About

On WeddingWire since 2013

Your Wedding Officiant is a wedding officiant service in Irwin, Pennsylvania but servicing the tri-state area. We specialize in providing personal and unique wedding ceremonies reflective of a couples life, love, and desires! We are open to ALL COUPLES! We will work with you to provide the type of wedding ceremony you want and desire. Whether Secular or Spiritual, Short or Long, Inside or Outside - your desire is our guiding principle. Although you may choose any member of our staff to perform your wedding ceremony (depending on availability), during the planning process you will be working with Rev. Dennis to design the ceremony which will be a remembrance for you, your family and friends.

Staff

Reverend Dennis M. Wargo, M.Div.

I am a formally educated, trained, and ordained married catholic priest/minister with years of experience and 100’s of weddings under my belt. I specialize in non-denominational marriage ceremonies. Although the wedding ceremonies I perform are not recognized by the Roman Catholic Church, they are recognized as legal by the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania in that I am certified by the International Council of Community Churches and a member of CITI Ministries, Inc.. I use my strong background working with my clients to perfect their ceremony. I have received formal training in Ceremony Construction, Ceremony Execution, Public Speaking, and various belief systems that coupled with my experience creates a winning combination. I am a graduate of Duquesne University, Pittsburgh (B.A. – Philosophy and Theology) and Christ the King Seminary, E. Aurora, N.Y (Master of Divinity - Pastoral Theology and Counseling). I have also done Post-Graduate studies at various locations.

    Everything we could've wanted

    Rev. Dennis was such a great choice for our officiant. I loved that he provided several different choices for each piece of the ceremony or left it open to be fully customized. The ceremony as a whole was also fully customizable which my husband and I loved because we really didn't have any idea what we wanted to say in the ceremony. He was also such a great resource during the planning process to answer any questions and address any concerns even up until the night before the wedding where I had emailed him asking to add one additional thing to the ceremony. He also wrote a beautiful piece to add to the remembering those who passed portion of the ceremony in remembrance of my father who recently passed. I'd highly recommend Dennis to anyone for their upcoming nuptials or various other commitment ceremonies, he is open to any and all couples of various ceremony choices whether religious or not as well as from casual up to the most formal.

    Wonderful experience!

    Your Wedding Officiant was so wonderful to work with! My husband and I live in Arizona, so we initially thought finding an officiant in Pennsylvania was going to be challenging since we didn’t live there, but Your Wedding Officiant made it so easy! They were very responsive and helped us design a lovely ceremony. Judy Shannon was our assigned officiant and we got to meet her over Zoom to finalize everything. When it came time for the rehearsal and wedding, she did a great job and helped make our day so special. We highly recommend Your Wedding Officiant!
