About this vendor

Weddings by Ryan is based in La Porte, Indiana, and provides wedding officiant services.

Your love story isn’t copy-pasted from a template—so why should your wedding ceremony be? I create vibrant, personalized ceremonies that capture exactly who you are as a couple. Less cliché, more you. Skiping the boring scripts, I try to build a moment your guests will talk about for years, or at least remember!

My goal is to make your ceremony all about you as a couple, your story, and then tell your story in the time allotted, as you celebrate your special day together.

Highly Recommend Ryan

The wedding we planned was cancelled due to Covid (shut down 2 weeks prior to wedding date). With all the last minute changes, Ryan was amazing. He helped set up our Facebook Live wedding, kept me calm throughout the mandatory changes, and still personalized our vows. Ryan went above and beyond to give me the wedding I had dreamed of. His humor and personalization had us laughing throughout the ceremony, while keeping all the traditions of the wedding we originally planned. We highly recommend Ryan!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
