Asked to Officiate

 

Originally written by expert and professional wedding officiant Bethel Nathan (who has performed nearly one thousand ceremonies), AMM recently acquired and updated this workbook - making it the most comprehensive, detailed, and helpful book of its kind on the market. Asked to Officiate will:

 

• Provide you with the ceremony basics (like the schedule, timing, participants, and order of a typical ceremony)
• Prepare you for all of your legal obligations – including state registration (if applicable)
• Help you work with the couple to craft their ceremony
• Supply a variety of pre-selected ceremony scripts that you can alter to suit your needs, or simply copy and paste
• Give you confidence to successfully create and deliver a meaningful, memorable ceremony

Ordination Certificate

 

This is the official document accepted by government offices stating that you are an ordained Minister with American Marriage Ministries. (There is an unofficial, digital version of your ordination certificate that is available to you in your Minister account to save or print is for your own personal record keeping - but please note that these digital, printable versions are not official copies, and will not be accepted by any government offices.)
 

The official copy of your ordination certificate - sold only in the AMM Store - is signed and affixed with AMM’s gold seal, and is accepted by all government offices as proof of your ordination.

Letter of Good Standing

This is a hard-copy official document bearing live signatures that is often requested by government offices that require minister/wedding officiant registration. It is addressed specifically to the state/county (and/or territory), signed by an American Marriage Ministries Officer, notarized by a Notary Public, and affixed with our official gold seal.

Our Minister's Manual is an excellent primer for those who want a crash-course on their rights and privileges as an AMM Minister, and to know how to make the most of your ordination. It's a perfect resource for new ministers that are about to perform a marriage and need some basic guidance. If you are unsure about the next steps, or are just learning about what it means to be an AMM Minister, this is your go-to resource! (Don’t forget: all of your state registration laws are included in your AMM Minister Manual, so it's a great book to keep handy and ready to reference!)

Commemorative Marriage Certificate

We offer a variety of these beautiful keepsakes so that officiants may treat couples to a commemorative wedding certificate to thoughtfully mark the occasion. (The one pictured here is our Signature style.) They are available in both blank and personalized styles. Presenting and signing these - after the official marriage license* is completed and signed, of course - also makes for a wonderful photo opportunity with the couple!

 

* Please note that these commemorative certificates are meant for gift-giving or display only, and are not official documents. The actual marriage license is obtained by the couple getting married at a county clerk’s office.
