About Married by Miller

Married by Miller

Founder and Lead Officiant

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.

I'm a secular, feminist millennial . My ceremonies are all about you, just the way your wedding day should be. I know I've done well when your family are convinced I've known you for years after they soak in the ceremony - because I aim to feel like your friend, not like a third parent. I want the process of creating your ceremony to be as fun, easy and stress free as possible for you, and I'm available to help nearly 24/7. I also have a curated library of readings and traditions I shared with all my couples to help inspire your ceremony plans and save you some Google searches!

In three words: Collaborative, Fun, Organized

    I could not say enough good things about her! We asked for a non-religious, sweet ceremony with a dash of humor and she exceeded our expectations! Joanna speaks very eloquently, she is clearly a very talented public speaker and writer. She continues to be of guidance even after our wedding and is even going to perform my MIL's ceremony!

    Joanna has been a dream to work with! We didn't really know what we wanted our ceremony to look like without the religious framing to guide us. She is so knowledgeable and helpful, and she guided us in figuring out what would work best for us. Can't recommend highly enough!

    In every aspect of the process, from the interview to the drafting of the ceremony text to the execution of the event, we felt respected and valued as collaborators. We highly recommend her, especially if you're looking for someone to work with you to create a custom ceremony!

    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.
