Do you mean the leader of a local church? Only Catholics refer to this person as a "priest". Other denominations use expressions such as "minister", "pastor", "elder", "rector", etc.

A priest (in any religion) is a person who represents the needs of the people to the gods. So every Christian is a priest. Every time you pray for someone else, you are being a priest to that person.

In another sense, there is only one Priest in Christianity - Jesus. He intercedes for us when we sin and secures forgiveness from God the Father.

How do you get in touch with a priest or priestess for a pagan wedding?

To get in touch with a priest* for a pagan wedding, check out your local business or telephone directory under 'pagan' or 'pagan wedding(s)', search for 'pagan wedding(s) + your area', or ask a wedding planner in your area. Even your local florist or herbalist probably has the information.*'Priest' isn't gender-specific; 'priestess' sounds nice and is fine to use, but you don't have to if you prefer not, just as pagan officials don't have to wear flowing robes if they prefer not to.
