    Planning an out of state wedding can be stressful, but Victoria and her husband are the most gracious and wonderful people. My husband and I threw together a wedding at the last moment- we changed our minds on what we were doing, and at the end of the day, just wanted a private ceremony. I contacted several people, including Victoria. She was the first to respond, and offered the best service. Her prices are lower than ANY of her competition; we were looking at North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee, Oregon, Connecticut, and California. Even though she had family in town, she still performed our ceremony.
    It was completely customized; I know couples with traditional weddings who didn't get to build a personalized ceremony the way we did. And the actual ceremony... it was perfect. Everything was flawless, and she and her husband are the most gracious and kind hosts! The property is beautiful, and the pictures are taken with a professional camera. Everything about them is 100% professional, with a low cost!
    I have told several of my friends who are looking at wedding venues to talk to Victoria. I was nervous and worried about setting up an out of state wedding, but this service was FLAWLESS. I'm in Tennessee, and we drove 5 hours to get to North Carolina. All we did was show up and enjoy our private moment.

    When it came to finding an officiant, I was having such a hard time finding someone that I felt was right. I wanted someone that could capture the love that my husband and I have for each other. When I talked to Victoria on the phone I knew right away she was perfect. She was so sweet and I connected with her right away. We worked together through email and she put together a perfect ceremony for my wedding. She was so easy to work with and made my wedding day so special. My father in law had just passed away two weeks before the wedding and she put in a special tribute to him in the ceremony. Thank you so much Victoria!

    I was looking for a wedding officiant when I found Rev. Victoria Hutchins online. Initially, I was planning a ceremony with a very quick turn around (days). She was on-board immediately. However, due to my own scheduling issues, we ended up picking a date 2 months out. Rev. Victoria was there to lead us through the entire planning process for our small intimate double- wedding event. RiverMist is a beautiful venue for such an event. Every correspondence with her was punctual and friendly as we decided all of the details. Upon arriving at RiverMist on the date of our wedding, we were greeted by the most loving smile with the friendliest couple (Guy and Victoria) to share our special day. We could not have asked for more. Our only regret was that we did not have more foresight to take better picture with Rev. Victoria to help us to remember our day. Guy served as our photographer and we will forever be thankful for their assistance as we begin our new lives as married couples.

    Victoria was such a pleasure to work with. She put together a beautiful ceremony that was perfect for us. Victoria and Guy both welcomed us into their home and made us feel like family. Our wedding day was absolutely perfect and we can't express how grateful we are for finding Victoria.

    Victoria Hutchins is an experienced, kind, generous and sensitive officiant, and she and her husband Guy made our wedding ceremony a wonderfully special event. She wrote our ceremony, and it was perfect for us, being very private people, and spiritual rather than religious. The location of RiverMist was ideal, and so lovely. Guy took great photographs, and they both made us feel so welcome and at ease. We cannot thank Victoria enough for her capable and heartfelt "officiating" and highly recommend her!

    Derek and I were so pleased with Victoria and Guy's hospitality and professionalism. We were nervous at first to book a venue out of state, not actually having seen it before our wedding day, but it was absolutely beautiful!! What we wanted was a special, intimate setting without feeling rushed and it was all that and more. Guy also took photos which turned out great and we got to take them with us before leaving. We were very pleased with the entire process, from the communication to the planning, everything to the the event and even the follow up!! We'd highly recommend booking with them :)

    Our wedding was perfect. Since it was a two-groom wedding we worried about how the whole thing would play out. Victoria made our day run like a fine oiled machine. Several of our guest commented on our ceremony. We could not have gotten a better officiant.

    Victoria helped make our day even more special than I could have imagined. I really wanted a wedding without all of the typical stress so that we could focus on each other and our children. Victoria helped us prepare every step of the way. I have never been involved in the planning of a wedding, so I really needed that. The ceremony and the setting were simply beautiful. I loved hearing the sound of the water below us. Even my young girls -were touched by the ceremony. This was a huge day for them too and Victoria beautifully acknowledged them and their importance to us during the ceremony.
    We also loved having the cake outside on the bridge. The cake was more beautiful than I expected - and delicious too.
    Victoria and husband were such gracious hosts - allowing us and our lively children to use there home to prepare. Again, it was beautiful. Her husband also provided us with a cd of wedding photos that we will cherish forever.

