That depends on where the wedding takes place. -- In classical, Judaic, Rabbinic law, no Rabbi or official of any kind is needed in order to make a marriage 'official'. Nobody 'marries' the couple. They marry themselves and each other, by mutual consent and a series of agreements and actions, that we don't need to go into just now. -- However, in most modern countries, the presence of a state-certified official is required to order to create an official marriage that is recognized by the state. In the US, these vary by State, but typically include judges, JPs, clergy, the captain of the ship outside of territorial waters, etc. At a modern-day Jewish wedding, the Rabbi is there to "officiate" as the agent of the state. From the Jewish point of view, the Rabbi is there in his typical role ... as expert in Jewish law and as teacher. He 'conducts' the ceremony, much as a 'master of ceremonies' might, observing each detail of the procedure to assure that the process of marriage is conducted as Jewish law requires, and that the validity of this marriage cannot be disputed in the future on religious grounds. Finally, as teacher, he may be called upon to speak a message for the couple, of inspiration, attachment to tradition and heritage, and the hope of the community for their success in their new relationship and their new life in the house of Israel. The Rabbi does not "pronounce" anyone "Man and Wife". He monitors the process, in order to guarantee that they become man and wife to each other, in accordance with the strict application of Jewish law.
