The officiant who makes your ceremony feel like you.

Hello and congratulations! My name is Anthony Argula, an ordained, non-denominational wedding officiant based in the Northwest New Jersey region. I work with couples of all backgrounds, beliefs, and traditions to craft ceremonies that feel completely, unmistakably theirs.

Whether you're envisioning something intimate and heartfelt, joyful and light, or a meaningful blend of both — I'll help you shape every word so that when the moment arrives, all you have to do is show up and feel it.

I've had the privilege of officiating ceremonies at some of New Jersey's most beautiful venues, and I bring the same level of care and preparation to every single one.

Warm. Personal. Completely yours.

My style is grounded in two things: warmth and ease. I believe a ceremony should feel like a genuine conversation not a performance. The words should sound like something a real person would say out loud, because they are.

I work with couples of all backgrounds, beliefs, and traditions. Non-religious, interfaith, blended families, same-sex couples, every love story is welcome here, and none are treated as exceptions. What matters to you, matters to me.

Every ceremony I write starts with a conversation. I want to understand how you two actually talk to each other, what made you fall in love, what you want people to feel when they watch you exchange vows. That's what becomes your ceremony and why no two I've written have ever sounded the same.

Legally ordained. Fully prepared.

I'm an ordained, non-denominational minister, fully authorized to perform legally binding marriage ceremonies throughout the State of New Jersey. Cherished Vows Officiant Services LLC is a registered New Jersey business so when you book with me, you're working with a professional who takes this as seriously as you do.

Let's talk about your ceremony.

If what you've read here feels right, I'd love to hear from you. Tell me about your date, your venue, and what you're envisioning even if it's still just a feeling you can't quite put into words yet. That's exactly where we start.

No pressure. No commitment. Just a conversation.


“Tony was an absolute pleasure to work with as our wedding officiant. From our very first conversation, he took the time to understand us as a couple and crafted a ceremony that felt truly personal and meaningful. His delivery was warm, engaging, and perfectly balanced.

He made us feel completely at ease throughout the entire process, and on the big day, everything flowed seamlessly. So many of our guests commented on how beautiful and authentic the ceremony was.

We couldn’t have asked for a better officiant. Tony played such an important role in making our wedding day unforgettable. Highly recommend!”
