Cynthia Is The Best!

I have known Cynthia for over 30 years. She recently officiated the marriage of my daughter, Emily, and her husband, Matt. It was a beautiful ceremony that really captured their vision. Cynthia is very knowledgeable, professional and easy to work with. I would highly recommend her!

Cynthia Gave Us The Perfect Ceremony!

Ceremony By Cynthia has to be the greatest value for hiring a wedding officiant the Outer Banks has to offer. She is extremely flexible, very friendly and easy to communicate and work with. She never confused us, she didn't try to put any pressure on us about any of our ceremony details at all, and she was adaptable to any changes or updates that may have occurred during preparations for our event. She reached well beyond our expectations, as she helped us with securing venue locations for our ceremony and the rehearsal, and she also personalized our ceremony to ensure guests and honored loved ones were acknowledged. Her rates for services were very affordable, and I honestly believe we couldn't have sought a better person to help us manage our wedding! If they were the kind of thing you do over and over with your partner, we'd happily choose Cynthia for our officiant every time!

Everything we hoped for in an Officiant!

Cynthia was wonderful to work with! She was friendly, responsive, and always available to answer our questions. Her warm and friendly presence helped set the perfect tone for our ceremony and made everyone feel comfortable.

She also handled our marriage license promptly after the wedding. We highly recommend Cynthia to any couple looking for a caring and professional officiant. Thank you for helping make our day so special! 💙

Short on time

We wanted to get married with only one day that worked for our family. Cynthia was able to work with us and performed an absolutely beautiful ceremony while given a very small window. She is a warm and kind officiant whom I HIGHLY recommend.

Vows in Kitty Hawk with Cynthia and a little cottage by the sea…a perfect day and a perfect life!

A huge thank you to Cynthia for a wonderful ceremony by the sea! She was super flexible and worked with us to have the low-key beach vibe wedding we wanted. She provided a lot of options and had some great suggestions. Our wedding was perfect and our marriage is going strong. We now come back to that stretch of sand annually with our two children in tow and remember where it all began. We could not be more pleased or recommend her more strongly. Thank you.

The Best!!

As a wedding planner, I have had the opportunity to work with many officiants. Cynthia was exceptional to work with and an outstanding wedding officiant. She was professional, warm, and well prepared, delivering a ceremony that was both meaningful and personal. Her calm presence and attention to detail made the entire process seamless from start to finish. I could not have asked for a better officiant for the couple’s special day.

Cynthia was a wonderful officiant!

Cynthia did a wonderful job officiating our November wedding. She worked with us to make sure our ceremony was the perfect balance of modern and spiritual. We wanted a quick ceremony and Cynthia accommodated it beautifully and it did not lack any depth. She walked us through different ways to build a ceremony that was special and unique to us. Our day was perfect and we could not have done it without her. - The Kaplans

Best Officiant! ❤️❤️

Cynthia was the best officiant we had! She is great of what she does! Her words inspired me, my husband and my guests. When we have any questions, Cynthia’s response was very quick! She was very patient with us and made us feel calm since of course there was so much wedding planning to do. But she assured us in every aspect to take our time. Overall, I love Cynthia and we wish we could’ve spend more time with her! ☺️❤️
