal Treatment was easy to work with other vendors. All with a smile and genuine pleasant attitude. Tiara is a wonderful soul and my wife and I truly am so grateful to her and her services. We weren't quite sure what to expect and thought it would be a pre-scripted thing and "oh this money for that", but once we experienced her as a vendor, we may go as far to say she undercharges! Because it was that meaningful, impactful, and such a joy. My wedding day was the happiest moment of my life and it's partly due to how great the Royal Treatment with Tiara is! We we're not disappointed and 100% would recommend her to anyone who needs an officiant. If you're reading this from another part of the world, I would also recommend flying her out; you're day will be so special if you do and you won't regret it one bit! Thank you so much Tiara, and Royal Treatment for witnessing us Tie Our Knot! May everyone who needs you, find you, and get to lavish in your wonderful experience!

Awarded Best of Zola
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!!

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.
