Help! I need a wedding officiant script… now!  

 

Sound familiar? 

 

Being asked to officiate a wedding ceremony for the first time is a huge honor, but it can also be stressful, especially if you’re asked to officiate at the last minute. 

 

And if you haven’t been to a lot of weddings in the past, you might not even know what a wedding officiant is supposed to say or do at one of these things! 

 

Don’t worry, we’ve got you covered. 

 

We have dozens of free sample wedding ceremony scripts available for you to choose from in our online script library.
