    Wonderful!

    Carla was wonderful! She made our day so special! We really enjoyed getting to know her and she took the time to get to know us. I would highly recommend her. Thank you Carla for making our day so special!

    Perfect and Sweet Officiant

    We loved working with Carla! She was the perfect person to marry us! We planned our destination wedding on Saint Simons Island while we were living in San Diego. I’m so happy that I found Carla to perform our ceremony in front of our 150 guests of family and friends at the King and Prince! She personalized our ceremony and truly expressed our essence as a couple! We met a few months before the wedding and that’s when I found out that she has the sweetest personality! She wanted to make sure that I had the wedding ceremony I was envisioning! She has a lot of experience officiating weddings and you can not go wrong booking her!

    St. Simons Elopements's reply:

    I absolutely loved my time with both of you. Your wedding was one I will never forget. “Perfect Symphony” sung by your brother was even more beautiful than I had imagined. ❤️. All weddings are different and special in their own way. I strive to make each ceremony just right for the couple.

    We did a sunset beach handfasting ceremony with Carla and we absolutely loved her! To begin, Carla helped us create an individualized package for our wants and needs to make sure we were absolutely happy with what we spent and what we received in return. Then, in planning, Carla answered every question we had and made sure everyone was on the same page at every available checkpoint. In addition, we provided Carla with an incomplete idea to what we wanted to include in our ceremony and asked Carla to flesh it out for us, which she did in such an incredible way! She really emphasized our original ideas with her additions and made sure everything we wanted was included in our ceremony. On our wedding day, when the inevitable snags came up, Carla would instantly contact me to make sure I was up to date with the latest progress on our wedding day and reassure me when our mistakes began to affect our wedding plans. She was such a strong support on our wedding day; we would recommend her in an instant to anyone who is looking for a ceremony officiant/planner who goes above and beyond expectations!

    Ms. Carla is an -awesome- person and the perfect choice for a wedding officiant and planner. This woman is five stars +!
    We live in Southern California and with her help we planned a small wedding in Savanna, Georgia. Everything from: renting the square where we said our vows, to arranging for transportation for all of the guests and even taking care of submitting our wedding license after we said our vows.
    Our wedding ceremony was perfect. Even though we were not able to meet Ms. Carla till the day of our ceremony through our phone conversations and e-mails she got to know us as a couple, took our personalities and beliefs into account and tailored a service to fit the two of us.
    What can we say other than a sincere “thank you” to an excellent wedding officiant and planner.

    There are too many wonderful things to say about Carla! Upon meeting her we knew she was going to be the perfect officiant for our wedding. She took great care to get to know both us well in advance of our wedding - she asked about how we met, what we loved most about one another, and what our future goals were. Carla was eager to make the ceremony fit our families religious backgrounds and personal wishes. Our ceremony was better than I could have ever dreamed of thanks to Carla's attention to detail and genuine desire to make this moment in our lives unforgettable. We highly recommend her and will never forget her.

    I was so stressed and stuck trying to plan a wedding on driftwood beach from out of town when I contacted Carla. I had been researching elopements and her name kept coming up positively in review after review so I took a chance. Definitely the right choice! Carla was extremely responsive and professional and it is clear that she truly cares about what she is doing. She connected us with an awesome florist and photographer and customized the ceremony exactly like we wanted. I would highly recommend anyone looking for a wedding planner and/or officiant to work with her! The pricing is very reasonable for all you get and she will make sure your day is very special.

    So many times I've been to a wedding, looking forward to the reception AFTER the ceremony... With Carla, you will look forward to the ceremony as much, if not more than, the reception! She made my wedding ceremony personal! I had so many people tell me afterwards how wonderful my ceremony was and I give her credit for that. I highly recommend her if you are looking for an officiant for your wedding! I can't say enough good things about her!

    Carla Pryor with St. Simons Elopment is the best! Don't let the name fool you she can plan a wedding for 150 or the bride and groom and anywhere in between. So professional and sweet. Very detailed oriented. This was a destination wedding and she provided us with vendors to choose from and guided us through every step. Carla is a blessing sent from above. You can not go wrong with St. Simons Elopements. I think I will have another daughter just so I can have her plan another wedding. She is awesome

    Amazing, amazing, amazing! I didn't have to do a thing and our wedding was unbelievable. If we had an unlimited budget and could afford the best money can buy, we wouldn't have changed a thing...I think that is saying something! Thank you Carla for the best day of our lives...it was beyond our expectations and dreams!

    Carla Pryor officated our wedding as a part of an elopment package offered by Villas By The Sea on Jekyll Island. My wife and I were very impressed by Rev. Pryor's professionalism and her responsiveness to our requests and concerns. The ceremony she chose was perfect, and she agreed to meet us at a location we chose so that we had the perfect setting for private wedding.

    If you are planning a wedding in the Jekyll Island, St. Simons Island, or Brunswick area, then you should contact Rev. Pryor. You'll be happy you did.

    Carla was very professional and accommodating when it came to planning our wedding. Her ideas and suggestions helped make it a one of a kind event. Planning a destination wedding four hours from home with 60 people attending was not a small task for me, but she made it seem so simple. Also the cost was so very reasonable. Everything was amazing. She performed our ceremony and I dare say there was a dry eye when all was complete. I would recommend her to anyone for their wedding or elopement. Jeana Rutledge

    Carla and Emie were great to work with. Carla was great responding to all of my questions and very quick!! Emie performed our ceremony, was there for our rehearsal and did a fantastic job. This was just a fantastic team and I really wish that I would have got Carla to do my planning as well....it would have been well worth it, especially the last few weeks leading up to our wedding! She was just a great help throughout it all. Emie was just the sweetest person ever. I felt like I had known her forever just after talking to her for a few minutes. using Carla and Emie was a great choice! Everyone was very pleased!

    Carla Pryor was the ultimate wedding planner. We had planned the wedding for over a year! She is not just for elopements! My daughter and I called her for suggestions, ideas, and just about everything else. She was a true professional and was there for us every step of the way!

    Carla at St. Simons Island Elopements is such a nice and sweet lady! She listened to everything we had to say and did anything she could to help. I had millions of questions and she answered each and every one. She planned everything and made the day so much easier. I am so glad I chose her to help me with these things.
