What is the story behind Guy Thee Wed?

I believe your ceremony should never feel like the “part before the reception.” It should feel like one of the most meaningful and memorable moments of your wedding day.

My signature approach centers around your love story—a custom retelling of how your relationship began, grew, and ultimately led you to this moment. From hilarious first-date stories to the moments that made you realize this was forever, I create ceremonies that have guests laughing one minute and tearing up the next.

Every ceremony is built collaboratively with my couples to ensure it feels authentic, personal, and completely reflective of who they are. No generic scripts. No cookie-cutter ceremonies. Just a celebration that truly sounds and feels like you.

Before becoming a wedding officiant, I spent more than 25 years in education as a teacher, administrator, and school principal. That experience shaped my ability to connect with people, communicate with warmth and confidence, and create meaningful moments that bring people together.

Based in Orlando, I proudly serve couples throughout the greater Orlando area and create inclusive ceremonies for couples of all backgrounds, identities, and traditions.

Ready to bring your love story to life? To ensure a truly personalized, white-glove experience, I manage all bookings and consultations exclusively through my secure digital studio.

Cheers!

Guy Swenson

Go with Guy!!

Guy was SO wonderful! From the start, he was very communicative and helpful. We had no idea what we were doing but Guy had all the answers. He wrote a beautiful script for the ceremony and helped us incorporate our own stories into it as well. He ran our rehearsal and it went so smooth, then the day of was a breeze! I highly recommend Guy!!

The best wedding officiant!

We absolutely loved having Guy as our wedding officiant! Even though we had never met in person until our wedding day, Guy made such a genuine effort throughout the planning process to get to know us as a couple. By the time our wedding day arrived, it truly felt like we were having a friend officiate our ceremony.

He took the time to understand what was important to both of us and incorporated so many meaningful details into our ceremony. He spoke with such intention, while still bringing in the perfect amount of humor and personality. He made sure the ceremony felt authentic to us and exactly what we wanted — fun, heartfelt, and personal.

Guy was incredibly professional, kind, and thoughtful from start to finish. He checked in with us several times throughout the wedding planning process just to see how we were doing and if there was anything he could do to help. That level of care meant so much to us!

We are so grateful Guy was the one who got to marry us and help make such an important moment so special. We would absolutely recommend Guy to anyone looking for an officiant who is professional, personable, fun, and genuinely invested in making your ceremony everything you dreamed it would be.

The perfect Guy for our special day!

Guy did an amazing job capturing our love story. It was personalized and moving, with the perfect splash of humor. We are spiritual but not ‘religious’ (as in organized religion) so we very much appreciated his approach. Our teenage children were our bridal party and the sand ceremony that represented the union of not only us as husband and wife but of our blended family was so incredibly special. There was not a dry eye in the house. Would def recommend! Thank you Guy!

An exceptional officiant who elevates your ceremony with your own love story

Guy was the perfect officiant for our wedding. He was punctual, professional, and communicated clearly throughout, making the process easy and stress-free. He made sure we felt confident and prepared. The love story was the highlight—heartfelt, engaging, and beautifully presented. He brought in just the right amount of humor, making the ceremony both meaningful and entertaining. Our guests were fully engaged, with lots of smiles and happy tears, and many shared how much they enjoyed it. We were extremely impressed and would absolutely recommend Guy.

Highly recommend!

Guy is truly a genuine and kind person, and it is clear from the very beginning that he genuinely loves what he does—especially getting to know the couples he works with. From our first conversation, there was absolutely no pressure or sales pitch; instead, he focused on understanding us and what would make our ceremony meaningful.

He has a remarkable ability to create a ceremony that feels both personal and unique. His words were heartfelt, beautifully delivered, and perfectly balanced with moments of humor that made the experience even more memorable.

Thanks to Guy, our ceremony was incredibly special—something we will cherish and never forget. We are so grateful to have had him as part of our day and would highly recommend him to any couple looking for an officiant who truly cares.

Guy is the best wedding Officiant available

Guy Swenson was by far the best wedding officiant we could have asked for. We have attended multiple weddings in the past, seen plenty of officiants, but have never had the feedback from our wedding guests the way we did when Guy was our officiant. Too bad my wife and I won't be getting married a second time, otherwise we would hire Guy again. 10/10 thanks Guy.

A perfect choice

Guy was everything we were looking for and more. He made our ceremony feel uniquely ours. The time we spent planning together before the wedding was efficient and easy. From the stories we shared about our relationship, Guy created a love story that he would read during the ceremony. He sent a script in advance so we could see all the other details, but he kept our love story a surprise until the day. That was the best part of the ceremony... hearing our love story through his beautifully crafted prose.

Guy is a professional and calm presence on what can be a stressful day. We are so glad we worked with him and can't recommend him highly enough!

Celebration of Color!

We are Más and Vin, and if you’re scrolling through WeddingWire trying to decide on an officiant, let us save you some time: hire Guy Swenson (Guy Thee Wed).

We were planning a destination wedding in Florida from Maryland and North Carolina, so we did a lot of research on WeddingWire, The Knot, and Google. Guy stood out immediately, and once we met him, we understood why. He was professional, warm, and genuinely excited about our wedding. He answered all of our questions clearly and gave us a sense of calm, like we were talking to an old friend.

Guy’s process is where the magic begins. His questionnaire is detailed in the best way, and our meetings with him felt like honest, heartfelt conversations. He took the time to learn about us as individuals and as a couple, then turned those details into a ceremony that felt tailor-made. He shared a ceremony outline and fully welcomed our desire to personalize it. Together, we incorporated poetry readings, spiritual elements, music clips, and an African water libation ceremony to honor our families and ancestors.

At every stage, he was organized and supportive; from contracts and payment to timelines and revisions. There was never any sense of “this is too much” or “that’s not how I do it.” Instead, he brought a creative spark, structure, and encouragement that elevated our entire ceremony.

On our wedding day, Guy delivered our story with such tenderness and insight that our guests were stunned. After the ceremony, one family member told us, “I didn’t know he was such a close friend of yours, the way he talked about you, he really knows you.” Several people actually asked if we had met Guy in college because of the intimate knowledge he shared about us and how personally he spoke.

Guy, thank you for bringing your heart, creativity, and artistry to our wedding. You didn’t just officiate our ceremony, you helped create an unforgettable moment in our lives at the Wave Hotel in Orlando.

Thank-you!
Más & Vin

Guy is the best!!

We truly could not have asked for a better officiant experience! From the initial get to know us video call, to the month before wedding planning call, to the wedding day, Guy made the process simple, fun, and so meaningful! You can tell he truly cares to get to know you as a couple and this showed in how personal and emotional our ceremony was. We received so many compliments from our guests that it was the best ceremony they have seen. We would absolutely recommend Guy again and again!

Exactly What We Wanted

​I cannot recommend Guy from Guy Thee Wed enough! He created such a lovely and deeply personal ceremony for us. What truly touched me was his thoughtfulness. When I started crying during my vows, he was right there with tissues ready before I even realized I needed them. Even when his microphone unexpectedly died, Guy didn't miss a beat. He simply projected his voice so every guest could hear, and kept us both so calm and grounded. It was wonderful to have an officiant who handled everything with such grace so we could just stay in the moment and enjoy our day. If you want someone who is professional, prepared, and truly cares, hire Guy!
