Outstanding Officiant

My husband and I aren't religious and she was mindful to keep that in consideration when helping us craft what we wanted said for the ceremony. She sent us a robust set of questions for us to consider that helped us figure out how we wanted to do our vows and readings. Additionally, she helped us navigate what we needed with regards to a marriage license in North Carolina. I also really appreciated that she held onto my hand written vows and mailed them back to me after the wedding. Overall, Ashley is an extremely thoughtful and considerate officiant.

So professional and friendly

She really knows what she’s doing and made the whole process a breeze! My husband and I were already married so having an officiant was the last thing on my mind and she was available on somewhat short notice. Everything was perfect and I was so happy to have met her.

Friendly, Helpful, Professional Officiant!

Ashley was incredibly friendly, kind and professional. She was more than willing to meet with us when we preferred face to face interaction and offered many examples of poems, readings, formats, etc... She eased my fears when I would worry about our ceremony being too short, too long, too unemotional, too emotional... Ashley was super easy to work with, had great insight into what makes a ceremony special, and she really made it so I didn't have to worry about anything ceremony-related the leading up to and the day of the wedding. I'd highly recommend hiring Ashley!

Wonderful Experience!

Ashley is an excellent communicator and also helps you draft your ceremony to fit you exactly how you imagine it/want it. She gets to know about you first and what you'd like and puts together the perfect ceremony. Ours went perfectly well and I highly recommend her. She keeps in touch, asks questions, communicates, and shows up on time. She's an excellent officiant.

Ashley was professional, flexible and gracious under pressure. We could not have done it without her. Her fees are perfectly reasonable. We recommend her without reservation

Ashley was such a pleasure to work with, and we enjoyed getting to know her along the way. She put together the perfect ceremony that truly captured our personalities and love for each other.

Your wedding day and the months leading up to it can be stressful, so it's important to choose your team wisely, and we definitely did by choosing Ashley to officiate our wedding. She's professional, personable and well-spoken. You won't regret hiring her for your special day :)

Mrs.Walker was the best very professional and thought our communication started off a little slow I am so glad that she was the one to marry my now husband and I. She's very affordable with her prices as well. I eloped and didn't have a big wedding. She was prepared and on time!!! Thank you Mrs.Walker !

Our wedding was in the heat of July, at Congaree National park. Ashley conducted our ceremony with poise and professionalism. She was very accommodating, punctual, and well spoken. Leading up to the ceremony, Ashley was always quick to respond to any questions I had and provided very thorough outlines for various ceremony options. My ceremony was small and only 2 hours long, but Ashley made my wedding feel more traditional and special. We left for our honeymoon directly after the wedding and I had no worries. I was delighted to see that before we returned, our names were already registered as being married! Thank you Ashley and I will definitely recommend you in the future!

I can't began to say how happy I was that God chose Ashley to be our Wedding Officiant...Ashley was so patient and not to mention very professional. No need to look no further if you're contemplating whom to choose. Don't be fooled by the comparison in pricing. She's definitely thee most reasonable in comparison with pricing. So some may view her in comparison with others and feel because her price is so low that perhaps she's not as good as the competitors. I can assure you that's where you'd be wrong at! She in my book beats out all the other competitors! I'm very picky and I can even be a tad bit anal when it comes to inquiries. Ashley never once got impatient with my many questions...not too mention my indecisiveness on which date to chose??

Although we've been together for some time and engaged since last year we knew we wanted to elope and left selecting an actual wedding date open ended. A last minute decision to marry on April Fool's day sounded like a fun adventure, but with 72 hours notice we doubted we'd pull it off! I contacted Ashley because of her excellent rating on WeddingWire and she did not disappoint! She contacted me shortly after my request and was very patient while I explained our short time line and questions on how we would be able to have a "no fuss" ceremony, but also something we would find meaningful and memorable to us both. Ashley was excited and "on board" to help us make our unique wedding date a possibility and excitedly offered locations for our last minute elopement. She was early for the event, delivered a beautiful ceremony and professionally handled all the paperwork afterward. Although we are still assuring friends that we are actually married and this was not an April Fool's day prank, we love our unique anniversary date and had a beautiful private ceremony. Thank you Ashley!

Ashley was absolutely amazing! She was very helpful with coming up with ideas and suggestions for the ceremony. She was very patient and understanding with our kids and all that comes with a wedding with kids involved. The ceremony went amazing especially with all the little mishaps we had occur. ;) Everyone was talking about the ceremony afterwards. I can't say enough good things about Ashley and the work she did. I will definitely recommend her to anyone in the future.

I've known Ashley since college, and when it came time to select an officiant for our ceremony, and I chose Ashley because I knew she would be able to give us the ceremony we wanted without any fuss. Ashley listened to what we wanted, and she absolutely delivered. She wrote a beautiful introduction about us, and she included everything we wanted. She also did a handfasting ceremony for us, which requires a little extra practice to wrap the cords right! If you're looking for an easy-going, professional, friendly officiant who will give you exactly what you want, look no more!

Ashley did such a great job with our ceremony. We wanted to keep it short and sweet and she created that perfectly. We couldn't have asked for a more perfect officiant to help us make our day so special.

