One of the hardest choices to make about your wedding day is selecting a celebrant. They are all pretty much the same, right? Well, no.
All of the celebrants on Easy Weddings are top quality and will deliver exceptional services, but there are some that offer just that little something different, whether it be their service or personality that sets them apart.

These are the officiants and storytellers and kings and queens of romance. If your wedding is a touch out of the box, and you want a unique celebrant to join in the whimsy and personality of the day, this list is for you.
