Officiant...MAJOR help needed

So FH and I would like to start looking into an officiant but have NO clue where to even start. We are having the ceremony at Flowerfield. I'm Catholic and FH is agnostic at best lol if not atheist. So really we are hoping to have a spiritual, but not religious ceremony. We also want someone with a personality, maybe a few laughs. Any suggestions ladies?

Agreed! I met her at a Bridal Expo, if I could have booked her right there I would have! My FW and I were raised Catholic but are more spiritual. My co-worker who is Muslim even loved her and booked her for her June wedding.

We're using Pastor April, who's customizing our ceremony to what we want. There's a few out there that are popular - good luck!

Pastor April is wonderful, however I actually know this BC my brother and SIL used her so we are trying to go in a different direction. She will do a great job at your ceremony!

same! FH and I were raised Catholic, but I don't consider us to be practicing Catholics. I wanted someone who would be spiritual, but also with a sense of humor and light-heartedness. rev. deb fit the bill!

Fr. Joe DeVincenzo. Amazing!

Completely agree! FH is Catholic and I wasn't really raised anything specific. He did an amazing mix of religious and not, and had me in tears when he went through a mock ceremony with us!
