Frank Harlan has a charismatic charm and a stage presence that is fondly familiar. Years of experience in the public eye has helped him to create a comfortable environment that relaxes brides and grooms, and allows them to share a candid and emotional experience with their family and friends in attendance.

A Non-religious, or secular, ceremony celebrates the
love between the couple without invoking any religious
content or symbolism into the ceremony.

"I take a couples reative ideas and show them how to seamlessly blend them into their ceremony. From processional to recessional, I choreograph and direct the wedding ceremony so that brides and grooms can manage your nerves and be their best you can be on one of the most significant days of their lives."

"My intention is to create an environment that relaxes brides and grooms and allows them to be the stars of
the show, while comfortably sharing a candid and heartfelt occasion with their parents, family and friends.”

Couples have many ways of showing their love and commitment to each other; their wedding day locations and celebrations are often tied to personal hobbies, quirky interests, or are simply a creative attempt to blend lifestyle with ethnic cultures.

As your Officiant... Following your initial meeting, and once Frank is confirmed as your Officiant, he will submit a rough draft of your wedding ceremony based on your requests, wishes, creative concepts and a lot of Q&A. He will provide a huge selection of Marriage Vows, Ring Vows and Readings to inspire you. After that, email communications and a few phone calls later, your wedding ceremony script is ready for your final approval.

As a professional wedding officiant Frank Harlan is equal parts
emcee, coordinator, advisor, script writer and director.

He has a very visual and innovative way of presiding over a wedding ceremony so he will direct and sequence a full rehearsal so that the bride, the groom and all of your attendants will shine, and be comfortable and confident on the big day!
