    World Class

    Linda, asked all the right questions and explained the process to me. She wrote a beautiful script and clearly researched some on the things I said. She goes the extra mile for you.

    Wedding Officiant NC's reply:

    What a lovely couple! The groom is a practicing Christian and the bride, a Buddhist. The ceremony was an interweaving of Buddhist principles and biblical verses which captured their ethos and the wonder of finding each other ♥️

    Linda was amazing! Super responsive, respectful and just overall a pleasure to work with.

    Wedding Officiant NC's reply:

    I was so blessed to be part of their special day. November cooperated by providing balmy weather for the outdoor ceremony and both brides looked lovely. There was a wonderful atmosphere of love and support. And laughter when I pronounce them “hitched“!

    Mallory & Jordan McCall

    Linda was so knowledgeable and easy to work with! She provided heartfelt ceremony and would recommend her services!

    Wedding Officiant NC's reply:

    Officiating for Mallory and Jordan was such a joy! Telling their story, referring to the Ketubah and smashing the glass were highlights of this warm and moving ceremony held in an intimate setting. The two dads signed the marriage license just before the pronouncement and the kiss!

    Brilliant Writer

    Linda did such a wonderful job of listening to what makes my wife and I us. She crafted the exact ceremony script we wanted, all from her own intuition and a single conversation with the groom and bride to be. You will be just as impressed as we were.

    Wedding Officiant NC's reply:

    The cosmic dance of the interplay of the natural world was the creative
    theme of this ceremony. From floral emanations to attract bees & hummingbirds to dolphins frolicking in the moonlight, peacocks strutting their stuff, and squirrels performing somersaults, we celebrated the romance of the earth’s ecosystem, acknowledging the very real ecosystem of marriage - two unique individuals linked by love, forging a sustainable bond. Lovely couple!

    Wonderful experience with Linda

    Linda was amazing from start to finish. She contributed to our magical wedding and was extremely thoughtful and collaborative throughout the vow and script writing process. She’s very responsive and has the ability to capture different cultures and beliefs. We were a little worried to pay in full up front, but holy cow she delivered. There ended up being a tropical storm on our day off with emergency flooding alerts. Im so impressed with Linda’s professionalism. She did not even act as if weather was an issue at all.. she was totally present, in the moment and exceeded our expectations by providing an amazing ceremony. Book her now for you wedding!

    Wedding Officiant NC's reply:

    Tropical storm Ophelia blessed this wedding, bringing it indoors (rain on one’s wedding day is good luck as water tightens the knot!). There were quite a few last-minute changes due to the weather but through it all the bride was serene. Her coordinator and family friend remarked that although it is common for the bride to get caught up with wedding details, this bride was focused on getting married ♥️. The rain only served to enhance the love-saturated atmosphere we experienced as Carly and Walt said their ‘I do’s”.

    Lynn and Richard

    Linda lead our ceremony with grace, knowledge, and joy! She was prompt and courteous, she talked with us before the ceremony to ensure that it was exactly what we wanted. She was great! We highly recommend her!

    Wedding Officiant NC's reply:

    Lynn and Richard found each other later in life. They were both holding out for someone wonderful and it was worth the wait! For the ceremony, we incorporated a verse from Tolkien’s “Fellowship of the Ring“, foretelling the appearance of the long-awaited king: “All that is gold does not glitter. Not all those who wander are lost. The old that is strong does not wither. Deep roots are not reached by the frost”. Perfect for celebrating a Song of Solomon 2:10-13 Springtime love!

    Linda nailed our wedding

    Linda did an excellent job taking the time getting to know us, staying on script, incorporating edits, and managing our marriage license getting sent back to the state. Overall, we absolutely recommend her. She’ll do a great job.

    Wedding Officiant NC's reply:

    Nate and Taylor’s twin-soul flame blazed bright on their wedding day. There were just too many “coincidences” regarding their coming together not to believe that this union was meant to be. From the very first, it was like they recognized each other from some eternity past. Even if magical love doesn’t make sense, it makes sense for love to feel magical and their wedding certainly did!

    Best Officiant Ever

    Linda was absolutely amazing! She was helpful and knowledgeable about the marriage process. She was professional and joyful to be around. She took the time to communicate and create beautiful vows that both we and our guests will remember for years to come. She even translated Spanish for my mother in law and aunt so they could enjoy our vows too. So detailed and organized. Truly, thank you so much Linda ❤️ If your looking for your officiant, look no further 😊

    Wedding Officiant NC's reply:

    It was great to spend some
    time with Eddy‘s mom and aunt before the ceremony, interpreting the script into Spanish so they would know what was going on. Nicole‘s parents were wonderful, too! The friends and family present created a wonderfully supportive atmosphere. The venue was super & the flowers incredible. Best of all was the loving glow that shone from the couple’s heart!

