Thanks to recommendations from couples on The Knot
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 good things about Wedding of the Ages! We had Atonn as our officiant and he is truly such an awesome person! From day one he made us feel like we were talking to someone that we’d known forever. He was so helpful and put us at ease during the whole planning process. The ceremony he put together for us was absolutely beautiful and was perfectly tailored to us and our love story. Words don’t do justice to how grateful we are to have had Atonn be a part of our wedding!

Where do we even begin?! Atonn and Jodie at Weddings for the Ages were awesome to work with. Atonn was our officiant and we cannot even put into words how amazing he was. Our family 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! Love, Jeremiah and Ashley Grogan

Atonn married my husband and I on 9/14/2024. I CANNOT RECOMMEND HIM ENOUGH! From the beginning to end of the wedding planning process, he goes above and beyond to ensure that your ceremony is as big or as little as you want it to be. His questionnaire really felt special to us because it was like he was trying to understand us more in order to write our ceremony. He is one of the kindest souls we've ever came across. Book him if you're looking for an officiant!

Atonn married us in August of this year, 2024. We are so grateful we found him and Weddings For The Ages. He was respectful, kind, and made us feel comfortable through the entire process. 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!

If you’re looking for a top notch wedding officiant Weddings For The Ages is the way to go specifically though I highly recommend Atonn! He truly made our ceremony so special. He has 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.

Weddings for the Ages was an amazing choice for our ceremony! Atonn was so personable and a delight to work with. He easily blended my husband’s Catholic background and my non-denominational 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.

We had an amazing experience working with Weddings for the Ages, and Atonn! He helped take our vision for our wedding ceremony and made it happen. Our guests loved the ceremony- and it was perfect for us.
Atonn was incredibly calming (I was a bit nervous), and helped us navigate unexpected delays leading up to the ceremony. His expertise, professionalism, communication and kindness meant the world to us as we planned our big day.

We had a wonderful experience with Scott from Weddings for the Ages! Scott put a ton of thought and care into crafting the perfect wedding ceremony. He had a ton of suggestions prepared as far as ceremony readings and unity ceremony. There was a thorough questionnaire that was a ton of help with describing our relationship so the ceremony could be unique to us. Great option for any type of wedding ceremony (non religious or religious) and very affordable pricing. Highly recommend to anyone who is looking for an officiant for their wedding!

Gosh, where to start with them. You don’t need to look any further for the best around - communication, experience, detail, and support. They did an amazing job as soon as we reached out to them, providing us resources as we navigated through wedding planning, getting to know us, making the ceremony so relevant to the people that we are and the married couple that we were becoming, and made it fun the entire way. ❤️
Atonn, we appreciate all that you did to make our ceremony all that it was: perfect as perfect could get!

Atonn was our officiant for the wedding ceremony, our experience was beyond what we hoped for! Amazing does not even sum up our experience with wedding for the ages! Communication was excellent throughout the planning process. Atonn got to know us through in person meetings, emails, and phone conversations. 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!

Atonn. You created the most beautiful ceremony ever. We cannot thank you enough, but what we can do is help to share how amazing it was with others here. My husband and I had no idea 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.

Atonn and Jodie were nothing short of amazing. Upon booking for our micro-wedding ceremony, Jodie was prompt and friendly with communication and coordinating meetings with Atonn. I 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!

Atonn is the best. My parents are very traditional and wanted a church wedding so it made them nervous when we hired an officiant, but they have not stopped talking about how amazing he was. We heard from everyone how personal the ceremony felt and how they actually enjoyed it and felt like we are all on this journey together. He is the best and was so much fun to work with and unbelievable professional. I would recommend him to anyone I met and so glad we were able to have him on our special day!

Atonn is such a great person and was SO easy to work with. We started planning our wedding from out of state before moving back to the area and we had no issues with communication. We told Atonn we wanted something short & sweet and still kind of traditional but fun, and he did an excellent job. The pre-wedding questionnaires were fun and helpful to complete so Atonn got to know us a little better despite not meeting in person until the day of our rehearsal. We're so thankful for him and Jodie!

Weddings for the ages was exactly what we needed for an officiant service. We have a hectic life with 2 small children and work so trying to plan a wedding was difficult. They made it easy by communicating via text and phone at our convenience. Scott was so friendly and we just loved the personality he brought to our ceremony!

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.

My daughter booked Weddings for the Ages…she had no referral from friends and knew no one that had used them. So she was going in blind!! Needless to say as the Mother of the Bride, I was quite nervous! She booked the officiant Scott Stechschulte! Scott was amazing! He communicated with the bride & groom to hear what their “vision” was as a ceremony. He really got to know the couple in a short amount of time via phone calls & a detailed questionnaire. He was the ultimate professional during rehearsal & ceremony. His ceremony was so personal, sincere & even funny at times. I would highly recommend Scott as an officiant!

Words cannot even begin to describe how wonderful Scott was to work with. From our initial call with him to discuss all of our hopes and dreams for our wedding we knew he was our 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!!!!

Atonn you have a gift that most people dont, you can see the love that people have for eachother and put it into words magically. Thank you! for the most beautiful ceremony and the memories that we will always cherish and never forget!

