Cali Officiants - San Francisco Bay Area Reviews
Share your thoughts with other couples
Rev. Laura Cannon was wonderful. We connected instantly with her in our telephone interview. She took plenty of time with us when we met to discuss the wedding. She asked about us, our families, and was truly interested in hearing our story ...
and learning about us as a couple. She incorporated what she learned into our ceremony and made wedding everything we hoped it to be.
We had the pleasure of working with Rev. Lynne Feinberg
to officiate our special day. We can't say enough good things about Lynne. She was so easy to work with, created the most beautiful wedding ceremony and worked with us closely to make sure...
every detail of our vows were just right! She was very quick to respond to us and made use feel so comfortable in expressing our own thoughts and beliefs when it came to creating our vows. We are so happy that we chose Pittsburgh Officiants and would recommend them to anyone! Thanks Rev. Lynne!!!!
Laura is the best! She really understood what my husband and I wanted from our ceremony and all of our guests loved the ceremony and thought Laura was a friend!! We wanted someone who would come across that way but who really knew what they wer...
e doing and Laura definitely delivered!! If you’re looking for an awesome person but also someone who is experienced, hire Laura!!
We searched online for someone to officiate our small, secular wedding in Clifton, VA. After reading lots of reviews we found Ceremony Officiants. The initial meeting with an officiant is free so we took a shot. Our first conversation with Alic...
e (our assigned officiant) was on a video call, where she was brimming with personality, very open, and easy to talk to. Once we signed the contract, we met with Alice at her office, where she had tons of different examples for ceremonies and was eager to try to find something that felt right to us and the ceremony we wanted to create. After our initial meetup, Alice put together a draft script and highlighted areas where we still needed to make decisions, including a few examples for each and time to think it over. She was also very willing to listen to our ideas, and incorporated a “tying the knot” ceremony perfectly when we were looking for something different from the traditional Unity ceremonies we’d seen online. On our wedding day, Alice showed up on time and handled the ceremony beautifully!
Laura was amazing. We got several compliments from guests on what a beautiful job she did. Her approach was refreshing and truly conveyed the vibe of my husband and I's relationship and love for each other. We highly recommend Laura!!
Reverend Jamie Schiffer of Ceremony Officiants did an amazing job with our wedding ceremony. She was easy to contact and talk to. She was always very professional and responsive to questions. She made planning the ceremony the easiest part of o...
ur wedding planning. My husband and I are not religious, but our families are, so she was able to make a custom ceremony that incorporated everything we wanted. When she talked about us in front of our friends and family it sounded like she had knows us our whole lives. It brought happy tears to almost everyone's eyes. After the ceremony so many of our guests reached out to us to tell us how beautiful the ceremony was, and how they had never heard anything like it. They put emphasis on how perfect it was for us and how she really captured the essence of our relationship. We wanted our ceremony to be original so we did a wine box ceremony, which was Jamie's idea, and it could not have gone better! She made sure that the ceremony was everything we needed from our story to personal readings from family members, to our vows. Jamie was early to our ceremony so she was able to coordinate with the other vendors so everything went smoothly. She promptly filed our marriage license so it was available to us. I cannot say enough great things about Jamie. We are so happy she was the one to marry us, and we would not have imagined it any other way. Ceremony Officiants made it so easy to find the perfect officiant for our wedding and get in contact with them.
We had Jeremy (Pittsburgh, PA) and cannot possibly say enough good things. We are so glad we were matched with him after the questionnaire. From our initial phone call, to our in person meeting, to the day of, Jeremy was fantastic. He did a ...
wonderful job at making us comfortable, even joking around on the day of to ease the nerves of the whole bridal party. All of our guests loved him and we received many compliments. Not only did he have a great personality that meshed with us as a couple but we wrote some wonderful words for our ceremony and was available to answer any questions we had. Could not be happier with our experience, A+++!
Picking an Officiant was one of the harder things we had to do for our wedding. We needed to find someone we could connect with and trust. After speaking with Jeremy and meeting with him at a local Starbucks, we knew right away that he was our ...
guy. Jeremy is super kind, prepared, and extremely helpful. He asked the fiance and I a series of questions to get to know us the best he could in the short period of time he had. From there he wrote the ceremony. He sent us a draft to review and was entirely open to any and all suggestions. Though, the fiance and I thought the original copy was nearly perfect. When wedding day came Jeremy put me at rest by walking me through everything. I knew that I could trust him and it paid off. He delivered a funny, joyful, and sentimental ceremony that captured my fiance and I's story from day one to wedding day. We couldn't be more proud or happy to have Jeremy officiate our wedding. The one thing Jeremy worried about the most was ... us. I'd reccomend him to anyone with hesitation. He's upbeat, genuine, and kind. He did a heck of a job. Thanks Jeremy!
Rev. Jake officiated our September wedding, and it was better than we could have ever imagined. He was considerate, and went out of his way to make sure that my husband and I were comfortable with his style and vision for the day. He made our e...
vent especially special by personalizing his ceremony script, and really connecting with both us and all the guests at the wedding. Every single person in attendance has said the ceremony was one of their favorite parts of the day!
Rev. Cherie with Ceremony Officiants was a joy to work with. She was so considerate and wanted only the best for us and our wedding ceremony, throughout the experience of working with her. She went out of her way to make sure that we were comf...
ortable with her and her style, and made our wedding day so special by personalizing her ceremony script and really connecting with both us and all the guests at the wedding! Thanks so much to Rev. Cherie and Ceremony Officiants!
Rev. CK officiated our ceremony and she did such a fantastic job! We got so many compliments on how personal it was even though we hadn't met her prior to planning our wedding. Rev. CK was extremely easy to work with and we would recommend her ...
wholeheartedly. Thank you so much!
