Antiqua Mitchell
Ordained Minister in Covington, Georgia
Why did you originally become an ordained minister online?
My ministry is rooted in love, unity, and creating meaningful moments for couples and families. Beyond officiating, I’m also passionate about creating romantic and memorable experiences — from intimate backyard elopements to full celebrations under the stars with bubble tents and outdoor theaters. My heart for service comes not only from my family values but also from my commitment to helping others celebrate life’s milestones with joy and authenticity. I chose to become ordained online because it gave me the flexibility to quickly answer a calling I already felt in my spirit — to serve couples in love, no matter the setting. The online path made it possible for me to step into ministry without delay, while also allowing me to expand my reach beyond traditional church walls. For me, ministry is not limited to one space — it’s about meeting people where they are, whether that’s in their backyard, a park, or under a starlit sky.
Where are you from?
I am from Covington Ga and my roots in this community inspire me to bring people together in ways that are personal and heartfelt. Being from a place where family, connection, and togetherness are valued has shaped the way I approach my work as a minister and small-business owner.
What do you hope to achieve with your online ordination?
Through my online ordination, I hope to provide couples with a safe, inclusive, and welcoming space to honor their love in the way that feels most authentic to them. My goal is to create ceremonies that are not only legally binding but also deeply memorable and spiritually uplifting. Ultimately, I want to be remembered as someone who helped couples begin their journey with intentionality, joy, and the kind of love that lasts a lifetime.

What do you think makes your ceremonies special as a Covington, GA wedding officiant?
What makes my ceremonies special is the way I weave personalization, warmth, and intentionality into every moment. I don’t approach weddings with a “one-size-fits-all” mindset — instead, I take time to get to know each couple, their love story, and what matters most to them. Whether it’s an intimate elopement in the backyard, a bubble tent under the stars, or a grand celebration, my goal is always to create a ceremony that feels authentic, meaningful, and unforgettable. Couples often tell me that my calm presence, uplifting words, and ability to make everyone feel included help set the tone for their big day.
Are there particular areas near you where you prefer to travel or have special experience?
Yes, I primarily serve couples and families in Covington, Newton County, and the surrounding Metro Atlanta area, but I also travel throughout Dekalb, Rockdale, Henry, and Gwinnett counties. These areas are special to me because they offer such a variety of backdrops — from charming small-town squares to peaceful parks, lakeside views, and cozy backyards that make for beautiful, intimate ceremonies.
I have the most experience with outdoor celebrations and non-traditional venues, which allows me to help couples transform almost any space into a romantic setting. Whether it’s a private home, a public garden, or a bubble tent setup under the stars, I love bringing creativity and flexibility to each location. My goal is to make the ceremony feel magical no matter the place — ensuring couples can focus on the love they’re celebrating while I handle the details that make it come together seamlessly.

I offer packages that include romantic setups, bubble-tent celebrations, and even outdoor movie nights, giving couples and families unique ways to celebrate milestones together.

My hope is to continue building a ministry that not only unites couples in marriage but also strengthens families and creates joyful memories that last a lifetime
