Here's a step-by-step guide on how to choose an officiant for your wedding.

Steps

01.

 

DEFINE YOUR CEREMONY STYLE

 

Figuring Out What Feels Right

First things first, chat with your partner about the vibe you're going for. Are you into something traditional, or are you aiming for a ceremony that's a bit more laid-back and personal? For instance, one Redditor shared, "We both wanted something spiritual but not tied to one religion, so we went with someone who could blend different elements smoothly."

02.

 

PERSONAL RECOMMENDATIONS AND RESEARCH

 

 

Scour Your Network and the Internet

One couple found their dream officiant through a friend who had recently tied the knot. They said, "Our friend recommended her officiant who was super chill and totally got what we wanted." Also, don't forget to hit up online wedding forums and check out reviews—real couple feedback is gold!

 

03.

 

THE INTERVIEW PROCESS

 

 

Chatting It Up with Potential Officiants

It's like dating—you gotta meet to see if there’s a vibe! One Reddit user mentioned, "We met with three different officiants and asked them all sorts of questions about how they handle ceremonies. It was the one who joked right back with us that we knew was 'the one.'"

 

04.

 

CONSIDER A FRIEND OR FAMILY MEMBER

 

Keep It in the Family... or Friend Circle

This option can add a super personal touch. A lot of folks on Reddit talked about how having a friend or family member officiate made their day extra special. "My sister did ours, and it was hilarious and heartfelt because she threw in all these inside jokes."

Final Thoughts: Trust Your Gut


Go with Who Makes You Feel Good

At the end of the day, pick someone who gets you. Like one commenter said, "We just clicked with our officiant right away. She made us feel relaxed, and we laughed a lot, which was exactly what we wanted."
