About this vendor

At Officiant Doug, your ceremony is never generic. Every script is written from scratch around your relationship — how you met, what you've built together, and the promises that matter to you — so the words spoken on your wedding day sound like your story, beautifully told. We officiate weddings throughout Florida, Alabama, and Georgia, from formal ceremonies to laid-back beach weddings to our quick and simple "Get-R-Done" elopement package for couples who want something meaningful without the fuss. Ceremonies can be traditional, non-denominational, interfaith, or fully custom to reflect your beliefs and backgrounds — including specialty and bilingual ceremonies on request. Officiant Doug has been BBB accredited since 2016, with a track record of couples across the Gulf Coast trusting us to get their "I do" exactly right.

Could Not Recommend More

Douglas was absolutely hilarious and so sweet. He did a phenomenal job with the ceremony which was very customizable. He was also very patient, letting us finish photos before sending over the payment.

Doug was awesome!

Doug was great to work with for our wedding. He made the process very easy for us from creating our ceremony reading to making it come to fruition on wedding day. He made the process easy for both myself and my wife in knowing when to respond to the readings and bringing the wholesomeness of our marriage to reality. We would highly recommend his services come wedding day. Thank you Doug!!

Great Experience

Doug officiated my grandson's beach wedding last week. Great communication and great personality. He arrived on time. He went above and beyond when the hired photographer was a no show due to them putting down then wrong address. Doug promptly made a phone call to another photographer and within twenty minutes he arrived. This worked out as he was able to take some sunset pictures with the newly wedded couple. Thank you Doug for your prior service to our country and for the great service last week. It was an honor talking to you.

Doug Was Amazing

We would highly recommend Doug to officiate your wedding. He listens to what you want and then executes it perfectly. We plan on using him again when we celebrate our wedding with family and friends at the end of June.

Made our day possible

Officiant Doug was absolutely a blessing, right from the beginning. He communicated with me about everything and stayed in contact until the wedding day. I most definitely would recommend him doing anybody ceremony because not only does he do a great ceremony but he is funny, respectful, and without a doubt will work with you when there may be a bump or issue and he won't abandon ship when the seas get rough. Thank you so much for being our Officiant Mr. Doug you truly were and are a blessing to us. May God bless you in many ways.

I have photographed several weddings for several different wedding planners and thus, have met several Officiants in this area. Doug is by far the best. He's easy to work with, relaxed, quick on his feet, casual..and probably one of the nicest guys you'll ever meet. If it were my wedding, this is the guy I'd want!