Rev Dana Hardy Bingham of Ceremony Officiants - Rev Laura Cannon & Associates officiated our ceremony on September 1st, 2018. She was absolutely amazing to work with and we would choose her over and over again!!! She crafted a beautiful cerem...
ony that focused on us and our love for each other, and we had SO many compliments from our guests about how eloquent and poised Dana was!
We worked with Dana on several drafts of our ceremony to get it just right...Thank you so much for making our wedding day perfect!
We had the pleasure of having Rev. Laura Cannon officiate our wedding. She was absolutely amazing from start to finish. She made us feel completely comfortable (something we hadn’t felt meeting with other officiants) and put together a beautifu...
l ceremony for us. Laura helped us take care of everything including ceremony revisions and obtaining our marriage license. Our ceremony was beautiful and everything I imagined it would be. We are still getting compliments! I highly recommend Ceremony Officiants. Thank you for making our wedding day so special!
We found our minister, Rev. Jeremy Thieroff, through Pittsburgh Officiants and he was wonderful! We live out of town from our wedding site, so were worried about trying to find someone over the phone. Jeremy completely put our minds at ease! He...
spoke with both of me and my husband, gathered information about our relationship and put together the most beautiful ceremony! He sent us a draft to read, but there was not much we wanted changed! Everyone was asking us how we knew him afterwards because they were so impressed with how personal the ceremony was. He kept it the length we wanted as well (short and sweet), and arrived early on the day of. We would highly recommend Jeremy!
They were great. We needed an officiant on pretty short notice they matched us to one and she was great!
Rev. Laura Cannon is an amazing officiant, and I highly recommend her services to absolutely anyone who needs them! My husband and I chose Ceremony Officiants for our D.C. wedding. Originally we had a different officiant, but when he was unable...
to perform the ceremony (with about a year's notice, so nothing problematic), Rev. Laura very generously agreed to do it herself. This ultimately was the best thing that could have possibly happened to us. From the moment we met her, we were absolutely over the moon knowing she would be conducting our ceremony, because when we met her we felt completely at ease and confident that she was the best person to marry us. Rev. Laura is the rare combination of an accomplished and organized professional who also makes you feel like you've known her forever, which was perfect. She is warm and genuine, and the ceremony she wrote for us was absolutely beautiful - every time I read it in the months leading up to the wedding, I was moved to tears. She gave us free rein to make changes after writing our ceremony, but her words (based on what she learned about our relationship from the conversations and meetings we had leading up to the wedding) were so perfect we didn't need to make any changes. Rev. Laura made the ceremony all about us and our relationship, and every guest I spoke to raved about how lovely the ceremony was and how special it was to have Rev. Laura, because she made it so humorous and fun, but also maintained the importance and dignity of the occasion and the significance of our commitment to each other in marriage. It was a profoundly beautiful moment already, and Rev. Laura elevated it to an even higher level through her actions and her incredible talent for officiating marriage ceremonies. I recommend that any couple getting married asks Rev. Laura to do them the honor of acting as their officiant, because it was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding day, and it started our marriage off on the most incredible note possible because of Rev. Laura's elegant ceremony and how fantastically she conducted it.
Lisa Ann was the perfect match for my husband and I! We periodically ran into obstacles and she was always there for us as the voice of reason and helped to overcome those obstacles. She was down to earth and it was easy to see that she truly e...
njoys what she does. She made our day truly wonderful!
Ceremony Officiants as a company was really professional and responsive. It was great that they have you submit a questionnaire as a way of striving to match you and your fiance with someone that fits your values/wishes for your ceremony.
We...
worked with Rev. Lynne Feinberg and we really couldn't have asked for better. She worked with us going over what we wanted and was open to changes. We sent our ceremony layout back and forth via email multiple times until it was just right. Lynne showed up on time, was friendly and felt like a friend who was truly happy for you by the time that we actually reached our wedding day!
Double points for being able to reschedule our ceremony date as we had a change of plans and decided to move our wedding from October up to June.
Rev. Kiana was the most highly praised vendor at our wedding - all of our guests raved about her and kept asking us where we found her! Kiana took the time to get to know us and hear our story, and it made for a really special and intimate cere...
mony. It can be tough to get a hold of her through email, but she's very responsive through text message. We highly recommend her.
Maiga was our officiant and was so warm and calming through the whole process and delivered a beautiful ceremony. I would highly recommend this service as they made it easy as possible.
Rev. Jacob Polasky of Ceremony officiants officiated our wedding on June 9, 2018. He was extremely easy to work worth, and allowed us to customize our ceremony to exactly what we wanted. The ceremony turned out beautifully, and we are completel...
y happy with our experience.
We can't say enough nice things about Rev. Jez James with Ceremony Officiants in the Baltimore area! She was so responsive, professional and knew how to put that special touch on our wedding. The ceremony was very meaningful - there were many ...
parts of the ceremony that we knew about and some surprises she had up her sleeve like revealing what each of us said in private that we loved most about the other one. My husband, who isn't the most sentimental guy, was so moved by the ceremony. Rev. James got our wedding and marriage off to the right start - I would totally recommend her and Ceremony Officiants!
I would choose Laura Cannon as my wedding officiant over and over and over again. The ceremony is the most important part of actually getting married and Laura made it everything we could have asked for. From the pre-planning meeting, to ceremo...
ny revisions, and by taking care of the marriage license, Laura made the day fun and easy for us. We are so thankful that we found you and will forever cherish the beautiful ceremony you came up with and held for us!
