About

Personal Weddings of NC exists for only one reason - to help you create a wedding ceremony that reflects your own unique style and personality as a couple. I am fully ordained and will spend whatever time it takes to get to know you, learn your story, and craft the perfect ceremony for you. Whether you're looking for a religious ceremony, a non-religious ceremony or something in between, I am at your service and will stand with you every step of the way. I am not one of your "vendors". I am your friend, your mentor, and your champion as we celebrate YOU!

​My services include:

  • Unlimited consultation and advising on all aspects of your ceremony
  • Complete planning, personalization, and customization of your ceremony
  • Coordinating and running your rehearsal
  • Working closely with all of your vendors (wedding planner, musicians, DJ, photographer, etc.)
  • Handling of all your legal paperwork

I will strive to get to know you, so that I can write and tailor a service that is both personal and meaningful. There is no such thing as a "one-size-fits-all" ceremony. This is your day, and I will do everything possible to make the entire experience memorable for you, your family members and friends.

Fees start at $350 and are all-inclusive without any "hidden" charges. I prefer to be present at the rehearsal and even if there isn't a formal rehearsal, I'm glad to walk through everything with the wedding party on the day of the ceremony. It's important that everyone is comfortable with where they stand, when to move, etc.

I honor the commitment made by all couples and faith traditions (or the lack thereof), regardless of race, socioeconomic status, ethnic background, age, beliefs, gender or sexual orientation. Love Is Love.

Personal Weddings NC is a Raleigh-based wedding officiant that creates ceremonies that are tailored to you. Because they believe that “one-size-fits-all” ceremonies don’t exist, they are devoted to learning about your love story.

Quiet & Comfortable Ceremony

My husband and I participated in the Matthews House Pride event; and Kevin and everyone involved made the experience so much better than I could have imagined. Kevin made us both feel so comfortable and cared for on a day that was special. I’ve never been one for sentimental events, but everything from what was said, to demeanor was lovely and put me at ease. He even was very quick to respond when I had a hiccup with contacting the photographer, and I appreciated so much how he went truly above and beyond. I highly recommend!

Pride 2023 Wedding Day

Kevin hosted a pride wedding day in June of 2023 with a collection of other vendors. My wife and I saw the Instagram post advertising the event one week before and jumped on board and I am so thrilled we did! The moment was magical, Kevin and his team made everything so simple and streamlined from start to finish. I really felt like we didn't have to worry about anything but showing up. We did not know the vows before we arrived, but they were so heartfelt, and there was not a dry eye in sight! Kevin and his wife were so kind, and committed to making the day special. I cannot thank them and the other vendors enough for their time and attention. We really felt the love!
