Flushing, NY
  • Offers 9 ceremony types
  • Starts at $800

I am your guests' favorite thing about your wedding. Since 2011, I've been writing and performing personal, meaningful and refreshingly engaging ceremonies for couples just like you and couples who are nothing like you. Couples work with me with an easy, collaborative process during which I become your favorite part of wedding planning. I take guest experience and your wishes very seriously. Your families will thank you for getting somebody who makes the ceremony light while still making clear how beautiful it is that you found each other. I officiate all over the US.

From the moment we first spoke with Chris from Illuminating Ceremonies, we knew we were in good hands. His communication style was positive, funny, and caring, putting us at ease right away. On the day of our wedding, Chris was reliable, thoughtful, and enthusiastic, ensuring the ceremony was clear and professional. He made us laugh and feel completely comfortable, and we truly felt like he was part of our family rather than just the officiant. Chris went above and beyond to make our special day perfect, and we are so grateful we chose him to be a part of our wedding. We couldn't imagine our experience without him.

Miami, FL

Hi! I’m Danny! A wedding officiant who believes your ceremony should be the heart of your wedding day — personal, joyful, and true to your love story. Whether you’re dreaming of a meaningful, story-driven ceremony, something short & sweet, or a little in between — I’m here to guide you, support you, and create a ceremony you’ll remember forever.

If you don’t follow Danny on social media, I encourage you to do so because you’re able to get a great idea of how he is with people, as well as the sincerity, joy, and love he brings through with his officiating. Danny met with my then-fiance and me in the weeks before our ceremony, to get to know us better and learn more about what makes us, “Us.” On the day of the wedding, he did a phenomenal job during our ceremony to convey the depth of emotion, and the strength in our relationship. He was eloquent yet down to earth, caring, and kind. Many guests commented afterward (and still do to this day!) about how beautifully he'd performed our ceremony; our story is an emotional one and Danny captured the essence of us so well. Thank you SO much, Danny. It would not have been the same without you!!

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. ♥

The ceremony was spectacular. She reached out to us to talk beforehand, and everything she said was truly beautiful. We had a reference from someone else, and we can confidently and wholeheartedly recommend her services. It’s clear that she loves what she does.

Vernon Rockville, CT

Why settle for the same clichéd, predictable service everyone else uses? You're unique, and your wedding should be, too. I'll work with you to design the perfect ceremony to match your own individual style and personality.

A few hours after my husband and I got engaged, I asked him, "What if we just had a super tiny wedding and got married in a week?" Cue a mad scramble to find an officiant, photographer, and venue. We had already spoken to one potential officiant who didn't ask us any questions or tell us what he was planning to do—not great—so when our photographer recommended Dave, we were thrilled he was available. When we met up over Zoom to talk, it was clear he's very smart and funny, and loves love without being mushy about it. He crafted a ceremony that was short and sweet, complete with a reading that was a great match for us. I loved that he sent us the full script with free rein to adjust it to our liking. I, an endless word-fusser, only made one small change. On the day, he was already laughing with our witnesses when we arrived, and it set the scene so beautifully for us to have a joyful, laid back ceremony. It was perfect. He's happy to provide ideas but really wants the ceremony to work for you as a couple. He'll talk about his outfit options for you to choose from. (We went with a navy suit but he has a rad hot pink one too if that fits your vision. I suspect he would gamely wear an Iron Man costume or KISS makeup if that were your dream.) That open thoughtfulness extends to whatever kind of ceremony you want—big or small, religious or secular, traditional or offbeat. Zero judgment, just a steady stream of smart questions, good ideas, and caring support. And he writes the best emails. I haven't laughed that hard or felt so sparklingly clever in writing in years.

Exactly what's in that mix is more up to the clients than anybody else. It can include sacred religious moments like blessing the couple or fasting their hands, science fiction elements like a Bajoran blessing, time-honored traditions such as breaking a glass, and remembering loved ones who are no longer with us.

Hi, I'm K - and I can't wait to meet you. I believe your wedding ceremony should be uniquely yours and one you feel proud of. As a wedding officiant, I specialize in crafting custom ceremonies that are playful, joyful, and deeply sentimental—bringing laughter and heartfelt moments to your big day.

K was an absolute DREAM to work with! K was our marriage officiant, and she made everything easy for us. She was incredibly kind and thoughtful, while also being a gifted writer who was able to share my and my husband’s love for each other during the ceremony. She interviewed my husband and I separately to get our thoughts on our relationship, and then put together the most wonderful ceremony for us, using the same communication style we used. We had many people tell us it was one of the best wedding ceremonies they had heard. She included so many details about our relationship that were meaningful to us. She helped us decide on things like how we wanted to be announced at the end of the ceremony and other things we hadn’t even thought about, so all of the “smaller” details were special to us, too. The picture I'm including shows how much we enjoyed the ceremony she put together! On the administrative side, she walked us through how to get a marriage certificate, and after the wedding, handled sending it in for us. Also, when she had an emergency come up and wasn’t able to attend our rehearsal, she was insistent on lowering her fee, since we originally planned for her to be there. It was unnecessary, as we understood things happen, but she insisted. Just another example of how wonderful and fair a person she is to work with. I can’t imagine anyone else having made our ceremony as special for us as K did.

