List of Officiants

Look for your state, then look at the people available.   The name will connect to an email address or web page.  The third box indicates if they are ordained (legally able to perform marriages) and if they are willing to help you write your own vows or ceremony.   Some are willing to help you write a ceremony, some have ceremonies they like to use, and some expect you to design your own ceremony and just have them officiate.   The symbol gives some idea of what their personal religion is like.   When choosing someone to officiate at your ceremony, realize that you are expected to cover their expenses, plus add a modest honorarium.  Some of the Officiants have a set price for a ceremony, others leave it to the individual.  They are giving up their time and energy to make your ceremony successful so do be generous. 

To be added to this list, click here.  Please don't ask to be added if you do not do ceremonies for gay, lesbian, and other alternative couples and groupings.  People looking for clergy for het couples don't need this resource.

Logos [spoken with a soft "s"] works with couples to create customized scripts for weddings, then goes on to organize and perform the ceremonies. Customization involves creating the wording of the ceremony and putting together the elements [e.g. the processional & recessional, readings, homilies, vows, music, etc.]. This results in an original, one-of-a-kind wedding or commitment ceremony. Ceremonies can be secular, spiritual, &/or include traditional religious elements.
