Mr. And Mrs. Dennis Culbertson

My fiancé and I have been in a relationship for over 6 years, having lived together most of these years. With our ages in the latter 50's and past marriages, we desired to exchange our vows in an "elopement style". He found Valise, a notary and a wedding officiant that was just minutes from our home in Chapel Hill. We had a tight schedule and she was very flexible, courteous and professional when my fiance called to set up a date and time latter that week. She explained everything we needed to bring and arrived to her place of residence on Saturday evening, a week prior to Christmas. We are very pleased and appreciative of Valise Jackson's friendly, personable and professionalism. She officiated our ceremony in her romantic, cozy and festive living area in her home. The lighting was low and cozy. We definitely recommend her to anyone wanting a traditional wedding or just "wants to say I do". Her pricing and services were excellent!
