Wedding Officiant
Explanation:
This is a widely used term that covers everyone who can legally perform a wedding including priests, ministers, justices of the peace, etc. In case of doubt it could be the best option.

You're welcome, but I think the word "Judge" should be part of your expression, be it "marrying judge" or "wedding judge", to let clear that a judge did the job, not any other celebrant.