    Amazing Officiant

    Linda was an absolutely wonderful officiant and I highly recommend her for any officiant services. I found her on this site and reached out to her, and right away she was very responsive. She took the time to genuinely get to know me and my now husband on a deep level, asking about our lives, personalities, and our preferences for the ceremony script. We bonded with her quickly! She sent us drafts of the script and it was perfect, she even took lyrics from our processional and first dance songs and incorporated them into her speech. We had a wonderful experience with Linda and felt truly connected with her throughout the whole wedding experience, which made it even more special.

    Wedding Officiant NC's reply:

    It was a privilege to get to know Elizabeth and Joseph. I loved that family participated in the personalized ceremony held on their historic log cabin porch in Oxford. The day was weather perfect, picture perfect and heart💕perfect. And their love story truly inspirational.

    The Perfect Ceremony

    Honestly, Linda crafted the most perfect ceremony for us! Our guested marveled at how spot on her words were when describing my husband and I's relationship and how true to us it felt. She was an absolute joy to work with and made the planning of our ceremony so easy. If you plan on getting married in the Triangle area, Linda is a no brainer! We are so appreciative of her and are so glad she was part of our day.

    Wedding Officiant NC's reply:

    What a fun couple! They wanted a relaxed, informal ceremony. So the script revolved around playing “complementary football“! As avid sports enthusiasts, it was so them! They make a great team. Michael Jordon once said, “talent wins games but teamwork wins championships“. Truly a champion match!

    Thank you!

    Linda was kind and great to work with! She thoughtfully crafted a beautiful ceremony that was perfect for our small, bilingual wedding. She was very responsive and willing to share her expertise, which was super helpful for our planning. We're grateful that she was able to be a part of our special day.

    Wedding Officiant NC's reply:

    This was a lovely couple to work with. Telling their love story made us all smile. The groom was enamored with the bride before they had even formally met. He had fallen in love with her voice when he heard her sing at an event. Once they were introduced, he didn’t waste any time! The wedding itself was intimate and sophisticated, reflective of their international background. A complete pleasure to officiate!

    Book Her !!!

    Linda crafted a beautiful wedding ceremony script for us that captured the elements we wanted to highlight. She was an absolute dream to work with. Our wedding was during Hurricane Ian - Linda stayed an extra hour due to unexpected delays that had occured. She was flexible and accommodating and provide a sense of ease and comfort.

    We are so grateful to have had her as part of our special day and to be part of our wedding story!

    Wedding Officiant NC's reply:

    Weddings can be a challenge during hurricane season! Thanks to Hurricane Ian passing through, the rain was intermittently making its presence known. The seats placed outside were wiped several times awaiting the final decision whether to have the wedding inside or out. A live wire was down on the highway holding up the shuttle bus bringing half of the guests (thank goodness for Uber!). By the time the last guest arrived, the rain had finally stopped, the electricity came back on, and the sun came out! Everyone had stayed in a good mood, enjoying picture taking and wine during the wait. Then, each guest was given a dry towel for the finishing touches to their seats as they witnessed Tom and Maxine make humorous and poignant vows to each other. Following the recessional, just as the last guest walked back into the barn, the rain started again. This is what makes memories! The bride and groom stayed calm. Amanda, the coordinator, along with the DJ, the flutist, and the Barn of Chapel Hill staff just rolled with it all. I couldn’t have been more impressed!

    Highly Recommend

    We loved working with Linda! She was very kind and flexible from the beginning and eased the stress of wedding planning. She wrote a beautiful ceremony for us that told our story without knowing us previously. Very reasonable and exceeded our expectations!

    Wedding Officiant NC's reply:

    It was a happy day when Uncle Marvin invited Ben to their Thanksgiving table three years ago and Aunt Kathy secretly took a pic of Ben to text Lauren! That’s how their story began. Lauren and Ben told me that finding each other was like coming home. Their wedding ceremony was reflective of their love. On their wedding day, the sun was shining and soft breezes caressed them as they said their vows in the gardens of Burke Manor.

    Beautiful Service

    Linda did a beautiful job. She was able to speak in English and Spanish for us which was a beautiful touch. Everything was lovely. She was super organized and on point with everything. Would definitely recommend her services to anyone looking to get married.

