Catholic Priest Wedding Officiants
Great Officiants offers a dedicated team of validly ordained Catholic Clergy (Priests, Deacons and Ministers) who specialize in providing beautiful, tradition-rich wedding ceremonies, for couples who are not able to be married inside a Roman Catholic parish for any reason.Â
Our Catholic Clergy are welcoming, inclusive, and affirming of all couples who wish to celebrate their love in a ceremony inspired by Catholic traditions.
Our Catholic Clergy are either retired Catholic Clergy or part of independent Catholic jurisdictions, which means they are able to officiate wedding ceremonies at beaches, hotels, private venues, homes, and other locations where traditional parish priests are typically not permitted to perform weddings.
This gives Catholic couples the opportunity to have a ceremony that is authentically Catholic while still choosing the venue and style of wedding that fits their vision. After being married by one of our Catholic priests, couples are bound in marriage.
Couples who wish to have their wedding recognized in the Roman Catholic Church will need to eventually, have their marriages validated by going through the process prescribed by their local Roman Catholic Diocese when they choose to do so.

Rev Tammy (yes she is a she) is one of our Specialty Ecumenical Catholic Clergy who work with us. Pricing starts at $800
Hello, I am Rev. Tammy Fuqua, and yes, I am a woman and an Ecumenical Catholic Clergy.
I serve as an Independent Catholic Priest ordained through the Ecumenical Catholic Communion. My ministry is rooted in the ancient Catholic tradition, apostolic succession, and the sacramental life that generations of Catholics know and cherish. While I stand outside the governance of the Roman Catholic Church, I faithfully preserve the beauty, prayer, and ritual of Catholic worship, while honoring conscience, compassion, and inclusion. At the heart of my work is a simple and sacred belief, that love is holy and that committed relationships are worthy of blessing before God.

About Our Catholic Ceremonies
A Catholic Style Ceremony With Traditional Blessings
Our Catholic-style Clergy provide wedding ceremonies that include the familiar structure, prayers, blessings, and spiritual tone many couples grew up with. These ceremonies can include readings, vows, rings, and sacred elements that reflect Catholic traditions while remaining flexible, welcoming, and inclusive.
Couples who choose our Catholic Clergy receive a ceremony that honors faith, love, and commitment in a way that feels respectful, meaningful, and personal.
Ideal for Couples Not Getting Married in a Parish Church
Many couples who appreciate Catholic traditions choose to celebrate their wedding at outdoor venues, destination locations, beaches, private homes, or event spaces that are not part of a local parish. Our independent Catholic Clergy make it possible to still have a Catholic-style wedding ceremony in those settings.
This allows couples to celebrate their marriage in a location that reflects their vision while still incorporating meaningful spiritual traditions.
Perfect for Interfaith and Blended Couples
Our Catholic-style Officiants are also a wonderful choice when one partner is Catholic and the other is not, or when couples come from different spiritual backgrounds.
Rather than placing restrictions on couples, our Clergy provide a caring, respectful, and welcoming way to celebrate marriage while honoring Catholic-inspired traditions and values.
A Compassionate and Faith Centered Experience
Our goal is to provide couples with a ceremony experience that is spiritual, welcoming, and deeply meaningful. Whether you are practicing your faith, reconnecting with your spiritual roots, or simply want a ceremony inspired by Catholic tradition, our Clergy are here to support your celebration with dignity and care.
If you are looking for a Catholic-style wedding ceremony that allows you to marry where and how you choose, our team of Officiants would be honored to be part of your special day.
*Please note: The Catholic clergy listed on this page are validly ordained Priests, Deacons and Ministers according to Roman Catholic cannon law and sacramental theology. However, the freedom they have to celebrate marriages and other sacraments comes from the Roman Cannon Law principle of supplied jurisdiction and faculties and dispensations given by their Catholic bishops who are NOT affiliated with, authorized by, or acting under the authority of the Roman Catholic Church, or any Roman Catholic Diocese.
