Ceremonies that sound nothing like anyone else's. And everything like you.

MD, DC & VA Wedding Officiant

Let's make it yours!

Your love story is one of a kind. Your ceremony should be too.

Hi, I'm Devin, and I believe the most important speech of your wedding day should actually sound like you wrote it. No scripts pulled from the internet. No generic "dearly beloveds." Just real words for real love.

About the Founder

Devin Brinkley

I'm a wedding officiant who listens first and writes second. I'll ask you about the moment you knew, the text you screenshot, the inside joke only your people would get…and then I'll turn all of it into a ceremony your guests will talk about on the drive home.

AltarEgo Ceremonies exists because cookie-cutter ceremonies are a snooze-fest and make me sad.

Every couple deserves words that mean something. Let me find yours.

Every Kind of Love. Every Kind of Ceremony.

Whether you're eloping at sunset or celebrating with everyone you love…if it's heartfelt, personal, and everything you'd never get away with in a church, you're in the right place.