Working with ceremony officiants made the process very easy, since we were new to the area and didn't have an established church. We were able to get matched with someone who worked well with the type of vibe we were going for, and Jez did an a...
mazing job both writing the ceremony and performing it.
Rev. Jez James did a great job! She made our wedding. ceremony very special, something we just couldn't have done without her input and insight.
We were paired with Alice and we were so incredibly happy with our ceremony! We had guests coming up to us and telling us how much they loved the ceremony and the words spoken during it. It was exactly what we wanted! Alice was so attentive, re...
sponded to emails almost immediately and really got to know us and it showed in our ceremony. Thank you so much!!!
My transhusband and I found Reverend Jamie Schiffe on Ceremony Officiants and we are extremely happy that we did. She gave us a lot of different materials, suggestions, and ideas on how to make our perfect wedding ceremony.
She sat down wit...
h us a few months before the ceremony to go over exactly what we were looking for and what we needed. We then put together some draft ideas and she wrote the ceremony to make it personalized to us. We also wrote our own vows and she gave us feedback.
She was very helpful in making our big day go off smoothly and we’d certainly recommend her to anyone else.
We had Reverend Jeremy and he was so accommodating. He really listened to what we wanted and was in constant contact throughout the whole process. He was consistently willing to tailor the ceremony to what we wanted until it was perfect for us....
We are very appreciative of all he did and thankful he was part of such an important part of our day!
My new husband and I had the pleasure of working with Rev. Maiga Milbourne, and she was just incredible. From our first phone call with her, we immediately felt like she just "got" us. She was very responsive during the entire ceremony planni...
ng process, and was incredibly helpful as we wrote our own vows. All of our guests thought that our ceremony was incredibly meaningful and personal. Many asked how many times we met with Maiga and were shocked to hear it was just one phone call and once in person. Our ceremony really was very beautiful and was exactly what we dreamed it would be.
Rev. Lynne did an amazing job at our wedding! Our ceremony was sooo beautiful! We met with Lynne once before the wedding, she paid attention to detail and really made the ceremony unique for us! We have gotten so many compliments on how nice ou...
r ceremony was. She picked excellent readings and really portrayed the love we have for one another. I am so happy we chose this company and so happy we were placed with Rev. Lynne!
My partner and I recently did a commitment ceremony and had an excellent experience with Alice Langholt. We filled out the profile online and were matched with her, and she was absolutely perfect for us.
Because this was a commitment ceremony...
(and we are not religious), we initially planned to have a friend serve as the officiant. As it got closer to the event, we realized we wanted a professional to help calm our nerves and make sure the event went smoothly.
Alice was perfect! She was joyful and full of smiles, and helped us put together a ceremony that was absolutely perfect. She helped personalize the ceremony for us, and helped our ceremony have just the atmosphere we wanted - joyful and a little bit humorous (our guests were laughing during the ceremony!) but with a lot of heart and tenderness.
A+ experience with Ceremony Officiants and with Alice. Would definitely recommend!
I'm so happy we worked with Ceremony Officiants to find our officiant. Neither of us are religious so we had no idea who would perform our ceremony or how to find that person. CO set us up with Rev. Karin Otto and she was perfect! She sat wi...
th us, got to know us, and wrote the most beautiful ceremony. I'm so happy she was such a big part of our wedding and will remember her kind words and advice throughout our marriage.
Rev. Roxie Johnson made our ceremony the highlight of our wedding experience. The ceremony she crafted was touching and heartfelt, with many of our family and friends moved to tears. I especially appreciated that she helped me find the perfect ...
reading, after I had looked on my own for weeks. Rev. Roxie did an exceptional job of weaving in personal details although she only met us a few weeks before. We are so thankful that she was so flexible and ready to work with us on such short notice! We were so happy with our experience. I can't say enough good things about Rev. Roxie!!
We cannot explain how grateful we are that we chose Reverend Lisa Tumbarello for our wedding. She created the perfect ceremony for us and we couldn't be happier with how it turned out. We had countless guests inform us that it was one of the be...
st ceremonies that they had witnessed (I've never said that to any of the couples whose weddings I've attended...). All we wanted was a short yet sweet ceremony that reflected us and Reverend Lisa delivered. After a phone conversation and an in person meeting she perfectly reflected us as a couple. We truly can't thank her enough.
Laura was amazing from the beginning to the end of our wedding planning process. She made both Craig and I extremely comfortable and made the process of planning our wedding ceremony fun and laid back. I loved how she worked with us to create a...
format for our wedding ceremony that not only had some of the traditional elements for our parents and families but also incorporated personal touches that represented who we are as a couple. We have had SO many of our wedding guests tell us how much they loved our ceremony and more specifically our officiant. Laura was so easy to work with, was professional, and she made what is a very stressful wedding planning process much easier. If you are looking for an officiant for your upcoming big day, I would stop your search now and hire Laura!!
My fiance and I were matched with the perfect officiant for our day, and she delivered the perfect ceremony for us. She was so personable and friendly that she made it so easy to plan the ceremony with her. Rev. Rachael was so great and we tr...
usted her entirely. I would highly recommend this company when searching for an officiant!
Rev. Laura was so amazing. She answered any questions we had almost immediately. She was great at keeping in contact leading up to the wedding. The ceremony was great. It was so personable, it was like she's known us for years. We got so many c...
ompliments on how great the ceremony was. She is such a fun person. I can't wait to get our pictures back so I can show her.
