About this vendor

Amy F. Aurore Weddings helps couples in Southeastern Ohio begin their marriages with clarity, intention, and deep connection.

As a wedding officiant and creator of the vow writing course How to Vow (www.howtovow.com), Amy believes your ceremony should do more than mark a moment. It should reveal the foundation you're building together. Since 2012, she's been guiding couples through a transformative process that goes beyond the wedding day, helping you discover your shared values, articulate your vision for the future, and craft promises that feel true to who you actually are.

A different kind of ceremony experience:

Amy's approach is rooted in reflection, not performance. Through thoughtful conversation and guiding questions, she helps you understand what makes your relationship work, then translates that understanding into a bespoke ceremony that honors your authentic story. You don't have to be a writer or know exactly what to say. You just have to be willing to explore what's real between you.

As a certified life coach and marriage preparation guide, Amy brings both emotional attunement and practical structure to the process. She's affiliated with the SYMBIS Marriage Prep Assessment to help couples understand their communication styles and conflict patterns, and recommends Season Journals for intentional engagement and marriage preparation.

Services include:

  • Custom Ceremony Package: Fully personalized ceremonies with your love story, intention statements, meaningful vows, and rituals that reflect your values. Includes unlimited planning meetings, rehearsal coordination, vow writing guidance through the How to Vow course, and ceremony customization resources.
  • Marriage License Signing Package: Intimate, meaningful ceremonies for couples seeking simplicity without sacrificing intention. Perfect for courthouse-style celebrations or small gatherings with just a few loved ones.
  • Marriage Preparation Course: SYMBIS assessment-based guidance to deepen self-awareness and foster stronger communication as you prepare for married life.
  • How to Vow Writing Course: 21 Day guided course to help couples write and deliver their own meaningful and heartfelt vows.

What to expect:

From your first conversation to your wedding day, Amy creates a calm, sacred space for you to explore what commitment truly means. Her process isn't rushed—she meets with you as many times as needed to ensure your ceremony feels completely authentic. Whether you're planning an intimate elopement in Hocking Hills or a gathering with everyone you love, she walks beside you with steady presence and gentle guidance.

Service areas:

Amy serves couples throughout Ohio, including Columbus, Hocking Hills, The Mohicans, Mount Vernon, Granville, Newark, Zanesville, Marietta, Athens, and surrounding communities.

For couples who value:

  • Meaning over spectacle
  • Authentic connection over perfection
  • Intentional beginnings, not just beautiful weddings
  • Guidance in articulating what feels too deep for words

Your ceremony should feel like coming home to each other. Let's create that together.

Exactly What We Wanted!

We couldn’t have asked for a better officiant for our special day! Amy was a fantastic communicator from start to finish. She took the time to understand exactly what we wanted for our ceremony and worked closely with us to craft a custom experience that was uniquely ours.
Her support was invaluable as we wrote our vows; she reviewed them with care and provided thoughtful feedback that made them even more meaningful. The result was a non-traditional ceremony that perfectly reflected our personalities and relationship.
Everything went off without a hitch, and we received so many compliments on how personalized and touching the ceremony was. We truly couldn’t have asked for a better officiant. Thank you, Amy, for making our wedding day so memorable and special!

Sweet, simple, and professional!

Amy was very sincere, genuine, and timely with her work. She guided us through the process to our special day and after. She paid attention to the details and took her time to really understand what we wanted. We will forever be grateful for the service she provided as we are now official and I could not be more happy with how it all went. Amy is a true professional and highly recommend and easy to work with and that made a world of difference for us!

Hocking Hills Elopement

We found Amy through our photographer, both locals in the Hocking Hills, Ohio area. We chose her from our very first phone call. She truly cares and wants to make sure it's the right fit for both parties. Her attention to detail and personalization is unmatched. Whether you have a vague idea of what you want or a solidified idea, she goes through all the ins and outs to making your ceremony everything it has the potential to be.
Amy puts an emphasis on your marriage(not just the wedding day) and ensures you're set up with the tools to create a foundation that will last. She creates the space for intention and authenticity to shine.
Amy made certain we knew everything there was to know, from the legal side to the heart of it all.
She was readily available to help us every step of the way and even handled all the marriage license stuff for us post wedding so we didn't have to stress about it!

I specifically loved her personal touch with the quiz/questionnaire she had us fill out and the beautifully articulate way she created the ceremony script.

Amy is very knowledgeable but also so kind and genuine. You will not be disappointed, I highly recommend!

Could not recommend enough!

Amy gave us a beautiful and well spoken wedding ceremony. We had several guests tell us that the way she spoke about us each personally appeared like we've known her for years. She has handled all of the marriage license paperwork for us and kept us well informed on it's progress. We would absolutely recommend her for anybody looking for an officiant!

Warm, Fun & Memorable

We found Amy through Wedding Wire and felt an instant vibe match. From our very first conversation, she made us feel completely comfortable. Her experience was incredibly reassuring, and her guidance helped us create a ceremony that felt deeply personal and meaningful.

Coming in from Germany to get married, we loved how she seamlessly incorporated elements of German heritage into our unity ceremony—it was such a fun and special touch! The worksheets she provided helped us shape a ceremony that truly reflected us as a couple. She’s an absolute pro at what she does.

Beyond that, Amy has such a modern and inclusive approach. It was clear from the start that she creates a space where everyone feels valued and seen.

My dad kept mentioning how much he liked her and even asked if we had known her for a long time—that’s how natural and welcoming she was. She also helped us refine our vows, which made them even more special.

We’re so grateful to Amy for making everything come together so beautifully. Highly recommend!

Very romantic, unique and personalized ceremony!

We were so fortunate to have Amy as our wedding officiant! From the very first meeting, we could tell that she was not just going through the motions—she genuinely wanted to get to know us and understand our story. Her approach to writing and officiating our ceremony was truly unique and so personal. She took the time to craft a ceremony that reflected our values, personalities, and love for each other, which made it feel even more special.
Throughout the process, Amy was incredibly thoughtful and communicative. She guided us through every step, providing suggestions while also making sure that we felt comfortable with every decision. It was clear that she cared deeply about making our ceremony meaningful, and that sense of care truly showed on the day of the wedding.
On the big day, the ceremony was nothing short of beautiful. We received so many compliments from our guests about how warm, heartfelt, and unique it was. People commented on how personal and intimate the ceremony felt, and how perfectly Amy captured the essence of our relationship.
If you’re looking for an officiant who will take the time to make your ceremony truly special and tailor it to you as a couple, we highly recommend Amy F. Aurore. Her professionalism, warmth, and ability to create a memorable, personalized experience made our wedding day even more incredible!

We would highly recommend Amy as your wedding officiant!

Amy was the officiant for our wedding in WV. From our first virtual meeting to the ceremony, she was professional, attentive, thoughtful, and organized. We loved that she had worksheets to help us with writing our vows and to set some themes for our ceremony. These also helped us set an intention for our life together. Amy came up with a touching and personalized ceremony script and helped us to think about ceremony additions like a rose ceremony. She also made sure we were organized and had the proper documentation and for the ceremony. We thought the ceremony and what was said was beautiful and received many compliments from our guests.

Wonderful!

Amy was a sweetheart. We met her via zoom beforehand to make sure she was the right fit for us. The ceremony was written beautifully and fit us to a tee. We could not of had a better experience. She helped us write our vows and even provided follow up materials. Thank you so much Amy.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
