Mesquite, TX

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
Our marriage ceremony was blessed and made very special by Yvonne! She truly cares about the couples she helps unite, and is willing to go the extra mile (like for us when it rained) She was so patient and kind with my son who was struggling that day due to ASD. Her momma heart showed and helped smooth the bumps out. Her words that she shared in the ceremony, showed careful and Holy Spirit led dedication and planning. And her love for Jesus shined bright which is everything needed on our very special day! We are grateful that God led us to her and would highly recommend her services!

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!

Tim was GREAT to work with. That hair! That website! Need I say more? Tim had the best ceremony planned for us and executed it perfectly. We are just super happy we went with him - he got back to us right away and was flexible when we hadn't decided on all the details yet. Tim is fun, kind, and, knew when to pop out of the way for pics and when to stay in them. Lol! We highly recommend him to any couple looking for an amazing wedding officiant!

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!

Awarded Best of Zola
Having Evan officiate our wedding was one of the BEST decisions that we made during the wedding planning process. Conor and I settled on the Gold Wedding Service which included a fully customized ceremony that absolutely exceeded our and our guests expectations. Several guests asked if he was a personal friend of ours and almost EVERYONE we talked to commented on how our ceremony was beautiful, thoughtful, and personalized. We even had a few comments saying it was one of the best, most engaging ceremonies they have witnessed. From the moment we first met with Evan, he was incredibly professional and very clear that he was there for us, to help us plan the ceremony of our dreams. Meeting with him helped us remember that while all the details of a wedding are important, it is a day to celebrate our unique love story and lifelong commitment to each other. He was an incredibly grounding presence during the last weeks of planning (chaos), especially during the ceremony rehearsal. His years of experience were evident and helped us and our family to feel as prepared as anyone can be for one of the biggest moments of our lives. Additionally, he helped us, our maid of honor, and best man execute an absolutely FLAWLESS handfasting ceremony while reciting our vows. This was a dream come true for us and it was a highlight for us and our guests. We cannot say enough wonderful things about Evan. Our wedding ceremony will forever be one of the best moments of our lives. Absolutely outstanding. Thank you, Evan!

We truly could not have asked for a better officiant for our wedding! Eloise was everything we hoped for kind, professional, and incredibly organized and she went above and beyond to create a ceremony that was heartfelt, personal, and unforgettable. From our very first interaction, she made everything feel so easy. She brought us a full, beautifully written ceremony plan that felt like it was crafted just for us. She took the time to get to know our story and wove it into the ceremony in such a meaningful way from our high school beginnings and proposal at Wallace Park, to the small things that make our relationship special, like our shared love of travel and beach trips. One of our favorite parts was how she incorporated the Sand Ceremony. It was something we really wanted, and she made it feel so symbolic and unique to us. Her words during that moment, about blending our lives while still honoring who we are as individuals, were so touching. Standing together at that table, surrounded by our loved ones, felt like the perfect representation of our union. She also honored our late grandparents with such grace and respect, bringing them into the ceremony in a way that felt spiritual and comforting. From her guidance for our family during the opening, to the blessing at the end, she brought clarity, presence, and peace to every step. She managed to strike the perfect balance between emotional, thoughtful, and light-hearted (including a little humor that made us and our guests smile!). Every guest felt included and every word felt intentional. Having her as our officiant made our ceremony not just official, but truly meaningful. We are so grateful for her work and presence on such an important day. If you are looking for someone who will thoughtfully and lovingly guide you through your wedding ceremony, she is absolutely the one. Thanks again! – Logan & Kaelyn

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.

Miri was the perfect wedding officiant for our special day. From the very beginning, Miri's communication style was prompt, thoughtful, and reassuring. She met with us several months before the wedding to learn about us and what we were looking for in our ceremony. Miri then crafted a personalized first draft with lots of wording options for us to choose from, and she carefully pieced together our thoughts to make the ceremony bespoke and meaningful. Miri's work was truly exceptional - she was caring, kind, creative, passionate, and enthusiastic throughout the entire process. We loved the idea of including a peony watering as a symbol of our love, and Miri was so excited to incorporate that element, even selecting an amazing poem to accompany it. Additionally, Miri helped us with our vows and provided thoughtful suggestions - I felt so much more at ease reading my vows for all to hear because of Miri's feedback and support! Miri also met with us for the ceremony rehearsal, ensuring we felt prepared and confident for the big day. We are so grateful to Miri for making our wedding ceremony so memorable and special.

