mine wore stone colored khaki pants and a white shirt... and a nut lei - we got married in Hawaii. He asked us what our colors were and said he would just wear something nuetral. I think most non-religious officiants would do the same.
Our officiant was pretty snazzy in a suit and some fancy shoes..

Mine will wear a basic black suit and a gray dressier mock turtleneck - it may sound weird, but when you see it - it works.
If it's a traditional, formal ceremony setting - definitely a suit.
Last year at my friends wedding they had a friend marry them. He wore the same tux as the guys but wore a white tie instead of black. It looked pretty sharp.
I'd say that your oficiant's attire should probably be in line with what the groomsmen are wearing or more formal.
If he's a member of the U.S. Congress he no doubt already owns plenty of suits and probably a tux, so I wouldn't worry about it.
i agree with the bees...suit is nice. ours wore this:
black suit and tie that matched our wedding colors =)

How about a female nonreligious officiant?
I'm thinking cute professional gray dress?
I'm a (female) pro non-religious wedding officiant.. I ask my couples what they want me to wear, and most choose a black or grey suit (depending on their colors, I like to add a splash of color with my jewelry and blouse under my suit), or a black dress.
For the original poster, I'd say a nice suit is probably appropriate.. if you are going to be specific with a tuxedo, it would be a nice gesture to offer to pay for it.
Thanks so much everyone! I think we're just going to go with a nice suit (and he already has plenty, so it shouldn't be a problem).
You might just ask the officiant. The officiant will be most definitely honor to wear whatever you would ask them to, well almost everything.

Hi everyone! I need some feedback please! Our officiant is not religiously affiliated -- he is my former boss/good friend to my FI and me, and a member of Congress. Is he supposed to wear a suit or a tux? What do "non-religious" officiants usually wear? If he wears a tux, are we supposed to cover the cost of the rental for him? I feel like we should, but wedding costs are adding up FAST!! I would be fine with whatever he wanted to wear (suit or tux), but is there some kind of officiant-fashion etiquette I'm missing? Thanks!
