Who is performing your ceremony?

We want to know who's who in your I do crew!

Who is performing your ceremony? Your minister, a friend or family member, a hired officiant, or someone else? Who’s officiating your wedding ceremony?

    My great friend and mentor is playing the piano for our ceremony! She was my yearbook and choir teacher in high school but we because such great friends through that and we stayed close after I graduated. I'm so honored she agreed to play!

    A hired officiant. We wanted to have a friend of ours get ordained and do it but our state would require them to go to the county clerk's office in person to submit their documents pricing

    I come from a very religious family with bishops, deacons, ministers etc so more than likely one of my family members lol

    Proving they can perform the ceremony. Our friend lives in a different state so we thought that was a bit more stress than any of us wanted

    Ooh, yeah, that would be tough for your friend. But it was a nice thought! Have you met with your officiant yet?

    My husbands cousin! She was amazing! When we were talking it over we knew we wanted someone close to us and we wanted a woman. She just jumped to mind.

    She wrote the ceremony, interviewed us, we trusted her so much we requested not to hear the final ceremony until we were standing at the altar. I couldn't have been happier.

    One of the pastors at our church! He was a member of our couple's small group and a close, personal friend of ours. He nailed it!

    Literally everyone attending our wedding will be a part of the ceremony. Sounds weird but it's going to mean the world to us. No one will be an official officiant - (spiritual ceremony)

    We hired our officiant - and our stylist is her daughter! We got a discount for booking them together, and they talk regularly so that helps with some of the logistics juggling. Why isn't this more common?

    My uncle will be our officiant! He's ordained and has done a few weddings before. I wouldn't want any other person to marry us, he was very touched when he asked him too Smiley smile

    WE selected an Officiant from the preferred Vendor List. Turns out he actually performed the wedding ceremony at the 1996 Olympics in Atlanta.
