Getting married at reception site? Who is your officiant?

I am hoping to still have a 'formal' feel to our ceremony, but we are not religous. I would like to have readings of poetry, maybe a quartet, and hopefully my officiant could help give the ceremony structure and help to still make it special (for a LOW fee!)... any recommendations?

Yet another vote for April. She is wonderful, and very well regarded within our religious community. I really feel that you cannot go wrong with her.

You have to talk to Rev. April! She is truly amazing. DH & I are also not religious & our ceremony was incredibly beautiful & our guests still talk about it to this day. Not only does she customize your ceremony any way you want, she is truly amazing at reading people. She not only put words to everything we wanted in our ceremony, but she truly capture our essence as a couple. Feel free to FM me w/ any questions.
