I'm looking for a good officient, any recommendations?

Reverend Frederick Jolicoeur. He is highly rec'd on here. I used him for my wedding and so have several others. He is very organized, works with you to write your ceremony and just makes everything go very smoothly.

Check the vendor sticky thread up top where everyone has listed their vendors.

Ok I will check him out.  I was on a website yesterday and the officient was charging a fee.  My friend had one and she just gave a donation.  Does anyone know what the norm is?

For an officiant, yes, there is a fee.  Mine is $325 which from what I could tell around here, it is on the lower end.  But they should be less than $500.

If you are getting married in a church, you typically won't have to pay for the pastor or priest, but you will be expected to make a donation to the church.  From what I've heard, the donation about is usually about the same as an officiant.
