Tim Greathouse, Ohio Wedding Officiant 
Rating: 5.0 (43 reviews)
Canton, OH
  • Offers 10 ceremony types
  • Starts at $150
  • Serves Ohio

What’s the right wedding ceremony for a religiously independent couple? A courthouse ceremony is cold, impersonal, and over in a flash. A church ceremony is usually just a long sermon to which your actual ceremony is a sideshow. Pick your poison - a quick, dry affair with no heart, or a long, tedious slog that flies in the face of your worldview. Or... chuck that poison and grab the champagne. I got you, boo! I perform deeply personal, customizable ceremonies for couples who care about the content of their ceremony and want the declaration of their love and commitment to be truly unforgettable. 800+ ceremonies, 500+ rehearsals, 17 years!

Working with Tim was a dream come true! He made the whole process of working together simple and easy to understand. We had fun as a couple answering his questions and he drafted a perfect ceremony that us and our families loved. He came to our rehearsal and made us feel so at ease about the entire process on our wedding day. He also has a wonderful spirit and amazing stage presence. We couldn’t recommend him more! We are so happy he was a part of our special day. Thank you Tim!

Prismatic Ceremonies - Officiant Brittany Wasson

Youngstown, OH

  • Starts at $375
  • Serves Ohio

Hi! I’m Brittany, an LGBTQ+ inclusive wedding officiant based in Youngstown, Ohio, creating prismatic ceremonies for couples of all backgrounds and identities in Northeast Ohio. Whether you’re planning a vibrant celebration, cozy elopement, or modern micro wedding, I bring heart, humor, and custom scripts to make your day unforgettable. I chose to be ordained by American Marriage Ministries because of their mission to support equal access to marriage. I am a safe space for queer couples navigating the wedding industry.

Brittany was the very best choice I made for my wedding!! She has a talent for understanding your vision and making it come to life (while honoring your budget!) She did all the leg work finding and haggling with vendors and made it so I could plan my wedding from another state, and work full time, without feeling overwhelmed by wedding planning. I may have been the least stressed bride on the planet!! She did a great job communicating with me and keeping my nerves in check and the way she managed the days events left me to enjoy just being a bride! 10 out of 10! She's a thrifty queen's dream come true!

In the last two years, Robert stepped up and performed the End of Life celebrations for both my mother (his grandmother) and my best friend, (his other mother). The ceremony brought heartfelt tears of sorrow, and much laughter of joy and celebration! We couldn't have asked for a better dedication!

Minister Sharnise Sears 
Rating: 5.0 (3 reviews)
Willoughby, OH
  • Offers 7 ceremony types
  • Starts at $1,250
  • Serves Ohio

Hi, I’m Minister Sharnise Sears, a licensed wedding officiant and certified marriage educator who believes your ceremony should feel like *you*, not a script pulled off the internet. I work with thoughtful, intentional couples who want their wedding day to be beautiful, but their *marriage* to be even better. If you're careful about who you spend your money with (and rightfully so), you’ll find I bring heart, purpose, and just enough personality to make your ceremony unforgettable, in the best way. Let’s make your “I do” truly mean something.

Sharnise was such an integral part of our wedding day and preparation. She provided premarital coaching services to us and acted as our officiant. We would recommend her to anyone for either service in an instant, but absolutely do the premarital coaching!! The experience is not cookie cutter or scripted. She really takes the time to get to know you individually and as a couple. The way she can simultaneously guide difficult conversations with truth and loving kindness is a gift. It is also such an incredible feeling to walk into a marriage feeling equipped. Sharnise's talents don't end with coaching though. She is also an incredible officiant. One of the biggest compliments we had about our wedding was how beautiful the ceremony was. She made sure everything flowed flawlessly no matter the minor hiccups. You'll want her by your side for all your emotions, both tears and laughter. With most vendors all the preparation is for the wedding day, this is such a unique opportunity to have someone on your team who also prepares you for the time after the wedding. Our biggest piece of advice to anyone who is engaged is prepare for BOTH the wedding day and marriage. And if you're looking for a way to do that, look to Sharnise Sears. The conversations are just the beginning. Thank you, Sharnise!

If Chris is available on your big day, look no further and just book him. We were so unsure of where to turn as we are not religious so we didn't have a preacher but also didn't have any family or friends we could visualize to do our ceremony, which so many people do now (Hire the pro!). I'm so so glad we found him! Chris is great because he does a great non-religious ceremony, under 30 minutes (what we wanted), and is so engaging, funny and easy to work with. Our guests loved our ceremony so much and wondered how we knew him (spoiler alert: we didn't know each other before we booked him for our wedding) because he made our ceremony so personal and told our beautiful love story so masterfully. After speaking with Chris my now husband and I both immediately wanted to move forward with him. After booking we got a somewhat long questionnaire, parts were for both of us to fill out together and we each had other parts that we filled out individually telling our version of our love story in our own words which made for a quite fun ceremony. While the questionnaire was long it was necessary to have the personalized ceremony we both wanted. We were able to meet with him in person when he was in Cincinnati, he also works in NYC, for another wedding and he is such a joy to be around. Once he was done with our ceremony he sent us a draft and we made a few small adjustments but it was PERFECT. Chris also ran our rehearsal and he did amazing organizing everyone and making sure that people knew what they needed to do. The ceremony couldn't have been more perfect on our wedding day, he has great timing, he is funny, engaging and had about 75% of our guests crying by the end. The video of our ceremony gets me misty every time. Thank you again Chris!

Hi, I’m Matthew Loveless, and I’m thrilled that you’re considering me to be a part of your special day. My journey as a wedding officiant began in 2014 when I was asked to officiate my brother’s wedding. It wasn’t your typical ceremony—picture me wielding a sledgehammer! But that’s when I realized something: I love performing weddings, and the more unique and unconventional, the better! Since then, I’ve been passionate about creating ceremonies that are as distinctive as the couples I serve.

Awarded Best of Zola
Matthew was the best decision we made for our wedding day. I would recommend him over and over and over again! He truly showed up and gave his all for us, all in a tweed suit in humid 90 Michigan weather, nonetheless. Communication was immediate and thorough. With the addition of next step advice and willingness to be included in those steps. He uses his unique personality to relate to you both and if you have the trust for him to portray yourselves through him and his speech, you can really see that he throughly enjoys what he’s been doing for all these years. We had a hand fasting ceremony and wouldn’t you know it, I forgot our cord. He had absolutely zero second thoughts to taking his tie off of his own neck for us to use right then and there and he completely saved our ceremony from one of the things I was most excited about. Not only that, he personally mailed and updated us timely, on our license and progress after the ceremony. We had countless compliments on him from friends, family and guests and each time we couldn’t agree more. I don’t think we’ve told anyone our story yet without including him in it. For memories sake I hope he did make it into a few photos! BOOK HIM!
