KC is amazing! I scheduled with Weddings of the Ages pretty last minute (about 30 days before the wedding). With planning everything it was really the little (but very important) details that were slipping my mind. KC was able to be our officiant for our special day and she was amazing. She was super helpful when planning the ceremony and even tho we chose to have a 15 minute ceremony she made it so personal and amazing. It felt like it was just me and my husband with no one watching. KC also relived a lot of stress when planning the ceremony and mailing the marriage certificate!

Wedding for The Ages came to me as the #1 recommended officiant from our venue. While we are not a same-sex couple, inclusion was a very important piece of who we are and we wanted to ensure that all of our vendors were morally aligned the same way we were. Planning a wedding from 300+ miles away is stressful for anyone, and Antonn was very kind in answering all my questions, being available for a call, or providing suggestions. The day of, he was a calming presence in a time that can seem very chaotic! His ceremony was exactly what we had hoped for, charismatic, funny, and heartfelt. We received so many compliments on how he conducted himself and how the ceremony proceeded. I would absolutely recommend this team, to any and every one.

Based in Northwest Ohio, Weddings For The Ages is a wedding officiant service. We combine caring, creativity, and experience into a process that makes ceremony planning as stress-free as possible! We've helped to create more than 300 one-of-a-kind ceremonies for couples, making every celebration personal and memorable. Over 20 dedicated officiants are ready and available to serve couples throughout the states of Ohio, Michigan, and Indiana. Every couple and every event is different, so each ceremony is customized to reflect the couples unique love story, personalities, and vibe! Our goal is to create a service that you will remember forever. We love to meet with couples multiple times before the ceremony, letting us get to know you better, and allowing you to explain your vision for your ceremony and ask any questions you may have. Your comfort is so important to us. Your whole wedding day will be a rollercoaster of emotion, but the high point will be when you stand in front of your friends and family, and pledge your lives to each other - you'll want to feel comfortable and confident with the person who's guiding that moment! That's why we don't let couples book us until you've had a chance to talk with your officiant, so we can make sure that everyone feels like it's a good fit. Whether you want a basic ceremony or something much more elaborate, we have packages to make your dream ceremony a reality. From a five-minute "mini-mony" in the park, to an hour-long extravaganza with music and movement, we are here to make it happen. Even quick paperwork-only services! We are welcoming to all beliefs, backgrounds, and traditions, and are happy to include any special prayers, readings, or ceremonies that are significant to you; in fact, we love performing inter-faith ceremonies! Combining backgrounds and traditions in interesting ways can be incredibly fun! We celebrate love in all forms, and all couples are welcome. We have experience performing weddings for same-sex, opposite-sex and non-binary couples. We are more than happy to use whatever pronoun(s) you prefer and will design the ceremony to fit with your personal beliefs. From traditional ceremonies to elopements and everything in between, Weddings for the Ages can help make your day one to remember.

We cannot say enough wonderful things about our officiant, Atonn. He was truly outstanding and one of the biggest highlights of our entire wedding day. The number one compliment we...

heard from guests all night was about how incredible the ceremony was — many even told us it was the best wedding they had ever been to. From the very beginning, Atonn took the time to get to know us as a couple. He met with us multiple times beforehand, listened closely to what we envisioned, and crafted a ceremony that was so authentically us. We wanted something light, meaningful, and a little funny, and he struck that balance perfectly. Guests (and us!) laughed, cried, and felt every word. It was heartfelt, personal, and unforgettable. Atonn clearly cared about making the ceremony special for us, and he absolutely delivered. We’ve already shared his name with several friends who are getting married because we want them to have the same incredible experience we did.

y and friends LOVED the ceremony. We were asked no less than 25 times how we knew him and how long we had been friends. If that doesn't tell you how much effort and time he puts into making your ceremony personalized to you, I'm not sure what will! Atonn quickly became someone that we were excited to talk to, meet with, and become friends with. Thank you for being there with us every step of the way and for just being you!

rocess. Which, was huge for us considering we were sharing a lot of personal information with a complete stranger. He never pressured us to give more than we wanted to and molded our ceremony to be exactly what WE wanted it to be, respecting our boundaries and embracing our sense of humor the entire way. Communication with Weddings For The Ages was great! They checked in frequently at milestone moths throughout our engagement as our wedding date drew closer. At our actual ceremony, Atonn had written such beautiful and personal things about our relationship that our guests couldn't believe that he wasn't a close friend, and was someone we had hired. We give Atonn and Weddings For The Ages our highest recommendation! We are so incredibly glad we found them and that they were available for our wedding. They are the professionals you want standing beside you on your big day!

as such an amazing personality and my husband and I bonded so well with him throughout the process. He kept me so calm before the ceremony which is truly just what I needed. Our guests could not stop talking about how great of a job he did. He added the perfect touch of humor to the ceremony as well which definitely helped ease the nerves. Our other vendors told me throughout the night how they wish they could work with someone like him everytime they have a wedding. Atonn is truly top notch at what he does! Book with Weddings for the ages and ask for Atonn!! I promise you won’t be disappointed.

minational background to deliver a ceremony that everyone was pleased with. The support from Atonn from start to finish was much appreciated as we were so unaware of what type of information was needed to have a ceremony and what the process entailed. He was able to answer all of our questions and made the process stress free. He paid great attention to the details from getting to know us. He used them to share some of our personal stories and add some humor to our ceremony which kept it perfectly light hearted as we requested. All of our guests were asking how we knew him because they genuinely thought that we had known him for our whole lives. Atonn worked so well with our other vendors and the venue. It was clear that he is a well respected professional and has a great rapport with other vendors which made the ceremony go so smoothly. We greatly appreciate Atonn and his company Weddings for the Ages, and we would highly recommend them for your wedding.

