For first-time friend officiants
Asked to officiate? Walk up there ready.
The Friend Officiant Ceremony Kit gives you 10 editable ceremony scripts, a couple questionnaire that helps you write their story, a 4-week prep plan and printable cue cards. $29, instant download when it opens.
The kit isn't on sale yet. Joining is free, and we'll email you when it opens.
Saying yes was easy. The script is the hard part.
A friend just asked you to marry them. You've probably never written a ceremony, and you may never have spoken into a microphone in front of everyone they love.
Free sample scripts sound like they were written for strangers. The part everyone remembers, the couple's own story, is the one part no template writes for you.
And nobody tells you the small things: where to stand, when to ask guests to sit, what to do with the rings, and when to step out of the kiss photo.
From "yes" to "I now pronounce you" in three steps
Send the questionnaire
Send the couple a friendly questionnaire, then use the story worksheet to turn their answers into the personal heart of the ceremony.
Pick a script and make it yours
Choose a script by style and length, drop in your story section, and edit freely in Google Docs or Word.
Rehearse and deliver
Follow the 4-week prep plan, run the rehearsal from the checklist, and read from printed cue cards on the day.

Questions
When can I buy it?
The kit isn't on sale yet. Join the early-access list and we'll email you when it opens.
Will this make the marriage legal?
No kit can do that, and this one isn't legal advice. Officiant rules vary by state and county, and some places require registration or a court order for one-time officiants. The kit's signing checklist links to official state and county pages, and you should confirm the requirements with the county clerk where the wedding takes place.
Do I need to be ordained?
In many places, yes, and some places don't accept online ordination on its own. The kit points you to official sources so you can check the rules for the wedding's location. It does not ordain you.
I'm not religious. Will the scripts fit?
Yes. Every script is clearly labeled secular or lightly spiritual, and every line can be edited or deleted.
How do I edit the scripts?
Each script comes as a Google Doc you can copy into your own account, a Word file and a print-ready PDF. No special software needed.
The wedding is in two weeks. Should I wait for this?
Honestly, no. The kit isn't available yet, so please don't wait on us. If the wedding is a few months away, join the list.
Can the couple buy it for their officiant?
Yes. Join the list with your own email and we'll send you the launch details. After you buy, you can pass the download to your officiant.
What if it's not right for me?
Kit purchases on this site will come with a 14-day refund. Just email us.
