Love & Wisdom Inc

us craft the absolute best ceremony. The day of, his calm and joyful presence was so appreciated and of course he did a fantastic job (even when I messed up by saying "I do" too quickly :) ) Thank you so much! I highly recommend this group!

eve it was because of her. She worked with us closely to help create the vision we had for our ceremony, and was super fast at responding to our emails.

hey do! Rodney McClain was our officiant and he was perfect. Great communication and made our ceremony feel very personal. Many people also complimented his impeccable style! Sam Irvin played the guitar before, during, and after our ceremony. His classical style was perfect for the occasion and he had a wide selection of songs to chose from. Everyone loved the ambience Sam brought. Natasha Dale was our photographer, and wow, she is something special. She is very easy to talk to and full of great ideas for pictures. She really captured the light-heartedness of not only our wedding day, but also of our family and friends. Her photos will be treasured memories among all of us. Love & Wisdom also helped me find our ceremony venue, Peaceful Hollow. Our wedding would not have been half of what it was without Ginny and Bill's magic touch, not to mention their beautiful home. Love & Wisdom handled every detail with the upmost care and I am so glad I discovered them!

the ceremony . He was fun to work with and fun to have as the officiant , our guests had good laughs with his cool sense of humor. We loved that he stayed after the ceremony and offered us help and support to organize our group pictures . He went beyond expectations ! I definitely recommend to get the full packages, you will thank the full guidance and will make you feel more comfortable with the final decisions of your ceremony.

wowed and stated they had never been to a more beautiful ceremony. Highly recommended.

appy with. Our friends and family were VERY impressed and Philip was the topic of conversation for quite a bit after the ceremony. “Wow. He was excellent!” If you’re in search of an officiant who speaks eloquently and whose words warm the entire room, I would highly recommend Philip. Your wedding day deserves the best. You won’t regret it!

f the wedding, she brought the perfect mixture of gravitas and humor to the ceremony. I don't know what we would have done without her!

was very beautiful and exactly what we were looking for. Philip made the process extremely easy, providing instructions to obtain our marriage license and submitting it for us after the ceremony, sending us a copy of the ceremony script to review and allowing us to make any changes we wanted, and attending our rehearsal to help it run smoothly. We also loved how he made our guests feel included in the ceremony rather than speaking only to us. 100% recommend.

e spoke with Phillip on the phone leading up to the wedding to discuss our goals and editing of the ceremony. Even though we did not have a rehearsal the night before, the ceremony went off without a hitch.

ing state lines to be married-even during a pandemic! He kept regular communication and made sure all our questions were answered. On the day of the wedding, he was professional, yet personable. His warm presence fit our mood for our event. We are very pleased with our decision to book with Ashville Marriages and strongly recommend them to others!

selected for our ceremony and I wouldn't change a thing. He was quick to be helpful and respond to emails and sent us copies of our ceremony to review and edit to make it perfect for us. We had said we wanted humor and for the ceremony to be limited on the religious aspect and we got everything we asked for. He even saved me in the ceremony when I said " I Do" to early and said "I'm glad you're excited but you're going to have to say it again"! It made everyone laugh including myself. It seemed like we had known him for years and had met for the first time that day. I had several guests come up to me and say how amazing the ceremony was and how well it was put together. Literally a 5 star rating from us and I'm pretty particular so that says a lot. Thank you guys for making this day perfect!

. They were always available for questions and were in constant contact with the ceremony process as well as helpful & inspiring information about the process, marriage and even easy steps on how to change your name. Jay was our officiant and she really took the time to get to know us and what our vision was for the ceremony. We first meet over the phone and her warm & friendly voice made her the easy choice. My husband and I went to visit the area & Jay offered to meet us & we had a blast just talking and drinking coffee. We had the option to edit/revise the suggested ceremony script once Jay had submitted BUT she really hit the nail on the head & on the big day there was laughter and tears of joy. It was sweet, funny & exactly what we wanted even when we had no idea what we were looking for. So my advice is to stop scrolling and reach out to the team at Asheville Marriages I am confident you will find the perfect officiant as well as a new friend!

