Molly Johnson | Your Wedding Officiant

weddings for everyone

I welcome you as you are, full stop - just as I hope you will welcome me too. As a secular officiant (and as a person) I aim to exist and work in a way that affirms you and your identity inclusive of race, class, ethnic or national origin, age, disability, gender identity or expression, sexual preference, religion, refugee or migrant status, houselessness, or incarcerated status.

Whatever your reason for choosing to marry, in whatever way that looks to you, I'm here for it and for you! I come with no agenda other than to make your ceremony what you want it to be and to support you and your day in a cared for way. 

why choose me?

I offer a bespoke experience that extends far beyond "making it official" - helping couples to dig deep and uncover the meaning of the moment; offering each ceremony draft as a unique portrait of your relationship; and serving as an anchor for what is for many the most emotionally charged part of the day. 

Not to mention...

• I work in response to each couple and don't start crafting your ceremony until I have a sense of you
• (aka I don't do templates!)
• I invite your input and adapt accordingly
• I approach weddings as an act of partnership
• I leave the patriarchal + heteronormative assumptions out of it
• I use gender neutral language so you can choose your own path
• I offer an abundance of choices to guide you
• I offer freedom to create + refine to your taste
• I book a maximum of 50 ceremonies each year
• I only book one large wedding per day so my focus is on you 
• I commit a 2hr window to every ceremony so I'm never rushing
• I dress in a way that meets the vibe of the day
• I bring a warm, calm, reassuring, laid back but highly organized, genuinely so delighted to get to do this with you kind of energy to all aspects - not to mention making the ceremony the part of your wedding the guests can't stop talking about! (or so these folks say...)

this sounds great - now what?

To check availability and learn more, send me a message including

• the date + approx time
• the location + venue
• how many guests
• a bit about the ceremony you are imagining 

I'll send you ceremony package details and options + other tidbits and if it's feeling like a good fit, we can plan a zoom call to chat more / or move forward with booking!

In the event that I'm unavailable for your date, I will happily help direct you to other cool officiants to contact.

the big day

There is something intangible about the feeling of a wedding - it's joyful, emotional, and it exists very much in the present moment. For many, it goes by in a flash. And what we end up remembering is rarely the material things but the way traditions get rewritten to become something wholly new, or the way families are forged on the dance floor. We remember the love that radiates between two people and the effect it has as it echoes out, touching each and every person who chooses to gather around them.

As your wedding officiant, my best advice to you is make your ceremony what you want it to be. It can be an elopement over donuts in your living room, a big top circus, a glam extravaganza, or a small to do with your nearest and dearest at the pub. Trust me when I say there is no one way to get married - whatever your two hearts desire is the path to follow and what I will help you fulfill.
