Outer Banks

Wedding Officiants

It is your special day! You want a wedding officiant with 20 plus years of experience, a deep knowledge of the Outer Banks venues and vendors, an ordained pastor who also has "Mother of the Bride" experience, and someone fun, funny, and caring. That's me! Doing weddings is the highlight of my ministry, and I will help you personalize your ceremony into a day filled with unforgettable memories, God's blessing, and laughter that comes from a pastor who experiences deep joy in officiating. I will be in constant contact with you throughout the planning process, and love to help couples beyond the "ceremony" details. My daughter was married on the beach in Kitty Hawk a few years ago, so my "Mother of the Bride" knowledge will be helpful to you. I am an ordained, seminary-trained United Methodist pastor, so I can offer your families the full extent of pastoral care. As a former Navy wife, I especially love doing Military weddings. I have married many Catholics, and consider that my sub-specialty. Please contact me if you have any questions...I am here to serve our Lord, and YOU.

 Let me give you a little background and explanation as to how I became a Wedding Officiant. First of all...'Why Dr Dave? I have been a practicing Chiropractor since 1998. My wife and I relocated to the Outer Banks in 2001 looking for a 'change of pace' and immediately joined the family DJ business (www.soundwavz.com), playing almost exclusively for weddings. I have been involved in the Outer Banks wedding industry ever since. After a few years of being around weddings, I realized that the aspect I enjoy and respect the most is that moment when the couple exchange their vows and commit to each other before their friends and family, starting the rest of their lives together. My wife and I have been married since 1993. To this day, every wedding ceremony I witness still reminds me of that magical moment when Father Joe (in his Berks and odd socks) said; "I now pronounce you husband and wife! You may kiss the bride." For that reason, I decided that I would very much like to be an integral part in the union of two people wanting to share their lives together. Therefore I became an ordained Wedding Officiant in 2005, enabling me to marry two people who are committed to each other. As I am a spiritual person, I am not personally bound to any one religion at this point in my life. So if you are looking for a spiritual, light-hearted Officiant to administer your sacred vows as you start your journey through life together...let's talk.

Congratulations on your engagement! This is an exciting journey for the two of you. May you enjoy every step of the way. The Outer Banks is a magical setting for a wedding. One of the other choices that will have to be made in the next few weeks or months is your officiant. I believe that the ceremony is the opportunity a couple has to express their love and commitment. Imagine a ceremony that is joyful, celebrates the two of you, and speaks to who you are and what you value. A skilled celebrant can help you create a ceremony that you and your friends and family enjoy, feel encouraged by and remember and smile about for months to come. I have been helping couples do just that since 2008 and would be honored to help you create what you want and deserve. As a wedding celebrant I offer non-traditional spiritual ceremonies as well as non-denominational ceremonies focused on the beliefs of the couple. I often utilize prayer, readings or scripture from many different religious traditions depending on the requests of the couple. My goal is to honor the beliefs of the couple getting married. A little about me… I am a native North Carolinian from the mountains of North Carolina. I have had the good fortune to visit and live in many areas of the country, but I have chosen to live in the Outer Banks since 1989. I worked in the field of social work with children and families for over 35 years and retired several years ago. Since my retirement I have continued to travel, volunteer at primate refuges in Costa Rica and most of all enjoy the beautiful place I call home. I would describe myself as a spiritual person, environmentally conscious and active in making this world a better place for our children’s children. I became an officiant in 2008 after being asked to start assisting a friend with weddings in this area. I realized I really enjoyed working with couples and sharing in the love and joy of their special day.

I am one of those grateful individuals who feels gifted with a desire to serve others with my passion for language and the spoken words of romance. For those couples who consider themselves spiritual but not religious, I strive to bring the sacred spiritual into your wedding ceremony. I am currently working on two Buddhist wedding ceremonies that I am very excited about. I enjoy taking the intial consultation time to listen to your thoughts on religion and spirituality and have no personal agenda that I attempt to impose. Your ceremony is as individual as the two of you are and it is my work to create a meaningful ceremony for YOU. I am an ordained inter-faith minister lisenced to perform weddings in the Commonwealth of Virginia. I have performed over 40 ceremonies and have never been late! I believe that love is holy. I believe that love and commitment deserve to be honored, regardless of race or gender or sexuality. I believe John Lennon was right when he sang “Love is all there is”. If you ask me what I believe, I will tell you: "I believe in Love." May you be well and happy, Connie Hanna

As a local wedding officiant, I have served the entire Outer Banks area and can offer recommendations for the perfect ceremony location. I can also consult with you ahead of time to guide you through ceremony planning and am always available to answer questions and concerns. If needed, you can add a rehearsal for comfort.