incredible job! We did a custom ceremony that was so true to who we are that even our guests commented on it. It was perfectly personal and not too sappy. I would definitely recommend Asheville Marriages!

ience we were looking for, and I would not hesitate to recommend them to anyone.

y couple!!

our dreams. He was funny, charming and endearing as he spoke words that rang true in our hearts. He included personal touches and even had the idea for us to draw our heart in the sand, based off of an inside joke that we mentioned to him. He was truly a great addition to our wedding day! Definitely would recommend Chris Highland for your ceremony!

o respond and flexible with the many changes we made to our wedding due to covid. Definitely would recommend to everyone!!

and were able to enjoy every minute of the day. Thank you so much!

made sure everything that was important to me was there, and had hilarious suggestions! He was wonderful! Book him!

ely. He was just as nice in person and made time to meet with both of us before the ceremony. He walked us through the process and also handled turning in our marriage licenses. Overall, fantastic company and people! Highly recommend for your wedding and vow renewals!

create the perfect ceremony! Due to COVID, we actually did not get to meet him until our wedding day. By that time, we had spoken so much that he truly felt like a close friend. Jared did a wonderful job with our ceremony and many of our guests commented on how well-spoken he was! We could not be happier with our experience and highly recommend Charlotte Marriages and Jared to any couple!

d to include in our ceremony, and he was such a huge help in making sure it was perfect. He did an amazing job on our big day, and we could not have been happier.

h our constant changes with covid19 and was able to socially distance marry us! She also took care of the license and mailed it in so we didn’t have to worry about a thing!

ceremony to be, and had wonderful suggestions to help us curate it. She presented our ceremony in a loving and lively way; our guests were engaged and enthralled the whole time. Asheville Marriages is incredibly professional and highly recommended!

recommend Sara 100x over!

as seamless and by the time we made it to the alter we felt like we were standing with a friend Highly recommend!

Phillip was a good friend. We also had a quick change in the ceremony from outside and inside due to rain and Phillip made the crowd at ease and had beautiful, touching words to say about the rain and how it brings good luck. He made our ceremony personal, touching, and loving just for my husband and I. It was exactly how I pictured our ceremony. He was great with communication and we worked on the ceremony together through a google doc to make the perfect script. We even did the premartial counseling with Phillip where he incorporated some touching and personal parts of that into our ceremony. So many guests came up to me at the wedding saying how great of a job good he did and how they felt Phillip had a connection with my husband and I. I highly highly recommend using Asheville marriages!!! They even helped me with the process to change my name afterwards.

really expressed our personalities and values. We also did the Marriage Enrichment Program and absolutely loved it, and felt like it sparked some meaningful conversations. We couldn't recommend Asheville Marriages more!

ing us create a ceremony that was uniquely us. Peggy’s warmth and kindness was contagious. We received numerous compliments on our ceremony and officiant, Peggy. Many asked how many years we had known Peggy for her to create such a perfect wedding ceremony for us. It truly was heartfelt and perfect! We would recommend Asheville Marriages and Peggy to anyone!

mpany

nd had a “meeting” over the phone with Michael. It was such an easy, flowing conversation and I loved how comfortable we automatically felt with him. He (and the team) will incorporate pretty much anything you want as well as make any tweaks. Our vows were a little silly/funny and Michael went right along with it which I loved. I would absolutely recommend them to anyone!

program, where we learned so much, including how to leverage our similarities and differences to build and grow a strong marriage.  When beginning to talk about our vision for our ceremony, we are not an overly religious couple to begin with, but did want to include some of our favorite verses and scriptures throughout the ceremony. Philip customized the perfect balance of serious, yet lighthearted, and spiritual, yet informal script for our ceremony. It truly felt tailored to us.  By the time our wedding day came around, we felt like we had known Philip for more than only a few months, and felt extremely comfortable in him uniting us as a married couple! We are so lucky that we were paired with Philip to bring our big day to life! Philip, you are very talented, so personable, and we are beyond thankful to have worked with you!

