Lana Del Rey and Jeremy Dufrene's wedding was officiated by an important, albeit controversial, spiritual leader ... TMZ has learned.

According to the couple's marriage certificate, which was obtained by TMZ ... Pastor Judah Smith conducted the pair's nuptials down in Louisiana last month, with the Churchome leader signing off on the document.

It's not entirely surprising that Judah oversaw the singer's wedding to her alligator tour guide lover ... Lana included one of his sermons, titled "Judah Smith Interlude," on her ninth studio album, "Did You Know That There’s a Tunnel Under Ocean Blvd," last year.

A lawyer for the church later defended Churchome, noting the church "believes the Bible teaches that all Christians should tithe."
