I’ve known Norman (and the newlyweds) for years, and watching him lead the ceremony was truly amazing. I had the pleasure of being a bridesmaid, and they honestly couldn’t have picked a better officiant! He made everything feel so warm and personal, heartfelt, and even a little fun! He gave us smiles, he gave us laughs, and he perfectly captured the couple’s personalities. Weddings can be hectic and stressful, but he made sure that on the big day they were calm, confident, and completely at ease in front of everyone. It was very natural, very organic, and I loved that. The ceremony flowed beautifully, and so many of us were smiling, laughing, and even tearing up at the perfect moments. The bridesmaids cried, the groomsmen cried, we all cried. But it was all happy tears, such a beautiful thing to be apart of! We all had such a great time, and you could just tell how much thought and care he put into making their day special. If you want someone who’s professional, warm, and makes the whole experience unforgettable, someone who’s going to reflect on your personalities and your journey as a couple, and someone to really move and make your guests feel that love in the atmosphere, Norman is the man to call! You surely won’t regret it.

The Resonant Officiant 

5.0

Clayton, NJ
  • Offers 9 ceremony types
  • Starts at $200
  • Serves New Jersey

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.

Awarded Best of Zola
Kaitlin, the officiant from The Resonant Officiant, was a true professional and pleasure to work with. Her communication style was collaborative, clear and authentic, which put us at ease throughout the entire process. The quality of her work was excellent, as she thoughtfully crafted a personalized ceremony that felt both meaningful and precise. When unexpected challenges arose, like the windy conditions that threatened to blow out our unity candles, Kaitlin seamlessly adjusted her script to keep the moment authentic and special. She also provided invaluable guidance and support, helping me with my vows when public speaking made me nervous. Kaitlin's warm personality, attention to detail, and genuine care for creating a memorable ceremony have left a lasting impression on us, even years later. We highly recommend The Resonant Officiant to any couple looking for an officiant who will make their wedding day truly unforgettable.

As the heart behind Meaningful Ceremonies in Highland Park, NJ, Bobbie is known for crafting wedding experiences that feel deeply personal, beautifully human, and effortlessly authentic. Custom-crafted wedding ceremonies Vow writing support Elopements and intimate gatherings Renewal of vows Guidance in creating meaningful rituals If you’re seeking an officiant who brings heart, artistry, and genuine care to your wedding day, Bobbie Ellis offers a ceremony experience that truly honors the journey you are beginning together.

Awarded Best of Zola
From our very first conversation with Bobbie, we knew we had found someone special. She didn’t just “officiate” our wedding — she listened deeply to who we are, what matters to us, and the story we wanted to tell. Working alongside her really felt like a collaborative, heart-centered experience. Bobbie’s presence on the day was calming, elegant, and grounded. She handled the details — paperwork, timing, transitions — with ease and grace, which freed us up to stay wholly present with each other and our guests. Our ceremony felt authentically us, from the vows to the subtle touches of ritual that she gently guided us toward. One of the things that impressed us most: Bobbie offered creative suggestions and coaching that we didn’t even know we needed: gentle nudges, big ideas, warm encouragement. She gave us confidence and space to shape something meaningful, rather than just going through a template. We still hear compliments from friends and family about how moving and “just right” the service was. If you’re looking for an officiant who brings both professional reliability (on time, thorough, organized) and soulful presence (deeply attentive, creative, kind) — Bobbie is exactly who you want. Choosing her felt like a sign. We’d absolutely choose her again, and can’t recommend her enough.

We had the absolute pleasure of working with Lydia for our wedding.

They sent us a ceremony packet with tons of options for all parts of our ceremony. We selected what resonated with us the most and even added in things we wanted mentioned. Lydia got us a ceremony draft within a day of us sending our packet back. She made any edits we requested in so quickly as well! On the day of our wedding, Lydia showed up on time and even did a run through with our bridal party prior to our ceremony. Lydia is such a genuinely nice person and has a lovely presence and speaking voice. So many of our guests came up to us afterwards and said how nice the ceremony was! We are so grateful we booked with Love and Light!

Rainbow Ministries specializes in inclusive and LGBTQ+ weddings. Our mission is to provide a safe space for all walks of life. We focus on a couple-centered approach with custom scripts, while respecting all belief systems. We will create a beautiful ceremony together that truly reflects you as a couple.