was so personable and easy to work with. She helped ease our wedding stress anxiety. Many guests commented that the ceremony was so personal and touching.

ith and extremely professional. I would recommend Asheville marriages to anyone who asked me.

handfasting ceremony as well as being there to provide assuring words of encouragement. If you have the opportunity to use them I would highly advise you to do so.

s he was very great at providing a personal touch. Would recommend to anyone we know getting married in the area!

sed key moments in our vows. Peggy, Hector, and everyone at Asheville Marriages ensured that we had the ceremony we wanted and worked with us every step of the way to make it great. If you are getting married in asheville and need an officiant, do yourselves a favor and go with Asheville Marriages

very flexible as we made some late changes that he handled without issue. The execution and delivery of the ceremony was perfect and we enjoyed his support through the weekend (rehearsal & ceremony). Vaughn is quite professional and personable making the whole process enjoyable. We received many compliments on our ceremony and we consider ourselves lucky that we had Vaughn to help make that happen for us. If you’re getting married in or near Asheville I would highly recommend Vaughn as your wedding officiant.

ceremony was for us! You won't be disappointed with this great group of people to help you make it official!!

pleasure to have him there. He has a sweet charming and inviting smile, the ceremony was nothing but perfect. Thank you!

ve together. I’m so happy that we decided to go with Asheville Marriages for our officiant.

ge license process to just offering an ear if we ever needed anything. Multiple people told us how beautiful the ceremony was. My only wish is that it would've been a little longer! So I would recommend asking how many minutes all of the readings, etc should take if that is important to you. But Asheville Marriages was extremely helpful, supportive, and made us feel like we had known our officiant for years.

e to our relationship. We worked with Sara Judy in particular and LOVED our experience with her! She was warm, professional, funny, and she felt like part of our family on our wedding day - which is truly an incredible thing to feel. We are forever grateful to her and Asheville Marriages!

at he truly cared about our special day and about actually getting to know us along the way! He helped us plan our ceremony from start to finish, and he took the time to make it unique to represent our love and bond with each other. It was absolutely beautiful and he is literally the best officiant we could have ever asked for! If you want to work with a professional, supportive, and organized company that will help you create the most meaningful and memorable ceremony possible...definitely book Asheville Marriages!

so professional, cool and collect. Highly recommend!

hs prior to the wedding and we thought we should have to talk once more to go over what all we were really looking for. Nope, he sent over the first draft and my jaw dropped. It was like he was in our minds of what we wanted. We are believers in God, but we didn't want a super religious wedding. He nailed it all the way down to our favorite bible verse. Thank you so much! The whole process was the easiest out of all our planning and we couldn't thank you enough!

s! We had a phone consultation with Phillip who took our religious preferences, families & personalities into account before pairing us with our officiant, Jenn Fieldman. We initially hesitated to opt for the highest tier package including pre-marital counseling & a personalized ceremony thinking we didn't need those 'extras', but decided to give it a go. We began completing the weekly pre-marital exercises via email & phone with our officiant from afar, and we quickly realized we were so thankful we had chosen this option. While we considered our bond pretty solid going into the counseling, we strengthened that bond through really talking through every aspect of our partnership & expectations of marriage. We also got to know & love our officiant, Jenn, who helped us plan a sweet & personal ceremony that reflected who we are as a couple. I have gotten so many compliments from our friends and family saying that they thought our ceremony was one of the most heartfelt they had attended, and that they loved our officiant asking how we knew her. I have been happy to sing Asheville Marriage's praises in response! Communication with Asheville Marriages throughout was another highlight, including reminders & tips for how to get our marriage license & how to change my name easily. Jenn & Asheville Marriages team, thank you so much for helping us to set a foundation for our marriage built to last, and for giving us a ceremony experience we will treasure forever. If you are considering a DIY ceremony option & think this is an area you should cut cost, I highly recommend you give Asheville Marriages your business instead!

like we had known him our whole lives. Thank you so much Rodney, we loved having you as a part of our special day! Sarah & Matt Young

hat everyone enjoyed and was able to participate in. I would recommend him to anyone that wants to enjoy their perfect day!!!

e you get to experience the perfect ceremony like we did!

