Sentimental and Touching

If you have Virginia as your elopement officiant, you are guaranteed to have the most special occasion ever. I initially had no idea how I wanted the ceremony to be structured and she walked me through the entire process and gave me examples and details of how my now husband and I might like our ceremony to go. Virginia was so warm and professional on the day of and I truly cherish her commitment to making our day feel so perfect. I 100% recommend Virginia to anyone in need of a spectacular officiant.

Amazing Rainy Ceremony with Virginia

Virginia is just amazing. My husband and I eloped on the Blue Ridge Parkway with just us, Virginia, and our photographer. She worked with us to create a personalized and heartfelt ceremony that honestly made me ball my eyes out the whole time. She was incredibly responsive, easy to work with, and has such a way with words. On top of it all, she was a trooper. The morning of our wedding it was cold and raining, and she made everything in our outside ceremony feel so special. Couldn’t recommend her enough.

Raven's Roost Elopement Ceremony

Virginia was amazing. My wife and I hired her to perform an elopement style wedding ceremony at Ravens Roost on the Blue Ridge Parkway in Charlottesville. She is LGBTQ friendly and has been performing ceremonies for this community for the past 16 years! She's warm, inviting, and puts everyone at ease with a little humor. She was attentive to our wants and needs for this intimate ceremony. Her husband was even gracious enough to snap a few photos during the ceremony. She made this moment unforgettable for my partner and I by helping transform our own words into an elegant wedding ceremony. Would recommend Virginia for all!

Great for our outdoor elopement

Virginia was very responsive and flexible to our needs. After a last minute time-change, she still delivered a fantastic ceremony for our small elopement. She took the time to get to know us and our few friends, and she made our marriage more memorable than I expected!

Beautiful Handfasting Ceremony

When our plans to go to Scotland to get married were cancelled due to the pandemic Virginia helped us plan a perfect Handfasting ceremony here close to home. Virginia was flexible when our time needed to be changed and she was overall more than willing to assist and help us plan the perfect vows for our ceremony.
