I get a lot of requests from people who are looking for a Pagan or Wiccan clergyperson to perform their handfasting or wedding. As a result, I've put together this list by state. These listings are free, and if you're interested in being included, please shoot me an email including the following information: name, email address, state you are licensed to perform ceremonies in, types of ceremonies you are available for, and a short bio of 100 words or less. Include your website url if you have one. I'll get you added in as soon as possible.
Be sure to read the disclaimer before you go any further!
DISCLAIMER: This listing is a free service provided to readers of Pagan/Wiccan About.com. This website makes no guarantees as to the legitimacy of anyone contained in this listing -- in other words, do your homework and check peoples' references before you hire them to officiate at your ceremony! Check with your individual state to see what requirements are in place as to who can perform a ceremony. In some states, such as Ohio, a minister must be licensed by the Secretary of State before they can perform legally recognized services. Don't be afraid to ask a clergy person for references, or for a copy of their licensing or ordination paperwork.
