What is the story behind A Joyous Officiant?

Since 2011, A Joyous Officiant has been helping couples throughout Tucson celebrate their love with wedding ceremonies that are personal, meaningful, and uniquely theirs.

Our mother-and-son team grew in 2016 when her son, Ben, joined the business. Together, we bring two different personalities and perspectives to every ceremony—but share the same goal: to make your wedding ceremony feel comfortable, genuine, and joyful.

When we're not officiating weddings, you'll often find us creating art. Ben is a professional custom painter and lifelong artist, while Joy is an author, artist, and writer. Creativity is simply part of who we are!

Whether you're planning an intimate ceremony, a big celebration, or something completely your own, we're here to help you create a ceremony that tells your story, your way.

We'd love to be part of your special day!

My husband and I were very impressed and very thankful to Mrs. Joy & Her Son! They both were so generous to help us out setting up for the wedding with tables, chairs, ect. They both were very sweet! I would most definitely recommend them to all engaged couples looking for an Officiant who is more than perfect in so many ways!

My husband and I were seeking to get married abruptly. We were unable to schedule a wedding with a judge because of our short notice. Found Joy on this website and decided to call her. She was very professional and personable. We felt comfortable with her and very much appreciated her officianting our marriage. She is very accommodating and I'm sure would be great in any setting you decide to get married.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
