Question: How Do I Find Officiants Who Perform Gay Weddings to Recommend to My Clients?

Bernadette Coveney Smith - Thursday, September 22, 2011

I have a bunch of questions that have come in from wedding professionals and I'll be answering a bunch in the coming weeks.  Here we go:

Question:  What's the best way to find officiants who are qualified and willing to do a gay wedding?

Answer: You have to ask officiants individually. This is part of the process of building your team of vendors (not just officiants) who are gay owned and gay-friendly businesses. There's no getting around it. You just have to ask and make an assessment of how comfortably they answered the question. A good resource for officiants who have a specific understanding of gay weddings is the Celebrant Institute

Do you have any burning questions?  Ask them here and I'll answer in an upcoming post!

I am a wedding officiant in Upstate SC,where unfortunately gay marriage is not legal. However, I can do a commitment ceremony! Let me know if anyone in SC, NC, or GA would like to have me perform a commitment ceremony! Thanks! Penny