One of the best parts was the questionnaire that we filled out, which gave him a deeper understanding of how we are as a couple! Let me get to the best part the ceremony! Atonn made our ceremony so fun, the best part was it was tailor made to be personal to us and what we like and most importantly our love story! After the ceremony was finished many of our guest commented that this was one of the best ceremonies they have ever been to! So, if you want a beautifully tailored ceremony book them now, you will not be disappointed!

ea where to start when it came to looking for an officiant. We attending a few wedding events, but just did not feel a connection with anyone. I did extensive online searching and review reading, and I stumbled upon Atonn at weddings for the ages. I was blown away with the amount of positive reviews he had received. Our first meeting was one I’ll never forget. My husband and I were SOOOO nervous until we had ONE conversation with him, and we opened right up. He is friendly, inviting, relatable, and most importantly he respected every decision we wanted to make regarding our ceremony. He asked questions that helped us draft our desired ceremony with him. He also helped us with many unity feature ideas when we were unsure. He attended our rehearsal to ensure everyone knew what we were supposed to do and when. He was patient and attentive to everything we talked about. He included all the small details about us that we mentioned in meeting with him and discussing in his questionnaire and you can tell he put thought and emotion into every word he said. I LOVED that he offered to review both of our personal vows before the ceremony, because they were SOO in sync. He ensured we got our marriage license in the appropriate time and got it filed very quickly!!! I appreciate him for everything! Once we have more photos back, we’ll be sure to share them with you. Thank you for creating such a memorable day.

LOVE that Atonn took time to learn about us as a couple and scheduled a video chat to create a relationship with us so our experience felt extra personal. The questionnaire they sent pre-ceremony to learn about our history was so fun to fill out together. We had a specific request to be pronounced married at 11:11am and Atonn made sure that happened organically. He made sure we felt calm and comfortable at the beginning of our ceremony and wrote a beautiful script for our special day. His words were so thoughtful and meaningful to us as a couple that we’ve chosen to print out a copy to incorporate in to our wedding album!

We told Atonn we wanted something short & sweet and still kind of traditional but fun, and he did an excellent job.

We're so thankful for him and Jodie!

My fiance and I had been searching for an officiant or pastor to perform our service for quite some time. It was a little bit of a drive from where we live to where we were getting...

married. After several officiants backed out we were blessed to have Darlene cross our paths. Darlene and the wedding party both live about 2 hours away from where our venue was. She gave us the most memorable service possible. My bride and I were both late to our own wedding, were never on time, lol. Darlene waited for us. She included a few things in our ceremony we didn't discuss on the phone and it was beautiful. She had everyone present pray and have good thoughts and wishes on our rings before we exchanged them. We thought that was pretty neat. If I had to do it all over again, I would gladly have Darlene perform our service. Darlene is very punctual on time and goes over everything to ensure the couple is getting the wedding that they desire to have. You will not be disappointed with her services. BTW her husband is a big support to her during the ceremony.

His ceremony was so personal, sincere & even funny at times. I would highly recommend Scott as an officiant!

go-to choice. Scott was a pleasure to work with making us feel the most loved throughout the planning process and on our special day, he was communicative, explained things well to us and offered amazing suggestions. Having Scott officiate our wedding felt like having a member of our family there with us. He was funny, he was serious, he listened to us and our ideas and used them during our ceremony, he was all of the things you want in an officiant and more. We cannot thank or recommend enough. If you are looking for an officiant who truly cares about you and your special day as if it were their own then look nowhere else Scotts the GUY!!!!

The months leading up to the ceremony, Jodie was so great at communicating with us to make sure we felt comfortable with everything and to make sure that we were getting everything we wanted. We met with Atonn multiple times leading up to the wedding and all of our meetings went so well! Atonn genuinely wanted to get to know us and worked hard to make our ceremony as unique as we are. My husband and I had decided later on that we wanted to do a unity barrel and Atonn jumped right on board with it and knew exactly what to say! If you are looking for an officiant and team who truly cares about you and creates an individualized experience, Weddings For The Ages is the perfect team!

st an officiant. We started talking with and getting to know him many months before our wedding and it absolutely showed. He was so professional but personable, had the biggest heart, and we instantly felt like he genuinely cared about what we wanted with our wedding ceremony. We vibed with him in ways that I didn't expect to with our officiant. When it came to our wedding day, I could not have asked for our ceremony to go better. Atonn made our ceremony so personalized to us, with the perfect mix of serious and lighthearted moments, and everything else in between. Even after the ceremony, we had multiple of our guests compliment him. In a heartbeat, I would recommend Atonn to anybody.

Numerous people came up to us throughout the night and told us how impressed they were by him. Atonn truly made our wedding special and unforgettable. We have nothing but great things to say about him and the whole Weddings for the Ages team!