Finding the right officiant for our wedding was a journey, especially as an LGBT couple. We wanted someone who truly understood us, not just a random person to perform the ceremony. When we met Carrie, we immediately knew she was the perfect fit! Carrie brought so much joy and thoughtfulness to our special day. Her speech was beautifully crafted, reflecting the essence of our relationship. During our pre-meeting, she really took the time to understand us as individuals and as a couple, ensuring that the ceremony felt personal and meaningful. I also want to mention that my wife and I aren't the best at keeping up with things, but Carrie kept us on track (without making us feel bad lol) and ensured we completed everything necessary for her to do her part. She even came for a rehearsal, making sure we all knew where to be and what to expect. Carrie brought her own personality to the event without overshadowing our special moments. It’s rare for guests to comment on an officiant, but we received so many compliments about Carrie! She truly made our wedding unforgettable. We can’t recommend her enough!

She gave our guests a beautiful explanation of our love for each other, and included a “couple therapy-esque” meeting to get to know us before the wedding, and ended in me having happy tears expressing my love towards my husband during such a stressful time. She gets a 10 out of 10 from us! Make sure you book her for your upcoming wedding!

No one wants to see a wedding ceremony they’ve seen a dozen times! We blend words, experiences, and emotions into a beautifully crafted ceremony expressing you perfectly. It will be funny. It will be moving. Close to perfect; far from boring! It will be a little unexpected and perhaps a little traditional, but it will be totally you.

Awarded Best of Zola
When I started wedding planning, searching for an officiant was one of the top most daunting tasks purely because I didn't have any idea where to start. Our parents had gotten married in a church or temple and a lot of other non-denominational weddings we had been to had a friend or family member officiate - not something we were super keen on doing ourselves since we met in a speech and debate club in high school and wanted someone similarly comfortable with public speaking from go. I found Celia Milton via The Knot and I'm so glad I did. She was immediately very responsive to our inquiry and when we had our initial call with her over the phone we knew she would bring the right tone and energy to our ceremony. Celia has years of experience under her belt and it really shows in the ceremony she helped pull together. We had so many guests come up to us after the ceremony to rave about how it was one of the best ceremonies they had been to because it was able to strike so many different tones - funny and lighthearted, emotional and contemplative - in just thirty minutes. On top of that, Celia helped make the script personal to us and our journey together as a couple, which included a traditional handfasting and having our grandparents do guest readings. All in all, the ceremony she gave flowed so well and struck all the beats we wanted it to, which I think made it especially special for both us and our guests. I also want to mention it was so helpful having Celia in our corner given her many years of experience. She just knows weddings and knows a lot of wedding people! She pointed us in the direction of our cinematographer for example and otherwise gave a ton of great advice on other aspects of wedding planning personally over email and via her New Jersey Weddings Podcast which I listened to. That sort of experience really put me at ease that I had somebody to lean back on during wedding planning who has seen it all. Tl;dr - Our wedding ceremony was perfect and it was perfect especially because Celia Milton was our officiant. I cannot recommend her enough for the amount of amazing energy she brought to the planning process and the fact that the final product was just amazing down to the little touches. Thank you Celia!

Founded by Annette Panasiuk, an ordained minister and award-winning officiant since 2012, the business is known for crafting heartfelt, customized ceremonies that reflect each couple’s unique love story.

Although this review comes six years later, the impact of our wedding officiant has never faded. Life happens, but some people leave such a lasting impression that time simply doesn’t erase it—and she is one of those people. From premarital counseling to our wedding day and even thoughtful follow-ups afterward, she was nothing short of exceptional. Her guidance was genuine, her presence was calming and affirming, and she truly cared—not just about the ceremony, but about us as a couple and our marriage as a whole. What stands out most is her heart. She is for everyone. There isn’t a single prejudiced or discriminatory bone in her body, and in a world where inclusivity truly matters, she embodied that long before it became a buzzword. She made us feel seen, respected, and supported every step of the way. If God allows us the blessing of renewing our vows one day, she will be our first and only choice—without hesitation. Thank you for being such a beautiful part of our journey. I’m forever grateful, and I hope you know how deeply appreciated you are.

I enjoy working with couples to create your perfect ceremony. I love to meet, in person or virtually, so you can share your story, and you get to know me a little so it feels like you're getting married by a friend.

Ceremonies by Vanessa LLC was an amazing choice for our wedding officiant. From the very first conversation, Vanessa communicated with us in a warm and professional manner. She took the time to fully understand everything we wanted included in our ceremony, and then executed it flawlessly. The little details she incorporated, like our special readings, made the ceremony feel truly tailored to us. Vanessa's expertise and attention to detail resulted in a wedding ceremony that was above and beyond our expectations. We are so grateful to Vanessa for helping make our special day perfect.