When I first started planning our wedding I had no clue who would officiate our ceremony. When I found Ceremony Officiants, I was blown away by all of the amazing reviews so I contacted them. We were quickly matched with Rev. CK Andrew and I ha...
ve to say the entire experience with her was absolutely amazing! She was the perfect officiant for us. She was extremely friendly, helpful, and professional throughout the entire planning process and offered tons of thoughtful ideas and suggestions on how to make our ceremony personal and meaningful. It turned out to be a beautiful ceremony and we got a number of compliments on how personal and lovely it was. I can't thank Rev. CK and Ceremony Officiants enough for being a part of our perfect day!
Rev. Karin Otto of Ceremony Officiants officiated our wedding on September 23, 2017. The way she was able to personalize our ceremony was amazing - you would have thought she had known us our whole lives! Neither of us are religious, so she for...
mulated a ceremony that included our personalities instead of religious tradition. We were so thrilled with the ceremony, but I think the real testament to the job well done was when our guests approached us and told us it was the most touching and unique ceremony they had ever attended. I would strongly recommend Ceremony Officiants, and especially Rev. Karin Otto, if you are looking for someone to officiate your wedding. We didn't know how to personalize the ceremony and she was able to put it together exactly the way we wanted!
Rev. Lisa T. was the best officiant! We loved working with her! She was so professional and organized. She listened to what our vision was and she crafted a beautiful ceremony. All of our guests absolutely loved our ceremony. She did such an am...
azing job delivering our perfect ceremony.
Reverend Laura performed our ceremony at Elkridge Furnace Inn and it was absolutely perfect. She took the time to get to know us months ahead of the ceremony so when the day came, it felt and looked like we were being married by an old friend. ...
So many people asked us how we knew her because of how comfortable and relaxed the whole ceremony felt. She was timely in getting us drafts of the ceremony, super accommodating to our requests, and brought a lot of really great ideas and energy to the planning and execution of the ceremony. We would recommend her to anyo
Ceremony Officiants
We used Ceremony Officiants for our October 21, 2017 wedding. You basically answered a bunch of questions about you/your fiancee, what style of wedding you’d like, and what type of personalities you have. After this, Rev. Ch...
erie was assigned to us and from the beginning she exuded a warm and loving aura. She seemed to be someone who is “in love with love.” Basically she is happy to share in anyone’s happy moments in a way that feels genuine and heartfelt and not forced or awkward. She met us once in person and then communicated via email the rest of the time in an effort to get to know us well enough to write a natural and engaging ceremony. Her responses to us were always incredibly fast and clear (always a good sign of an awesome vendor). After this, she sends you a Google Doc which allows you to edit the ceremony she has written and to adjust as you see fit. She had the first draft of our ceremony done very early - I want to say at least 6 months ahead of our wedding which allowed tons of time to think thoughtfully through it and to get it just right. Therefore, we felt our ceremony went off perfectly. It was sentimental, true to us as a couple, and delivered in a beautiful way. Rev. Cherie has a wonderful warmth to her voice, and many of our guests praised our officiant afterwards. The most common compliment we heard was that if they were going to have a wedding, they would want their ceremony to go exactly as ours had: it was loving, it was touching, and it represented us in the best way. For anyone who gets Rev. Cherie as their officiant, you are probably the luckiest couple ever!
We loved our Pittsburgh Ceremony Officiant, CK Andrew! She was so fun and made the process of building our ceremony so easy. After filling out a questionnaire, about our preferences and what we were looking for, we were matched with CK. We want...
ed a completely non-religious ceremony, and CK had a ton of ideas and suggestions for fleshing it out a bit and making our ceremony meaningful. We were a little shy about reading vows to each other, and CK had a great suggestion of each of us sending her 5 things we loved about each other, which she kept a secret until our wedding day. She read them aloud during our ceremony and it was such a perfect touch...we were both tearing up and laughing at the sweet things we said about each other, and so were our guests. We had such a lovely ceremony, and so many of my guests came up to me at the reception specifically to compliment CK, to say how wonderful she was and how beautiful the ceremony was. A few dates of my guests whom I hadn't met before even said they were very touched by the ceremony, and they didn't even know us! Ceremony Officiants was really lovely to work with, and very easy to contact, as was CK. I wish I could give them 10 stars!!
Lisa Ann Goldsmith officiated our wedding and she was simply fabulous! We felt so at ease when we met with her--almost like we were old friends catching up. She wrote a heartfelt, beautiful ceremony that was perfectly us. We received so many co...
mpliments, too. We couldn't have asked for a better officiant for our special day!
Rev. Terumi made for an incredible experience on our wedding day! We couldn't have asked for an easier service that was tailored to our relationship and personalities so well. We were really nervous about options for non-traditional ceremony pr...
ograms but it ended up being a breeze and exactly what we could have hoped for. I would recommend them and Rev. Terumi to any newly engaged couples looking for a personalized, seamless officiant service on their big day.
We found Ceremony Officiants online, and we are so thankful we found them. Our officiant, Cherie was incredible. She made our ceremony so personal. It was as if we'd known her for years.
Dana was absolutely wonderful! She created a ceremony that people have said was one of the sweetest they have ever heard. She was a pleasure to work with and I would recommend her to anyone!
Rev. CK Andrews was exactly the type of officiant we were looking for! She was kind, helpful, prepared, professional, and just plain fun to work with. I had a heavy hand in writing and rewriting the ceremony (it's what I wanted), and she was ha...
ppy to accept and accommodate any changes and special requests we had. Our ceremony was somewhat non-traditional, with no references to religion and a special handfasting ritual. Rev. CK Andrews practiced how to tie the handfasting cord and memorized her lines during that part of the ceremony, making it seamless. She had nice posture, a kind voice, appropriate pacing, and a lovely smile. I high recommend her!
