8 priced vendors
From the "starting at" price each vendor publishes on their own website or their Lazo profile, read 2026-11-02. A starting price is the smallest package they sell, not what a wedding ends up costing: nationally most couples pay $300-$800 once hours, add-ons and the date are in.
Portland against the rest of the country
The median published starting price for a wedding officiant in Portland is $550, about 83% above the national median of $300. That is the local market, not a markup, and it is the number to compare a quote against rather than the national one. Interfaith, bilingual, or tradition-specific ceremonies - including a lazo, arras or veil ceremony - take more preparation.
What moves the price
- Customisation
- A ceremony written from interviews with both of you is a different job from a template with your names in it.
- Rehearsal attendance
- Frequently a separate $100-$200. Worth it if your processional is at all complicated.
- Religious or cultural requirements
- Interfaith, bilingual, or tradition-specific ceremonies - including a lazo, arras or veil ceremony - take more preparation.
- Travel
- Standard beyond a local radius.
