Wedding Officiant

Wedding Officiants in Lafayette, LA

We offer Ministers and Officiants for your special day. This can be either as a stand alone service or bundled with our other services. Our Wedding Ministers and Officiants will work with you to provide a personalized Ceremony. We hope you will consider us when you are looking for a Wedding Officiant. We offer small to large wedding ceremonies. Elopement ceremonies or Vow Renewals anywhere in Louisiana. We’re based in Lafayette, LA. But we do travel to Lake Charles, Baton Rouge, New Orleans, Opelousas, New Iberia and beyond.

Why Do We Offer Wedding Officiating?

You deserve a professional and personalized Wedding Officiant, because the ceremony is such an important part of your special day. It sets the tone for the rest of your wedding day celebration and we want you to get started on the right path.

We welcome all couples! Our Wedding Officiants believe that “Love is Love” and our duty is to serve all. Helping you celebrate your partnership and love for life is our #1 goal. Two people giving of themselves to one another in a lifetime commitment, is something we are honored to be a part of. From a quick and easy Elopement to a full blown Ceremony, we are willing to work with you and make it special. We have several Ordained Ministers and Officiants, both male and female to match your style and personality.

Options

We can provide you with various options while our Wedding Officiants are doing your Ceremony or Elopement. They include traditional, non-denominational, and vow renewal. We start with our basic script. From there we add or remove items based on your preferences and wishes.

Customizing Your Ceremony

We will work with you to create a unique ceremony. How much religion do you want to include or exclude? Will you have any special readings? Will you write your own vows, in addition to the ones required by law? Other options to consider might be a “Unity Candle”, “Sand Ceremony”, “Hand Fasting”, “Unity Cross”, etc.. You can learn more about ceremony planning here.

How does this work?

Louisiana Law states that you must pick up your own Marriage License and supply the necessary forms at any Clerk of Court office prior to your wedding day. We have a link to all of the Parish Clerks of Court here. On your wedding day our Wedding Officiant would arrive 30 minutes before the Ceremony to prepare the “Marriage License” that you would provide at the ceremony location. These documents are signed during or after the Ceremony to ensure the Marriage License is legal. After the ceremony, Louisiana law requires the Officiant to return it to the issuing courthouse within 10 days. Some courthouses also issue a decorative (not legal) “Wedding Certificate” along with the legal version that would also be signed by everyone, but it is not a legal document. You’ll need a certified copy from the courthouse before you can change your name, drivers license, etc..

Ceremony Rehearsals

We generally do not attend rehearsals unless you have added this to your package. The reason is because there isn’t much for a “Wedding Officiant” to do during the rehearsal. This is more of a “Wedding Coordinating” job. However, since we can also offer Coordinating services, we are certainly qualified to handle this role if desired and can be added to any package. Ask for a quote if interested.

Ceremony Music

We’ve been a DJ company over 28+ years and have provided Ceremony Music for over 350 wedding ceremonies. With our vast knowledge of current trends and past experience, we can help you by making suggestions. We can even handle all of the music parts for you with our in house DJ services. We have more details on our DJ page here.

Mike was amazing! He's easy to work with as a fellow wedding vendor, he knows his music and knows how to keep the dance floor full all night long. He and his wife are such a fantastic team together and they really make the wedding day so much more fun and energetic! If you're looking for a DJ for your wedding or next event, you absolutely need Mike to make your party the most amazing experience for you and your guests!

The place was jumpin’. Mike did our daughters wedding outside at the Pitot House in mid-city. He kept the crowd dancing all night, exactly what the bride wanted! Such a nice couple, he and his wife kept the crowd engaged, covered all age groups and were a pleasure to work with.

Thank you sooo much for helping us pull off our mom’s 60th bday experience. We were very very happy with your company’s service and the gobo product. It was definitely an enhanced touch to the environment and theme set for her party.

Mike was an integral part of our wedding. Not only was he our DJ but he was also our officiant. However, he could best be described as the jack-of-all-trades. Mike and his wife have been in the wedding business for a long time, and it shows with his extensive knowledge and attention to detail. We loved having Mike as a part of our wedding, and we couldn’t recommend him enough. Whatever you need, Mike is your guy!

My wife and I couldn't be more pleased with choosing Mike as our DJ. It was important to us to find a responsive and professional DJ that we could rely on and that's exactly what we got from our first conversation with Mike until the end of the reception. He is organized, well prepared and will ensure your requests are met. If you are stressing about finding the right DJ for your wedding, do yourself a favor and give Mike a call. Thank you again for doing such a great job!

