Washington, DC
  • Offers 8 ceremony types
  • Starts at $450

Joanna is a writer, performer, and experienced officiant who marries couples of all backgrounds within 100 miles of Washington, DC. Raised in a multi-faith home and having lived abroad, she loves weaving cultural and religious traditions into ceremonies. (Don't worry, they're still mostly secular and feminist!) Joanna had an elopement, a formal wedding, and a separate reception—so she truly gets it! She’s ordained through AMM and ULC, trained in the Business of Officiating, and is a member of IAPWO. In off hours, she walks her rescue dog, Corrigan, reads or sings. She can’t wait to help you create a celebration that feels just right.

Joanna set the tone for our wedding with the most incredible, personal, custom ceremony that took into account the traditions that mattered to us and left out everything else. It so far surpassed any of our expectations, and made our guests laugh and cry. She is clearly deeply passionate about her work, and is incredibly knowledgeable and prepared. We felt so at ease working with her at every step of the way.

K Scarry Officiant Services 

5.0

  • Offers 10 ceremony types
  • Starts at $500
  • Serves Washington, DC

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.

Our experience with ExchangingRings.com was truly outstanding. Rabbi Astrachan was kind, thoughtful, witty, and warm throughout our entire interaction.
