I had the pleasure of planning Jessica and Dave’s wedding this past weekend at The Elia in downtown Wilmington, where Barney was their officiant, and I truly cannot say enough wonderful things about working with him! It is so clear that Barney genuinely loves what he does and truly cares about building meaningful connections with both his couples and the vendors he works alongside. From start to finish, he was an absolute dream to work with! He was incredibly kind, responsive, professional, and so easy to communicate with, which is always so appreciated from a wedding planner’s perspective. Barney truly stood out to me as an officiant! His genuine kindness, passion, and dedication to creating a beautiful and meaningful ceremony are so evident in everything he does. I cannot recommend him enough! If you are looking for an officiant who is warm, genuine, thoughtful, and truly invested in making your wedding ceremony special and personal to you and your partner, Barney is an amazing choice!

I read in someone's review that if I was "lucky enough" to have Pastor Skip as my Officiant that my day would be exceptional. I cannot echo those words enough! From start to finish he and his wife were amazing to work with. He heard us, truly supported us, and our ceremony was better than I could have imagined. He was ready to incorporate our individual reading requests and threw in surprises of his own. It was amazing, truly. The love was emphasized with his appreciation and dedication to his role in our ceremony,

My husband and I had a very small wedding with just family at the beach on Emerald Isle, NC, and we decided to hire Kevin to be our officiant, which was the best choice we could have made! He is so fun to work with - he’s laid back, easy to talk to, professional, and very communicative. We didn’t have to stress about coordinating and scheduling, because he kept in contact and made planning the ceremony so simple! Most importantly, we absolutely loved how he performed the ceremony. He was even familiar with Emerald Isle so we gave us lots of helpful recommendations for places to stay, restaurants, and beach areas when we were trying to decide where exactly to have the ceremony! I would highly recommend Kevin to any couple planning to have a wedding, you will not be disappointed!

Dena was responsive and worked diligently to do what we asked of her. She made some wonderful suggestions that were incorporated into the ceremony. Dena was flexible, professional and very personable. Her spirit is manifest clearly in her preparation and presentation. We highly recommend her to any couples seeking to have an inspired ceremony.

Rosemarie was great. Very professional and prompt but also she was sweet, happy and fun. The ceremony was perfect and we really enjoyed the sand ceremony.

Great service and extremely personable and professional, with onstant communication.

We cannot recommend Holli enough! From the first moment we reached out, she was kind and made us feel very comfortable. We could tell she loved doing this and truly cares for the couples she works with. When we were visiting Wilmington for a weekend, Holli even got coffee with us to chat and get to know each other better before the wedding day. That meant so much to us to form a bond with the person who was officiating our wedding. She listened to everything we wanted and created the most beautiful ceremony that celebrated our love in a way that felt perfect to us. Not only did we love the ceremony, our guests kept mentioning what a great job Holli did! We are grateful to know such a wonderful, caring, and thoughtful person who was integral in our special day.

Rev. Angela was absolutely perfect for us. Her ceremony options were so flexible and beautiful and it made our ceremony perfect. She even called in leading up to the wedding to check in on me, and the day of she let me husband and I practice our vows with her since we were a bit nervous :) She was so genuine and lovely. We so appreciate her!

Nick was great at crafting the ceremony we desired. When I forgot my marriage license at home, and we realized this 30 minutes before the ceremony, he allowed us to go forward with the ceremony as planned and waited while a friend retrieved the certificate from our home at the start of the reception. We appreciated his flexibility so that we didn't need to delay or cancel our wedding because of our mistake. He has a great sense of humor and we both enjoyed working with him!
