Hello,
I have all of my vendors in order and the only thing that is missing it is an officiant for the wedding. I have looked through the ones on the knot and I have no idea what do you look for in an officiant?? Any suggestions and helps are welcome! Thank you!!

    I am using Calvin McIlroy. http://www.weddingofficiantfl.com/ 

    I really had no idea who to use, and my wedding coordinator recommended him. My FI and I met with him one afternoon, and we were sold! He is great, will do a variety of different services/customs and he also performs non-denominational services. He also provided me with a lot of material to help me plan my ceremony- because I really had no idea what i wanted He also provided me with some readings etc that we can add to our ceremony to personalize it. I believe he costs $250 (for consult, rehearsal, and, ceremony) and then we are also inviting him and his wife to the reception. 

    HTH!

    Definitely go with Katherine DeMarco from Made for Each Other Weddings.  She's a lovely, dignified lady.

    Ask your venue if they have a list of people. I got a great recommendation from my venue for a local pastor who is friends with one of the office staff.

    If you have everything else already planned and you only need someone to legally officiate,  I can help (if I am available on your date)... my fee for local/Tampa area  for just $75.00 for the 'simply sweet'  ceremony!!  Why pay someone double or triple that to come do the same exact thing?....  I offer a traditional /non-denominational service that still feels very spiritual (if you want that) and give you many choices of vows (unless you prefer to write your own).   I do not try and 'upsell' anyone as I believe ceremonies can and should be beautiful and memorable without breaking the couples wallet.

    I also offer other packages from $100-$600 that are all very tasteful and can be civil  and romantic or spiritual in nature and romantic  depending on what the couple prefers.   Some of my packages are comparable to what others are (shamingly( charging couples upwards of triple that amount for.


    I hope to hear from you... but if not, have a beautiful and memorable day!

    Hey there!  Check out Sandy Jarrell at www.ceremoniesbysandra.com She does a beautiful job and will also customize your ceremony to just about anything you want. She's really nice too. I believe her number is on her website.
    Good Luck and Congrats!
