The Resonant Officiant

  • Serves Shamong, NJ

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.

“Kaitlin, the officiant from The Resonant Officiant, was a true professional and pleasure to work with. Her communication style was collaborative, clear and authentic, which put us at ease throughout the entire process. The quality of her work was excellent, as she thoughtfully crafted a personalized ceremony that felt both meaningful and precise. When unexpected challenges arose, like the windy conditions that threatened to blow out our unity candles, Kaitlin seamlessly adjusted her script to keep the moment authentic and special. She also provided invaluable guidance and support, helping me with my vows when public speaking made me nervous. Kaitlin's warm personality, attention to detail, and genuine care for creating a memorable ceremony have left a lasting impression on us, even years later. We highly recommend The Resonant Officiant to any couple looking for an officiant who will make their wedding day truly unforgettable.”

Every love story is entirely unique, written in a dynamic language that belongs solely to the two people living it.

My journey into becoming an officiant started with a simple realization: couples want a ceremony that genuinely reflects who they are, their shared values, and the journey that brought them together.

“Sara is perfect officiant for any type of ceremony. She truly takes the time to tell your story beautifully and cater to your vision. I could relive my wedding day a hundred times and never think twice about hiring Sara.

We focus on a couple-centered approach with custom scripts, while respecting all belief systems. We will create a beautiful ceremony together that truly reflects you as a couple.

“Finding the right officiant for our wedding was a journey, especially as an LGBT couple. We wanted someone who truly understood us, not just a random person to perform the ceremony. When we met Carrie, we immediately knew she was the perfect fit! Carrie brought so much joy and thoughtfulness to our special day. Her speech was beautifully crafted, reflecting the essence of our relationship. During our pre-meeting, she really took the time to understand us as individuals and as a couple, ensuring that the ceremony felt personal and meaningful. I also want to mention that my wife and I aren't the best at keeping up with things, but Carrie kept us on track (without making us feel bad lol) and ensured we completed everything necessary for her to do her part. She even came for a rehearsal, making sure we all knew where to be and what to expect. Carrie brought her own personality to the event without overshadowing our special moments. It’s rare for guests to comment on an officiant, but we received so many compliments about Carrie! She truly made our wedding unforgettable. We can’t recommend her enough!”

Most couples remember their wedding in pieces. The ceremony is the part people talk about at the reception. I’m Mike, an ordained minister since 2016, and every ceremony I write starts with your story — how you met, the moment it became real, the people who made you who you are. You fill out a short questionnaire, and I turn your exact words into a ceremony that’s warm, funny, and tender, with no generic filler and no “just kiss the bride.” From backyard elopements to 200-guest weddings on Long Beach Island, I serve couples across the Jersey Shore, Monmouth and Ocean counties, and beyond. Your guests will feel like they know you better by the time you say “I do.”

“Mike went above and beyond to make our ceremony truly special. He wrote beautiful, personalized vows that beautifully told the story of how my fiancé and I met. Hearing our unique journey woven into the ceremony was incredibly heartwarming—it felt intimate, authentic, and perfectly “us.” Guests were visibly moved, and people were still talking about the ceremony for days afterward at the reception and beyond. It became one of the most memorable parts of our wedding. What stood out most was how carefully he listened to us. He took the time to understand our story and our preferences, and he was completely open and responsive to every addition or change we requested for the script. Nothing felt rushed or cookie-cutter; everything was thoughtfully tailored. I would wholeheartedly recommend him to any couple looking for an officiant who genuinely cares, listens, and creates a ceremony that feels personal and unforgettable. Thank you Mike for helping make our day so meaningful!”

“James (Jimmy) McCusker from The Vow & Seal was amazing in every way! From our first conversation, we appreciated how clear and confident he was in explaining everything we needed to know about our ceremony. He had a wonderful ability to make our wedding feel intimate even though we had over 200 guests, and everyone felt connected to what was happening. His work was outstanding and he made us feel heard throughout the whole planning process. Jimmy was easy to understand and made the entire experience feel special. We couldn't have asked for a better officiant for our big day.”

Katherine Hunter is a wedding officiant based in the Lehigh Valley of eastern Pennsylvania. She has specialized in custom, (mostly) non-religious wedding ceremonies since 2017. A long-time LGBTQ ally, she joyfully celebrates all love!

“Katherine was the officiant for a wedding celebration that I photographed in December at the Folino Estate. Katherine was very easy to work with during the day and made sure to communicate clearly before the ceremony about where they would be, and any special moments I should be aware of. Their kindness and attention to detail was evident through out the entirety of their time with the couple!”
