Best Officiant in OBX!

If you are looking for an officiant for your OBX wedding, look no further. Barbara is absolutely amazing to work with throughout the process. She took the time to get to know us as people by meeting with us as the wedding got close. Then she met with us again in the days before the wedding to walk us through everything and make sure it was everything we wanted. She is just a truly wonderful person and wrote us a beautiful ceremony that shared our love story with all our guests. We got so many compliments on her ceremony. She is also a total pro about making sure all of our documents were signed and turned in to the correct offices. We couldn't imagine our day without her!!

Professional & Genuine

Barbara is one of the most professional and genuine individuals I have ever met. Barbara has a bubbly and real personality so it’s impossible not to like her! She was very thoughtful and open when writing our ceremony script which made the process very easy and fun. She took the time to get to know us which lead to a very personalize script. During the ceremony she spoke with pose and love. Everyone loved her speech. Barbara is efficient and was a true gift to our ceremony. I highly recommend having her officiant your wedding as she is a genuinely kind person.

2023 OBX oceanfront wedding

I couldn't have asked for a better person to join my husband and I in marriage! Joshua and I have been together since the 7th grade and Barbara perfectly captured our love story over just a few emails. We are very simple people and wanted more of an elopement small wedding and Barbara went above and beyond to make our wedding the wedding every little girl dreams of.
I can't thank her enough for her kindness, her input and knowledge on this entire process. Anyone who is looking for an officiant look no further than Barbara! Joshua and I are so blessed to have had her marry us. Our families from out of state watched through a live stream and felt her warmth, her love, her energy, and purity through the phone in immense waves like the ocean. Imagine the waves, holding the love of your life's hands, the energy of love between the two, and add Barbara's sincerity. I will forever dream about our perfect day and I will always been incredibly thankful for Barbara!

Barbara is such a gem. She is so genuine and nurturing, makes your ceremony feel like "home." Barb will put a smile on your face as soon as you see her and will continue to think of you for many years to come!

Rev. Jay Bowman Rev. Jay Bowman Wedding Officiants

There are very few officiants on the Outer Banks that I feel comfortable recommending. Partially because I'm not really there when they perform the ceremony. But everything I've heard about how Babs makes a ceremony special for couples has been excellent. And besides that, I know her personally to be a very kind and genuine person.

Rev. Dawn Marsh Gallogly Rev. Dawn Marsh Gallogly Wedding Officiants

Barbara is my mentor and I have learned so much from her. Watching her work with couples is inspiring. She truly brings a couple's true heart into each and every ceremony. Her careful attention to detail is evident in each ceremony.