Rev. Lisa Ann was absolutely amazing! She did a wonderful job officiating our wedding And was very fun to work with !!! Book them ! They are wonderful!!!
We had no idea where to begin when searching for our officiant. Ceremony Officiants made that task effortless with their online system. We answered a series of questions and provided our preferences and in no time were matched with Reverend CK ...
Andrew! From our first phone call, and then in person meeting, with Reverend CK, we knew we had made the right choice! She made our ceremony unique, personal, and absolutely heart-warming. There was not a dry eye in our audience! From start to finish, Revered CK and Ceremony Officiants made themselves readily available for any of questions and concerns. Look no further for your perfect officiant!
Rev. Jake was the greatest officiant we could ask for. Not only was he always available for us and always willing to help, he was also extremely sweet and excited for our nerdy Legend of Zelda themed wedding. We appreciated him not thinking w...
e were weird and he overall did an amazing job. Thank you again for being a part of our wedding, the ceremony was beautiful and I'm sorry you had to see me cry.
I cannot say enough good things about how lucky my (now) husband and I were to find Rev. Laura for our ceremony. From the beginning she made sure to take the time to get to know us and to craft a ceremony that fit to our tastes exactly. She ma...
de sure to capture the essence of what we were looking for in a short and sweet ceremony, while also creating an atmosphere and ceremony which allowed our guests to be involved in the little details about my groom and I's relationship. I would recommend Rev. Laura to anyone who needs an officiant for a wedding, vow renewal, etc. Top notch!
Tyler helped officiate our wedding in September and it was wonderful. The ceremony was funny, thoughtful, sincere, and very touching for us and guests. Many people commented on how much they enjoyed the ceremony. We got to review it with Tyler ...
many times before hand so that we knew exactly what we wanted! It was perfect!
Rev. Dana Hardy Bingham was so great to work with! We loved being able to go back and forth with the ceremony script, and how easy she made the process for us. We received so many compliments on how beautiful the ceremony was. I loved that she...
recommended us doing "5 Things We Love About Each Other", it was such a wonderful addition to the ceremony. We were going back in forth about doing our own vows or not, and this was the PERFECT middle ground.
She was great and I will definitely recommend her!
Rev. Dana Hardy Bingham is the BEST!!!! My husband and I recently got married and we used Ceremony Officiants to find our officiant. After we got engaged we started to plan out the wedding. First we had to find the venue, the food, the flower, ...
the dress, etc... Since we are not very religious we went with a venue that had the ceremony site there as well. So the next big things was if we aren't getting married in a church, how are we going to find someone to marry us? So we start looking online at officiants and that is when we ran into Ceremony Officiants. I sent in the date and what type of wedding we were looking to have and they came back to me with 4 or 5 different officiants who were in our area and available for that date. Then we checked each one out online to see who was the best fit for us. We ended up going with Rev. Dana Hardy Bingham WHO WAS ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!!!!! First we had a phone interview with her. Then we met her in person to go over the type of ceremony we wanted and then came the wedding!!! Rev. Dana Hardy Bingham is so professional, kind, sweet and made our day perfect. She has an amazing personality and made our ceremony reflect our personalities. She was super flexible during the entire process and is willing to do whatever you'd like. Everyone commented after how much the liked the ceremony and how great our officiant was! I 100% recommend her to anyone!!! If you have the opportunity to book Rev. Dana Hardy Bingham I absolutely would!!!
We could not have been more pleased with Maiga as our officiant for our wedding. She made our ceremony so intimate and spoke as if she knew us for years! Our guests were so impressed and we are so very grateful for our choice and trust with you...
guys. Thank you thank you thank you!!!!!
We had a great experience with Reverend Maiga officiating our wedding. We didn't quite know where to start, but Maiga was wonderful in guiding us through the process. We talked with her about what we wanted the ceremony to be, and she used that...
to come up with a draft that we could work from. After a few more discussions we had it all figured out. The result was a ceremony that was personal and meaningful for us and our guests. Throughout the whole process Maiga was the consummate professional, keeping us on task but also respecting our input and not steering us into anything we didn't want to do. We were really so pleased with the whole experience and truly enjoyed getting to know Maiga. Weeks later we're still getting feedback from attendees on how much they liked the ceremony and how great our officiant was! Would recommend her to anyone who needs guidance on creating their own special ceremony.
Can't say enough good things about Rev. Laura! She made both my husband and I feel so comfortable at the altar, and really made the ceremony feel personal. She recognized (by name) all of the grandparents who had passed away and couldn't be the...
re, which we thought was a really nice touch. She also listened to exactly what we wanted in the ceremony, but wasn't afraid to say when she thought something may not be the greatest idea. The ceremony was short, sweet, and to the point which is exactly what we wanted. She even helped the 1.5 year old ring bearer walk down the aisle when he was having a little trouble staying on his feet.
The groom and I aren't very religious so we went through Ceremony Officiants to find out officiant. They had us fill out a survey and they paired us up with Maiga. We first talked to her over the phone, and then met her in person. We immediatel...
y knew we had found the right person. She was very kind, personable, and really listened to us. She made sure our ceremony reflected who we were. She even had us write 5 things we liked about each other to share at the ceremony which I loved! Even though everything was scripted before hand, she made it sound very natural and unscripted at the ceremony. I highly recommend Ceremony Officiants and Maiga!
Rev Lisa was awesome! She had a great way of adding personal touches and helping to organize the day! We couldn't have been happier!
Rev. Lisa is amazing! She really listens to what you want and incorporates it into the service. She is seriously amazing. We would have been so lost without her, she was a lifesaver. She puts a personal touch on the ceremony which is nice; it w...
as not a "cookie cutter" ceremony and she is very comfortable with public speaking. I am very happy with her!!6/5!
