The reason I am Orlando’s Premier Wedding Officiant is simple. I love what I do which translates into caring and concern for the couples who have placed their faith in me to conduct a ceremony they will never forget. The couples that I work with provide me with the input necessary to create their custom ceremony. We work together using a planning kit that provides many options for them to consider. No two custom ceremonies are ever entirely the same. It is amazing how the story of each couple comes to light. Once everything is set, I become focused on one thing only – conducting the most beautiful heartfelt ceremony possible. I love conducting wedding ceremonies, and I try to bring that love with me to each and every one I perform. I am a Florida Notary and have been authorized by section 741.07, Florida Statutes to conduct all types of ceremonies including religious and non-religious styles. Finally, I serve as Vice President of Sensational Ceremonies the largest officiating company in the United States, and have personally conducted thousands of wedding ceremonies.
With over a decade of experience and thousands of weddings conducted, we know what works. We specialize in creating beautiful ceremonies that leave lasting memories. But more than that, we know the Orlando wedding market. We know the vendors and venues. Based upon the specific needs of our couples, we refer our couples to those vendors we feel would be a perfect match. You will need a Florida Marriage License. We can help with that. Married by Mail is a company that is well respected within the industry for the procurement of your Florida Marriage License. They take the time and stress out of securing a Florida Marriage License for International, In-State and Out-of-State couples. If you need them, they will be happy to assist. We are here for you!
I’d like to recommend Lon Tosi, one of Orlando’s premier Wedding Officiants as a truly first-class wedding professional along with his entire tram at Sensational Ceremonies. As I quickly learned joining the Central Florida wedding community, Lon and his team rightfully earned their status as a top referral to couples hoping to create personalized and memorable ceremonies, by wedding venues, wedding planners and other professionals alike. Lon, thank you again for your tremendous partnership with my team during my time at Mission Inn Resort. Thank you for making every wedding day so special for my couples and even my dear colleague Jessica through your attention to details and personal touch, which are truly appreciated by all. Your words are so heartfelt and eloquently spoken and have touched the hearts of countless guests that entered our gates at Mission Inn. Thank you for the comfort of knowing that if my couple chose Sensational Ceremonies, they would have a perfect experience. You are a joy to work with, an exceptional professional to recommend, and a tremendous partner. Endless gratitude.
Karen worked with Lon but at different companies. Karen Schafer currently serves as the Member Events Manager at the prestigious Lake Nona Golf and County Club, located in Lake Nona, Florida.

Where do I even begin!! Lon has been the best of the best! He is such a professional man yet so fun to plan a wedding with! Let’s not forget how funny he is at rehearsal and makes the process go so smoothly! He is just such an amazing kind hearted man and my husband and I are so happy to have had him as part of our wedding! He holds a dear place in my heart. – Jessica F.
My husband and I first saw Lon when he officiated our friend’s wedding. That day, we knew he was the person we needed by our side on wedding day. Lon was fabulous the whole way through! He listened to both of our wishes and desires (helping us with the “helpful” advise of loved ones). He helped us create a wedding ceremony that was everything that we envisioned and more. He is by far one of the nicest people of have met in a long time and when you work with him you can tell he geniunely cares. Not just about the work that he does but as us as a couple. The saddest part about a wedding is that you work with amazing people once and if all goes well, you never get to work with them again. If we had to do it over a hundred times though, we would both pick Lon ever time, hands down. If you are still looking for an officiant for your big day, I promise, you cannot go wrong with Lon. He is amazing!

Fantastic service from Lon. He helped us plan our words and everything was so relaxed, exactly what we wanted. Emails were answered quickly even though we are in England. Lon made our wedding perfect, and his lovely email after was the icing on the wedding cake!

We simply cannot say enough good things about Lon and the wonderful job he did for us. From the first contact, through working with us to personalize our vows, and especially on our wedding day, Lon was sweet and thoughtful and really attentive.

From the moment Lon called us 3 years ago after a simple enquiry from here in the UK to the moment we met in person, Lon was with us every step of the way for any questions or help we had.
On the day which was at Westgate Lake Resort and Spa at their Sunset Key Island location, Lon was amazing and tailored the ceremony perfectly with our personalities. He directed us with ease and nudged us in the right directions when we weren’t sure. He ensured the drinks and photographer was there in good time for the ceremony (even of the Sam was a little late).
Thank you so much to Lon and the team at Sensational Ceremonies for our perfect day.
-Craig and Sam
“We hired Lon Tosi from sensational Ceremonies to officiate our son and daughter in laws wedding. From the moment we met Lon we knew he was the perfect match for our kids. Once he started talking to them he gave them so many idea to help them create the perfect ceremony . He has the ability to create the most unique wedding letting them pick and chose different things to do during the ceremony. Our guest were blown away by the Warming of the Rings and the Wine Box ceremonies. He even started the ceremony with a quote from nightmare before Christmas, knowing the kids were huge Disney fans !!! He is such an incredibly kind man that you feel so much love when he speaks. You can tell he has such a passion for doing weddings and I can honestly say he really helped make this wedding the most perfect wedding day ever!!! Anyone planning a wedding I can honestly say Lon is the man to officiate if you want to have the most personal wedding, and perfect wedding !!!!”
“Lon officiated our wedding and we could not have been more impressed with his sense of humor, flexibility, and his overall presence. As our ceremony was not religious in any way, we were able to customize it to fit our quirky personalities. Our ceremony began with a quote from The Nightmare Before Christmas and readings included a poem from Sex and the City and lyrics from a Frank Sinatra song. Lon helped us add our own flair to our special day, and we couldn’t be more grateful. “
“Lon Tosi was the officiant at our daughter’s wedding in December. He performed the most beautiful ceremony that complemented the couple perfectly. There was love, joy, laughter and a few tears. He used the planning meeting to get to know us as a family, it was perfect. We are so thankful that Lon was part of this very special day.”
“Lon was absolutely wonderful. Not only does he look the part, but he is also a natural! We didn’t want to say our own vows out loud for fear of becoming sobbing messes so we asked Lon for help to make our ceremony special. He helped us write several lines to each other that were surprises to each of us during the ceremony. He even re-phrased my scattered thoughts to flow beautifully and sound way better while keeping my words. Definitely a huge help for those experiencing writer’s block or the opposite -not being able to narrow it down. It was beautiful and perfect. This was the most stress-free experience and working with Lon was truly a pleasure. He really got to know us and made this process easy for us. We even met his wife – they are the cutest couple and have been together longer than most. They took a real interest in us and gave us wonderful advice for a healthy marriage. We will truly cherish our experience working with Lon and highly recommend him to officiate your ceremony!”
