    Highly recommend!

    I have been a Wedding Planner for 12 years and have worked with many Officiants. Caroline was kind, professional, and quick to respond. I had a couple that wanted to "officially" get married a couple days before their wedding and have their uncle officiate the actual ceremony. Without hesitation, Caroline said yes!! She even met them at their hotel lobby with their witnesses to say "I Do" to make it more convenient for them. Thank you Caroline!!! You're the best!

    Amazing last minute wedding

    Caroline did an amazing job organising a literal last minute wedding for me and my husband! Originally we had just planned a court wedding, nothing special and found out on our way to meet our witnesses from my side of the family, that it wasn’t possible because it was a Sunday. I found Caroline through Google and explained the situation and she really came through for us and our mini last minute wedding ended up being more meaningful and special than we could’ve imagined. She is very professional and not to mention so sweet and caring! 5 stars doesn’t even cover it! We are forever grateful 🥰

    Exceptionally Gifted

    Caroline in truly the Best!! She pays attention to detail and ensures your wedding experience will be both wonderful and memorable. She literally saved the day, accomadating a wedding ceremony at such short notice. She provided a script that was unique and also suggested available venues. It was especially important and appreciated since the ceremony was to take place during this time of uncertainty with stay at home safety orders. Thank you!!!;)

    Great day during difficult times!

    Due to COVID-19, we decided to get our ceremony done as our real date was postponed to next year and we want to seal the deal. Caroline was prompt to return our call and discuss options. She even had a location in her area that served as a nice backdrop for the ceremony. She walked us through the process and sent us a script about what we would say. The ceremony was great even with 5-6 people present and she took great pictures of us. I would definitely recommend her!

    Excellent experience

    We had a quick wedding ceremony during the pandemic in April 2020 since we had to postpone our big wedding to 2021. It was such a simple and sweet ceremony and the officiant took COVID precautions seriously, which we appreciated.

    The Last Minute Wedding Officiant's reply:

    Hi Alexa, you are so sweet thank you for this sweet review. You have been wonderful too. I wish you the best in the years to come

    Great service!

    I am so happy to have hired Last Minute Officiant to officiate our wedding! We contacted them a few days before the wedding and didn’t know the location until a day or so before we got married, (it was more of an elopement) and they were so flexible. Francois was absolutely amazing and a pleasure to have for our wedding. He is friendly and hilarious and I would recommend him and Caroline both!

    Amazing Officiant! Don’t book anyone else!!!

    After our big wedding got postponed because of COVID 19 we decided 2 weeks prior to our original date that we didn’t want to miss out on getting married on the day we had planned for so long. Caroline was recommended to us via a Facebook group for NC Weddings and it was totally meant to be! I reached out to her and within 24 hours she contacted me back. We set up a meeting over the phone and ended up having the most positive and sweet conversation about my husband and I’s love story and god’s plan for us and how he definitely led us to Caroline for a reason despite the chaos of everything going on around us. She was extremely professional, kind and accommodating. For having just met us she knew exactly what worked best for our ceremony and the script she sent us prior to saying I do was perfect! During the ceremony she did stand 6ft away for social distancing reasons and we respected that greatly. She made the ceremony feel so sentimental and not like the rushed feeling of eloping which we didn’t want. At the end she had our families get together for a separate sweet moment prayer for my husband and I and that was one of the sweetest moments of the ceremony! If you ever need a last minute officiant go to Caroline!! She’s the best in the area and her prices are worth every cent for what she provides to a last minute ceremony.

    Great Experience!

    My husband and I had a fantastic experience with The Last Minute Wedding Officiant! Caroline is extremely responsive. She reached out to me via text message within an hour or two of me describing our needs in an email. We wanted to be married in 2 weeks. My husband had arrived on an approved K-1 visa prior to border closures as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, and Caroline was very understanding and flexible with our needs. Just because she is "last minute" does not mean she doesn't take the time to get to know couples. I would 100% recommend The Last Minute Wedding Officiant!

    Ashlee and Jake's Wedding

    Caroline made this day perfect for our daughter and her husband. We had plans for them to be married in Illinois on April 4, but with the virus, everything was changed last minute and she was very accommodating. She was so sweet.
    Thank you!

    Truly last minute and as “winging it” as you can get! In a good way!

    Caroline is super enthusiastic, responsive, and professional! Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, our options were super limited, and we had to cancel many of our plans, and my wife and I just couldn’t wait any longer! Despite this, Caroline was able to meet us at the desired location and perform the wedding ceremony very quickly and professionally! My bride’s ring got shipped here on time, but mine was delayed, so for the ring exchange, Caroline simply led us to laugh it off and pretend that my wife was putting on an imaginary ring haha! Despite my wedding being on such short notice, Caroline delivered as promised with the same enthusiasm and support that she provided on the phone! 10/10, highly recommend!

    A kind, cheerful, and professional officiant!

    I recently worked with Caroline at a wedding that I photographed. She was so professional and brought such positive vibes to the whole day! From the second she walked in, you could tell that she had a relationship established with the couple, and she made sure to get to know all of the vendors throughout the day as well. The ceremony was beautifully done, full of laughs and tears! I also loved that Caroline made a point to take a photo with the bride and groom before she left! I would recommend Caroline's services to any couple, and I hope to work with her again very soon!

    Simple and sweet ceremony -- good vibes! :)

    Caroline was a pleasure to have as our wedding officiant. She was very responsive, had great suggestions about how to incorporate our children into the ceremony through a sand ceremony, and was flexible with some of our special request for bilingual vows. We had a very intimate ceremony and she kept the vibe exactly as we had hoped... simple and sweet! Thank you Caroline!

    Caroline was great! She went above and beyond to make the whole family feel included, not to mention she made herself available with such short notice (contacted her Wednesday for Friday wedding). I would definitely recommend to anyone!

    Caroline was great! She was exactly what we wanted in an officiant. Very personable and she gave us great advice on location and everything else to make our day special with little stress. We wanted a quick and easy ceremony and it was perfect.

    Book Caroline for your big day! Either last minute or in advance, she will not dissapoint.

    As the Matron of Honor for a wedding, I assisted the Bride and Groom in locating Caroline from a different State, LAST MINUTE! She was extremely responsive, accommodating and positive, her enthusiastic personality set her apart from the other officiants I spoke with. The price was phenomenal for the services provided. At the venue the day of, it was like were were long time friends and the ceremony went off without a hitch! :)

    Highly Recommend.

    Much more than "Last Minute" :)

    I was the wedding coordinator for a wedding that Caroline officiated. I loved the special care she had for learning the couple's story so that she could create a custom ceremony that they will never forget! Don't let "Last Minute" fool you, she for sure put a ton of planning into this ceremony. I hope to work with her again soon!

    Ms. Caroline Hernandez...simply AMAZING!

    Upon research, Caroline responded in less than 48hrs and was available to officiate our wedding/reception. Pricing was great, a script was provided ahead of the event and she recommended a lovely Sand ceremony symbolizing our blended family which meant to world to my wife and I.
