2025 Officiant Accelerator Schedule: Wedding Officiants Training in Your City!

One-of-a-kind wedding officiants training: Learn how to officiate a wedding from the pros & take your business to the next level

 

It's time to take your dream to the next level, and we have a one-of-a-kind officiant training course to help you do it! AMM’s Officiant Accelerator is hitting the road in 2025 for another full year of wedding officiant training and networking opportunities in cities near you.  

 

What is Officiant Accelerator? 

 

Officiant Accelerator is a special wedding officiant training seminar designed for first-time officiants and established wedding vendors who want to gain new skills and expand their officiant business, presented by American Marriage Ministries (AMM) and the International Association of Professional Wedding Officiants (IAPWO).

 

Now in its third year, AMM's Officiant Accelerator program travels to cities across the country to bring officiants like you a full day of networking and hands-on training presentations. These fun events are designed to help you grow personally and professionally, no matter where you are in your journey as a wedding officiant. 

 

You’ll learn essential skills such as how to attract new wedding clients, how to market an officiant business, how to write the couple’s ‘love story’ for a custom ceremony, how to perform a simple handfasting ceremony, and much more. You'll also participate in a Q&A session with our guest panelists for a chance to get answers to your important questions about officiating, and leave feeling confident and inspired.

 

Each stop on our nationwide seminar tour includes presentations from experienced professional wedding officiants, educators, and coaches, including local vendors who understand the market in your area. You’ll learn from the best while connecting with other ministers who want to serve their couples to the best of their abilities.

 

Our Officiant Accelerator alums tell us that it’s an unforgettable experience. You’ll learn, laugh, and maybe even make some lasting friendships along the way.

 

That’s why we’re so excited to announce next year's dates and locations. So without further ado, here’s the 2025 Officiant Accelerator schedule.

 

We can’t wait to see you soon! 

 

 

Above, attendees at the Officiant Accelerator stop in NYC practiced how to officiate a wedding in a mock ceremony with other officiants. Purchase your ticket today for hands-on experience like this to help you feel confident, connected, and ready to officiate weddings for couples in your area -- or anywhere love takes you!

Get Ordained Online to Officiate a Wedding or Elopement Ceremony! 

The first step to becoming a wedding officiant with AMM is free online ordination!

|* custom-button, "https://theamm.org/ordination-application", "ORDAINED MINISTER ONLINE APPLICATION" *|

Why AMM? American Marriage Ministries is an inclusive nondenominational internet church that ordains and trains ministers to officiate marriage ceremonies. We are a recognized 501(c)(3) nonprofit church, and help people from all backgrounds and beliefs become ordained ministers for weddings. Our online ordination is free, accessible, and never expires.

 

Officiating weddings is an incredible honor, and a great way to show your love and support for the people getting married. As a wedding officiant, you will help to create personal ceremonies and memories that last a lifetime.

AMM Ministers can legally officiate weddings in every state* (it's much harder in Virginia, where we're looking into our options). After getting ordained with AMM, you might need to register your ordination with your local county clerk’s office. Click the link above to get started!
