Colorado Wedding Officiants
Small Wedding & Elopement Packages
Colorado Microweddings works with a highly selective team of Colorado-based wedding officiants who specialize in intimate and contemporary weddings. These wedding professionals pride themselves on communication, personalization, and flexibility. They routinely rank as the best officiants in Colorado, and all maintain a 5-star rating on Google, WeddingWire, and/or The Knot. They perform both religious and secular ceremonies, are willing to work with any style or traditions, and are happy to provide assistance with vow writing.
Whatever you have in mind, they will make it happen—this is your wedding, and they are here for you!
From adventure weddings to elopements to beautiful mountaintop ceremonies, this is the only group of officiants in Colorado that specialize in “micro-weddings.” Boasting a combined experience of well over a thousand weddings, our microwedding officiants have the skills and experience to help you create the ceremony of your dreams and ensure that everything goes smooth on your big day.
And, as ordained ministers, all of our officiants have the legal authority to solemnize marriages in the state of Colorado. They’re all well-versed in the legal process required to obtain and file a marriage license, and will ensure that you have all necessary information to make your union official.
“Can my friend officiate?”
Yes! In the state of Colorado it’s perfectly legal (and quite common) to have a friend officiate the wedding. With my planning services I provide a complimentary guide and sample script to help your friend/family member get acquainted with the process.
“Can we officiate ourselves?”
Yes! In Colorado no officiant is legally required, so if you want to do your vows and “I Do’s” on your own that is perfectly fine—and legal! I also provide a guide on how couples can go about this process. Generally, I only reccomend this route for groups with no guests, if you are having guests, generally more comfortable to have one of them lead the ceremony.
“I Just Want The Cheapest Wedding Officiant”
If you’re searching for the “cheapest” option, I recommend going to Craigslist and looking for someone who is just starting out. If you’re looking for the best value, budget-friendly, professional officiant who’s going to go above and beyond to make your day awesome (while still charging less then the competition)…
Then you’re in the right place!
If you hire me on as your planner, I’ll match you up with an officiant based on availability and style. If you don’t think they seem like a good fit, I’ll find you someone else :)
