Just me

At Wed By Norm, every ceremony is crafted with care, heart, and intention. I’m Norman I. Graham, a professional and licensed wedding officiant serving couples across New York, New Jersey, Connecticut, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, and beyond for destination weddings. Whether your celebration is elegant, intimate, or joyfully unconventional, I specialize in creating ceremonies that truly feel like you — authentic, memorable, and filled with meaning.

Couples often describe me as calm, professional, and personable, with a genuine approach that makes the process simple and enjoyable. From our first conversation to your wedding day, I prioritize collaboration — making sure your voices are heard and your vision comes to life beautifully.

In addition to officiating, I offer:

  • Virtual or In-Person Consultations for your convenience

  • Guidance with the Marriage License Process, so nothing is left to chance

  • Customized Ceremony Scripts tailored to your story, tone, and preferences

  • Referrals for Trusted Wedding Vendors to help complete your dream team

  • Rehearsal Coordination (if applicable), ensuring a smooth and stress-free ceremony day

Beyond the “I do,” I also provide premarital and postmarital coaching, designed to help couples strengthen communication, connection, and clarity as they begin their marriage journey.

I’m honored to work with couples from all backgrounds — including interfaith, multicultural, LGBTQ+, and nontraditional unions — and I approach every ceremony with inclusivity, respect, and joy.

When you choose Wed By Norm, you’re not just booking an officiant. You’re gaining a partner who listens, guides, and celebrates with you every step of the way. Together, we’ll create a ceremony that’s legally sound, emotionally rich, and unforgettable — one that truly captures the love story you’ve built and the future you’re stepping into.

I’m proud of you.

I have expressed this to Norman 1000 times before and I will always tell him this: You are perfect for this role. Having the opportunity to watch Norman for this first time, I know for sure that he is passionate and takes his time with his craft. The wedding industry needs you and I’m happy I was able to witness it. I laughed, I cried, I’ve witnessed growth and hard work.

Amazing Wedding Officiant!!

I’ve known Norman (and the newlyweds) for years, and watching him lead the ceremony was truly amazing. I had the pleasure of being a bridesmaid, and they honestly couldn’t have picked a better officiant! He made everything feel so warm and personal, heartfelt, and even a little fun! He gave us smiles, he gave us laughs, and he perfectly captured the couple’s personalities.

Weddings can be hectic and stressful, but he made sure that on the big day they were calm, confident, and completely at ease in front of everyone. It was very natural, very organic, and I loved that. The ceremony flowed beautifully, and so many of us were smiling, laughing, and even tearing up at the perfect moments. The bridesmaids cried, the groomsmen cried, we all cried. But it was all happy tears, such a beautiful thing to be apart of! We all had such a great time, and you could just tell how much thought and care he put into making their day special.

If you want someone who’s professional, warm, and makes the whole experience unforgettable, someone who’s going to reflect on your personalities and your journey as a couple, and someone to really move and make your guests feel that love in the atmosphere, Norman is the man to call! You surely won’t regret it!

Officiant that was Basically Family!

Having Norman as our officiant was one of the best things that happened for our wedding! Leading up to the day, he was very helpful as we navigated filing for our marriage license and writing our vows. He crafted a beautiful and personal ceremony for us, and delivered it flawlessly with poise, care, and love. Our friends and family also enjoyed talking and dancing with him, mistaking him for one of our close relatives! We're so glad we had Norm on our special day.

Norman is Phenomenal

Norman is phenomenal! He’s extremely personable, creative and sincere in his words. Norman also goes above and beyond helping with details and tasks in addition to his own services to ensure the ceremony and reception went smoothly! Prior to the ceremony there was unexpected heavy rain and Norman was able to help transition the ceremony to be indoors, with a sense of ease and calm during the sudden changes and it turned out even better than imagined. His duality is impressive as he is professional, intentional and profound during the ceremony and also fun, social and quite the dancer during the reception haha. Everyone loved him and his works speaks for him.. literally and figuratively!
