Is Your Friend or Family Member Ready to Officiate Your Wedding? We can help!

Are you 100% certain your chosen officiant is legally authorized to marry you in your state? Many couples discover too late that their friend's online ordination isn't valid where they're getting married, potentially leaving them not legally married after their ceremony.

Does your officiant know exactly what paperwork needs to be filed and when? Missing deadlines or filing incorrect documents can invalidate your marriage, creating costly legal headaches months later.

Will your friend or family member feel confident and prepared when all eyes are on them during your most important moment? Most people have never officiated a wedding and can struggle with nerves, forget important parts, or freeze up during the ceremony.

Have you clearly communicated your vision, or are you assuming they'll just "figure it out"? Mismatched expectations about tone, length, religious elements, and personal touches can lead to disappointment on your wedding day.

What happens if your chosen officiant gets sick, has a family emergency, or backs out at the last minute? Without a backup plan, you could be scrambling to find a replacement just days before your wedding.

Is choosing a friend or family member creating tension with other relatives who wanted the honor? Family dynamics can complicate what should be a joyful decision.