My husband and I cannot say enough good things about Mike and DMS. We signed up for the Gold package and added officiating. So, we had a DJ, officiant, and coordinator all in one. Mike was great through the entire process starting at day one. He is so knowledgable, helpful, organized, and friendly. We had several meetings and conversations along the way to make sure that everything was in order. He was so organized that he helped us be prepared for things that we hadn't even thought of. Mike will do whatever he can to make sure you have the best wedding. We got so many compliments from our guests saying that it was one of the best weddings they had ever attended. I would absolutely recommend him to anyone in the area looking for any of the services he offers. Thank you Mike for everything!

From our very first phone call, we knew we wanted to use Digital Music Services for our wedding! Mike and Teri are so helpful in every way. They made this process enjoyable and easy! They were more than willing to answer our many questions (even the ones not related to music) and gave us great recommendations and advice throughout the wedding planning process and even after the wedding. They explained everything thoroughly and were very easy to communicate with. They were especially accommodating and helpful when we had to change and revise our plans due to Covid-19. We are extremely happy with our decision to use Digital Music Services and will recommend them to everyone! They are the best of the best!Tyler and Paige Romero

Mike is not your average DJ- he is incredible. He is so well organized, smart, and thorough that he blew us away. He went the extra mile to bring an extra speaker and microphone to our wedding to make everything more seamless. He took the time to get to know us, so he could make our night spectacular. He even surprised us by including a favorite song of ours in our soundtrack that would not usually be included in our package. Mike is not just good at his job, but he is also a great human being. We are so grateful to have found such an amazing professional for our special day!

Working with Mike leading up to the ceremony was perfect! He answered all of my questions; and even proposed ones that I hadn't thought of yet. Paul was the actual officiant for the day. He was so wonderful and kind; had the absolute most darling smile ever; and made us feel so great. I highly recommend Paul for your officiant needs. Thanks, guys!!

Booked Mike for a family members wedding. His services exceeded our expectations. Everything was conducted professionally. We had a few inappropriate situations that came up during the reception which could have had a negative outcome however with Mike's commitment to the Bride and Grooms wishes everything ended on a positive note. As any of you having gotten married or are planning a wedding, it is all about what the Bride and Groom want and making it the best day for them. Unfortunately some individuals try to take control of things that are not part of what the Bride and Groom have requested. With that being said Mike made sure he honored the Bride and Grooms request and did not bend to the pressure of the other individuals wanting to do things there way. So if you are looking for a great DJ and event book with Mike at Digital Music Services you won't regret it. A great big THANK YOU goes out to Mike for helping make my cousin's dream wedding come true.

We had a wonderful experience with Mike for my daughters wedding this past November! We hired him as the officiate for the wedding as we already have a DJ in the family so we were not in need of a DJ. Although Mike did not know the bride and groom beforehand he got to know them before the ceremony so that the ceremony would feel more personable. He stayed in contact with my daughter and myself on a weekly basis, sending us rough drafts of the ceremony until my daughter and son in law were 100% satisfied. I wanted to do roses for the moms during the ceremony and my daughter did not want to bc she didn’t want to walk down the steps on the stage and have to go back up fearing she would have trouble with her dress. We basically agreed we would not do the roses. 😕 Well...Mike gave us a call with a suggestion on how we could still do the roses with her not having to go up and down the stairs! We both loved the idea so we both were able to get what we wanted! I will definitely be recommending Mike to family and friends looking for a wonderful officiate! Thank you so much for everything Mike!

Mike and Teri are the best of the best! We booked Digital Music Service for our DJ and the photo booth at our wedding. Mike met with us and helped us planned the perfect music for our ceremony and reception. Teri managed the photo booth like a champ at the reception, and our guests loved it! They offer unlimited photo strips and provided us a book with all our guest’s pictures and well wishes. I couldn’t recommend them more. Their attention to detail is what sets them apart. I’m glad they were apart of our special day. Thank you guys for everything!

Mr. Mike was quick to respond to any questions I had. He was very organized and had many options to choose from so that we could compile our own wedding ceremony that fit our personalities. He has a lot of experience and advice to help make your day special. He did a wonderful job and everything went seamless on our wedding day. I highly recommend Mr. Mike as your officiant to help make your big day complete and worry free. ♥️

Customer service was PHENOMENAL, along with their beautiful work that transformed our wedding venue. Mike worked closely with us to get the perfect color for uplightings, flawless monograms, and addressed any questions promptly. As a florist in the wedding industry, I am very careful in choosing a trusted vendor and was extremely pleased to have this team for my wedding .
