5/5 from 170 reviews
Photo of Dr Kelsey Graham Dr Kelsey Graham "Catie Our families have different religious backgrounds, and we wanted our service to A) not offend anyone and B) be a reflection of our relationship. Kelsey is amazing and did both flawlessly. He's so agreeable and attentive. He met us before the wedding, we had an awesome conversation, and he came up with brilliant ideas to incorporate into our wedding ceremony. Our wedding was far from cookie cutter thanks to him. He even helped with a last-minute adjustment due to the weather. Our day was absolutely perfect, and Atom and I gained a wonderful friend in the process! We will always stay in touch with him no matter where our life together takes us. You get so much more than just a wedding officiant with him. We feel like our lives are better for meeting him and his wife!" Based in Montgomery, Alabama Catie - Wedding Photo of At-The-Altar, LLC At-The-Altar, LLC "I'm the owner of Greene Olives, and I recently had the pleasure of working with At-The-Altar. We were hired to bartend a wedding where they were hired as event coordinators. I must say, they were amazing from beginning to end. Friendly, professional, informative, and organized are just a few words to explain their quality of service. I must also highlight their time management. With them there the night flowed seamlessly. As bartenders we often have to control crowds and lines. They assisted us effortlessly so that guests didn't miss out on important moments throughout the reception. At the end of the night they were proactive about having everyone out the venue on time and ensured that it was clean and turnkey ready. I've worked many weddings and it's very noticeable when people opt out of a day-of-coordinator. At-The-Altar is the perfect example of why they are such a pivotal part of the wedding team. I would absolutely work with them again and wish them much success as they continue to grow." Based in Schaumburg, Illinois Gabrielle Photo of Eva Engman Officiant Eva Engman Officiant "Simply Brilliant! My now wife and I flew over to New York from the UK in October- we knew what we were looking for in an Officiant- warm, socially 'in-tune' and fun! From the moment we met Eva over video call a few months before our wedding, we knew we had hit the jackpot! Eva explained the whole process and made what could be a nerve-wracking time become seamless. She was flexible (we changed the time more than once) and took time to explain in good detail the process of acquiring our marriage license. She suggested the most perfect venue in Dumbo for our ceremony- we would have never found Max Family Garden without her. Eva really wanted to find out about us and our story. She took on board our questionnaires and took the time to get to know us- quite a skill when the couple live on the other side of the Atlantic! Eva listened to all of our wishes for the day- even down to what she should wear in accordance with our colour scheme! The ceremony she put together still blows us away now- she made it entirely personal, she added her brilliant humour to the occasion and brought our story to life. Eva really was one of the stand outs from our day and I only wish we could do it all again. I would wholeheartedly recommend Eva as your Officiant if you want your day to feel personal, full of love, happiness and warmth. We cannot thank her enough!" Based in Manhattan, New York Lucy Photo of ELCANTCHO Ministries ELCANTCHO Ministries "Rev. Elie Calice Njatang Tchoubfong is a true servant of Jesus Christ. If you're looking for a Christian wedding, I highly recommend him. Fluent in both English and French, he seamlessly accommodated me and my husband, ensuring our bilingual guests felt included. He incorporated key elements like our sand ceremony and personal vows, making the day extra special. His guidance ensured our scripture selections flowed smoothly, and the Holy Spirit's presence was felt throughout. We were honored to be married by Rev. Elie, who beautifully united both our religious and state ceremonies. We wholeheartedly recommend this man of God." Based in Frederick, Maryland Fabienne & Jean Baptiste - Spirit-Filled Bilingual Wedding Ceremony with Rev. Elie Photo of Italian Event Planners Italian Event Planners "I chose Italian Event Planners because I already knew Serena, and she planned the wedding of my dreams in October 2024. Throughout the whole planning journey I had a steady shoulder to lean on, a true professional who helped me choose the very best for my event. A special thank you to the rest of the team who were there on the day and supported me emotionally as well—each of you was fantastic. Andrea and I are so happy we chose you, and we would make the same choice a thousand times over." Based in Amalfi Coast, Campania, Italy 9th November 2026 Francesca & Andrea - Destination Wedding Photo of Symbolic Wedding Celebrant Symbolic Wedding Celebrant "Hello, I would like to thank Mirco from the bottom of our hearts. He was really very good at describing our story. From the first moment, my partner and I immediately felt at ease with him. He made us laugh, smile and cry, and we really could not have wished for more. He celebrated our wedding in a special setting, with a view of the Colosseum... what can I say? Really the best. He also recommended a florist where we bought a small bouquet, and a photographer who took wonderful photos of us. We recommend them wholeheartedly. Valentino and Josè" Translated from Italian Based in Rome, Latium, Italy 7th November 2026 Valentino

Frequently asked questions

The average cost of hiring wedding officiants / wedding celebrants is $550, with prices from $95 to $950+. Cost depends on the officiant's experience, the length of the ceremony, the level of personalisation and travel distance. Many officiants offer consultations and rehearsal attendance as part of their package.

The wedding officiants / wedding celebrants lead and shape wedding ceremonies. They work with the couple to write a personalised ceremony that reflects their story, values and preferences. Some officiants are legally authorised to perform marriages, while others provide a ceremonial service alongside a legal registration.

Common events for wedding officiants / wedding celebrants include non-traditional weddings, vow renewals, naming ceremonies, commitment ceremonies and elopements. A celebrant-led ceremony usually allows more flexibility and personalisation than a standard legal ceremony, though the rules on what is legally binding vary by country.

Most wedding officiants / wedding celebrants need several meetings or calls with the couple before the ceremony to plan the content, so plenty of lead time is important. Popular dates fill up quickly, and six to twelve months of notice is ideal. Gig Heaven recommends making enquiries as early as possible.

Booking as early as possible increases the chance of securing your supplier's availability on your event date, particularly during busy times of the year. However, many suppliers also accept last minute bookings, and we have successfully arranged bookings for clients with just a few hours' notice.

Contact the supplier you are interested in booking by clicking "Contact Now" on their listing. Discuss your requirements using our messaging system or join a video meeting (like a Zoom-call) to speak face-to-face. Once you are ready to confirm your booking, simply ask the supplier to send you a contract, which you can agree to online, or request amendments. Once you agree to the contract you will be asked to pay a 10% booking fee to confirm the booking, with the balance payable directly to the supplier by the due date you've agreed on.
