Rev. Barbara made our beach marriage come true!

We had planned to go to the court house while on vacation with immediate family then have a celebration in a couple of months with family and friends, however, the magistrate was out that day and we were recommended to call Barbara. What a happy turn of events! We called Barbara and within a few hours she was at our rental house and walking with us to the beach to marry us in front of the ocean. Way better than the court house environment, especially since we could bring our dogs! She asked questions about us and catered the ceremony to us and even added some unique outer banks information that made it so special. Barbara is very warm, professional, and thorough. She fit in great with our family and was very informative on the legal process. Although Barbara's services cost more than the magistrates, she is well worth the money! She came to us and saved us 2 hours of driving as well as making my beach wedding dreams come true. Thank you for all of our thoughtful additions to the service Barbara, we are so glad we found you!

Wonderful wedding experience

My wife and I couldn’t have had a better experience. Barbara gave us a wedding that we will remember forever. We quickly learned that she has quite the outstanding reputation in and around the Outer Banks, and we can see why. Barbara was knowledgeable, professional, and flexible (our wedding plans changed last minute, and she quickly accommodated). We highly recommend My OBX Officiant!

Best Officiant in OBX!

If you are looking for an officiant for your OBX wedding, look no further. Barbara is absolutely amazing to work with throughout the process. She took the time to get to know us as people by meeting with us as the wedding got close. Then she met with us again in the days before the wedding to walk us through everything and make sure it was everything we wanted. She is just a truly wonderful person and wrote us a beautiful ceremony that shared our love story with all our guests. We got so many compliments on her ceremony. She is also a total pro about making sure all of our documents were signed and turned in to the correct offices. We couldn't imagine our day without her!!

Professional & Genuine

Barbara is one of the most professional and genuine individuals I have ever met. Barbara has a bubbly and real personality so it’s impossible not to like her! She was very thoughtful and open when writing our ceremony script which made the process very easy and fun. She took the time to get to know us which lead to a very personalize script. During the ceremony she spoke with pose and love. Everyone loved her speech. Barbara is efficient and was a true gift to our ceremony. I highly recommend having her officiant your wedding as she is a genuinely kind person.

2023 OBX oceanfront wedding

I couldn't have asked for a better person to join my husband and I in marriage! Joshua and I have been together since the 7th grade and Barbara perfectly captured our love story over just a few emails. We are very simple people and wanted more of an elopement small wedding and Barbara went above and beyond to make our wedding the wedding every little girl dreams of.
I can't thank her enough for her kindness, her input and knowledge on this entire process. Anyone who is looking for an officiant look no further than Barbara! Joshua and I are so blessed to have had her marry us. Our families from out of state watched through a live stream and felt her warmth, her love, her energy, and purity through the phone in immense waves like the ocean. Imagine the waves, holding the love of your life's hands, the energy of love between the two, and add Barbara's sincerity. I will forever dream about our perfect day and I will always been incredibly thankful for Barbara!

Thank you, Barbara!

Barbara worked with us just a couple of short months before the big day and made our dream ceremony come true. She eloquently combined our Jewish and Christian traditions with other heartfelt, beautiful additions that just wowed us. She made sure everything that was important to us was included in our ceremony. She is a true professional and a very talented speaker. I am so grateful to have had her as our officiant. Thank you, Barbara!

Small Beach Wedding

Barbara was amazing! She really listened to our wants and how we wanted our ceremony to go. She was so amazing our kids even said that it felt like we knew her and we only met in person a few minutes before the ceremony. We loved our ceremony and would recommend Barbara to anyone wanting a personal ceremony!

Rev. Jay Bowman Rev. Jay Bowman Wedding Officiants

There are very few officiants on the Outer Banks that I feel comfortable recommending. Partially because I'm not really there when they perform the ceremony. But everything I've heard about how Babs makes a ceremony special for couples has been excellent. And besides that, I know her personally to be a very kind and genuine person.

Rev. Dawn Marsh Gallogly Rev. Dawn Marsh Gallogly Wedding Officiants

Barbara is my mentor and I have learned so much from her. Watching her work with couples is inspiring. She truly brings a couple's true heart into each and every ceremony. Her careful attention to detail is evident in each ceremony.
