About

On WeddingWire since 2007

Altared Vows by Taya is a highly-rated officiant service located in Wilmington, Delaware that serves weddings throughout Maryland, Pennsylvania, and New Jersey.

Experience
Owner Taya started the company after her own wedding experience. When she and her fiance were preparing for their marriage, they had a hard time finding an officiant because they were not strongly affiliated with any particular church. She knew she could help others by filling that gap with this service.

Altared Vows by Taya offers high-quality service options to each couple. During the preparation process, Taya will get as much information as possible so that she can adequately plan and prepare for your special occasion. She will be there for you during that day and will bring a professional yet personable approach to the ceremony and preparation process.

Beautiful Ceremony: All thanks to Taya!

Taya was our officiant at our wedding in Lewes, DE on 7/16/2022. To this day I am told by the guests who attended our wedding how beautiful the ceremony was. My husband and I were very nervous about the ceremony and wanted it to be simple, sweet, and comfortable. We got just that. We had a few laughs, the message we chose for Taya to speak was beautiful, and I was very pleased with the ceremony. It’s one of my favorite parts of our special day. Thank you Taya for being a part of our wedding, it was a pleasure having you there and meeting you. 💕

Rolled with the Mishaps!

I loved working with Taya, she was great and very helpful! She gave us plenty of options of different ceremony types so we found one that fit us best!

The microphone turned off during the ceremony and she just knew what to do - spoke louder to get everyone's attention and when I misspoke the word "wring" instead of making me feel embarrassed she also said "wring" so it was like it was supposed to have happened that way and not a misspoke at all.
I do not want to get married again anytime soon but if I had to go with an officiant I would pick Taya every time!

Excellent Service

Taya was incredibly pleasant and professional throughout the entire process. She made everything go great and happily dealt with the 90 degree days we experienced on our wedding day. She was super accommodating and created a great atmosphere. 10/10

Wow what can I say. In a time when you see vendors just putting in the time, Altered Vows by Taya REALLY adds that personal touch. A+

I've had the pleasure of photographing several weddings that Taya has officiated and each was equally beautiful, so full of love and warmth. Taya is a natural and her ceremonies are some of the best I've witnessed. She does an extraordinary job of personalizing ceremonies to fit each couple, knowing when light humor will be well received or when to stick with the more traditional. Her ceremonies always leave a lasting impression. I highly recommend Taya, she's a wonderful ceremony officiant.