Further with travel fees though. By the time you've reached my page, you may have prepared yourself and have researched (or still are) to find the right Wedding Officiant. It's my professional job to make your wedding as stress free as possible. I enjoy adventure elopements and large elegant weddings. When you decide to hire a Pro, you probably want someone with empathy that understands what you're looking for. Your ceremony will be thoughtfully created and not boring.

We had our dream adventure elopement on 6/9/25 at Roan Mountain on the TN border. Josh created a ceremony that was personal and beautifully written just for us. To say that he went "above and beyond" is an understatement. He was so much more than "just an officiant." He was amazing! Helpful from start to finish in every way imaginable (from music, to hair, to props, pics, and more) ! He is personable, easy to get along with, and downright funny! There needs to be an option for more than 5 stars because he deserves every single one! Recommend 10/10!

Rabbi Astrachan was an absolute pleasure to work with from the very first meeting. Rabbi insisted that we have several meetings prior to the wedding so he could really know and understand us. By doing this, he made the wedding very personable and enjoyable to our guests and us. We received so many compliments of how amazing the ceremony was. It was truly unforgettable and the best part of our wedding!! Additionally, Rabbi Astrachan made us feel very comfortable as a same-sex couple and inter-religious couple. In addition to the wedding, Rabbi went above and beyond and wrote a very personable and thorough letter to the embassy to assist with my husband's green card and visa process.

She sent us a thoughtful questionnaire beforehand, which allowed her to craft personalized vows that truly reflected our relationship. Not only was her presence warm and caring, but even her outfit complemented our beach-themed celebration beautifully, adding to the overall magic of the day. We wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone looking for an officiant — she was, without a doubt, the best!

Vanessa was absolutely outstanding and made our wedding day SO incredibly special and magical. We will forever cherish how seamless she made the whole process during the planning, rehearsal and the ceremony itself on the day of. Her communication was outstanding the entire time and she was extremely organized throughout the whole process. Vanessa met with us whenever we needed/ wanted, set up a wedding workshop with us, set up a Google doc for the script of the ceremony, answered text messages or phone calls in a very timely manner and made sure everything was perfectly planned out as we dreamed of. Vanessa was diligent, did not skip a beat and helped with every detail of our wedding ceremony. Vanessa helped coordinate with all of our vendors, including our DJ for the ceremony music, our photographer and our venue to make sure everything went exactly as planned. It was such a beautiful day and we could not be happier to have been married by Vanessa, who will now be our lifelong friend. Vanessa has a bubbly personality and is so caring. I wouldn’t have wanted anyone else to effectively share our love story with our friends and family. She put together our love story so beautifully and she was so attentive on the day of our wedding to both the bride and the groom. We 10/10 recommend Vanessa and CNY magical weddings to be your officiant, they will not disappoint and it is the moments with your officiant that you will never forget!!!

Love Your Moment

As times have changed so has the face of religion. We have learned that you can be spiritual without being religious and, at the end of the day, all any of us truly want is to give love and receive Love. So what better service could we offer but to be the person on your wedding day to put the words of love and commitment into your ceremony so that you will Love Your Moment.

Where to even begin… Lisa was amazing from our very first phone call! She made was feel comfortable and accepted. We were worried that we would have a hard time finding an officiant willing to marry us in Texas, given we are gay, and Lisa not only calmed our nerves but wrote a ceremony embodying “Love is Love.” We also chose to do a tequila shot with a pickle back and were pleasantly surprised with how well she incorporated that into our ceremony with quirky analogies. The entire evening our guests kept telling us that this was the best ceremony they have ever heard. If only we could use Love Your Moment for more than just a wedding… we would book them 10000% of the time! Do yourself a favor and book them for your special day!

We had the pleasure of meeting Sam (Samantha) at a friend’s wedding, and from the moment we encountered her, we were struck by her phenomenal charisma and warmth. When it came time to choose an officiant for our own wedding, we immediately thought of Sam, and we couldn't have made a better choice. She was not only incredibly helpful throughout the planning process but also shared valuable tips that truly guided us. Sam took the time to understand our style and made sure our ceremony reflected who we are as a couple. Her genuine care and support made us feel like she was part of our family. Throughout the entire process, Sam was organized and professional, consistently checking in with us to ensure everything was on track. Thanks to Sam’s calming presence and talent, our ceremony was absolutely amazing. She helped us stay focused on the beautiful moments we were there to celebrate, allowing us to truly enjoy every second of it. We are so grateful for her and couldn’t have asked for a more compassionate and talented officiant to share in our special day.

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.
