🌟 Elevate Your Moment with Us! 🌟
Welcome to Elevate Wedding Officiant, where your wedding isn't just an event – it's a legendary moment in the making. Since 2020, we've been redefining what it means to tie the knot, with a fierce team of twelve ordained ministers who are charismatic public speakers and bring the heat to every ceremony.
We don't just follow traditions; we elevate them. Whether you're dreaming of a classic ceremony with a touch of flair, a chic micro-wedding for your inner circle, or a daring elopement that screams romance and adventure, our team is here to ignite your vision and turn it into an unforgettable reality.
At Elevate, we're more than just officiants – we're storytellers, creators of epic moments that go beyond mere words. Anyone can read from a script; we craft and deliver a symphony of emotions that will be etched into your hearts forever.
The greatest validation of our work comes when the +1 guests approach couples after the ceremony, saying, "I feel like I've known you forever!" It's in those moments that we know we've succeeded in not just officiating a wedding, but in fostering genuine connections that will last a lifetime.
✨ 💖 Transparent Pricing 💖✨
At Elevate, transparency isn't just a buzzword; it's a cornerstone of our service. Unlike others who withhold pricing details until a consultation, we believe in upfront honesty. Visit our website for details about the services we offer, travel fees when our officiants travel more than 30 miles from their geo center, and add-on services such as Day of Coordinator or micro wedding planning.
💫 Officiant Coaching for your Friend or Family Officiant
Have a beloved friend or family member who's the perfect candidate to officiate your wedding? We provide script writing services and/or coaching to transform them into the perfect celebrant, ensuring your ceremony is filled with heartfelt moments and personal touches.

ur relationship so perfectly from our meeting & questionnaire. Bella (the coordinator at Elevate) worked with us closely to find us the perfect officiant and make sure she had everything she needed for us and for Robert for our ceremony. He curated the perfect ceremony with all our requests and all our guests (and of course my husband and I) loved him! We can't thank them enough.
Our ceremony was a dream come true! We were overjoyed with how thoughtful and meaningful our ceremony was. Our officiant, Robert, met with us online as needed to review the details...
, as our ceremony was 100% in Spanish. He included every detail we wrote on our couples’ questionnaire and tailored our ceremony script to our unique love history. Post the wedding; we continue to receive many compliments from our family and guests for how thoughtful and beautiful Robert officiated our civil wedding. We highly recommend Robert and Elevate Wedding. The communication is impressive; Bella is always available to answer any questions and is excellent at sending reminders to complete wedding vows and any other information needed to craft the ceremony according to the couple's unique story and needs. We highly recommend Elevate Wedding Officiant.

A preventable mistake ruined the ceremony for us ☹️
I was disappointed that the writers used the very thoughtfully written love story my husband wrote for our wedding website, th...
at we had submitted as context, almost word for word. Many of our guests had read it so it was much to everyone’s surprise when it was not only poorly condensed but also spat back out WRONG.
We were so upset about the way our story came off. Namely, making it seem that we were interested in dating each other when we first met- but we’re in other relationships- which couldn’t be more inaccurate. I was in shock and disbelief as we stood there in front of everyone. I wanted to cry. And I did for the next few days.
I reached out to the company to let them know what happened and they were very apologetic. They asked what they could do to make it better. Unfortunately short of time travel (or paying for our entire wedding which obviously would never happen) nothing can be done to get those precious moments back. For us, It set the tone for the rest of the night. Weeks later it’s been extremely hard to let go of.
Our ceremony was absolutely perfect for our big day. Robert went above & beyond on his speech. We had some many guests tell us they loved our officiant! 5 stars definitely go to Ro...

Our ceremony was perfect!
Keppen officiated our wedding and he was wonderful. The perfect amount of emotional and funny and I loved that Elevate write you a personalised ceremony. It was a perfect day.
Originally, we had a different Officiant company we were using for our wedding. 2 days before the wedding, that Officiant backed out, and introduced us to Elevate Wedding Officiant...
where we had the opportunity to work with David. David is amazing, he stepped up when we needed him most, made us feel comfortable and relaxed, and is an amazing speaker. While we were saying our commitments to one another, we heard laughs from the crowd, and not a single dry eye. The whole evening, our guests shared how beautiful the ceremony was and how they loved hearing our full love story. If you need an officiant or not sure if you should book an officiant and use a family member, look no more- David and Elevate Wedding Officiant were great- Quick to respond, there when you needed them, and make a beautiful and memorable ceremony with no stress.
My wife and I used Elevate Officiants for our wedding last summer (2023), Keppen was absolutely amazing throughout the entire experience! Between the pre-ceremony meetings to meet ...
us and talk about the ceremony, to the wedding day where he was the perfect blend of humor and ceremonial with our vows he made the process so easy and worry free. We received so many positive comments from guests on our ceremony and Keppen that I hope if your reading this will choose them and have the great experience that we did!

Elevate did a fantastic job helping to plan, officiate and photograph our sunrise wedding!
Bella was amazing at helping to coordinate everything and answering my 100+ questions ...
LOL!!!
Robert, our officiant, has such an amazing way of making ceremonies pop and he did that with ours. We wanted a lighthearted ceremony with more laughing and boy did he deliver. We laughed a lot but a few tears also came down.
Jen is an amazing person. We have only received 7 of our photos back so far... wedding was on 6/13/23... and they are incredible!!! I was not too happy with my hair and makeup team so was worried how I would look but she did an amazing job of capturing the exact moments that it doesn't matter that my hair and makeup wasn't perfect! To received photos the next day.... LOVE it... gives me something to look at until the entire album is ready!
They all did amazing! We had storms predicted for our sunrise ceremony and they were so helpful and told me everything would be perfect no matter what!
Highly recommend!!!
