About Virginia Attorney General Approved ZOOM/Phone (ALL ONLINE) Civil Ceremonies/ Elopements

The Virginia Attorney General confirmed the legalities of ZOOM/Phone/Online Weddings in 2021. Seven Days a Week, for a non-refundable consultation fee of $100, we perform all ceremonies by ZOOM or Phone depending on the connection or video conferencing provider service. Ceremonies are not performed in- person at our location or your location. Ceremonies are generally scheduled two weeks in advance because of large number of weddings because other Officiants charge $500 or more for Civil Ceremonies and Elopements. We must receive the Virginia marriage license and our fee prior to performing the ceremony. Rev. Byron Sichert the top regional wedding minister since 1983 performs the ceremonies. City of Roanoke allows mail order marriage licenses for those who don't have the ability to go to the Courthouse. We will be happy to email the memo citing the VA Attorney General confirming the legalities since VA Courts don't determine the law! Beware of other Online Officiants, Online Churches and Virginia Circuit Court Clerks and Deputy Clerks that say that our marriages are NOT legal. We have the memo from the Commonwealth of Virginia that says that they ARE legal! We perform non-religious, semi-religious, and Christian ceremonies. We have been the best Roanoke area Wedding Officiants and Wedding Ministers for Civil Ceremonies and Elopements since 1983. Ceremonies for inmates in local jails, regional jails, federal prisons, Dept of Health facilities, and immigration prisons we do not perform. WARNING! There are other Officiants who will tell you that to be able to do a ZOOM Wedding in Virginia you can't use a Virginia Marriage License but must have a Utah County Utah Electronic Marriage License and that they must perform the marriage ceremony. THAT IS A LIE! Per the Virginia Attorney General both Phone and Zoom Weddings are legal with a Virginia Marriage License and a Virginia Court Authorized Marriage Celebrant.

Wonderful Remote Wedding - An Eventective User from Roanoke, Virginia

Bob, and I are so glad that Rev. Byron was able to perform our marriage ceremony. All ceremonies are performed remotely so that guests from everywhere can witness the ceremony by phone or online. Rev. Byron charges $100 for a real marriage ceremony, which is a great relief knowing that the other area Officiants charge $500 for a I minute ceremony, with no guests. Robin and Bob

The Best in Virginia Zoom/Phone Weddings - An Eventective User from Roanoke, Virginia

We are so glad we got Rev. Byron to officiate our Wedding remotely. The other Roanoke Officiants average $500 for a1 minute ceremony and you can't have all of your guests there. Rev. Byron does a full ceremony and you can have all your guests with you, on Zoom, or phone. Don't make the mistake of getting stuck with a $500 Officiant for a 1 minute ceremony. Takia and Zach

Thankful for Online Weddings - An Eventective User from Roanoke, Virginia

God definitely has been with us during the marriage process, along with Rev. Byron. Thanks to Rev Byron we learned that Zoom/Phone/All Online Weddings are LEGAL in Virginia. He showed us the Commonwealth of Virginia memo in which the Virginia Attorney General confirmed their legalities. Rev. Byron did a wonderful job with our Ceremony, and he has been the Best Regional Wedding Minister for the last 41 years Takia and Elbert

The Right Officiant - An Eventective User from Roanoke, Virginia

Bob, and I are so glad that we got Rev. Byron to perform our ceremony and it was wonderful. We had people on the phone from different parts of the country. We appreciated Rev. Byron emailing the memo from the Commonwealth of Virginia verifying the legality of phone and zoom Weddings. The other Officiants who charge $500 and up for less than 5 minute ceremonies all said that Zoom and Phone Weddings are not legal, but the Commonwealth of Virginia says that they are. Thanks, Rev. Byron Brittany and Bob

A Complete Ceremony for an Affordable Fee - An Eventective User from Roanoke, Virginia

Thank God we found Rev. Byron who performed a beautiful ceremony for us. It was well worth the wait since he is extremely busy because he performs almost all the Civil Ceremonies in the Roanoke area because other Officiants don't do what is required and charge ridiculous fees! Two of my friends met an Officiant who simply signed the license without performing the required ceremony, and my sister and her husband had an Officiant who rushed thru a one minute ceremony and only allowed a handful of guests. Rev. Byron emailed us the memo where the Virginia Attorney General declared that Zoom and Phone Weddings have always been legal in Virginia. Thanks, Rev. Byron. Karen and Patrick

Virginia New Year Wedding - An Eventective User from Roanoke, Virginia

Thank God for the Commonwealth of Virginia memo indicating that Zoom and Phone Weddings are Legal in Virginia. Too many people get wrong information from Circuit Courts who tell you what they think is right rather than what is right. The phone wedding worked perfect for us and we had a beautiful ceremony as well.

