Welcome to Officially Yours!
From today until your day...we do
Congratulations on your engagement! It’s a big, exciting, and often overwhelming step in life. We completely understand that planning a wedding ceremony isn’t easy to do alone. Besides each other (of course!), love, and rings, you’ll need a fun and reliable officiant to perform the ceremony of your dreams. That’s why we decided to start Officially Yours.
We help choose and plan your wedding vows, officiate your wedding ceremony, and perform additional rituals that you may choose to add to your special day. We will also assist you with the marriage license process and filing your county certificate as needed. If you’re already married, we would be more than happy to renew your vows as well!
Officially Yours is able to perform your ceremony at any location in the state of Ohio, and we are available 7 days per week.
Booking now for 2021 and 2022!
Services and Products
Standard Wedding Ceremonies
We will officiate the wedding ceremony of your choosing based upon your own preference and style. We currently offer Traditional, Standard, Christian, Romantic, Funny, Simple, and Fast and Fun ceremonies. Personal, Handfasting, Jewish and Interfaith Muslim ceremonies are also available upon request. If you prefer to write your own vows, we will help you create the perfect script.
Wedding Ritual Ceremonies
In addition to a standard wedding ceremony, we also offer popular wedding rituals that will add some flair and originality to your big day. We currently perform Jumping the Broom, Unity Candle, Sand Pouring, Time Capsule, Cord of Three Strands, and Wine Unity ceremonies. All supplies are included and yours to keep. Have something else in mind? Let us know!
Certificates of Marriage
Commemorate your big day with a keepsake marriage certificate and holder that you can keep forever. Choose from six designs: gold - gleaming wedding rings or sleek ULC shield, silver - two facing doves or contemporary hand heart depiction, bronze - single yellow rose or bouquet of 3 red roses. Shadow boxes also available!
Vow Renewals
Already married? We will perform a ceremony similar to a wedding to renew your vows and celebrate your love anew. Whether it’s been 5 years or 35 years, hosting a vow renewal can be very exciting, especially when you can make your beautiful family a part of it! Your ceremony script will be individually personalized to fit your marriage, personalities, and circumstances. You are not required to obtain a marriage license for a vow renewal.
