The best officiant - personal & professional

We feel so lucky to have found Bill Simpson. He took time throughout the process leading up to the wedding to get to know us, and seemed to truly "get" us as a couple from the moment we met. It made for a ceremony that was the perfect mix of traditional yet personal, which is exactly what we wanted. Our family and friends have not stopped raving about our ceremony and what a wonderful job he did. I would highly recommend Bill to anyone looking for an officiant in the Wilmington area.

Bill is the best!

Bill officiated our elopement in May and will be officiated our big wedding celebration in December. We met for coffee with Bill and his beautiful wife, Tammy. We instantly knew he was the one we wanted to marry us (even though he is a NC state fan). He offered fantastic counseling and as we are Christians...he helped prepare us to put Chris at the center of our marriage at our request. He was so flexible when COVID-19 hit and changed a lot of our plans. The ceremony was absolutely beautiful (despite Tropical Storm Arthur also) and we are extremely fortunate to have Bill be apart of our big day. We consider him a lifelong friend and look forward to continuing to work with him! I cannot recommend him enough to all my family and friends. Thank you again Bill for all that you have done for us!