Thank you so much for helping to make our wedding day PERFECT. CK Andrews did a wonderful job and all of our guests thought we had known her forever. She really helped to personalize our ceremony to fit our carnival themed reception. She was s...
uper easy to get in contact with and made our ceremony everything we had hoped for plus more. Words can't describe how thankful we are for you, CK! Thanks so much!
Our experience was really close to being perfect. Aside from a few stumbles here and there from our officiant during the ceremony and some issues with the technology we were using to edit the script, everything was very easy and done well. Th...
is felt like a personal-ish experience seeing as how we only met our officiant in person once before our wedding- but you can definitely feel the difference between that and a trusted friend or close pastor. We were so happy we didn't care who was reading it, just as long as we were married at the end!
Rev. Laura was phenomenal. All my friends and family raved about the wedding ceremony and how Rev. Laura made it personal to our love story. Rev. Laura is so sweet and we felt very comfortable with her presiding over our wedding. I 100% recomm...
end her. Thank you for making our wedding so memorable!
Reverend Terumi was excellent! We highly recommend her. She was very easy to communicate with and get in contact with. We went to a premarital class with her that was helpful in helping our relationship grow stronger. She is very caring and ope...
n. She is not judgemental at all. We also met with her to design a ceremony that was personalized to the two of us and our beliefs. She did an excellent job putting it all together, and the ceremony turned out to be exactly what we hoped it would be. We are very glad we found Rev. Terumi. She was great!
Amazing, amazing team! We had Rachael Zajac as our officiant and she was awesome! Our ceremony was beautiful and so US! All of our guests thought we had known her for years, even though we had only met in person one time. She made us feel so co...
mfortable and helped us design a custom ceremony that was perfect for us and all of our guests. Thank you so much!
Profession al, responsive, easy to work with - took all the stress out of choosing an officiant!
There is no better choice for an officiant, than Laura Cannon. There are not enough positive words in the English language to explain how much we love Laura. Not only is she extremely easy to talk to/work with, she makes you feel SO comfortable...
and she is so understanding. Merely every single guest came up to us at our wedding and said "Where did you find her?! She was unbelievable, best ceremony I have ever been a part of." (This is not an exaggeration!!!) Everyone was blown away by how unique the ceremony was, how personable Laura comes across (and is) and both my husband and I truly feel like Laura was THE best decision we made out of all the decisions for our wedding. I am not the type of person to ever (literally ever) fill out a review for anything but Laura deserves a million stars because she is really one in a million. She is the type of person who can tell just really loves what she does. When you meet her, you feel like you've known her your whole life. Don't think twice, choose Laura!!!
I can't say enough great things about Rev. Laura Cannon! We really struggled to find the right officiant for our ceremony, there were many lackluster ones we interviewed, but she was absolutely fantastic from the start, full of energy, friendly...
, put us at ease and is very articulate. When it came time to marry us she absolutely wowed us and our guests with a ceremony that had us crying at times and laughing at times and she made sure our guests were present in the moment with us, which was extremely important. I'd recommend her to anyone looking for a wedding officiant. If we ever renew our vows, Laura will be there presiding, there is no doubt.
We absolutely loved our experience with Ceremony Officiants. We learned of them at a wedding expo and met Rev. Tim. We knew immediately we wanted him to do our wedding. The booking process was super easy and convenient, and we were never left w...
ondering how everything would work. Working with Rev. Tim to come up with the perfect ceremony for us was also a breeze. He brought just the right amount of humor and levity to the ceremony and many of our guests actually thought he was a friend of ours. Wonderful experience!!!
Rev. Tim was absolutely FANTASTIC! We had several meetings with Tim over the phone and in person that helped make our ceremony oh so special. He is very open to new ideas and also will provide unique ideas if you and your future hubby have no i...
dea where to start. For example, we knew we wanted to take a "selfie" during our ceremony but had no idea how to incorporate it. We left it in Tim's hands and he did an impeccable job! When our ceremony was over, people could not stop giving us compliments about how personal our ceremony was and how good Tim was. If you decide to have Tim be your wedding officiant, you will not be disappointed!

I cannot speak highly enough of Rev. Laura Cannon. She completely personalized our ceremony and gave it such an intimate feel. Many of our wedding guests commented on how beautiful and personal our ceremony was. Rev. Laura was always available ...
to answer my questions (I had many!) along the way and even went above and beyond the call of duty when a super windy day threatened our wine blending ceremony. She re-tooled and coordinated a new plan on the spot and quickly explained it to the wedding party (and was even taping wine glasses down!) Thank you, Reverend Laura for being everything we wanted in an officiant and more!
Laura Cannon is the best officiant ever
We worked with Rev. Maiga Milbourne - she is simply wonderful! We wanted a non-denominational ceremony and she was personal, sincere and reverent. As a wedding officiant, she kept things light, but respectful, and added such a nice personal t...
ouch to our ceremony! She's easy going and happy to tailor your ceremony to whatever extent and detail you wish. She takes the time to get to know you and ensure that your day is special and reflects your personalities. Our ceremony length was perfect, Maiga's words were perfect and she made our day special and started us off on just the right note. I highly recommend working with Maiga as a ceremony officiant!
