Altared Vows by Taya

Altared Vows by Taya is the officiant service of Reverend Taya, based in Wilmington, Delaware. She marries couples across Delaware and the neighboring states, with ceremonies that range from quick, simple elopements to fully personalized services written around your story.

Why she suits LGBTQ+ couples

Taya offers non-religious, interfaith and religious ceremonies, as well as commitment ceremonies and vow renewals, so you can choose the tone that fits you. Her custom ceremonies are built around the two of you rather than a fixed script, and she takes time to learn what matters to you.

What she offers

• Custom and semi-custom ceremonies
• Elopements and small ceremonies
• Commitment ceremonies and vow renewals
• Rehearsals
• Rituals such as handfasting, unity candles and rose ceremonies
• Guidance on marriage license paperwork

How she works

You can choose a ready-made ceremony or work with Taya on a personalized one. For a custom service, she gets to know you and shapes the words, readings and rituals around your relationship. She can also lead a rehearsal so everyone knows their place on the day, and she helps you through the license paperwork afterward. Couples have also found her helpful when looking for venues and other vendors.

Where she covers

Taya is based in Wilmington and officiates across Delaware, New Jersey, Maryland and Pennsylvania, including the Delaware and Maryland beaches.
