Wedding Officiant & Ceremony Script Creator

My best friend asked me to officiate his wedding in 2007. I was honored, but putting the ceremony together was overwhelming. Everything I found online sounded dated, too traditional, or too religious for who he and his wife actually were. On top of that, getting their input on what I planned to say was slow and inefficient. It took far longer than it needed to.

So I wrote my own material and built my own process from scratch. It was worth every bit of the effort. Officiating his wedding was one of the most rewarding experiences I’d had, and afterward people told me I’d found my calling and should do it for a living.

That’s exactly what I’ve been doing ever since.

Since 2007 I’ve officiated over a thousand weddings and refined the ceremony material through real trial and error. The scripts are written to be easy to say out loud, the process for building a ceremony outline is simple enough to hand to any couple, and the ceremonies themselves don’t sound like anything guests have heard before.

Roughly half of the weddings in my area are officiated by someone who got ordained online to do it for a friend or family member. That’s exactly who I built this for.

Your couple isn’t typical, so their ceremony shouldn’t be either. My material works for nonreligious and nondenominational couples, same-sex couples, interfaith couples, couples blending families with children, and couples who want to start their own traditions. It can be spiritual without being religious, fun without being disrespectful, and personal without being awkward.

My goal is simple: I want guests to beam at you during the ceremony and tell you afterward it was the best one they’ve been to. I want you to be so confident in your experience that recommending this material to the next person who gets ordained for a friend feels like the obvious thing to do.
