Lovebird.org is a modern, nonprofit religious corporation dedicated to supporting new officiants, starting with ordaining ministers for free. Their ordained ministers are legally empowered to officiate weddings across most of the United States, and they provide the training, tools and resources needed to make every ceremony reflect the unique values and identities of those involved.
A separate entity from Lovebird, Lovebird.org has its own governance and mission oriented toward its church and charitable activities. We are proud to partner with Lovebird.org to support their mission and design resources and tools to ensure the success of officiants across the United States.

Lovebird.org and Lovebird are distinct legal entities with separate governance, but they share complementary missions. Lovebird.org is a nonprofit religious organization focused on providing legal ordination and supportive services for friends and family members to officiate ceremonies, without generating profit for its own benefit. Its mission is purely focused on empowering individuals to lead meaningful ceremonies for all of life’s moments with authenticity and legal recognition. Lovebird, on the other hand, is a for-profit corporation that offers a range of tools and resources to enhance the planning and personalization of these ceremonies. Together, they work in harmony to support and elevate life’s most significant moments, each serving unique but aligned purposes in a separate but mutually supportive way. While Lovebird facilitates various digital services on behalf of Lovebird.org and its members, no purchase to Lovebird is required to get ordained.
