Tickets Available! AMM’s Atlanta Wedding Officiant Education & Networking Day

Mark your calendars -- American Marriage Ministries is headed to Atlanta, Georgia in April to host our very first officiant education and networking event! 

 

 

Update: AMM Events has rebranded! Check out AMM's Officiant Accelerator to learn more, and to purchase tickets to an officiant training seminar near you! 

 

 

A few months ago, we sent a newsletter to our ministers asking when and where you’d like us to host a day of face-to-face wedding officiant training and networking. We received votes for New York, Nashville, Orlando, and Los Angeles, and dozens of other amazing cities and towns across the country… but Atlanta was the clear winner! 

 

Want our next seminar to be in your city? 
Sign up for our monthly newsletter to cast your vote.

 

 

It’s easy to see why wedding officiants love Atlanta – this vibrant, LGBTQ+ friendly southern city boasts more than 30,000 weddings each year, and is home to over 300 wedding venues, and nearly 10 million bars, restaurants, and hotels. (We rounded up there…) It’s a city made for celebrating!  

 

So drive, fly, or bus your butts there, because we can’t wait to celebrate with you! Tickets are limited, so we recommend you reserve your seat now. All the important details and links to purchase a ticket are included below.

Join American Marriage Ministries for a day of learning how to be an impeccable officiant, networking and strategy seminars, and community building for officiants from the greater Atlanta area and beyond. 

 

We’re a diverse, knowledgeable, and thriving community, and for the first time ever, AMM is bringing our ministers together to create memories and elevate the conversation about what it means to officiate weddings and bring couples together during this important moment in their lives.

 

Join us on April 12 at the Hyatt Place Atlanta / Centennial Park to learn from experienced officiants and share your own knowledge during breakout sessions and discussion groups.
