Carly was truly magical!

Carly was the best officiant we could have asked for! My wife and I had to postpone our original wedding date due to the COVID pandemic, so we decided to go ahead and do a small local elopement, and have the big wedding celebration later on. We wanted to have the ceremony someplace a little more special than the courthouse, so we decided to find an officiant and do it at a local park. When we found Magical Weddings by Carly we knew we would be a perfect match! Carly was LGBTQIA+ friendly and a nerd/geek enthusiast like us! Carly was more than willing to help make the ceremony tailored to us. Carly helped us incorporate a hand-fasting, and was more than willing to help our nerd shine and integrate LOTR and Doctor Who references into the ceremony. Thank you so much Carly for making our elopement so magical!!

Carly is wonderful!

From the moment we sought out Carly and chose them to be our officiant, we knew we had made the right choice. They provided us with options we had not considered and helped to make our wedding ceremony unique and memorable. We would never have thought to include a hand-fasting into our ceremony and could not be happier with the way it turned out. We heard so many compliments from our guests as to how lovely it was - despite the oppressive heat of the day! Through all the sweat - Carly kept their composure and everyone's attention as they worked through the ceremony. We will never forget the day nor the ways that Carly added to it!

Beautiful ceremony

Carly worked with us to make the perfect ceremony for our wedding. She stuck with us for two rounds of date changes due to Covid (thank you!) and she nailed our request for a “spiritual but not overly religious sounding” ceremony. My grandmother said she was blown away by how nice it was. Lovely working with her!
