This role sits at the intersection of performance and responsibility. The drag is visible. The authority is quiet. The ceremony is real.
Stasi is a New York–based drag artist with years of experience commanding rooms, reading energy, and holding attention — not through chaos, but through presence.
Outside of drag, Stasi is a trained, legally authorized officiant who understands ceremony as structure: pacing, language, tone, and timing.
Drag Officiant exists because these two skill sets belong together.
Drag is not the joke.
Drag is the lens.
In the right hands, drag:
disarms tension
invites joy
creates permission for authenticity
helps people stay present
What matters is not the costume — it’s the control.
Stasi approaches drag officiation with intention, ensuring the ceremony remains grounded, legible, and emotionally coherent for everyone in the room.
Stasi is:
properly ordained and legally authorized to officiate
experienced working within professional wedding timelines
comfortable collaborating with planners, venues, and vendors
prepared for family dynamics, nerves, and emotional complexity
Nothing is improvised without consent.
Nothing is sprung on guests.
Every Drag Officiant ceremony begins with a conversation about tone.
Stasi works across a clear spectrum:
Subtle — elegant, calm, lightly elevated
Celebratory — joyful, warm, lightly theatrical
Iconic — bold, expressive, unmistakably drag
Where the ceremony lands is agreed upon in advance.
Drag Officiant operates in collaboration with The Champagne Book, a ceremony practice focused on authorship, language, and record.
This ensures:
ceremonies are written with care
language is intentional, not templated
the moment is handled, not managed
Drag Officiant is not separate from seriousness — it is another way of delivering it.
Drag Officiant is not for everyone.
If you are looking for:
shock value
parody
surprise theatrics
This is not the right offering.
If you are looking for:
joy with intention
ceremony that feels alive
drag held with discipline
You are in the right place.
If this approach feels aligned, you’re welcome to inquire.
