How Do You Get Ordained To Perform A Non-Denominational Wedding?
Many couples are now choosing to have a friend or relative officiate their wedding ceremony rather than a judge or minister. This unorthodox honor may bring some anxiety: where do you begin? Luckily, it’s easier than it seems. Research the laws in the state and county where you will be performing the wedding to determine whether ordination will be necessary. There are various online ordination sites. Many of these services are free. The Universal Life Church is one of the most credible sites. Complete your online ordination form. Use your legal name and be sure to fact check all information on your application. Once you complete your form you will receive a certificate that is your receipt. Call the county clerk where the couple will be obtaining their marriage license to check that they will honor your ordination. The fun begins! Start planning your service!
