Wedding Officiants

Whether you have a religious ceremony or a civil ceremony, your wedding should reflect the values of your relationship. The right officiant for you will always take the time to understand your needs, your personalities, and your wedding day wishes so that he or she can set the proper tone.

If you have a particular religious leader in mind – e.g., the rabbi from the temple in which you grew up – ask them politely if they will perform the ceremony. Let them know that it would mean so much to you to have them preside over your wedding, but try not to be too disappointed if the rules of your faith prevent him or her from doing so.

Because your officiant will to some extent shape your wedding ceremony, it is very important that you choose an officiant with whom you are comfortable. Your wedding officiant or celebrant is the person who will preside over the actual wedding ceremony.
