Thinking about having your good friend officiate your big day for you, but unsure of how they will do? Well what if your good friend was a professional with over 2,300 weddings under their belt? That's the best way to describe what we shoot for at MBE ... being the good friend that definitely knows what to do when the moment counts! Whether you plan to have an intimate elopement ceremony or if you've been working on your dream wedding for months, we'd love to help you make your day one to truly remember. Our goals are to help you decide exactly what you want to do on your big day and to do everything we can to make it come to life!

One of the most complimented parts of our entire wedding day was our ceremony, and that’s all thanks to our incredible officiant, Evan. From the beginning, we knew we wanted a ceremony that felt meaningful and personal, and Evan delivered that and so much more. He met with us ahead of time, walked us through everything, and really took the time to understand our story. When the big day came, he absolutely nailed it. He shared our love story in such a heartfelt and light-hearted way, beautifully weaving in some of my favorite scripture. There was laughter, happy tears, and so much joy…he truly set the tone for the rest of the day, and helped calm my nerves more than he probably realized. To top it all off, Evan is a true jack of all trades, his company also offers bartending services! Right after the ceremony, he jumped behind the bar and kept the good vibes going. So many of our guests told us how much they enjoyed chatting with him and how great the service was. If you're looking for someone who can do it all,and do it with heart….Evan is your guy.

Hi, I’m Carla, a legally authorized wedding officiant based in the Washington D.C. area. I’m all about creating moments that feel genuine and joyful. While I primarily serve the District of Columbia, Maryland, Virginia, and West Virginia, I’m always up for an adventure. I’m passport ready and happy to travel wherever love takes you. For couples coming from out of town, I can help set up your elopement, connect you with trusted local vendors, and guide you through the marriage license process so everything feels smooth and stress-free.

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.

I am not an affectionate person. I was not looking forward to being put on display in front of 200 people to get married. But I did know that K would help me get through it. K was our officiant for our Wedding in 2019 and I couldn’t have asked for a better person. As a family friend, I knew K could give us the ceremony we wanted, and boy did she deliver. We wanted spiritual but not religious, we wanted special but not cheesy, and most of all we wanted someone calm, cool, and collected like K. From the blessings before dinner to the entire ceremony she made everyone feel welcome and loved. I honestly think I looked more at K than my now husband during the ceremony because I was so nervous. K has a genuine presence that makes everyone feel included, important, and at ease. She has a calmness about her that is infectious and makes you want to be a better person. I can’t recommend K’s services enough! No matter your event, whether it be a celebration or a time of need, K will provide that beacon of light to help you get through it.

Rev. Elle Sojourner is a Certified Life Cycle Celebrant™, Teacher, and Author. As the owner of Spirit Fire Life Ceremonies, she crafts rituals and ceremonies for regular folks with extraordinary souls.

Elle delights in life’s joys, including her son, turtle, and dog. And she keeps her cup full with nature, music, laughter, and dance.

My husband and I were lucky enough to have our April 2024 wedding officiated by Elle at spirit fire life. As we are an interfaith couple; we wanted someone who would not mind incorporating spiritual beliefs into our ceremony keeping this in mind. We reached out to Elle a couple months ahead of our wedding and she encouraged us to set up a zoom call with her to figure out if she would be the right fit for wedding day. Well, we were so impressed from the start on everything that she brought to our call that we immediately emailed her following our discovery call to book her services. Throughout the process, Elle was kind, collaborative, and extremely professional. She was patient with us getting information to her and provided great resources to help us throughout the wedding planning process that I quite frankly never thought about. She continued to be a guiding light throughout our planning process and suggested we meet to talk through my thoughts regarding our unity ceremony. On our call she so eloquently stated something along the lines of: “sometimes it’s easier to have someone else make a decision for you when you are making so many of them.” As a result, I am positive our unity ceremony was perfectly executed thanks to Elle. She brought this level of poise and professionalism to our wedding ceremony and made our day even more wonderful than I ever could have anticipated! We are so grateful that we were able to have Elle as a member of our wedding day team.

Father David is a wedding officiant based in the Washington metropolitan area. Father David is there to help curate the perfect ceremony that fits your vision and your faith, while offering a modern and authentic experience.

My partner and I are a same-sex couple who both come from Catholic backgrounds. Although we decided to have a garden ceremony and not a church ceremony, it was important for our families to feel at home. Our initial ask of Fr. David was not to officiate our ceremony (because we had a courthouse ceremony also planned), but to deliver a homily. However, over time, my and my partner's plans expanded slightly to include other aspects of a traditional Catholic wedding (blessings for the parents and godparents, the cord ceremony, etc.). Fr. David was more than accommodating and so supportive throughout our journey. With his support and understanding, we felt very comfortable incorporating these aspects of tradition that mean so much to us and our families, while still making the ceremony uniquely our own. He is so gentle, encouraging, and warm, and strikes the perfect balance between signifying authority given the importance of the occasion, and providing commentary to elicit laughter. We feel very blessed for Fr. David to be a significant part of our special day!
