Officiants
Ethical Society officiants are legally authorized to officiate at weddings. They help couples design a ceremony that offers a creative, public expression of their personal sense of love and commitment through readings, rituals and vows. Guest clergy may also officiate. Weddings may take place at the Ethical Society or off-site at a location of the couple's choosing.
There are a variety of persons who perform weddings for the Ethical Society of St. Louis. One of these officiants, our clergy Leader, Kate Lovelady, is happy to perform ceremonies but has chosen to cease signing marriage licenses until Missouri extends the civil right of marriage to same-sex couples. Our other officiants will both perform ceremonies and sign marriage licenses.
