Wedding and marriage officiant definition.

What is a wedding or marriage officiant in California?

Since the birth of the Web, Brides and Grooms have begun to use the Web as their primary way of doing the preliminary planning for selecting wedding vendors.

The term marriage officiant has been around for some time, but has become the primary term in Web Directories for listing people authorized to perform weddings.

This term reflects the broader background of individual officiating at weddings. In the minds of the owners of Website Directories, the terms clergy and minister denote people with more of a religious perspective in their approach to the wedding ceremony structure and the vows.

Marriage officiant as a defining phrase has a more secular sound to it and can describe those who are religious, secular, or who have a spiritual approach as a California marriage officiant.

Other terms include Wedding Minister, Wedding Ceremony Officiant, Wedding Celebrant, and Wedding Clergy
