Crafted to reflect your story, your values, and your vision.
Your ceremony should feel like more than a formality—it should feel like you.
As a DMV wedding officiant, I create personalized ceremonies that reflect each couple’s unique story. Whether you're planning an intimate elopement or a larger celebration, your ceremony will be crafted with intention, care, and a sense of ease.

If you are here you might be wondering about…
A ceremony that reflects you
Many of my couples are non-religious and want something meaningful without any reference to faith. Your ceremony can be completely personalized—whether that means fully secular, lightly spiritual, or something in between.
Honoring what matters
You’re welcome to incorporate cultural or family traditions in whatever way feels right to you. If it’s meaningful to you, we’ll thoughtfully include it.

Meet Joanna
Hi, I'm Joanna Miller — wedding officiant, ceremony crafter, and the person your planner will be asking about after the reception.
I started officiating in 2022 when my cousin needed someone who could weave her Jewish heritage and her partner's Catholic tradition into something that felt true to both of them. I didn't follow a script — I wrote one. And when her planner asked to book me on the spot, I knew this was more than a one-time thing.
I specialize in ceremonies that are deeply personal, thoughtfully interfaith, and completely yours. Serving couples across Maryland, DC, and Virginia.
Let’s create a Ceremony that Feels like you!
