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. ♥

Awarded Best of Zola
We are so pleased with our decision to have Yvonne officiate our wedding! From our first meeting, she greeted us with such bubbly enthusiasm that we felt an instant connection. She took the time to learn about our love story. Her sweet and compassionate nature truly showed as she guided us through the vows, making both us and our guests feel at ease. We received so many compliments on how personal and heartfelt the ceremony was. Yvonne was incredibly helpful throughout the planning process, answering all our questions and checking in with us. We highly recommend her to anyone looking for a joyful and memorable wedding experience!

Tim Greathouse, Ohio Wedding Officiant 

5.0

Canton, OH
  • Offers 10 ceremony types
  • Starts at $150

What’s the right wedding ceremony for a religiously independent couple? A courthouse ceremony is cold, impersonal, and over in a flash. A church ceremony is usually just a long sermon to which your actual ceremony is a sideshow. Pick your poison - a quick, dry affair with no heart, or a long, tedious slog that flies in the face of your worldview. Or... chuck that poison and grab the champagne. I got you, boo! I perform deeply personal, customizable ceremonies for couples who care about the content of their ceremony and want the declaration of their love and commitment to be truly unforgettable. 800+ ceremonies, 500+ rehearsals, 17 years!

Working with Tim was a dream come true! He made the whole process of working together simple and easy to understand. We had fun as a couple answering his questions and he drafted a perfect ceremony that us and our families loved. He came to our rehearsal and made us feel so at ease about the entire process on our wedding day. He also has a wonderful spirit and amazing stage presence. We couldn’t recommend him more! We are so happy he was a part of our special day. Thank you Tim!

We are so happy Danny was our officiant for our wedding. From when we first spoke to Danny about booking him for our wedding we knew we made a great choice. Danny alone has an amazing upbeat friendly personality. My husband and I didn't want a boring officiant or with a monotone delivery. When the wedding date came closer we had a zoom meeting with Danny and talked about how my husband and I met, and the vibe we wanted for the wedding. Now let me tell you, I don't know how I didn't shed a tear during our ceremony, because Danny's words were so heartfelt. I honestly wish I would go back in the time to relive my ceremony.

We only had a few days to get married when I got the ship out date, and she was able to make it work seamlessly, providing everything we needed to make our special day perfect. The officiant was so nice and didn't push her own ideas, but rather made great suggestions that fit our vision.

We didn't give much time to ourselves and our minister to plan a great wedding but once the day came, everything was just perfect. Upon first meeting our minister, she was quick to help get us started and teach us how the ceremony would go. She gave us examples of other wedding ceremonies and told us in her own experiences how people react during their own ceremonies. It honestly helped us to plan the perfect wedding. We never had a rehearsal and there was some last-minute logistics to plan on the wedding day but by the end of it, everything ran smoothly.

David was absolutely amazing — both professional and so personal at the same time! From the very beginning, he walked us through everything, from customizing our ceremony to making sure we knew exactly what to expect on the big day. He took the time to really get to know us, and it showed in every single part of our ceremony. What we loved most is that David somehow feels like both a pro and a friend. He’s organized and experienced, but also warm, kind, and genuinely cares. You never feel like just another client with him — you feel supported, understood, and completely taken care of. He was such a great communicator throughout the whole process — super responsive, always available if we had a question, and just so easy to work with. During the ceremony, he absolutely shined. He spoke clearly and with purpose, enunciating every word so that every guest could hear and feel the meaning behind what he was saying. His timing, tone, and presence were perfect — confident, engaging, and full of heart. We can’t say enough good things about David. Having him as our officiant made our wedding day even more special.

Emerald made our Nigerian elopement unforgettable. She took the time to understand our story and honored the memories of my late father and grandmother so beautifully. Her words were comforting, powerful, and meaningful. From our very first conversation she listened, really listened, to the details about how my husband and I met, the values we wanted to hold in our marriage, and the elements we hoped to include in the ceremony. I love how she even incorporated details that reflected my husband’s Nigerian roots. I’ve been to many weddings before, which are often long, drawn out, and not truly about the couple as they all tend to sound the same, but this ceremony was different. It was personal, heartfelt, and rich with the traditional elements of marriage. Emerald was very friendly, professional, and genuine throughout the entire process. I would gladly recommend her to anyone who wants a ceremony filled with meaning and authenticity.

