Joanna Miller
A nonreligious, feminist, millennial wedding officiant for ALL couples and families in the metro Washington, D.C. area. Ready to make your big day memorable for all the right reasons!
“Joanna was our officiant for our March Wedding. From the get-go she was super communicative. She picked out a poem based on our conversation and it was perfect. We only made a couple small tweaks and then Joanna handled all the paperwork. We had a timing issue during the ceremony due to another vendor situation, but Joanna reorganized the ceremony on the spot to make the timing accommodation, and none of the guests knew stuff was out of the original planned order. If you don't want to worry about your ceremony, Joanna will take care of it!”
“We reached out to Joanna a little later in our wedding planning timeline than what I'm sure is recommended. She was so helpful and accommodating, and she was able to turn out the most special ceremony full of warmth and love. Her methods of capturing our love stories made for a beautiful ceremony where all of our guests were able to fully realize our journey together and love for one another. I would highly recommend working with Joanna!”
“We loved working with Joanna! She was so kind, professional, and accommodating. Many guests complimented how personal and great the ceremony was. Would definitely recommend!”

She started with a family wedding and hasn’t looked back; she now marries all couples regardless of age, gender or race in ceremonies within 100 miles of Washington, DC. Joanna grew up in a multi faith household and lived abroad in Australia for a few years, so she loves to incorporate your cultural and religious traditions.
Joanna is married herself, and ended up with an elopement, formal wedding ceremony and separate reception to accommodate her family’s needs. This means Joanna has firsthand experience with all kinds of celebrations and is sensitive to the unique needs of each. She is ordained through American Marriage Ministries (AMM) and the Universal Life Church, and completed the Business of Officiating course from AMM. Joanna is also a member of the International Association of Professional Wedding Officiants (IAPWO) and is authorized to perform ceremonies in D.C., Maryland, Virginia, Delaware and West Virginia.
In her non officiating hours, Joanna walks her rescue dog, Corrigan, and reads obsessively. She is an alumna of the University of Michigan (Go Blue!), was a theatre/speech/debate kid growing up and enjoys attending live theatre and music. As a former nonprofit fundraiser, Joanna supports the Montgomery County Coalition for the Homeless, Round House Theatre and Generation Hope, among other causes. She looks forward to working with you next!
