The Officiant
Fifteen years. Five hundred weddings. And I still tear up every single time.
I’m Vicki Wiepking, and I believe your ceremony is the heart of your wedding day—not an afterthought, not a formality, but the moment that changes everything.
As a Universal Life Church minister based in Bozeman, Montana, I create personalized ceremonies for all belief systems, from traditional Christian services to completely non-religious celebrations. Whether you’re exchanging vows on a mountaintop, beside a waterfall in Yellowstone, or in your own backyard, I’ll travel to you and help you craft something that feels unmistakably yours.
Here’s what you can expect: responsive communication, an intuitive online ceremony portal where you’ll build your vows and customize the script, professional guidance every step of the way, and a calm, confident presence on your wedding day.
I’ve ventured into Yellowstone’s backcountry on horseback, skied down mountains in fresh snow, and driven through winter storms—because your day matters. Not just to you. To me.
The Process
Three simple steps to create a ceremony that feels unmistakably yours.
1 – Review Wedding Packages
Take a look at my wedding package options by clicking the link below. You’re welcome to book a free consultation—phone, video, or coffee in person to see which is right for you. We’ll discuss your vision, your vibe, the location you’re dreaming about. I’ll answer your questions, you’ll get a feel for whether we click.
2 – Make A Commitment
Select the package that fits your needs and fill out the form at the bottom of that page. Then, I’ll send a link to submit the deposit so you can lock in your date and get access to the wedding ceremony portal. After that, you can breathe easy knowing this part is handled.
3 – Build Your Ceremony
After you look at the options in the portal, fill out the “Build Your Ceremony” questionnaire and I’ll send back a draft. We will work on it together to make sure it fits your needs completely. I’ll go over everything on our rehearsal call step by step – the processional, the rings, the kiss – so it turns out exactly as you want.
4 – Say I Do
The wedding ceremony portal has all the info to get your marriage license, write your vows, and even tips to wrangle your family on the big day. When it’s time to walk down the aisle, I will guide you every step of the way and the two of you just stare at each other and take in the moment.
What Couples Say
Every five-star review humbles me. Every story reminds me why I do this work.
People sometimes ask me, “Vicki, after five hundred weddings, does it still get to you?”
Every. Single. Time.
There’s a moment in every ceremony—and if you’ve been to a really good wedding, you know exactly what I’m talking about—where the whole world goes quiet. It’s usually right when the vows begin. Everyone leans in a little. The couple’s hands are shaking. And then one of them starts to speak, and you can hear the love in every word.
I have the incredible privilege of standing three feet away from that moment. I get to watch two people make the most important promise of their lives to each other. And no matter how many times I’ve witnessed it, it humbles me every time.
“Vicki was absolutely amazing to work with! From our initial consultation, I knew she was the perfect fit. She helped us create a ceremony that summarized our love perfectly. She brought a joyous energy to our perfect snowy wedding day!”

“We so enjoyed having Vicki officiate. We’ve said to each other over and over, it was one of the best decisions we made to make the day run smoothly. She has such a calm and confident presence that really helped us feel prepared and steady our nerves.”

“Vicki was a top notch officiant — all we could ask for and more. She made the process super simple and gave us full access to customize our ceremony to be true to us. The energy she brought to our wedding day was great, she really made our day feel special.”

Spiritual musings. Wedding stories. Relationship wisdom with a modern soul.
I have always said that Nature is my Church and I have been lucky enough to call upon the sacred spaces of Big Sky Country to be the place where I work and play for the last 25 years. Sometimes at the same time! I never know where the next wedding spot will be, as each vista in Montana evokes a sense of eternal wonder and peace that you can’t help but want to scream “I Do!” everywhere you go.

Sacred Relationships Online Course
Love brought you together. But it takes more than love to build a marriage that lasts.
Marriage is one of the most exciting things you can do in life and also one of the most serious. Now you actually have to get your act together and become the person your spouse thinks you are. Yes, I’m sure you’re both madly in love, but it takes a bit more than that to establish a solid relationship. Getting married means something a little different to everyone, and we all have our own rules and expectations that we’ll live by – hopefully happily ever after. But we all need to do a little homework before we can truly feel ready to offer the best of ourselves to another person.
