Minister Tye Barnett h.D.D

Uniting Hearts with Purpose, Grace & Celebration

I became an ordained minister online as a natural extension of my lifelong devotion to creating unforgettable, soul-stirring celebrations. As the founder of a wedding and event company with over 20 years of experience, I've witnessed firsthand the transformative power of ceremony—the way it moves hearts, bridges communities, and anchors life’s most sacred milestones.

Ordination allowed me to personally guide those moments with depth, grace, and authenticity. Whether standing under a chuppah or beside a sunlit lake, I offer couples a ceremony that’s deeply personal and effortlessly elegant. It’s not just about officiating—it’s about honoring love with intention, inclusivity, and unforgettable flair.

This role allows me to carry the spirit of celebration even further, elevating unity, joy, and meaning with every word spoken and vow exchanged.

What makes my ceremonies special is their heart, precision, and authenticity—an experience crafted with reverence and joy, tailored uniquely to each couple’s journey. With over 20 years as a wedding and event planner, I don’t just understand the logistical choreography behind a beautiful day—I understand the emotions, the stakes, and the sacredness of the moment.

I’ve stood beside countless couples through laughter, jitters, tears, and triumphs, which means I know how to anticipate needs before they’re spoken and how to hold space for love in all its forms. As an officiant, I bring that full-spectrum experience to every ceremony. Whether it's a grand celebration or an intimate vow exchange, I weave meaning into every word and moment, creating something that feels both timeless and deeply personal. I don’t offer a cookie-cutter script—I offer a ceremony that echoes your values, your culture, your humor, your quirks… and most of all, your love.

Couples have told me they felt seen, heard, and celebrated—not just by their guests, but by the person guiding their vows. That’s what I strive for every single time: not just to perform a ceremony, but to honor a milestone with tenderness, intention, and care.

We can travel wherever you like. I’m delighted to travel to your event location—especially within a 50-minute radius—at no additional cost.

For locations beyond 50 minutes of Marietta, GA, a flat-rate travel fee will apply and all accommodations must be covered by the client.

Additional travel-related expenses such as airfare, rental car, meals, and hotel accommodations (typically 2–3 nights) may also be required, depending on the location and timing of the event. For destination events, customized travel terms will be discussed and agreed upon based on the specific needs of your celebration.

As an added bonus, I’m also a certified travel advisor! I can assist with coordinating travel accommodations—by land or sea—for you, your guests, and myself. The goal is to streamline logistics and potentially reduce costs for all involved.

Please note: All travel expenses are the sole responsibility of the client. This includes all applicable transportation, lodging, and per diem costs as outlined above.

In addition to my ministerial services, I own a wedding and event planning company dedicated to creating unforgettable, joy-filled experiences around the world. As an ordained minister and an Honorary Doctor of Divinity, I bring both spiritual insight and heartfelt dedication to every ceremony I conduct, including weddings, vow renewals, and other meaningful celebrations tailored to each couple’s unique journey.

I travel nationally and internationally to officiate weddings and coordinate events, ensuring each occasion is beautifully realized with creativity, professionalism, and care. As a commissioned Notary Public, I’m also available to assist with a variety of legal and official documents.
