Officiant Services - $325

At Hearts & Happiness, we create calm, beautifully organized wedding days so you can focus on what matters most — celebrating your love. Whether you need full planning support or professional guidance on the wedding day itself, our services are designed to meet you exactly where you are.

Hearts & Happiness is fully licensed and insured, meeting the requirements of venues that require on-site professional wedding planners and coordinators.

Your love story deserves to be told with care, intention, and joy—and we would be honored to tell it.

Our wedding and elopement officiant services are thoughtfully crafted to reflect who you truly are, not just what tradition expects. Each ceremony includes custom-written vows and wording tailored to your unique love story. We take the time to get to know you—how you met, what binds you together, and the moments that matter most—then weave those details into a ceremony that feels personal, heartfelt, and unmistakably yours. Whether you’re exchanging vows in an intimate elopement or standing before family and friends in a full celebration, your ceremony will be warm, meaningful, and beautifully delivered. From romantic and classic to lighthearted and modern, every ceremony is designed to honor your connection and set the tone for the day ahead.

We also offer Hand-Fasting Ceremonies!