    Wedding Officiant NC's reply:

    What a lovely, intimate wedding. Despite the ominous weather forecast, our prayers kept the storm away until the ceremony celebrating their romance was complete! And what a love story: from knowing each other in middle school, to their reunion years later, to the proposal by the fountain at the Paseo de la Princesa, to sealing their vows in the picturesque garden in Fearrington Village …. perfection!

    Great experience

    Linda made our wedding so special! She is well organized, professional, and flexible. She helped create a beautiful ceremony in a way that we’ve been dreaming about. So glad that we had Linda as our officiant and absolutely recommend her!

    Wedding Officiant NC's reply:

    An exquisite wedding in the setting of the JC Ralston Arboretum. Appropriately, we had a tree planting at the end of the ceremony. This couple has a poignant love story involving separations and reunions across the years and across continents. What a joy to celebrate with them their happy ending!

    Great experience!!

    Linda was great to work with! We didn't know much about weddings/ceremonies and she was really organized and helped make the process really easy for us. She did a great job and would highly recommend!

    Wedding Officiant NC's reply:

    What a gorgeous venue, out in the country in Oxford. Highly recommend! It was drizzling on and off all day but the bride and groom and their guests were comfortable under the large tent set up like a living room. At exactly the right moment, the clouds parted and we were able to have the ceremony outside under a blue North Carolina sky. A very eclectic script included
    I Corinthians 13 and why marriage is like owning a dog. Sweet time!

    We love Rev. Linda!!

    Rev. Linda was a dream to work with! She made our wedding ceremony a breeze to plan and she went above and beyond with communication and her availability to us.

    Our ceremony started late and we had a last minute addition to our ceremony but she was totally flexible and rolled with it.

    We cannot thank her enough for making our wedding day so special. Highly recommend her!

    Wedding Officiant NC's reply:

    Levi proposed to Iris on a cabin porch in the woods under 30 strands of 800 twinkling lights! So they chose the theme of Light for their wedding ceremony. The ceremony was beautiful and ended with the traditional Filipino veil and cord. It couldn’t have been more perfect!

    Wedding Officiant NC's reply:

    This wedding was absolutely magical with every detail perfect! It was fun to include “I am my beloved’s and my beloved is mine“ in Hebrew (from the Song of Solomon) in the ceremony. And the Cookery was a great venue!

    Covid elopment

    We began looking into officiants for our outdoor elopement due to our wedding being postponed because of COVID. We were going to have a friend marry us but Linda made it way better than I expected! She tailored our ceremony to reflect us and our humor and made it last longer without using religious influence like we requested. We planned everything over FaceTime and email and it was very easy! I would absolutely recommend Linda for the future.

    Wedding Officiant NC's reply:

    Erika and Max married at sunset in a field of sunflowers. Guests sat on blankets dotting the field. Next year, they will have their large, formal affair. But it won’t be any more beautiful than this outdoor exchange of their hearts as the sun was going down.

    Linda is a warm and wonderful soul!

    Linda is an amazing officiant and person. We loved that she is non-denominational as that is what we wanted, but also has years of experience in all types of ceremonies. She made us feel immediately relaxed and well-cared for and made the journey a breeze. She was extremely responsive and open to a lot of back and forth as we went through the planning process! We were so impressed with the ceremony script she put together for us and felt like she'd known us and our story for years. Linda is a calming presence but also brings humor and lightness to any situation, which was very appreciated amidst the last minute jitters! She's so knowledgeable about the process and helped us every step of the way and we cannot thank her enough for her support and services!

    Wedding Officiant NC's reply:

    So great getting to know Valerie and Zack! The wedding took place on a beautiful (and windy) October afternoon, the first weekend this month without the heat and humidity. Everything was refreshing - the weather, their story, and their personal vows. Lovely couple, lovely day ♥️

    Such a professional!

    Linda has been such a joy to work with! She personalized our ceremony by meeting with us last year and asking questions about who we were as a couple, & the result from last weekend's wedding was absolutely beautiful. My husband and I were also thrilled that she was able to reschedule after the pandemic hit us earlier this spring. We highly recommend using her as an officiant! Thank you so much, Linda!

    I repeated their own descriptive feelings about each other during the ring ceremony: “May your wedding ring ever remind you that you have a life companion who is both buddy and lover, a welcome cushion in the midst of life‘s harsher realities, a treasured companion to walk alongside you, a partner in crime, an ally who always has your back”. This was truly a friendship caught on fire.

    Appreciative of the five star review but this date in my 2021 wedding calendar has not been reserved. Please contact me directly if you are interested in my services. Until then, this date is still open for other inquiries.
