10 Easy Tips for a First Time Officiant

[@annelemon3768]

Excellent tips! Im a professional wedding officiant, having performed hundreds of weddings. I follow most of these tips in my practice. It is really important to remember that the ceremony is not about the officiant or their opinions. Write the script and have the couple approve the language being used - Never go Off Script! No off the cuff remarks, no ‘surprises’ for the couple.

These tips are seriously the best advice you could give to someone officiating for the first time!

How curious... i sure do hope to become a marriage officiant one day, not professionally but just for my close ones

[@bbbbrockkk]

Thanks for this! You mentioned mailing in the marriage license, would I mail it to the court building in my county?

Tip #4 !!! Thank you

[@katerinameyvial6638]

That was super useful, thanks!

[@sueklausshow]

Is there any precedent for having the couple and witnesses to sign the wedding papers before they go down the aisle, while some music is playing? Before their Kiss and Recessional? Or do you just get them after their pictures are completed after al that has already happened?

[@jessicadguilloryojo5780]

Do you have a video on how to start a wedding business as an officiant?

[@kevaowens]

Thank you

[@Champagnerayza]

How do I get a marriage license or certificate? I’m the officiant for my sisters wedding and I have no clue

[@StuckUpAfDoe]

Do they have to be registered through the state?

[@UncommonCamellia]

After getting ordained which you can do here: www.ulc.org/ you may need to obtain documentation proving you are a licensed marriage officiant. These policies vary by state, and county or parish.

Who stands in between the wedding couple

[@DianaMartinez-wh9jq]

What if an officiant forgets to mail the marriage certificate? Curious

[@GilliMarieMoody]

Please, please, PLEASE tell “officiants” to stop wearing those horrid, open-toed Birk*nstock sandals. Please, please, please. Thanks🙂.