Ceremony Officiants was wonderful! I met them at a Bridal Expo in Wilmington, DE a little over a year prior to my wedding, which was on 10/1/16. When we were trying to figure out who should officiate our ceremony, I reached out and received a v...
ery prompt response and soon was matched with our officiant, Maiga Milbourne. We could not have been matched with a better person to fit our personalities and needs! We had an initial phone conversation with her and then an-person meeting, both of which allowed us to get to know one another and to lay out exactly how we wanted our ceremony to be. Maiga was also always accessible via email and incredibly responsive - she made us feel completely comfortable and at ease, and planning the ceremony was fun and easy thanks to her! The day of the wedding, our ceremony could not have been more perfect - it was everything we would have hoped for and more, and perfectly encompassed who we are as a couple. Thank you, Ceremony Officiants and Maiga!!
We had a great experience with rev Jake!! He was extremely responsive to our request and was patient with us changing the wording of the ceremony a few times. He showed up on time and delivered a beautiful ceremony.. and our guest loved him! ...
Overall the whole process was the less stressful part of planning the wedding- from booking to paying and meeting him to the actual ceremony. He was also very quick to file our marriage license , which was important to us since we traveled in to have the wedding .
We couldn't be happier with our officiant, Rev. Cherie! She was so communicative and proactive in preparing for our big day and helped everything go so smoothly! She was a joy to work with and an incredibly kind person. We loved her and are so ...
happy to have been able to work with her!
My husband and I were married in Pittsburgh, PA this past July and we couldn’t be happier that we chose Ceremony Officiants! We were matched with Rev. Dana Hardy Bingham and she did an outstanding job! Her ceremony was so heartfelt and we recei...
ved many complements afterward. We met with Rev. Dana once to plan and then continued communication via email. She listened to what we wanted and gave us suggestions when we were unsure about readings and vows. Our favorite part of the ceremony was hearing the “Five Things” we loved about each other that we wrote secretly and had read during the ceremony. There wasn’t a dry eye in the crowd and we give that credit to Rev. Dana, whose delivery was absolutely perfect! We couldn’t had asked for a better officiant and we highly recommend this company to others!
They did an amazing job matching me and my husband with our officiant. Rev. Karin Otto made our ceremony very special and personal, almost like she knew us for years. Couldn't have been happier!!
We wanted a ceramony and officiant that would accommodate both of our cultures. Rev. Turumi Culmer helped us to complete that from the beginning. We weren't sure exactly what we wanted the ceremony to look like, but she worked with us to perso...
nalize our wedding day into something truly magical. Terumi made the process painless and stress free. We had many wedding guests who approached us after to tell us that they loved her insights and that they felt like they were a part of the ceremony. We definitely recommend Terumi to everyone!
Reverend Terumi Culmer was the Wedding Officiant for our special day, but such a title cannot encompass all that she did for my partner and I throughout the engagement process and even after the wedding. From the very first phone conversation, ...
we could tell that Reverend Culmer is a genuine, kind, and insightful person. Meeting with her in her home was an experience that I will never forget because she helped my partner and I put our emotions into words for our wedding and for each other in general.
Furthermore, Reverend Culmer constantly reassured us through her actions that she was there to be witness to our bond and to such a wonderful day, rather than just a reverend reciting a script. We were not just another couple to her, and that special feeling still resonates with us today. Overall, her professionalism and commitment to overseeing marriages (throughout the engagement process AND after the wedding) have made working with Reverend Terumi Culmer a joy and a blessing.
Rev. Karin was so amazing at our ceremony.. my husband & I are so glad that we found her!! She was the third officiant that I interviewed & decided to go with, and I am so glad that I did. She was easy to talk to & to work with. The script tha...
t she wrote for our ceremony was so personal, true, realistic, & beautifully written. I already thought that it was beautiful when she emailed me a copy prior to the wedding, but then when she vocally delivered it that day, it was taken to a whole different level. We had guests go up to her afterwards to tell her how much they loved the ceremony! Not to mention them coming up to us and saying the same. We had guests who asked for a copy of the script they loved it so much.. We had many mention how they usually "zone out" during something like a ceremony, but Karin kept them engaged the entire time. My husband and I wouldn't have changed a thing. Thank you so much Karin for being such a HUGE part of our special day =)
Rev. Laura was AMAZING. From our first meeting, we knew she was perfect for our special day. Our guests couldn't stop talking about the ceremony (that NEVER happens!) Thank you!
Rev. Cherie Young was AWESOME!!! She did a beautiful ceremony for us and she made us feel like she knew us for 10 plus years. She listened to us and got to know us, it was such a beautiful ceremony. So very pleased with beginning to end. THA...
NK YOU, Rev. Young for making our day great!
We are so thankful that we had the privilege to work with Reverend Dana! She was an absolute pleasure, from the first email correspondence to the wedding day! She worked with us every step of the way to create a ceremony that was customized and...
personal to us...Rev. Dana was so flexible, quick to respond to any of our questions, and ready with recommended readings/thoughts & suggestions for the day/etc. She made the process of planning our ceremony a truly enjoyable one! Even more importantly, our wedding ceremony was unique to us and truly fit who we are as a couple. We received SO many compliments on Rev. Dana from our family and friends; everyone was impressed with how well spoken she was and how personal the ceremony felt.
Reverend Dana, we cannot thank you enough for everything! You're the best! We will absolutely recommend you to anyone we know planning a wedding in the area :)
Rev Laura Cannon was Fantastic! 5 out of 5 Stars! She knew what she was doing and was good at it, she even brought a few things to our attention that we did not think of and help us navigate through it. Her imagination, communication and presen...
tation were Excellent, Loved working with her.
Hiring Rev. Laura to officiate our wedding was the best decision we made for our wedding day! It was really important to us to have a highly personal, non-religious ceremony so finding an officiant was a big task. My fiance was a little sticke...
r shocked but I knew immediately that Laura was the one to trust with my big plans for our big day and she did not disappoint! I probably wasn't the easiest bride to work with because I had a lot of ideas about what I wanted and high expectations. Rev. Laura was so easy to work with. She listened to everything I wanted and gave really helpful advice. She took the time to get to know us and also let us review and edit the ceremony which was super helpful because then we knew exactly what was coming.