Doing it the Virginia Way - An Eventective User from Roanoke, Virginia

Thanks to Rev. Byron and Virginia for helping us do our wedding. My partner had to leave Virginia right after we got our marriage license to care for a sick family member and we knew he would not be able to come back for our wedding which could not be rescheduled. We were lied to by other Virginia Ministers and Virginia Courts who said he and the minister had to be present for the wedding. We also were lied to by Utah Ministers who told us we had to get a Utah license and get married by a Utah minister. Thank God we spoke to Rev. Byron who sent us the memo citing the Virginia Attorney General that said that my partner and our minister could be elsewhere and we can do a Zoom, etc or Phone Wedding. Rev. Byron performed a beautiful ceremony and we are so glad we listened! Tara and Travis

Thanks Rev. Byron - An Eventective User from Roanoke, Virginia

We wanted to thank Rev. Byron for being there for us and doing our civil ceremony and Elopement .

Roanoke Phone Wedding - An Eventective User from Roanoke, Virginia

Thanks to the expertise of Rev. Byron we did a phone wedding since my partner was unable to come to the States because of a health setback and poor connection.

The Right Way To Go - An Eventective User from Roanoke, Virginia

We learned so much from Rev. Byron when he sent us the email citing the Virginia Attorney General. Knowing that Rev. Byron was able to marry us remotely made our day so much easier since we couldn't go to him and he couldn't come to us. We got married via a video call and we also included family and friends. For only $100 Rev. Byron performed a wonderful ceremony. Other officiants in our area wanted $500 for a five minute ceremony which is ridiculous! Thank You Rev. Byron. Nikki and Ricky

Great Choice - An Eventective User from Roanoke, Virginia

China Wedding thru Utah - An Eventective User from Beijing, China

My partner and I made the best decision of our lives by getting married in Utah through the Utah County Online Electronic Marriage License Process.

Sherry and I planned on a DC judge marrying us by ZOOM but when we found out there is a three month wait for a marriage license and appt , we contacted Rev. Byron who directed us to the remote license option thru Utah County Utah and since the officiant was in Utah we and our two witnesses could be anywhere , and I can't travel because of health reasons. Thanks, Derek and Sherry!

Utah was the best option - An Eventective User from Colombus. Ohio

Since my partner and I were both injured in an auto accident and unable to leave our home without undue hardship, we did the Utah County Utah online electronic marriage license. With Rev.

Thankful for a Minister - An Eventective User from Alexandria, Virginia

Thanks to Rev. Byron for his knowledge of the law. Robert and I had our wedding scheduled for months, and a week before the wedding, Robert had to fly to Maine to deal with the health issues of his mother. We started to panic, but Rev. Byron showed us the law that indicates that both parties are not required to be together during the ceremony. So we Zoomed Robert in on the Big Screen, and did a COVID style wedding! There is no way we could cancel the wedding and loose all that money! Rev. Byron was a life saver! Carla and Robert

Great Alternative - An Eventective User from Birmingham, Alabama

Customized ZOOM Ceremony - An Eventective User from Rockville, Maryland

Tobias and I were looking for the flexibility of a specially written ZOOM ceremony with a interfaith wording as well as certain family members participating in the ceremony. Rev Byron Sichert was indeed the best among ZOOM Wedding Ministers by allowing us to do everything we wanted to do, unlike the other officiants! All of the other officiants said they used their standard ceremony. We were not going to have a standard ceremony, like the courthouse, so Rev Byron make sure it was just what we wanted. Many Thanks, Kim and Tobias

Judge not available for our Day - An Eventective User from Columbus, Ohio

Fabulous ZOOM Wedding - An Eventective User from Henrico, Virginia

We had a very traumatic situation when my then fiancee, Grant became ill out of state right before our wedding date. We checked with our officiant, Rev. Byron Sichert, about Virginia marriages, and he let us know that both parties are not required to be together at the time of the ceremony so we zoomed him in for the ceremony.

No Need To Wait For A Judge - An Eventective User from Charles Town, West Virginia

It was much easter to have everyone invited to a ZOOM wedding, rather than waiting for a judge at the courthouse with our family not there. Thanks, Rev. Byron for the great ceremony! Ralphael and Tabitha

Thankful for a Minister - An Eventective User from Birmingham, Alabama

Since Alabama no longer requires marriage ceremonies and the courts don't have anyone to perform marriage ceremonies, we looked for and found Rev. Byron Sichert to perform our ceremony. After filing all that was required with the court to be legally married, we had Rev. Byron perform a ZOOM ceremony with people logged in from different parts of the country. What a wonderful ceremony! Artisha and Levander
