Social Sciences - Religion
English term or phrase: officiant
An officiant is someone who officiates (i.e. leads) at a service or ceremony, such as marriage, burial, or namegiving/baptism.

Religious Officiants are usually ordained by a religious denomination as members of the clergy. Some officiants work within congregations in some denominations and for specified ceremonies (e.g. funerals), as non-ordained members on the clergy team. Clergy / Officiants differ from Chaplains in that the clergy serve the members of their congregation, while Chaplains are usually employed by an institution such as the military, a hospital or other health care facility, etc.

Secular Officiants include Civil Celebrants, Humanist Society appointed officiants, Justices of the Peace, marriage commissioners, notaries, and other persons empowered by law to perform legal marriage ceremonies. Many secular celebrants / officiants conduct the whole range of ceremonies which mark the milestones of human life.

disagree  Inga Jokubauske: Ar vartotinas žodis „ceremonmeisteris“? Ne, „Tarptautinių žodžių žodyne“ (Vilnius, 2013) teikiama forma ceremoniméistras (vok. Zeremonienmeister), iškilmių tvarkos prižiūrėtojas. Rasa, prieš pasirenkant terminą, reiktų bent elementariai jį pasitikrinti ;)

Apeigas atliekantis dvasininkas


Explanation:
Galbūt galima versti aprašomuoju būdu?
Officiant galėtų būti apeigas atliekantis dvasininkas
Secular Officiant - galbūt [santuokos] apeigas atliekantis pasaulietis ar
[svarbius gyvenimo įvykius] (į)registruojantis pasaulietis?

Leonardo pasiūlymas pamėtėjo dar vieną mintį. Gal:
Ceremonijai vadovaujantis dvasininkas ir analogiškai
Ceremonijai vadovaujantis pasaulietis (Secular Officiant)
