Our Wedding Ceremonies

Three ways to create a ceremony that feels right for you.

Your ceremony is not a placeholder between the processional and the party.

It is the moment that defines your day.

What you and your guests experience is the result of thoughtful preparation, collaborative planning, and professional delivery — carefully built long before you walk down the aisle.

Through a guided planning process, we craft a ceremony that feels grounded, authentic, and unmistakably yours. Whether your day calls for joyful laughter, heartfelt emotion, or a blend of both, every word is chosen with purpose.

Each ceremony is professionally written by a best-selling author in the wedding industry and delivered by an experienced officiant from our team — ensuring a smooth, confident, and meaningful experience for you and your guests.

A meaningful ceremony doesn’t happen in 15 minutes.
It’s built in the weeks before.

More Than the Minutes at the Altar

Your ceremony may last 15–25 minutes.
Creating it — and making sure those minutes feel effortless — begins long before your wedding day.

Our work includes preparation, ceremony planning, communication, professional delivery, early arrival and coordination on the wedding day, and the experience to confidently handle the unexpected.

And when you choose Elevate, you’re not simply hiring one person to show up and read a script.
You’re working with an established team with professional systems and backup support behind your ceremony.

The ceremony may only last a few minutes. The experience behind it is what makes those minutes matter.

Additional Services: We’re always happy to help when we can. Requests outside the scope of your selected ceremony package that require additional research, coordination, errands, shipping, or administrative time may incur an additional fee. We’ll always discuss any cost with you before proceeding.

About our Travel Fees

Colorado is a big state and the metro-Denver area is spread out. Venues that appear close together on a map can require significantly different amounts of travel time with weather, time of day, traffic, road construction, and mountain conditions having a significant impact.

Because Elevate’s officiants are located throughout Colorado, we use a territory-based system designed to provide transparent pricing for our couples while recognizing the time and travel required to serve different locations.

Whenever possible, we will match couples with an officiant who is already familiar with their area and can minimize travel costs. This system allows us to serve destinations across Colorado while remaining fair to both our couples and our officiants.

You may, however, select any available officiant. 

Rates above do not include the Rehearsal Fees

In most weddings, the rehearsal is guided by the wedding planner, day-of coordinator, or venue team.  The presence of your professional Elevate officiant is typically not necessary, but can be added to your package upon request.

Any final ceremony details can easily be reviewed with your Elevate officiant before the ceremony begins.

Marriage License Return Service: $40

We’ll securely return your completed marriage license to the appropriate county clerk via certified mail and provide you with a copy and tracking information for your records.

What’s Included with Every Ceremony

Even in our simplest packages, you’ll receive the Elevate experience — thoughtful support, a professional officiant, and peace of mind.

✅ Three Things You Love About Each Other… and why
Your words, thoughtfully shared as part of the ceremony—bringing to life what you love most about one another.

✅ First-Class Support & Regular Check-Ins
Unlimited email and text access with our team — ask us anything, anytime. We’re here for you every step of the way.  We reach out at least every 30 days leading up to your ceremony with reminders, inspiration, or next steps — so nothing falls through the cracks.

✅ Professional Officiant
All of our officiants are legally ordained ministers and experienced public speakers — from clergy and actors to DJs and public speaking coaches — and are trained to deliver meaningful, memorable ceremonies.

✍️ Scriptwriting Expertise 
Rest assured: your ceremony is crafted by a bestselling author in the wedding industry who knows how to tell love stories that move hearts.

Jo Burns was our wedding officiant, and she did an absolutely amazing job. Everything was seamless leading up to the wedding, and the ceremony itself was so beautiful and personalized. We had multiple guests ask how we knew her, and they were shocked to learn that she was a hired officiant and not someone who had known us for years. We're so grateful to her!

We knew from the first meeting we had with Denise, that we had made the right choice to contact Elevate! My husband and I were struggling with finding an Officiant we were comfortable with for a long time during planning. Someone who could make us feel heard, someone who would advocate for our best interests, and someone that could tell our story to our friends and loved ones- but somehow make it sound like they were actually there with us from the beginning through it all... All of that, and more we found in our AMAZING Officiant, Denise!! Through the whole process she eased our hearts and minds so much, and when our big day finally came, we were so comfortable and confident standing up there because of Denise!! All of our guests were tearing up, giggling (when appropriate), and really felt our love throught the ceremony- all thanks to Denise!! My Husband and I feel so blessed to have had the Great Honor of becoming one with each other, led by Denise! She will forever live in our hearts, and in the hearts of all our guests! If you truly want a ceremony that feels personal, intimate, and an Officiant who will put in all that effort for you to construct it that way and make sure you're comfortable along the way- Denise would be your saving grace too! Thank you again, Denise!! We truly appreciate you!!

Heather was an amazing officiant, and Denise wrote a beautiful ceremony that was perfect for us. Heather delivered every word with warmth, sincerity, and professionalism, making our ceremony feel personal, heartfelt, and unforgettable. Denise captured our love story so beautifully, and Heather brought it to life in a way that truly touched us and our guests. We received so many compliments on our ceremony, and we couldn't have asked for a better experience. Thank you both for helping make our wedding day so meaningful and memorable. We highly recommend Elevate Wedding Officiant to any couple looking for a truly special ceremony! ❤️

Michael Waldron was an amazing officiant. Our wedding felt so personal and tailored to what we wanted. Our guests asked us if Michael has been a family friend for years, because our ceremony felt so personal, connected and meaningful. The process of setting up the ceremony was so easy and stress-free. Denise and Michael took care of all the details. Our day was PERFECT! Elevate Wedding Officiants is 100% worth it.

Denise is an absolutely incredible officiant and an even more incredible person. I’ve had the pleasure of working alongside her behind the scenes, capturing elopements she was officiating, and she’s also been such a supportive mentor in my own officiating journey. Seeing the care, professionalism, and heart she puts into every ceremony made choosing her to marry us an easy decision. Denise is thoughtful, organized, calm under pressure, and truly intentional with every word she speaks. She takes the time to create a ceremony that feels personal, meaningful, and authentic to each couple. On our wedding day, she brought such a warm, comforting presence that instantly put us at ease, and she delivered our ceremony beautifully. It was everything we had hoped for and more. If you’re looking for an officiant who is not only incredibly talented but also kind, genuine, and deeply invested in making your wedding day special, Denise is the one. We couldn’t have imagined anyone better to marry us, and we’re so grateful she was such an important part of our day.

Our experience with Denise and Pastor Robert was amazing! The process was simple, and they made it as stress free as possible from start to finish. Pastor Robert was great to work with, and delivered a wonderful ceremony. 10/10, we would highly recommend Elevate Wedding Officiants!
