Laws vary from state to state. Religious leaders, judges and Justice of the Peace are the most common.
Captains of ships in international waters can perform ceremonies.
Check the laws in your area. Normally when you get a license, they specify who is qualified to be the performing person.

The Federal Bureau of Investigations (FBI), Captains and pretty much anyone who feels like logging onto those websites and paying a little bit of money to become ordained. My friend wanted her stepfather to perform her ceremony so they did some Internet thing and got him ordained as a minister. He legally performed the ceremony. Funny thing is that her biological father walked her down the isle.
