Wedding Officiating Services

As a ULC Minister the law allows you to perform wedding officiating services. Check with your local County Clerk or Wedding Authority Office for what type of documentation you may need, such as your Minister ID Card, Certificate of Ordination, a Letter in Good Standing and in some localities or states, such as New York City, you need to purchase a special packet.

Many individuals become ordained specifically to perform a ceremony for a family member or friend, such as President Bill Clinton recently did. However many become part or full time wedding officiants as a lucrative business, and for some they incorporate such services into their Church or Religious organization services offered as a member of the Clergy.

If you are doing such for a friend or family member, or if you have income from another source, you have the luxury at your discretion of providing such services free of charge. However, most Ministers do charge or expect a minimal donation. My suggestion is since what someone would charge varies depending on where you are located, call other wedding officiating services or Ministers in your area and see what the average rates are for your area.

I would never promote Ministry work as a get rich quick scheme, but at the same token I do not want to under emphasize that there are many Ministers making an extremely lucrative income as professional wedding officiants. To become a wedding officiant it requires little training, the ULC offers everything you need to get started in such a profession. Unlike with other business start-ups, being a wedding officiant requires little investment and you can start on a shoestring budget, creating for yourself an income of $50,000, $100,000 or more per year in your very 1st or 2nd year in business.