On the wedding day, Rev. Laura completely exceeded my expectations, she did so much more than I ever hoped for. She really brought the ceremony to life and had our guests laughing and crying tears of happiness. Our wedding ceremony was so so special and I can't thank Rev. Laura enough for making our day magical! I really could not have asked for a better experience and I'm so thankful that we trusted Rev. Laura.
During and after the wedding, I received many many compliments about how wonderful Rev. Laura was and gave out her name and number to several people in attendance at our wedding. By brunch the next day word of her had spread beyond people in attendance at our wedding and I ended up giving her name to our brunch coordinator as well.
I would highly recommend hiring Rev. Laura to any bride but especially to a bride looking for a custom ceremony and for an officiant who really cares about making your day special. There is definitely a reason why Rev. Laura has so many amazing reviews. She does so much more than just read words off a paper, she really brings life to your ceremony. This is one wedding vendor you can definitely rely on to make the experience nothing but wonderful!
Rev. Laura, is amazing at her job and as a person. From first meeting until our ceremony there was not a question that she didn't answer or a conversation that she wouldn't have with my husband and I. Not only did she make the ceremony very pr...
ofessional she made it very personal at the same time. It was definitely a ceremony to remember and would definitely recommend her to anyone of my friends. She is and will always be amazing! Thank you for making our day magical!!!
Rev. Laura was amazing! She was the best part of our entire wedding. She did an amazing job capturing who my husband and I really are. The ceremony was beautiful and perfect I couldn't have imagined a better way to bring my husband and I's 11yr...
s dating together. I highly highly recommend them hands down the most and best talked about part of our wedding.
My partner-for-life, Scott and I will forever remember the wonderful wedding ceremony that we had...all because of Rev. Lisa Ann Goldsmith. What a wonderful person!!. She was inspiring, insightful and invested in us from the very start. She a...
dded so much to our ceremony. Her personal touch made us both feel as if she had been a friend and member of our family for many years. Thank you, Rev. Lisa Ann...you made more of an impact than you can imagine!!
We were so lucky to have Rev. Jake as such a big part of our wedding. He made our ceremony better than we ever could have imagined and put our minds at ease during the whole process. All of our friends and relatives were saying the same thing: ...
"Your ceremony officiant was wonderful! Where did you find a guy who had the voice of God like that?". It really is such a big deal to receive so many compliments on our ceremony and the officiant in particular because quite a few of my family members were very uneasy about a non-church wedding, so the fact that everyone was so pleased and impressed really speaks volumes about his presence, which is both official and very warm.
We cannot thank Rev. Jake enough for helping us make our day so special. We are the first of our friend group to get married but quite a few are already engaged, so we will be sure to encourage them to contact him if they need an officiant.
Laura is the best, she makes our wedding.
Rev. Laura was amazing! We couldn't have asked for a better officiant for our wedding. We had a lot going on leading up to our big day & she was very flexible, calming & supportive. After the ceremony, all of our guests spoke so highly of he...
r, how professional she was and how genuine and heartfelt her delivery was during the ceremony. I couldn't agree more! I 100% recommend Rev. Laura and Ceremony Officiants!
We are so grateful that we selected Reverend Laura to officiate our wedding ceremony!! At our initial planning meeting, Laura asked very thoughtful questions to get to know us and to personalize our ceremony as one that our guests would always...
remember. There were so many special touches that incorporated our guests, acknowledged our parents' long marriages and highlighted our favorite things about the other. We received endless compliments from all of our guests about how impressed they were with a ceremony so focused on love. One guest even asked us how many years we have known Laura because it seemed like she knew us so well!! We highly recommend working with Laura for your wedding!
Tim was absolutely excellent fun and personable he did a great job ! We received a lot of compliments from our guests ! Thank you, Tim
Ceremony Officiants and Rev. Jake were fantastic to work with! Rev. Jake helped my husband and I create a ceremony that was a true reflection of us. Throughout the process we felt free to incorporate whatever readings or aspects we felt were ...
right. Rev. Jake was then able to take all those components and put together a wonderful ceremony that was everything we could have asked for!
I can't say enough how much I loved having Laura as our officiant. She was so great and very professional. We didn't have a wedding party rehearsal because I was so comfortable knowing the Laura would guide everyone the day of. The wedding was ...
perfect and the bridal party knew exactly what to do with her direction and help. The ceremony was perfect and her words were beautiful. We had a meeting with her months before the wedding so she could personalize the ceremony. It was exactly what we wanted and I am so happy we found her to be our officiant!
Rev. Maiga Milbourne was simply fantastic! We received so many compliments on our ceremony ... YES, the CEREMONY! Not just the "fun" parts, like the reception or my dress. That says a lot!
If you're looking for a personalized, unique and captivating ceremony , look no more. Reverend Laura is amazing! I first met her at a friends wedding 11/15/14, she has a way about delivering the ceremony that captures the audiences attention. I...
immediately knew that when I got married, I needed to have her part of my wedding . Just a few weeks later I was engaged and she was one of the first vendors that I booked after the venue. From beginning to end it was a seamless process, we had phone, in-person and email consults. She and her team were excellent. I was beyond pleased & my guests were wowed! Her website includes lots of useful info, check out her site !
Rev Laura Cannon performed our ceremony and it was beautiful and exactly how we wanted it. She made the ceremony completely about us and was open to any and all of our suggestions, but also offered great input and took care of everything! We co...
