Most of our ceremonies comfortably fit within the 30-minute timeframe typically allocated for modern weddings.

You will be promptly informed of the situation and assured of a high-quality service. If you prefer to find a different officiant, we will provide a full refund.
Will Married by AE Officiate Any Wedding?
As a Christian minister, I believe that marriage is a sacred institution designed by God. Married by AE firmly holds on to the biblical principles of marriage.
We are always available to work with couples to determine the level of religious content they wish to include – or exclude – from their ceremony.
