Introduction
Hello, I work with couples to create customized wedding ceremonies to fit just what they are looking for. Whether you want a short 5 minute ceremony for a small number of guests for a reasonable price or a 20 minute ceremony for a large number of guests and big venue I'll draw from my extensive experience to provide just what you want. Prices range from $150 to $325 depending on the package you select. I create non-religious or religious ceremonies. I have numerous ceremony templates and will show you samples of my work before you decide. If you want to make your ceremony unique and you're looking for new ideas, or if you've got a very specific concept in mind we'll create the perfect ceremony for the two of you. I've performed almost 100 ceremonies since 2018. I've also worked with Integral Weddings a highly rated provider of Officiant services in the Pittsburgh area on Wedding Wire. Contact me and I will provide sample ceremonies, references, or a sample video of one of my ceremonies if you like. Thanks for looking. Feel free to reach out to me by email or text. I'm looking forward to hearing from you. Bernie Galanko, Wedding Ceremonies by Bernie

Bernie officiated our wedding and gave the blessing at our reception this past weekend and he was amazing to work with! His kind and laid back demeanor made us feel instantly comfortable. Bernie was very responsive and attentive to our needs, and communicated so well throughout the whole planning process. His attention to detail was top notch. His ceremony templates were so helpful and he was also very flexible in working with us to tailor our ceremony to be something special and unique to the two of us. I would highly recommend Bernie if you are looking to choose an officiant for your special day.

We couldn’t have asked for a better officiant for our wedding. From the very beginning, Bernie was warm, professional, and genuinely invested in making our ceremony meaningful. He took the time to get to know us, our story, and what we wanted the day to feel like. What he delivered was absolutely beautiful—heartfelt, personal, and full of love. He made us laugh, brought a few tears, and created a moment we’ll never forget. We’re beyond grateful and would recommend him to anyone looking for someone who truly cares about making your day special. Thank you again for everything—you were amazing.

Details: Wedding • Non-denominational (mentions God) • 21 - 50 guests • Help writing vows will be needed • English • Officiant will not be needed at the rehearsal

We had a wedding on Sat. Dec 14 near Freeport PA. Bernie officiated and we just have to say that we are glad that he did. He sent us a package of information that allowed us to customize our ceremony, and then met with us in person a few weeks prior to the event. He was nothing but pleasant and professional throughout. We thought he did a great job and so did everyone at the wedding. We would very much recommend him.

Bernie did such a great job officiating our wedding. I could not have asked for anyone better. He was very good at communicating and was always available to meet with us to answer any questions/queries we had. We did not have a wedding rehearsal since we had a small (elopement style) wedding, however, Bernie went to the venue a day before the wedding to familiarize himself with the place. He even assisted us with the writing of our vows and had samples for us to choose from. Not to mention he showed up wearing a very nice suit. I would 10/10 recommend him. It does not get any better than Bernie!

Details: Elopement • Christian • 20 guests or fewer • Help writing vows will be needed • English • Officiant will not be needed at the rehearsal

We had Bernie as our officiant for our June 2024 wedding and he was fantastic! He has a large portfolio of material for you to use to curate the ceremony that is perfect for you and your fiancé! He was able to make the trip from Pittsburgh to my venue in Deep Creek Lake MD for both the rehearsal and the actual wedding day. He was super professional and let us run through the rehearsal several times. Several of my family and friends came up to me after the wedding and told me about how much they enjoyed chatting with Bernie during the reception. I cannot recommend Bernie enough!
