About

Have the wedding of your dreams on beautiful St. Simons Island or Jekyll Island, GA!

These Coastal Georgia islands are the epitome of tradition and romance and Southern Living at it's finest. The majestic Live Oaks draped with Spanish moss, the sandy beaches, and golf courses that would have brought a smile to Bagger Vance. These islands are home to major resorts as well as romantic B&Bs, but that southern charm is always present.



I offer full service wedding planning as well as 'day of' and partial planning. You may also choose from the elopement or wedding packages available, or ask for one to be customized exactly to your wishes. I will take care of all the details.

In addition to elopement and wedding planning, I am ordained to perform marriages...and what a privilege it is to preside over a wedding ceremony!

Perfect and Sweet Officiant

We loved working with Carla! She was the perfect person to marry us! We planned our destination wedding on Saint Simons Island while we were living in San Diego. I’m so happy that I found Carla to perform our ceremony in front of our 150 guests of family and friends at the King and Prince! She personalized our ceremony and truly expressed our essence as a couple! We met a few months before the wedding and that’s when I found out that she has the sweetest personality! She wanted to make sure that I had the wedding ceremony I was envisioning! She has a lot of experience officiating weddings and you can not go wrong booking her!

We did a sunset beach handfasting ceremony with Carla and we absolutely loved her! To begin, Carla helped us create an individualized package for our wants and needs to make sure we were absolutely happy with what we spent and what we received in return. Then, in planning, Carla answered every question we had and made sure everyone was on the same page at every available checkpoint. In addition, we provided Carla with an incomplete idea to what we wanted to include in our ceremony and asked Carla to flesh it out for us, which she did in such an incredible way! She really emphasized our original ideas with her additions and made sure everything we wanted was included in our ceremony. On our wedding day, when the inevitable snags came up, Carla would instantly contact me to make sure I was up to date with the latest progress on our wedding day and reassure me when our mistakes began to affect our wedding plans. She was such a strong support on our wedding day; we would recommend her in an instant to anyone who is looking for a ceremony officiant/planner who goes above and beyond expectations!

Ms. Carla is an -awesome- person and the perfect choice for a wedding officiant and planner. This woman is five stars +!
We live in Southern California and with her help we planned a small wedding in Savanna, Georgia. Everything from: renting the square where we said our vows, to arranging for transportation for all of the guests and even taking care of submitting our wedding license after we said our vows.
Our wedding ceremony was perfect. Even though we were not able to meet Ms. Carla till the day of our ceremony through our phone conversations and e-mails she got to know us as a couple, took our personalities and beliefs into account and tailored a service to fit the two of us.
What can we say other than a sincere “thank you” to an excellent wedding officiant and planner.

There are too many wonderful things to say about Carla! Upon meeting her we knew she was going to be the perfect officiant for our wedding. She took great care to get to know both us well in advance of our wedding - she asked about how we met, what we loved most about one another, and what our future goals were. Carla was eager to make the ceremony fit our families religious backgrounds and personal wishes. Our ceremony was better than I could have ever dreamed of thanks to Carla's attention to detail and genuine desire to make this moment in our lives unforgettable. We highly recommend her and will never forget her.

I was so stressed and stuck trying to plan a wedding on driftwood beach from out of town when I contacted Carla. I had been researching elopements and her name kept coming up positively in review after review so I took a chance. Definitely the right choice! Carla was extremely responsive and professional and it is clear that she truly cares about what she is doing. She connected us with an awesome florist and photographer and customized the ceremony exactly like we wanted. I would highly recommend anyone looking for a wedding planner and/or officiant to work with her! The pricing is very reasonable for all you get and she will make sure your day is very special.

So many times I've been to a wedding, looking forward to the reception AFTER the ceremony... With Carla, you will look forward to the ceremony as much, if not more than, the reception! She made my wedding ceremony personal! I had so many people tell me afterwards how wonderful my ceremony was and I give her credit for that. I highly recommend her if you are looking for an officiant for your wedding! I can't say enough good things about her!
