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.

Better than we ever expected

He was great and made a small ceremony very personal. He was so much better than we could have expected. Definitely would recommend.

Ryan Was The Best

We highly recommend Ryan to any couple looking for an exceptional wedding officiant. He was one of the highlights of our wedding day. From the beginning, it was clear that he genuinely cared about getting to know us and understanding our story, and that personal investment made all the difference. Ryan was fun, funny, and had a delightful sense of humor that kept everyone smiling and laughing while never losing sight of the sacredness of marriage. He captured our story beautifully and delivered a ceremony that was heartfelt, engaging, Christ-centered, and uniquely ours. He struck the perfect balance between meaningful moments and lighthearted laughter. Our guests are still talking about how much they enjoyed the ceremony and how authentic and engaging Pastor Ryan was. He was organized, thoughtful, and a pleasure to work with throughout the entire process. If you want a ceremony that is personal, memorable, and honors God while reflecting your relationship, Ryan is the perfect choice.

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.
