Searching for an officiant for your wedding or other important ceremony can seem daunting. You want someone to officiate who you feel comfortable with, who you feel really knows you, and who can infuse love and light into the experience. You may have considered asking a friend or family member to officiate for you, but they may not know the steps to take to become an ordained officiant, they may not be comfortable with public speaking, and they may not be able to provide the same guidance an experienced professional officiant can give to ensure your ceremony runs smoothly.
