Services Offered

As the name implies, this is YOUR wedding. I will help you do it YOUR way. I will meet with you and go over how YOU want the service. Then I will have you review the service to make sure it is the WAY YOU WANT IT. This is YOUR big day. It should be YOUR WAY. This is a happy time. I really like helping brides and grooms make their wedding day the one they want. It is great to see the couples smiling, laughing, crying, and whispering during the ceremony.

Before the big day, YourWedding, YourWay is happy to complete a ceremony rehearsal to ensure that everything goes smoothly. He can accommodate several wedding types, including non-religious and interfaith ceremonies and civil unions. His ceremonies generally last less than 15 to 20 minutes, depending on the couple’s personal preference.

10/10 officiant!

As a newly engaged couple, my new husband and I had no idea of what we wanted for a ceremony! Thank goodness we had Carl as our officiant!! He had examples of structured ceremonies and gave us ideas of what to include in our ceremony. It turned out perfect and was done with such professionalism and compassion; if you haven’t booked with Carl yet I recommend you do so now!! Thank you Carl!

We ❤️ Carl

We absolutely loved having Carl as our officiant! From our first meeting with him, Carl came prepared with examples of previous ceremonies and ideas that we could incorporate into ours, which was extremely helpful as we didn’t know how we wanted our ceremony play out. On the wedding day, Carl was heartfelt, efficient, and helped make our ceremony go as smoothly and as beautiful as possible. Cannot recommend him enough!

Thank You Carl!

Carl was extremely easy to work with and helpful throughout this entire process. My now husband and I (yay!) are based in Canada and were able to meet with Carl virtually. He gave helpful tips for our marriage license, as well as lots of options for customization of the ceremony. I would recommend Carl in a heartbeat! Thanks Carl! :-)

Truly the best officiant!

Carl officiated my wedding this year and did an AMAZING job! Me and my husband did our own private vows and trusted Carl to do the ceremony. From start to finish Carl wrote the most beautiful declaration. I highly recommend Carl to officiate any wedding! 😊

Carl T 9/15/23

Carl spoke to us personally at our first meeting and I instantly Knew he was the one. I had a difficult time trying to find someone to be our officiant because of one thing or another. His values and background matched ours. He’s professional and can modify to your personal needs.
He’s eloquent and experienced. I’d highly recommend.