. Ever. We hit it off with Phillip immediately and he quickly absorbed our vibe, our preferred ceremony style, likes, dislikes, and everything in between. The way Phillip presented our ceremony made us feel like we had known him for the entire decade we have been together. Our guests felt the same way. They kept asking how long we knew him and it was all because Phillip took so much time, effort, and paid lots of attention to the details of our personal love story which he then translated into the most amazing ceremony. Everything Phillip did and said made us feel like he was around for every year of our lives together and my husband and I had such an amazing emotional connection with his readings. I highly suggest using Asheville Marriages; you will NOT regret it. Phillip was the perfect person to speak about our relationship and we are forever indebted to him for making our special day so amazing. Again, even if you are hesitant to hire an officiant, I promise you, you will not regret choosing Asheville Marriages.

autifully, and was super friendly. Thank you so much for making our ceremony so amazing!

hole time through emails which I loved. I didn't feel like we were just another number to them! Michael was wonderful and such a joy to work with. He wrote a beautiful ceremony and made sure that it was exactly what we wanted. Day of, he showed up with a big smile on his face and did an excellent job. I'm so pleased with him and the whole experience, I just can't thank him enough. He is your guy if you're looking for someone warm, friendly, eloquent, with a big smile!

ndly and flexible and truly wanted our vows to match our desires and personalities. Our ceremony was everything we hoped for – full of love and lots of laughter!!

ng had a surprise rainstorm in the middle, and Philip brilliantly handled it and the kept a smile on the entire time. Many of our guests commented on the phenomenal job he did - and I am so thankful we worked with him.

lip spent time talking to me to get to know us as a couple so they could personalize our wedding. I highly recommend this company!

t AM and Mike DeSerio. He was fantastic and all of our guests thought so as well. His speech is fluent, no interruptions, distractions, and his words are beautiful! He added just the right amount of humor. Thank you AM for making our day so special!

are so happy he is who married us! We incorporated some traditional Greek Orthodox elements into the ceremony that were new to him, but he did so much research and honored the tradition perfectly! It meant the world to us how much he listened and customized our ceremony to who we are as individuals and a couple. He is super laid back, but takes what matters to you so seriously - a perfect balance. Would definitely recommend to anyone!!

g he placed us with Jenn Fieldman who he thought would be perfect for our ceremony.No disappointment there!She was great!Her energy is amazing she was super helpful and organized and I could not be more happy with the ceremony she performed and officiated for us!If you are looking for a great officiant company to work with look no further than this one.They know what they are doing and are just the nicest people to work with!

lifting, slightly humorous, and personalized ceremony and we got just that! We also added in a beer blending ceremony instead of a candle lighting ceremony or sand blending ceremony. Our guests got a huge kick out of that! If you are looking for someone to officiate your wedding, then we highly recommend Asheville Marriages!

sional, and low-stress. It truly was more than we could have hoped for, and I would recommend Asheville Marriages to anyone, without reservation. Thank you for such a memorable day!

er near me on my wedding day!! Highly recommend!

rite our vows, and it turned out great!

rents and grandparents for over 20 years! Keith helped us customize our ceremony, including our vows and did an incredible job. He even helped my husband with vows that he said to my son during the ceremony, which were so beautiful they brought everyone there to tears. He also did a fantastic job working with the whole wedding party during the rehearsal and helped keep us (and by us I mostly mean me 😅) from stressing out. My son came down with mono the day before the wedding and was also the best man, and Keith helped me stay calm and worked out other alternatives to include him if he was unable to stand up there for the entire ceremony. Truly an amazing guy and an amazing experience with Asheville Marriages. You guys are awesome!