My husband and I are so happy we chose Ashley as an officiant for our wedding day! She is very professional, she answers questions promptly, and she is very polite. Not only did she show on time for our wedding day but she stay after and explained how the process goes for the filing of our marriage licenses and answered all of our questions. She is an awesome officiant....worth 5 stars!!!

Ashley is nothing short of amazing! I contacted her not only the day before I wanted to have a very small wedding ceremony, consisting of my bride, myself, and 3 family members, but also on a holiday weekend. Ashley called me back in less then 5 minutes. She was welcoming, professional, and extremely helpful. My wedding was a same sex ceremony, and she made us feel very comfortable, she even offered to hang around and take pictures. If you have the opportunity to allow Ashley to officiate your wedding, don't miss out!

We called Ashley a few days before we needed our ceremony, and she was very responsive. She asked us questions about our lives and wrote the ceremony about us. She charged $75, TOO reasonable so we gave her $120 (TIP YOUR VENDOR, THEY WORK FOR YOU!!!) She was very nice and very professional, she was a few minutes late, but to be fair, where we were was hard to find : ) The ceremony was more than perfect : )

Ashley answered pretty quickly after we contacted her. We needed someone to marry us within the next week, and she was able to squeeze us into her busy schedule. When we met with her, she was very professional and friendly. She guided us through the process to make sure we get what we want for our big day. Thanks, Ashley!

Ms. Moore was nothing short of amazing! Her communication, promptness, and personality were all a bonus. I had a very last minute situation, however she handled it with ease and perfection. I'm so glad I chose Ms. Moore to be a part of my special day. Very highly recommended! ?

Mine was a same sex marriage to a wonderful woman who has been there for me for 23 years. Through 8 major surgeries in 10 years. We still felt a stigma attached to our relationship and were having a problem finding someone at short notice. I emailed Ashley and she responded within 30 minutes! We met her on the horseshoe at USC in a small garden and had the most beautiful and intimate wedding. Ashley officiated (23 years in the making) the wedding and made us both feel so comfortable with our vows and our adlib vows to each other. She made us feel so special and proud of our long lasting relationship, as it should be! Don't be fooled by her youthful appearance, she is such an old soul and she made it so personal with so little time!
I never thought I'd see the day we would be able to marry legally and so happy that we found someone who cared about our love and commitment and shared in our joy with us! Thank you so much Ashley!

Ashley Moore did a wonderful job as our officiant. We had our original officiant drop out last minute and were scrambling to find another. We found Ashley a week before our wedding. She was professional and courteous. She learned our ceremony format and everything went off with no issues. For the short time frame and host of other complications due to the flooding in Columbia, Ashley did an amazing job. Highly recommend her as an officiant for anyone.

Ashley was absolutely amazing!
At the last minute my original officiant fell through so I got on wedding wire to try to find a new one. Ashley quickly responded to my request. She met with me within a few days and went over what I had in mind for our vows. She did an awesome job personalizing our vows. She was on time for rehearsal to make sure we didn’t have any questions and went over the ceremony twice with us. Ashley was very professional and personable. I recommend her to anyone who is looking for an officiant to marry them!
Thank you so much Ashley!!

When I contacted Ashley Moore, I thought she would think I was crazy. I told her that my wedding was less than 2 months away and that I had an officiant. But the officiant I hired (who said they do personalized weddings) gave me a fill in the blank wedding. There was nothing about David and myself in the wedding. It just had a few blank spaces where are names were to be inserted. Out of all the plans for the wedding day, I felt like the actual wedding ceremony needed more attention. So I tried to write my own wedding...... that was going nowhere fast. So I randomly went on wedding wire one night and found Ashley. Something told me to contact her. So I sent her a bizarre email asking for help. She got back to me so fast it surprised me!!! She was more than happy to write my wedding. I still didn't know what I wanted so I just wrote how my fiancé and I met and how we got engaged. Somehow she turned this jumbled up story into a BEAUTIFUL WEDDING CEREMONY! I could have never pictured anything better. When she sent me the ceremony back, I read the first 2 sentences and told my fiancé to turn off the tv and listen to this. We loved it! And it was perfect on the first try. I am soooooo excited. I feel so much better about the wedding now. I am so happy I contacted Ashley and I wish I could give her a big hug!!!

Ashley was AMAZING! She met us at a vacant wooded lakeside lot where we plan to build our future home and trekked through to the water's edge to conduct our ceremony. She was very patient & helpful and even spent some extra time afterwards to take photos for us in various settings including flower gardens and on a floating dock. We would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a wedding officiant as she is very thoughtful and thorough!

Not only did Ms.Moore provide a great ceremony for my husband and I, she exceeded our expectations. From the beginning communication was excellent we got an immediate response from her and shared ideas until days before our ceremony. She also provided us with many ideas fit for us personalizing everything to what made it a very special day. Thank you for such great service!

Ashley was great

Wrote a beautiful ceremony for our wedding, even though it was a little unconventional. My only knock would be, maybe shouldn't wear jeans to officiate a wedding. Other than that, great experience. Reccomend

She did a wonderful job officiating my wedding, She was able to take into consideration our preferences for our ceremony and vows, she crafted it beautifully. And she was so patient with me after the ceremony running all over the place (we needed to sign the license). Great Job Ashley!!
