As Seen On:
A Wedding Ceremony as Unique as You Are
Weaving your story into a
meaningful wedding celebration
My Approach
Weddings are a milestone marking an important part of your relationship journey — and they are worthy of a celebration! Your big day is just as important if it’s an intimate backyard wedding or full-scale celebration with hundreds of people.
“My commitment is to make your wedding personal, engaging, celebratory, and memorable.” – Steve Fredlund
Steve was great! He really made our day feel special and was so helpful through the whole planning process. He was very accommodating and met all our expectations!! Highly highly recommend!!
Savannah & Eric
Steve was fabulous at helping with my last minute new years eve wedding. We wanted a small yet personal ceremony and he made that happen with very little notice! Would highly recommend him so easy to work with and helpful!!
Jennifer & Jason
Steve was so perfect for our event! He asked questions, got to know us and delivered exactly what we wanted for our special day! He fit in perfectly with all of our quirky requests and made our wedding a true celebration but very thoughtful and emotional. We couldn’t have asked for anyone better!

What To Expect
Many officiants will do a simple license signing or service that is the same for everyone – and, let’s be honest, it’s usually boring or has a hidden agenda.
As your Awesome Officiant, I spend time to get to know you and your story, integrating that into the wedding ceremony to really focus on celebrating your relationship.
Steve was outstanding! From the initial contact through the ceremony itself, Steve presented himself as an active and engaged facilitator who listened to our needs and honored our requests. He did a fantastic job of weaving our story into the service. Our witnesses commented as to how it seemed that Steve knew us personally. He did a wonderful job and we have no hesitation in recommending him to someone else.
Doug & Stephanie
Steve did an amazing job with the ceremony. This was for my son and daughter in law. He made them feel very special and his words were truly heartfelt. He took time to listen to the Bride and Groom with what they wanted the ceremony to be and personalized it with them. He is a really genuine person, and I recommend him fully. He does a tremendous job!
TJ & Hailey
The ceremony was absolutely beautiful, all thanks to Steve. We received countless
compliments from our guests about what an incredible speaker he was and how
phenomenal he was throughout the ceremony. His words truly set the tone for our special
day, and we couldn’t be more grateful.

About The Process
- Initial Consultation
Zoom meeting to discuss your individual and shared lives, your vision for the future, and your desired ceremony style.
- Ceremony Planning
Discussion of ceremony specifics—inclusions, exclusions, readings, unity ceremonies (candle, sand, etc.), or other ideas I can share with you, and logistical details.
- Ceremony Outline
An initial outline of the ceremony, which will be modified as needed to get exactly what you want.
- Personal Touches
You will each be asked to share three things that you love about your partner, but doing so confidentially (without your partner knowing). These will be revealed during the ceremony, which is always an incredibly sweet part of the wedding everyone enjoys.
- Final Script
A full, personalized script will be prepared for the ceremony.
- Rehearsal Support
While not typically necessary, I can be available for a video call during the rehearsal or a separate consultation to review details.
- Ceremony
You will receive the service you want in a way that celebrates your love, engages attendees, and leaves everyone feeling like part of your remarkable story.
- Marriage License
Following the wedding (or before if easier), I will sign the marriage certificate, along with the witnesses. Sometimes couples choose to sign during the service, further helping attendees realize they are part of something momentous.
Steve did an amazing job officiating our wedding!! He was so genuine and kind. He really took the time to make our wedding ceremony memorable! Everyone that attended the wedding thought he knew us personally because of how much he seemed to know about our love story! He really took the time to make our ceremony what we had wanted and very special! He went above and beyond and we are so happy we chose him to marry us! Thank you Steve for everything you did for us!
Chelsea & Dan
Steve was AMAZING! He traveled out of state to marry us at an animal sanctuary we sponsor that means so much to us. Steve asked great questions to get to know us and wrote such a beautiful, personal ceremony for us. We cannot thank him enough and we highly recommend.

About Steve Fredlund
Over a long corporate career, I re-invented myself into a professional international speaker, even having the chance to deliver two TEDx talks. You can learn about my speaking at SteveFredlund.com.
About 20 years ago, I became a licensed officiant and immediately fell in love with being part of such an important milestone in couples relationships.
I officiate several ceremonies every year, bringing my professionalism and engaging style to serve those who often become friends.
In fact, one of the people whose wedding I officiated would later provide an endorsement for the cover of my best-selling book, “Do the Unright Thing: Memoir of a People Pleaser.
