Joanna Miller
A nonreligious, feminist, millennial wedding officiant for ALL couples and families in the metro Washington, D.C. area. Ready to make your big day memorable for all the right reasons!
“Joanna was an absolutely perfect officiant. For any couple looking for a ceremony that feels truly personal and meaningful, we can't recommend her highly enough. She delivered such a beautiful ceremony, that was so true to our story as a couple. It was perfectly balanced with humor and sincerity. We had several guests telling us how much they loved the ceremony, and a few who were surprised to learn she was a hired officiant and not a long term friend.”
“We couldn’t have asked for anyone better to officiate our wedding. Would 100% recommend!”
“We are so grateful to have had Joanna as our wedding officiant! From the very beginning, she was an absolute joy to work with. She started by taking the time to get to know us through an in-depth interview about our relationship, which allowed her to craft a personalized ceremony. The editing process was quick and collaborative, and together we shaped a ceremony that reflected exactly the tone and story we wanted to share. Joanna brought the perfect mix of humor, warmth, and sincerity to our ceremony. So many of our guests thought we had known her for years, because she told our story with so much heart. Her presence made the ceremony truly unforgettable.”

She started with a family wedding and hasn’t looked back; she now marries all couples regardless of age, gender or race in ceremonies within 100 miles of Washington, DC. Joanna grew up in a multi faith household and lived abroad in Australia for a few years, so she loves to incorporate your cultural and religious traditions.
Joanna is married herself, and ended up with an elopement, formal wedding ceremony and separate reception to accommodate her family’s needs.

She is ordained through American Marriage Ministries (AMM) and the Universal Life Church, and completed the Business of Officiating course from AMM. Joanna is also a member of the International Association of Professional Wedding Officiants (IAPWO) and is authorized to perform ceremonies in D.C., Maryland, Virginia, Delaware and West Virginia.
In her non officiating hours, Joanna walks her rescue dog, Corrigan, and reads obsessively. She is an alumna of the University of Michigan (Go Blue!), was a theatre/speech/debate kid growing up and enjoys attending live theatre and music. As a former nonprofit fundraiser, Joanna supports the Montgomery County Coalition for the Homeless, Round House Theatre and Generation Hope, among other causes. She looks forward to working with you next!
