Minnesota Officiants was founded in 2004 by Jim Albani, a non-denominational minister. Jim felt there was a need for more variety in both traditional and non-traditional weddings. He believed the brides and grooms he worked with were yearning for weddings that were personal; yet meaningful. His goal was to provide his couples with the opportunity to share their love with their families and friends.
Our Wedding Officiants will work with you to create a wedding ceremony that reflects the love you share with each other. Our tag line is "Creating Forever Memories" and we are so humbled to be a part of your celebration of love and the joy found therein. Please read our wedding officiant reviews to get a feel for the dedication and service we provide our couples.
We have officiated weddings in places of worship, in parks, on rivers and lakes, at golf clubs and country clubs, in private homes, at hotels and motels, in barns, and any place people gather to celebrate the love in their lives. Jim has authored "Your Complete Wedding Ceremony" e-book.

Minnesota Officiants was founded to honor the desires couples have in personal and meaningful wedding ceremonies.
Over the years we have had a number of our couples contact us requesting a ceremony or ritual that celebrates the birth or adoption of new family members.
The common theme is they are seeking a ceremony welcoming the 'newcomer' into the family unit.
They also want to establish the role their extended family has in creating a foundation for the child's future.
The extended family includes, but is not limited to siblings, grandparents, aunts, uncles, cousins, godparents and friends.

Jim Albani was our officiant and we could not be happier with our choice!
He was organized, professional, kind, and so patient.
He made it really easy for us to pick out everything that we wanted to include in our ceremony and did everything just perfectly.
He definitely went above and beyond to make sure that my husband and I had a beautiful, and personalized ceremony.
We are so happy we found him and would strongly recommend using Jim as an officiant to anyone getting married!
We really knew nothing about planning a wedding ceremony, Cris walked us through the many options he has seen and gave us the space to make it our own.
