Officiants | Advice & Ideas

 

Decide What Kind of Ceremony You Want

Do you want a ceremony that’s traditional or unique? By the book or personalized? Religious or secular? Whatever you want, there’s probably someone out there who offers it; it’s really just a matter of knowing what that is.

See How Personal The Officiant Will Make The Ceremony

Including personal details within the ceremony is a great way to give the effect that the officiant has known the couple for longer than they actually have. The officiant may look to include brief stories of the couple that the guests may find humorous.

Ask How Much The Officiant Charges and How They Base Their Cost

Officiant’s rates will likely be based on the date, time of day, and how far they have to travel. Some officiants may charge extra for additional ceremonies like unity candles or sand ceremonies. It’s important to understand all of the costs upfront.

The type and length of ceremony, travel, and premarital counseling all affect the cost of a wedding officiant.

Whether you decide to blow it out with a big wedding or elope with just the two of you at city hall or the county courthouse, your nuptials should be one of the most special days of your life. Hiring the perfect wedding officiant will be the cherry on top of a cherished memory, so let’s break down exactly what you need to find the best match.

Officiating a Wedding

Wedding officiants are ordained members of a religious organization or civil officiants authorized by the court or, increasingly, by an online source to legally marry a couple. Wedding officiants can be found from a wide range of backgrounds including Christian, Catholic, Jewish, Muslim, Buddhist, non-denominational, interfaith or nonreligious. Officiants perform the ceremony and ensure you and your partner are married under law. They take care of structuring the ceremony and assisting with rehearsals if requested.

What Affects the Cost of a Wedding Officiant?

The type and length of the ceremony, travel, guest count, wedding ceremony rehearsal, and add-ons can all affect wedding officiant cost. At its simplest, a wedding ceremony includes the signing of the marriage certificate as well as an exchange of vows. Many officiants refer to this as an elopement or a basic package.

Expanding the ceremony to include religious or symbolic rituals, readings or other elements may affect the cost of the service.

Type of ceremony

Costs vary greatly depending on the type of ceremony. A simpler event, such as an elopement, will cost less than a larger wedding ceremony. Officiants frequently perform these types of weddings:

  • Traditional wedding
  • Commitment ceremony
  • Vow renewal
  • Elopement

Premarital counseling

Many wedding officiants offer premarital counseling to couples and recommend it particularly when the couple being married is interfaith. This service adds to the overall costs, but it offers an opportunity to save when purchased from the person conducting the ceremony and bundled into one cost.

Wedding rehearsal

Attendance at the wedding rehearsal is not always included in the cost of the officiating fees. Ask the officiant whether their participation in the wedding rehearsal will incur additional charges.

Guest count

Larger weddings often mean higher fees. Smaller, more intimate weddings or an elopement may reduce the cost of the officiant’s services.

Customized ceremony

Customization can increase costs. Many officiants offer a standard ceremony template. At the pre-wedding meeting, the officiant will ask whether the couple plans to write their own vows and how much input they have about the rest of the wording and flow of the ceremony. Additional planning meetings and extra communication can add up to a higher overall cost.

Travel

Travel to and from rehearsal and ceremony sites may affect the cost of the service. Finding an officiant in the same city or town may eliminate any applicable travel costs.

Length of ceremony

Ceremonies can be short and sweet or expansive and all-encompassing. Typically, the longer the ceremony, the higher the officiant fee.

Add-ons

Sound systems, wireless microphones, and videography services are add-ons that some officiants offer. If you want these extras, it will also increase the overall cost.