Awarded Best of Zola
A few hours after my husband and I got engaged, I asked him, "What if we just had a super tiny wedding and got married in a week?" Cue a mad scramble to find an officiant, photographer, and venue. We had already spoken to one potential officiant who didn't ask us any questions or tell us what he was planning to do—not great—so when our photographer recommended Dave, we were thrilled he was available. When we met up over Zoom to talk, it was clear he's very smart and funny, and loves love without being mushy about it. He crafted a ceremony that was short and sweet, complete with a reading that was a great match for us. I loved that he sent us the full script with free rein to adjust it to our liking. I, an endless word-fusser, only made one small change. On the day, he was already laughing with our witnesses when we arrived, and it set the scene so beautifully for us to have a joyful, laid back ceremony. It was perfect. He's happy to provide ideas but really wants the ceremony to work for you as a couple. He'll talk about his outfit options for you to choose from. (We went with a navy suit but he has a rad hot pink one too if that fits your vision. I suspect he would gamely wear an Iron Man costume or KISS makeup if that were your dream.) That open thoughtfulness extends to whatever kind of ceremony you want—big or small, religious or secular, traditional or offbeat. Zero judgment, just a steady stream of smart questions, good ideas, and caring support. And he writes the best emails. I haven't laughed that hard or felt so sparklingly clever in writing in years.

Sandy made our wedding ceremony absolutely perfect! From beginning to end she helped us so much. Sandy was always super easy to get a hold of. It never took her more than a day to respond back to any emails we sent her (which to anyone planning a wedding knows is key to have vendors respond as quickly as possible). She made the ceremony so unique by reaching out to some of our friends and family to ask them question about my husband and I and incorporated their answers into the ceremony, which made us and our friends and family feel even more apart of the ceremony then they already were. And everyone knows that one of the post stressful parts of all of this is writing your vows. Which Sandy knows (of course) and she goes above and beyond to help with that she gave us a detailed list of things to incorporate (if you decide to write your own) along with a list of already made vows that you can choose from or use to help create your own version of. Which helped so much to alleviate some of the stress of it all. If I were to do it all again I would choose Sandy every time she was so helpful through the planning of it all and when it came to the actual execution of it, it was perfect and true to her business name, felt like it came right out of a storybook written just for us.

Thanks to April, we were able to fully enjoy our wedding day. It was truly the best decision we made to have her as both our officiant and coordinator. If you’re looking for someone who is thoughtful, professional, organized, and kind look no further. We are beyond grateful! It was also a big surprise for us and made it even more special when we found out she also married my little sister on her wedding day back in October!!

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.

Kayelily is wonderful! We hired her to officiate our small elopement ceremony with our immediate family. From the start she was responsive, kind, and professional. She took the time to ask for my vision, what aspects of the ceremony were most important to us, and provided us with a script that we were able to edit if desired. Our wedding ceremony could not have been more perfect. It was the perfect blend of honoring our love, acknowledging everyone who was there to support us, and even a little humor. Our families agreed that she was absolutely wonderful and they enjoyed listening to her speak about us. We are so happy that Kayelily was able to be part of our most special day and we cannot thank her enough for the most perfect memory!

The Resonant Officiant

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

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.

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.

We can’t say enough good things about Pat! She was absolutely amazing to work with. From the very beginning, she guided us through every step — from getting our marriage license, to meeting with us to get to know our story, to helping us craft a ceremony that felt so personal and true to us. She made the whole process easy and enjoyable, answering all our questions and giving us the freedom to really make the ceremony our own. She even reviewed our vows and was there if we needed any help or feedback. Our guests couldn’t stop talking about how beautiful and heartfelt our ceremony was, several people told us it was the most personal and meaningful ceremony they’d ever attended, and we owe that to Pat. She did an incredible job and we couldn’t recommend her more highly!

We had an incredible experience working with Dawn from Vows By Dawn for our wedding ceremony. From the moment we first reached out, she was responsive, polite, and incredibly knowledgeable, walking us through every step of the process - from the wedding application to the vows to the name changes afterwards. Dawn was so honest, professional, and caring throughout, making it easy for us to rely on her even though we didn't live in the area. The ceremony itself was smooth sailing and so lovely, with Dawn guiding us through seamlessly. All of our guests were so impressed and we would highly recommend Dawn to anyone looking for a wonderful officiant for their special day!

Absolutely the most amazing day of my life! Heidi from Love Story Vows was exactly what we were looking for, and we started with NO idea what we were looking for! We're non-religious, fun/funny people, but we had a lot of family in attendance for the wedding. We wanted to keep things traditional, but also a twist of silly and sarcastic, just like us. Heidi met with us a few times before the big day, sent us all the instructions/guidelines we needed (never been married before), and helped answer SO many questions! She was truly the easiest, most communicative vendor we had on the whole process, and I cannot thank her enough for all she did for myself and my husband. Our day was perfect with her help. She's your crazy / not crazy Aunt Heidi, and she really loves what she does for a living. You won't go wrong with her, she offers all sorts of wedding styles. Her voice is calm, relaxing, loud enough for all family to hear, makes the ceremony without being the main part, and is just the kindest soul. Thank you Heidi! You helped make our day so much more special, and you'll always have friend for life here!
