About

Hi, I’m Sully Carter of Vested in Me Weddings located in Orange, Virginia. I strive to be an honest, caring wedding celebrant and create a wedding ceremony that is not only memorable, but everything you envisioned it to be. As we begin the process, I will get to know you and your fiancé, your backgrounds and your expectations. I use this to craft a wedding ceremony that reflects your individual vision. I welcome couples of all faiths, beliefs, traditions, backgrounds including LGBTQ couples.

Experience
I am an authorized wedding officiant in Virginia, West Virginia and Maryland. This all began when I officiated a friend’s wedding in 2003. I really enjoyed the experience and it grew from there. I’m located in Central Virginia, but I travel all over Virginia, Maryland and West Virginia. I have had the pleasure of incorporating traditions such as, “jumping the broom,” “tying the knot” and “breaking the glass,” Mazel Tov!, to name a few.

Services Offered
I am happy to create a ceremony that reflects your individual wants and needs. I’ve performed intimate elopements with only three of us present, as well as elaborate ceremonies with hundreds of guests. You can contact me via phone or email to learn more and see if we will be a good fit. Once you've decided I’ll set up an initial consultation to go over the logistics of your big day. From there I will quote you a price and begin the process. Next, I will work with you to create a ceremony that reflects what you want. Throughout the process I will in touch making sure your ceremony is ready for your big day.

Additional services include:

  • Consultation
  • Ceremony rehearsal
  • Civil union
  • Non-religious
  • Single religion
  • Interfaith ceremony

Sully Knows What He's Doing

We thank Sully for all the time he put into our wedding and for walking us through the whole process, his ideas, and giving us vow-writing advice. The illuminating call to go over questions and personal touches was something we really appreciated and we think that Sully created an awesome reading for the ceremony. Sully also knows exactly how to handle the marriage license too! We are so lucky we found him from a random Internet search; working with him was a breeze and we can’t thank him enough!

Amazing experience!

Sully did an amazing job officiating our wedding! Our guests complimented us on our ceremony and some of them even thought he was family with how much he helped keep us calm and at ease. I knew I was going to cry and I told him to keep it lighthearted but not cheesy ahead of time, and he did a great job lightening the mood. I liked that he met with us to discuss our wants first and sent us a draft of vows, I did change the script a bit and personalized the vows more for us, but he had a great outline for me to work with. He did an amazing job on our wedding day and I was very happy! Thanks Sully! I highly recommend him! I’ve been to other weddings and I felt Sully did better than the officiants at other weddings and even some of my friends have said the same thing

Fantastic Officiant!

Sully is fantastic to work with. He was extremely prompt and asked targeted questions to help us during the planning process. His script was specific to us and adapted to our requests. He shared drafts with us to ensure that his script was meaningful to us. He was very helpful during the rehearsal and executed flawlessly during the wedding. Sully is very kind, professional, and engaging and we cannot recommend him enough.

An Awesome Officiant

Sully was an incredible officiant for our wedding, from our first meeting with him to determine what we wanted the ceremony to look like, through the day of the wedding.

Super sweet, would recommend for any couple-to-be!

We loved working with Sully. He was so flexible about our many wedding date changes due to Covid, and helped us craft our ceremony script so wonderfully (my husband and I were really helpless and clueless so it was so awesome that Sully walked us through everything). He has a great sense of humor, is very chill and down-to-earth, and professional. I would highly recommend him to any couple getting married in Virginia! :)

Amazing officiant

We had an outdoor wedding ceremony in Shenandoah Valley which was officiated by Sully. He is not only an excellent officiant but also a great person to work with. When we first spoke to Sully to discuss our ceremony, we weren’t very sure of what exactly we were looking to do. He took the time to get to know us and helped us figure few things out by asking us the right questions. We loved working with him on the ceremony script and he was very accomodating of our requests.



On the day of the wedding, Sully showed up well before the ceremony. He officiated the ceremony very well and everything went smoothly (despite the rain before and after the ceremony). I highly recommend hiring him.

Sully is the best!

We were so lucky to work with Sully. Of course with Covid, our plans changed and we ended up with a much smaller wedding in a different location. He was so kind and flexible and really made things easy for us. He took the time to get to know us and helped make the ceremony perfect for us. Highly recommend Sully and hope we get to see him again!

Best Officiant!

We had the privilege of having Sully officiate our October wedding and couldn't have been happier. From the minute we met with him, we both felt at ease and understood as a couple. His calm presence at our wedding was invaluable. And his timing was impeccable. Including when he brought us food during cocktail hour so we could eat while taking photos! Wish we could do it over again!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
