A wedding officiant is the person who is legally marrying the couple. The officiant may be affiliated with a particular religion or may be a civil figure (like a justice of the peace.) In either case, the officiant must be authorized to conduct weddings in the state in which the wedding will take place.

Do you have to be a ordained minister to marry someone?

Marriage is a legal status and a marriage license is required in the United States. A Christian minister cannot perform a marriage ceremony without a valid marriage license. There would be no valid marriage. A ceremony in which two people commit under religious or social constructs is generally known as a commitment ceremony or is given a specific name by the religious sect.
