Officiant Frank Harlan performs Non-religious wedding ceremonies for Traditional and Same-sex couples hosting their celebrations in Seattle and surrounding communities. He is the preferred Officiant for brides and grooms who choose to put their faith in a partnership based in mutual love and devotion.

All Wedding Officiants have one thing in common; they make your marriage contract legally-binding. After that, each of them is a lot different. The unique differences between officiants are their personality, presentation style, and the content of the ceremonies they preside over.

"Couples who work with me are usually looking for a wedding ceremony
performed by someone who relates to their truths and values."

As your Officiant and ceremony director, Frank will assist you in crafting a coupling ceremony that you will be proud to share with your family and friends. No matter the size of your gathering, all ceremonies are personalized to reflect your relationship and be an intimate, and open, expression of the love and affection you have for each other.

Here's what Brides and Grooms are saying after their ceremony...

"Saturday was more magical (and emotional and funny and sweet) than anything I could ever have imagined! I seriously loved the way you incorporated the candid comments from Kelly and I into the ceremony, so perfect! All your attention to the details really brought everything together so well! You were exactly right for us!" ~Vincent and Kelly

"There are basically two kinds of couples that book me; the first kind
has a few creative ideas of their own and need some direction and
a clear plan. The others just know that they don’t want what they’ve
seen before and are looking for something a little different."

"Beyond expectations! I'm the human hyperbole, and I couldn't exaggerate how ridiculously special the day was.  I don't envy any of our friends and family who have the task of getting married after that ceremony.  Thank you for understanding what makes that day so special, and for 'getting us'.  You received rave reviews from every person in the building.  I'd go on and on, but you were there, so you know how special it was.  Thank you.  We'll never forget it, and feel like we have another amazing person in our wonderful tribe." ~Dave and Laura Duffy

"We can't thank you enough for the perfect ceremony and for making it exactly what we desired… fun, full of love, personal, our style, and so moving.

"As an Officiant, I perform only religion-free rites of passage.”

Brides and Grooms who work with Frank will tell you, “He’s not your average wedding officiant. He is equal parts advisor, script writer, chorographer, director and narrator .” His experience as an entertainer, master of ceremony and special event producer makes him one of Seattle's most creative Officiants to work with and a great resource to any couple planning their wedding day celebration.