Atonn talked us though every step of the way, meeting with us several times prior to the wedding to make sure our wedding was going to be exactly what we wanted and that we were as prepared as we could be for the actual day. Everything went off without a hitch and his ceremony was beautifully tailored to what we wanted. Atonn was eloquent and weaved in personal details and stories we provided into the ceremony to make it feel all the more special to us, while providing us a relaxed and lighthearted atmosphere. He made our wedding day all the more special for us.

Words cannot describe how wonderful Atonn was at our ceremony! We had a few things go not as planned (as anyone does at a wedding) and he was a huge help in making sure things continued to run smoothly during the ceremony. 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!

I could not have asked for a better person than Darlene to officiate my wedding (7-16-2022). She was personable and truly cared to answer questions we had along with bringing our story to life within our ceremony. She truly has a talent. Among all of the stress with the other vendors and family-Darlene was like icing on a cupcake-she was that pleasant to work with.

I don't think I could ever find all of the words to explain how perfect our wedding ceremony was because of Atonn. Atonn is the type of person that we could look at as more than just 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.

We had an unexpected change to our officiant 2 days before our wedding due to our officiant getting COVID. I honestly think that was a huge blessing in disguise. Atonn showed up at our rehearsal dinner two days before the wedding, which is where we met him for the first time. He stayed after the rehearsal to ask us many questions to get to know us very well for our ceremony. Our entire ceremony was perfect! Atonn made it very personal and also threw in some jokes to keep it light hearted. We could not have asked for a better officiant for our wedding! I highly recommend Atonn to anyone looking for an officiant!

We had the pleasure of working with Michael Barlos for our wedding this August. He is personable, easy to talk to, a good listener, and he has a great sense of humor. Michael was able to help us create the exact type of ceremony we were looking for. He got to know my husband, his daughters, and I on a personal level which aided in our ceremony creation. Having to postpone our original wedding due to Covid during 2020, Michael kept in decent contact with us checking in to see how things were going and keeping everything on track. I highly recommend Michael and Weddings for the Ages.

Carlyn did an incredible job! We feel SO lucky to have found her! Weddings for the Ages did a great job matching what our needs were to our officiant.
From the moment we matched, Carlyn took the time to get to know my husband and I on a personal level. She remembered small, important details and threaded them throughout the ceremony to make it special. She followed up with us throughout the planning process and made sure we were taken care of every step of the way.
During the ceremony, she spoke from the heart and it showed.
I had so many friends and family members come up to us afterwards letting us know how great the ceremony was. Despite only meeting Carlyn from the time we needed an officiant, several people asked if we were close friends. And we feel like we gained a friend in the process! She truly cares about what she does and it is clear.
I could not recommend her enough!

We had the pleasure of working with Atonn from Weddings for the Ages not once, but twice because of COVID restrictions pushing off our full-sized wedding and we wouldn't have had it any other way!
Atonn took pains to meet and communicate with us often in the months leading up to our big day in order to better get to know us as individuals and as a couple and strove to cater our ceremony to fit our personalities, style, and needs. He also did an absolutely outstanding job writing two very distinct ceremonies that were at once lighthearted, solemn, and tender. He exuded a calm, joyful presence when we needed it most getting through our nerves in front of all our friends and family during the wedding and was a truly an invaluable guide and partner in making our day special and memorable.
We received soo many compliments and positive comments from our guests about his ceremony and my wife and I could not have been happier with his process and performance ourselves - I would absolutely recommend him or folks from his team for anyone's special day! Seriously, if you are reading this review then what are you waiting for, contact him before it's too late!

We couldn’t have asked for a more perfect wedding officiant than Atonn with Wedding for the Ages! We were nervous at first being an out-of-state couple and finding an officiant who would create a personalized ceremony for us, but Atonn instantly eased those worries and shot it out of the park. Each time we virtually met with him it was like catching up with an old friend and we loved hearing the crazy stories from his many years of experience. Atonn took the time to get to know us and created such a special ceremony for us inculpating all of the special themes of our wedding and our relationship as a couple. He even surprised us with the sweetest, most thoughtful addition to our ceremony that we will treasure always! Atonn instantly makes you feel comfortable and excited and was the perfect addition to our ceremony! We’re so thankful we found him and can’t wait to work with him again to create a special ceremony for our vow renewal and dating anniversary celebration next year!

Ardy Gonyer was our officiant for our 10/24/2020 wedding. And we can honestly say that we were and still are absolutely THRILLED that we went with Weddings for the Ages for our wedding officiant! Our wedding planner had a few recommended officiants on her list and I am so overjoyed that I clicked on Weddings For The Ages first! Their reviews from other couples took the cake in what we were looking for in an officant! The first time my now husband and I met with Ardy, we knew that all of our hopes and plans for our big day were finally falling into place! It felt as if we had been life long friends with him in our first few meetings! Ardy was so easy to talk to, get ahold of, and get along with! We loved his sense of humor and friendliness! He made helping us figure out exactly what we wanted for and to include in our ceremony process so incredibly easy and smooth! Ardy was there every step of the way to answer all my questions and go over things time and time again! It truly was a pleasure working with Ardy! We had so many of our guests tell us what an amazing job our officiant did with our ceremony and ask where we found him! We cannot say enough good things about Weddings For The Ages! If you're looking for a wedding officiant, look no more because you've found it here!
