Officiant Recommendations?

LedZeppelin

I could really use help finding an officiant. I have no idea where to start for this one. Do you guys have any good suggestions? Also, neither FI nor I are religious, so we would need someone who is OK with that. Thanks for your help!

I'm no help, but good question.  I was just about to ask for recommendations for this too!

I posted some in my bio under AZ vendors.  I am not using any of them, because my pastor is doing it, but I think it's a good starting point.

We're using Phil Waring with AZ Ministers.  He is a retired minister, but will do a secular ceremony (this was the first question we asked).  He is very nice and so funny when you meet him in person.  His wife is also very nice and does most of the correspondence.  She is always prompt at returning my emails.  They also allow you to customize your ceremony basically any way you choose.  Our wedding isn't until January, but from our meetings and conversations, I would suggest him.  Their website is www.azministers.com.  Hope that helps!

I am going to second Phil Waring.  He did not do ours because we had an Army Chaplain, but I used to work with a lot when I worked in the wedding bus.  He is wonderful!

I am using Jodi with Spirit and Light (http://www.spiritandlight.net/about/index.htm). They were recommended by 2 coworkers who used here and I believe there is another Knottie on this board that used her as well.
She customizes each ceremony to what you would like and your beliefs and has been wonderful to work with so far.

We used Reverand Giovanni.  We got soooooooo many compliments about how "cool" he was and how he livened up the ceremony with his sense of humor.  He did it in such a way to calm my nerves!    We are not super religious either.  He makes it was religious or non-religious as you want.  You choose all the different readings out of a folder he has put together and lets you use.  there are some good reviews (including mine) for him on weddingwire.com.  He was also very reasonably priced.  I think $199.  here is his website:www.revgiovanni.com

Goodluck,
