Looking for a wedding script that’s just the right amount of witchy – with meaningful, traditional Pagan and Wiccan wedding elements that your conservative family members won’t even notice? We have the perfect choice!
This simple Wiccan wedding script includes a meaningful Pagan candle lighting wedding tradition (similar to a Unity Candle Ceremony), a timeless handfasting ceremony, and just a hint of magic.
“A true marriage begins before the wedding day, and lasts long after the celebrations have passed. It can be easy to lose sight of the ‘magic’ – the spark – of marriage, in the daily ups and downs of living. Take a moment to really look at each other. Just be here, right now, together. Do you feel the magic in this moment? Cherish it!
As you leave here today, let your wedding rings be a reminder of the love you feel. Let this knot be a symbol of your unbreakable bond. And may your friendship bring you back to each other, always!”
Your wedding officiant will cast a circle before guests arrive to keep this sacred part of the ceremony private and intimate, and close the circle at the end of the ceremony discreetly, with a few carefully chosen words.
This wedding script also includes all the necessary ingredients for a legal marriage ceremony, such as the formal Declaration of Intent and the officiant’s Pronouncement of Marriage. We’ve also included a few extra links to optional Pagan wedding blessings, a Wiccan love spell, and more, to help you personalize the day. Click the link below to read the full ceremony!
Writing a ceremony from scratch can be overwhelming! To make things easier, we've addded dozens of sample wedding ceremony scripts to the AMM Wedding Ceremony Scripts library. You can use any of these scripts for free, and personalize them with details from a couple's love story to make them one-of-a-kind.

Personalize your wedding ceremony even more by having a friend or family member serve as your wedding officiant! Friends can officiate a wedding by getting ordained online with American Marriage Ministries. Our ordinations are free and it only takes a couple seconds to complete the online application to become a minister.
