“Can My Friend Officiate?”

“Can We Officiate Ourselves?”
Yes! In Colorado no officiant is legally required, so if you want to do your vows and “I Do’s” on your own that is perfectly fine—and legal! I also provide a guide on how couples can go about this process. Generally, I only recommend this route for groups with no guests, if you are having guests, generally more comfortable to have one of them lead the ceremony.

“I Just Want The Cheapest Wedding Officiant”
If you’re searching for the “cheapest” option, I recommend going to Craigslist and looking for someone who is just starting out. If you’re looking for the best value, budget-friendly, professional officiant who’s going to go above and beyond to make your day awesome (while still charging less then the competition)… Then you’re in the right place!
