Why Choose Wedded Your Way?
Experience makes all the difference. With over a decade in performing over a hundred weddings a year, our founding minister, Rev. Leah Light and the other professional nondenominational ministers on our team, are ready to assist you in creating the wedding of your dreams.

The wedding officiant is the most essential element of the day. Without one you would not have a legal marriage. Without a good one, you might even have a complete disaster on your hands! With one of our officiants, you can rest easy, knowing we will stand beside you and lend an air of calm confidence to what may be the most important--and hopefully, the happiest--day of your life!
 
We are happy to officiate ALL kinds of ceremonies, large or small, religious or not, simple, elaborate, creative, interfaith, multi-cultural, same sex, or whatever your two hearts desire.  Counseling is not required before you use us as your Portland Oregon wedding minister. The first meeting is at no cost or obligation.  Last-minute ceremonies are welcome and often possible.

We officiate for you at any location in the greater Portland-Vancouver metro areas.  We also offer a small Portland wedding chapel where we can both host and officiate your small wedding with up to 20 guests; for more information, please see our chapel website, www.weddedyourwaychapel.com.


Location, Location...
If you don't have a location yet, we can help you with information on very lovely places around the Portland metro area. We serve the greater Portland Metropolitan and Vancouver, Washington areas, and are happy to come to you.  A small travel fee will apply for locations outside a 15-mile radius from our office/chapel.

Last-Minute Ceremony?
No problem as long as we have room in our calendar. Last-minute ceremonies are welcome and often possible--although please bear in mind that both Oregon and Washington require a three-day waiting period after you have purchased a marriage license. Oregon is willing to waive it, while Washington is not. Feel free to call for information or contact your local County clerk.

Bi-Lingual Weddings

We are proud to offer a Spanish-speaking officiant, Rev. Guadalupe Espinor for those couples who request a bi-lingual wedding.

Same-Sex Weddings and Domestic Partnerships

Jenny & Diane celebrate their union.
As of December 9, 2012, Same-Sex Unions are legal in the State of Washington!  As Gay Friendly officiants, we are happy to serve same-sex couples in the Vancouver area. Simply check with Clark County for information on obtaining a license!

As of 2008, Oregon law allows Domestic Partnerships.  We will assist in all kinds of ceremonies:  commitment ceremonies, same-sex, vow renewals, baby namings or baby blessings, house blessings, and Memorials and Funerals.  If you have an idea of what type of celebration your heart desires, we would be pleased to help you create it.

Our Founder Shares How Wedded Your Way was Born
by Leah Light
I was inspired to begin Wedded Your Way in 2002 after attending my best friend's wedding in Las Vegas. She had wanted something completely different than her ultra religious first wedding; hence her choice of a hotel chapel in Vegas for the second time around.  My friend and her fiance specifically asked their officiant for a ceremony minus religious elements.  Alas, he apparently could not refrain from throwing in at least one scripture reading.  Unfortunately, the one he included was the very same verse quoted at my friend's first wedding.  That's all she needed on her wedding day--a reminder of her failed first marriage.

For me, an idea was born. [For the full article, click here]: More...
