About

On WeddingWire since 2013

Your Wedding Officiant, LLC is a wedding officiant service in Western Pennsylvania but servicing the tri-state area. We specialize in providing personal and unique wedding ceremonies reflective of a couple's life, love, and desires! We are open to ALL COUPLES! We will work with you to provide the type of wedding ceremony you want and desire. Whether Secular or Spiritual, Short or Long, Inside or Outside - your desire is our guiding principle. Although you may choose any member of our staff to perform your wedding ceremony (depending on availability), during the planning process you will be working with Rev. Dennis to design the ceremony which will be a remembrance for you, your family, and friends.

Staff

Reverend Dennis M. Wargo, M.Div.

I am a formally educated, trained, and ordained married catholic priest/minister with years of experience and hundreds of weddings under my belt. I specialize in non-denominational marriage ceremonies. Although the wedding ceremonies I perform are not recognized by the Roman Catholic Church, they are recognized as legal by the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania in that I am certified by the International Council of Community Churches and a member of CITI Ministries, Inc. I use my strong background working with my clients to perfect their ceremonies. I have received formal training in Ceremony Construction, Ceremony Execution, Public Speaking, and various belief systems that coupled with my experience create a winning combination. I am a graduate of Duquesne University, Pittsburgh (B.A. – Philosophy and Theology) and Christ the King Seminary, E. Aurora, N.Y (Master of Divinity - Pastoral Theology and Counseling). I have also done Post-Graduate studies at various locations.

Exceptional Ceremony with Rev. Wargo

Rev. Dennis Wargo was the best officiant we truly could've asked for! He was incredibly thorough, responsive, caring, and professional throughout the entire planning process. He arrived early to our venue and was ready to deliver what turned out to be a flawless ceremony. He listened to all of our preferences and even added a glass-breaking element to our ceremony (something we really wanted). Overall, I couldn't recommend Rev. Wargo and his services enough. Thank you SO, so much, Rev. Wargo!!

Highlight of our planning experience

Working with Reverend Dennis and Minister Judy was one of the highlights of our planning process. Both of them handled planning our ceremony with care and truly took the time to get to know the two of us personally. They made sure that our ceremony was perfect for us and our families. For our rehearsal Minister Judy was so organized and made everyone feel at ease for the big day, she also made it fun! Working with Your Wedding Officiant was such a lovely experience and we highly suggest them if you are looking for a personalized ceremony (religious, mixed, or non!)

Stress free !

Rev. Dennis was great to work with! He was very accommodating with our wishes for our wedding. He dedicated a lot of time with us including a few Zoom meetings to talk through all of the details with us. He made sure we were well prepared and answered any questions we had very quickly! He made this part of our wedding day stress free! I would highly recommend Rev. Dennis!
