For more than 10 years, Philadelphia Officiants has cultivated a reputation for creating original, personalized wedding ceremonies, and for delivering those ceremonies flawlessly. We work with hundreds of couples every year, and their ceremonies are a beautiful and unforgettable experience for them and everyone in attendance. We believe that your ceremony is the most important and meaningful part of your wedding, so we do everything we can to make it absolutely perfect!
Our commitment to providing outstanding and attentive service remains the same, whether you’re planning a huge wedding celebration or a small, intimate elopement. For Custom Ceremonies, the wedding officiant we match with you will collaborate with you to develop a ceremony that’s completely customized for you: one that tells your story, suits your style, and includes all the elements that you’ve envisioned when you say “I do” (or whichever words you prefer to say instead!).
We offer three categories of service: Custom Ceremonies, Classic Ceremonies, and Legal Marriages. We’ve provided more details on each of those services below, and also included additional information on our Frequently Asked Questions page.

“Custom Ceremony” Package
The heart of our services at Philadelphia Officiants is our “Custom Ceremony” Package. Every couple we serve is a priority for us, and we strive to connect with each couple on the most personal level possible. We want to get to know you, and to understand your preferences for your ceremony completely – from your desire for either a religious or a secular service, and how formal or traditional (or unusual and eclectic) you want your ceremony to be. Learning this information enables us to match you with an experienced wedding officiant who is perfect for you. Of course, because we want you to be able to decide whether you agree it’s a great fit, we’ll ensure you have the opportunity to chat with the officiant before you commit to hiring us. You deserve to have that peace of mind and to be able to approach your ceremony planning with complete confidence.
Once you do book one of our Philadelphia Officiants, that’s when the fun really begins! First, you’ll secure our services using our super-easy online system – you can sign your contract electronically and submit payment all at once, with no hassle. Next, your officiant will work with you directly (whether over video chat or in person – the choice is yours) to discuss everything you want included as part of your own unique wedding ceremony. He or she will then write a complete draft of your ceremony from beginning to end, and will submit it to you for approval. We want you to feel sure the ceremony is perfect and exactly what you expect on your wedding day.
When your wedding day arrives, your officiant will get to the venue before his or her scheduled arrival time, coordinate with any other vendors who are involved with the ceremony, and perform the ceremony exactly as discussed: warmly and professionally. After the wedding is over, the officiant will file the wedding license so that your marriage is official!
ELOPEMENT CEREMONIES IN PHILADELPHIA
Not every couple desires a huge wedding celebration – for some, a more intimate elopement is ideal. That’s why, in addition to all the full-scale weddings we participate in every year, we at Philadelphia Officiants also specialize in elopement ceremonies. Our goal is to make these small wedding gatherings just as special and significant, and we’ve developed dedicated Philadelphia Elopement Packages to meet these couples’ needs. These packages are perfect for couples who are inviting 15 guests or fewer, and who want their ceremony to be short, sweet and simple.