Our experience with Rev. Dave was honestly a hit from the beginning! His personality is magnetic and you can tell he puts love and intention into the wedding ceremonies that he is a part of. He has different content up his sleeve (you’ll see when you book with him) to truly give you an unforgettable ceremony. Our guests could NOT stop raving about him and all of our guests thought that we had YEARS of personal family connections with him, when in reality we only had a 3-4 planning sessions. One of our close family friends even told my dad that our ceremony was the best ceremony he had ever seen and his daughter just got married (sorry girl!). All i can say is this: when you receive his pricing, DO NOT SKIMP. My (now) husband and i paid for this wedding ourselves, and i do admit that we went with the middle package because of our own hectic schedules and finances, but Rev Dave is WORTH IT ALL. You are (hopefully) only getting married one time, and one of THE best decisions you could make is hiring Rev. Dave!

Michael did a perfect job officiating our wedding. The entire process was so easy. From our initial calls, to working on the script he put together, to helping my now wife with her vows on the wedding day - Michael was so helpful and easy to work with every step of the way. We had an idea of what we wanted in a ceremony, and Michael took our loose ideas and absolutely nailed it. The ceremony he put together for us was absolutely perfect. It felt like he had known us our entire lives. We had several guests ask where we found such a great officiant and comment on what a great job he did. We weren't putting a huge emphasis on our ceremony, as we had always wanted a ceremony on the shorter side, but it ended up being one of the highlights of the day. We'll treasure those moments for the rest of our lives, and Michael is to thank for that. We're absolutely thrilled with Michael & our ceremony and we would recommend him to anyone without a doubt!!

Every part of the ceremony was incredibly intentional. Reverend Phil involved us throughout the entire process, from approving the full script to holding a rehearsal on the grounds to ensure everything would go smoothly. He didn’t just officiate—he genuinely acted as a ceremony coordinator, stepping in when needed (including when the wind unexpectedly knocked over and broke our glass vases) and handling it all with calm and care.

Matt is my brother and my husband and I chose him to officiate our wedding, not only because he is family, but because we wanted it to feel more personal rather than a generic wedding ceremony speech from the officiant. I always knew my brother was good with words and could speak in front of a crowd, but he truly exceeded our expectations to give us the most memorable ceremony we could have asked for. His speech was the perfect mix of lighthearted jokes, love, personal stories from our relationship, and information and feelings from my husband and I. He truly captured the essence of love and what it means to commit yourself to someone else for the rest of your life. Our guests still cannot stop talking about how great Matt was, even 6 months after the wedding!

My Grandfather was one of the first people in my life to hand me a microphone, and I have found myself holding one ever since. My name is Kaitlin, and I go by The Resonant Officiant. To “resonate” means to “ produce or be filled with a deep, full, reverberating sound” and my goal is to co-create a ceremony that leaves both the guests and the couple with a sense of connection, hope, and lasting memory. Our ancestors were deeply rooted in ritual practices, and while those exact rituals may not fit quite the same as they once did, they brought people together as a strengthened unit - a sense of belonging all beings deserve to experience.

Kait takes the time to listen and learn about you and your significant other. With that she wrote a very fun heartfelt funny loving set of vows for us. She was open to all our ideas while giving suggestions to help make our ceremony extra special and she did. I wouldn’t change a thing!

Rev. Dennis M. Wargo was great throughout the entire wedding planning process. He was easy to get in touch with, explained everything in great detail, and allowed us to customize our ceremony as we pleased. As a retired catholic priest, he was able to mimic a catholic ceremony for us outside at our venue, which is something very rare but very important for our families. The day of the ceremony, he was prompt, helped to ease our worries, and provided us with the best ceremony that we could imagine. Our family still talks about how much they loved our ceremony. I would highly recommend Rev. Dennis and his team to anyone getting married

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.