    My husband and I planned our NC wedding from Ohio, and Rev. Victoria was wonderful! We found her on the Internet and she responded right away, was able to get everything done via email, and always responded quickly. We were so happy that she helped us through all the steps, had many suggestions and let us pick exactly what we wanted and the type of wedding we hoped for. She was very professional, came early on our wedding day, and did everything perfectly. She is a kind and truly lovely person, and made our wedding day very special! Thanks for everything!

    Our wedding day could not have been more perfect. Rev Victoria Hutchins will always have a special place in our heart. She makes you fill welcome from the beginning. She puts her heart into what she does and it shows. It was almost like a fairy tale. The magic that you fill is amazing and something that you will never forget. We made many special memories that will last a life time. Her husband Guy is just as amazing. The two of them together will make it a wedding you will never for get.

    Planning a wedding at the best of times is a stressful time. But for us it was even more so as we are long distance. I live in the UK and my husband lives in the US. We knew we wanted to get married in the US and found Victoria online. She is an absolute blessing. A lovely lady, she helped us with our vows, nothing was too much trouble for her. The ceremony was just beautiful, and extremely precious. It all felt so right. Victoria and her husband Guy are lovely people. Warm, welcoming and very very gracious, nothing was too much for them. They helped with nerves, getting us both relaxed before the ceremony. The ceremony itself was just perfect. The venue is simply breathtaking, the views and surrounding area peaceful and vibrant. Everything worked together to give us a ceremony that we both wanted. We are so glad to have found Victoria, a lovely lady who made our special day all that more special.
    Thank you Victoria and Guy for making our day all the more special.

    We live in Michigan & chose to elope in N. Carolina while there on vacation in May 2014. Thankfully, I found Victoria Hutchins & Rivermist while searching the internet for an officiant. She helped make our wedding day stress free & special. From the beautiful ceremony & covered bridge to her professionalism & genuine caring of our wants & needs...everything was perfect! Bob & I can't thank you & Guy enough for a day we'll never forget! Huge thanks to Guy for all the great photos he took during & after the ceremony. Much love & many blessings to you both!

    We live in Kentucky and planning a wedding long distance can be stressful but Victoria made every step of the planning easy. The ceremony was beautiful and we chose the outdoor chapel covered bridge as the site, and it was beautiful as well. We were very happy with the site and the ceremony.

    From planning to event this was the BEST choice for us! SO EASY! Following the guidance received from our answers to the pre-wedding survey Victoria put together a ceremony that was exactly what we desired. We were able to suggest changes and they were implemented with ease.

    We had many compliments on the venue and how everything was together, making it a smooth day. Victoria and Guy were patient as we waited for lost guests and made everyone feel comfortable and welcome.

    The weather was a question, as it has been all summer! Fortunately the day was overcast and cooperative for an outdoor event. Guy was able to take several great pictures.

    Advice for future brides...Think about what pictures you want. Guy does a great job, but if you want a lot of shots you need to be prepared to tell him what all you want. We weren't sure. I take hundreds of pictures of everything in hopes that I will get a few really spectacular shots and I take a lot without staging. Guy was more targeted in his approach and got several good shots, but I wish I had given more thought to the photography aspect and gotten more pictures of us and the kids.

    Because we wanted a simple event we considered planning everything ourselves and using separate officiant/vendor location/etc... I am so glad that we chose Victoria. Smooth, easy, and exactly what we desired. Highly recommend for any couple who wants a small intimate event.

    We wanted an easy and stress-free wedding, but still wanted the elements of a traditional ceremony. Victoria made our day very special and it was more than we ever expected. She worked with us to create a ceremony that was perfect for us. We got married at RiverMist, and the place was amazing and absolutely beautiful! The pictures her husband took were incredible, and it is wonderful having those pictures to look back on. Both Victoria and her husband were very kind and welcoming, and made us and our few guests feel very comfortable. We are so glad that we found Victoria to officiate our wedding, and we wouldn't have wanted our wedding day any different.

    I would highly recommend Victoria Hutchins to anyone. I spent quite a bit of time on the computer looking for the right "fit" for my elopement (officiant, location, etc.), and I found it with her and the Rivermist location.

    She was organized, helpful, patient (with date changes!) - but most importantly, it is very obvious that she truly loves what she does and is truly interested in making your special day SPECIAL!
