He incorporated all of it so beautifully into our ceremony, making it feel deeply personal, meaningful, and unforgettable.

His experience, calming presence, and genuine care made all the difference. He guided us through the process with ease, offered thoughtful suggestions, and delivered a ceremony that felt uniquely “us” — heartfelt, joyful, and filled with love. Danny set the perfect tone for our wedding day, and we can't imagine it being any more perfect.

Mesquite, TX

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. ♥

Our marriage ceremony was blessed and made very special by Yvonne! She truly cares about the couples she helps unite, and is willing to go the extra mile (like for us when it rained) She was so patient and kind with my son who was struggling that day due to ASD. Her momma heart showed and helped smooth the bumps out. Her words that she shared in the ceremony, showed careful and Holy Spirit led dedication and planning. And her love for Jesus shined bright which is everything needed on our very special day! We are grateful that God led us to her and would highly recommend her services!

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.

The comfort and ease that Dave brought to the wedding with his reassuring, “I’ve got this, whatever you want, it’s your wedding” attitude was exactly what an anxious bride needed. We are not a religious couple, nor are we especially romantic, but we still wanted a traditional, classic ceremony. That balance was perfectly achieved because Dave actively listens to his clients and offers a variety of unique options. I cannot overstate how much overthinking and stressing I did about every other aspect of the wedding, but I was so relaxed and confident that the ceremony would be perfect, and I was right. Over a year later my husband and I still talk about how the ceremony was the best part of the night. If you’re looking for an officiant who will come to you with an open mind, no judgement, and genuine care, there is no better person than David Lang.

Terence Ward, the founder of Weddings in the Gunks, believes that everyone deserves to have this important moment in their story celebrated with a healthy mix of dignity and joy. 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.

Terence is fabulous! My husband and I got married with a surprise elopement on New Year's Eve in 2021, and Terence acted with such professionalism and discretion (which was appreciated, hence the surprise). Planning/coordinating was easy - he was quick to communicate with/respond to us about details regarding the ceremony, which was wildly helpful, as we planned our elopement just 1 month in advance! My husband and I were very nervous before our ceremony, and Terence's warm, friendly demeanor helped us feel more comfortable and at ease. I would definitely recommend Terence's officiant services to other couples. Whether you're planning a traditional ceremony or a simple elopement, he'll do a great job for you!

My name is Julie and I am happy to have officiated over 200 weddings, all over the United States, in the past 15 years. I have a casual and uplifting style. My goal is to make my couples feel comfortable and craft a ceremony for them that reflects their relationship. I am happy to accommodate any of my couple’s wishes. I write all of my ceremonies, and they are all customized to my couples. I am also able to offer a quick elopement if that is your preference. Having two locations makes it easy for me to cover a large area of ceremonies in Colorado, and I am always happy to travel. I am honored to be a part of my couple’s stories.

As a planner with nearly 10 years of experience in the wedding industry, I have seen thousands of ceremonies with countless officiants. Julie is the absolute best of them all. Not once in the many times I have worked with her have I made it through even half of a ceremony with a dry eye because of the sincerity behind her words for the couple. Every ceremony is customized to fit the couple’s personality, values and story and it shines through in the ceremonies Julie officiates. By the time Julie leaves on your wedding day, she will feel like family - that’s what you really want in the person leading you through one of the most special moments of your life, not just someone hired to read a script. I always say she’s sunshine in human form because she has a way of just lighting up a wedding day. If all of that isn’t enough to convince you, know that as a wedding planner myself I could have had anyone officiate my wedding day and the very first person I asked to be part of my day…was Julie.

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.

Joshua Maples Wedding Officiant was the perfect choice for our wedding ceremony. From the moment we first spoke with him, his communication style was responsive, clear, friendly and even humorous at times, putting us completely at ease. The quality of his work and the value he provided was truly invaluable - he was like the Chick-fil-A of all officiants, delivering a Hallmark-worthy performance. Joshua went above and beyond, rehearsing and coordinating the entire event seamlessly. He even took us out for beautiful golden hour sunset photos, assisted with when to cut the cake and the dancing, and even stepped in as our DJ and poured the champagne. Joshua also helped us obtain our marriage license and is returning it for us since our wedding was on a short weekend. We didn't just get the officiant we wanted, we got the one we needed. I would book Joshua Maples 1 million percent for any wedding ceremony.

We were blessed to have Ashton perform our wedding ceremony and legally marry us to each other. Not only was the ceremony everything I could have dreamed for, there was humor, there was sentiment, and there was a lot of love that day! Leading up to our wedding Ash was incredibly easy to work with, he answered all of my question in an extremely fast manner, his communication was top notch, and he truly cared to make our ceremony as special as our love! For the ceremony and reception we used bishop weddings music attendant service which was FLAWLESS! The music seemed to flow from the heavens and rather speakers! They seriously set us up for such a lovely day!

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.
