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!
“We found Joanna through our wedding planner and what a great recommendation she was. We didn’t really have a “vision” for the ceremony and didn’t have any particular family or cultural traditions to help determine the structure or order of things. Joanna explained her process, spent some time getting to know us, and provided some resources that were all truly helpful in coming up with a ceremony that was meaningful and fitting for us. Throughout the process she was thoughtful and responsive. Multiple guests commented on how warm and genuine her delivery was. And last, but not least, she was super helpful and efficient with the marriage license.”
“Joanna is a very special celebrant and is perfect for anyone who, like us, wanted to do our wedding "our way". She's incredibly flexible, empathetic, and I'd strongly recommend her to anyone who wants a unique, fun, and personal wedding experience!”
“We couldn't have asked for a better wedding officiant! From our first meeting to the ceremony itself, Joanna was warm, thoughtful, and incredibly professional. She took the time to get to know us as a couple and crafted a ceremony that was personal, meaningful, and beautiful. Our guests were impressed, and we couldn't be more grateful for the special touch they added to our day.”

Joanna is a public speaker, writer, singer and actor. 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. This means Joanna has firsthand experience with all kinds of celebrations and is sensitive to the unique needs of each. 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!
