Steps to become a wedding officiant in NJ

Check out American Marriage Ministries https://theamm.org/

My brother is getting ordained through AMM for our wedding. We are also in NJ, and I spoke with someone from the state department of health who said this site was fine to use, just to have him write it on our marriage license.

Hi Lee! Welcome to the WeddingWire Community! I suggest that you call your local county clerk's office for any information on becoming an official officiant in the state on New Jersey! As for the Jewish traditions, your friend will most likely need to take some courses at a local synagogue with a Rabbi or Jewish educator! I believe that a Rabbi is the only person who can fully conduct a Jewish wedding ceremony, and a family member or loved one can assist in the ceremony alongside the Rabbi. I highly reccomend calling your local place of worship to inquire about learning the Jewish traditions and the protocol for having someone officiate a Jewish wedding!

Before deciding on this you need to contact your local marriage license office and see if this is allowed. Many areas do not allow internet ordained people to perform legal ceremonies.

Hey Lee!

Were you able to get your friend ordained?! I'd love to hear how your planning is going!
