Personal Ceremonies NC

impressed with how thorough and professional he was in ensuring that their service was the right fit for us. Rev. Doug was our officiant, and he exceeded our expectations exponentially. Through their ceremony planning process, which included a personal questionnaire and a planning meeting, Rev. Doug created a beautiful ceremony that was thoughtful, personal, intentional, and meaningful to us and our family and friends. Not only was the ceremony beautifully written, but it was performed flawlessly on our wedding day. We received the most compliments on our ceremony and Rev. Doug than anything else on our wedding day, he was that amazing! Over two weeks later, I am still receiving compliments on how fantastic he was. My husband and I were very nervous trying to find an officiant, as it is such an important role on your wedding day, and we are so thankful to have received a recommendation to reach out to Personal Ceremonies and Rev. Doug. I cannot recommend them enough and truly wish I could give them more than a 5-star review because they absolutely deserve it. Thank you again Rev. Doug and Rev. Kevin!!

e, which we really appreciated throughout the planning process. We were also planning our wedding from Oklahoma and knew nothing about North Carolina’s stricter marriage requirements, so having that level of expertise made a huge difference and took a lot of stress off our plate. Due to health reasons, Doug stepped in—and everything still went just as smoothly. We truly felt taken care of every step of the way. We received so many compliments on how beautiful and meaningful our ceremony was, which says a lot about their work. Overall, we felt we were in great hands and are really glad we chose Personal Ceremonies for our wedding.

awless. All of our guests shared how it seemed like we’ve known Doug for years; it was a true testament to his commitment and intention in creating our ceremony and telling our story. He made us feel at ease, and tailored the ceremony to us, weaving in humor, emotion, and tradition where requested. We highly recommend booking Personal Ceremonies for your wedding - they are a phenomenal company and group of professionals. 

anted to understand our story so he could make the ceremony truly ours. He included our parents in meaningful ways by having them warm the rings and say a silent prayer, which added so much heart to the moment. Even though we only met over video, Doug made us feel like we were old friends, and you could tell he was truly happy for us. Our guests couldn't stop talking about how wonderful he was and how perfectly he captured what we wanted. We felt completely at ease on our wedding day knowing Doug had everything handled, and we'd recommend him in a heartbeat.

their services. I reached out to Kevin and he was able to provide me with not one, but TWO officiants to choose from for our ceremony. We met with Rev. Becky Sansbury and knew she was the perfect officiant for our wedding. Both She and Kevin met with us or communicated with us on several occasions. Becky made sure to have enough zoom meetings to make sure our ceremony was exactly like we wanted it. I couldn't wait to hear her rendition of our love story and her words of wisdom to us as we move forward as a married couple.... When the day finally came, I couldn't have been more pleased. She captured our relationship perfectly and her words beautifully described each of us. I can't tell you enough just how thankful we are to Kevin & Becky for helping us when we were so worried our wedding would be ruined with no officiant for our ceremony. I recommend reaching out to Kevin and his team. They genuinely care, as was made obvious by our many in-depth conversations. Becky guided our entire ceremony and it went very smooth. It isn't always easy to find someone who is willing to perform a same sex wedding and the care and compassion they showed was above and beyond. LOVE YOU BECKY & KEVIN!!!

mmodating throughout the planning process, always listening to what we wanted and helping us shape a ceremony that felt personal and meaningful. The speech he gave during our ceremony was absolutely beautiful — full of thoughtful details, funny stories, and heartfelt moments that captured our relationship perfectly. It genuinely felt like someone who knew us well was standing up there with us. We couldn’t have asked for a better person to marry us. Stephen brought warmth, joy, and authenticity to our day, and we are so grateful for him. Highly, highly recommend!

e time to get to know us and our preferences and clearly listened to us. It could not have gone better. It was perfectly tailored to us and was so funny and heartfelt. We got nothing but compliments from friends and family. We even had a married couple tell us they’d get married again just to have Steve officiate! He was THAT good! Highly recommend.

ferent options and worked with us so well that everyone at the wedding thought that we had known each other prior and that’s why we asked him. He made time to meet with us even when it wasn’t convenient for him and it seemed like he had known us forever whenever he was off officiating our wedding. 

r family's different faith traditions. Also made the rehearsal, wedding license, and other things along the way super easy. Highly recommend Personal Weddings to anyone looking for an officiant!

r son in law to do a reading. In the prayers our daughter, son in law and grandson were included. I highly recommend Nikki, she will most definitely make it the ceremony of your dreams

ecounting of our story and helped us make it even more memorable by including bits for our daughter. The Personal Weddings of NC team is nothing but professional and they handled submitting our wedding license on our behalf - one less thing to do! I highly recommend them and specifically Becky for her kind and caring demeanor.

with communicating what they needed from us and what we should expect. We loved how inclusive we got to be in terms of picking the different sections to our ceremony and even our vows as we didn’t write our own. Loved the questionnaire for us to give insight into our love story for Becky to then compile together. Highly recommend!

r ceremony. He had the genius to match us with the incomparable Becky Sansbury. She took the opportunity and effort to understand us, and our personal journey, and created a ceremony that was unique and special to us. She made our ceremony touching and inspiring and so very personal to who we are as a couple. She helped us say what we wanted to say. And as proof of her towering ability, there was not a dry eye, so moved was everyone by her retelling of our love story. Make sure to ask her about the difference between “I Do” and “I Will”! Forever we will be honored that we were married by Becky Sansbury.

Kevin spoke about. Everyone said it seemed like he had known us for YEARS, and we would say the same. Kevin was absolutely wonderful to work with, and I would highly recommend him to anyone who’s planning a wedding!!!!

erfect person to officiate our wedding. He guided us through the entire process of getting married, sent us several script options, and gave us advice we will hold close to our hearts forever. He also took care of sending off our marriage license for us. We highly recommend Personal Ceremonies and Kevin!

rofessional and guides you seamlessly through the process, including details like obtaining a marriage license. Would highly recommend his services!

nd he took the time to understand our story. He struck the perfect balance between heartfelt and humorous, making us and our guests laugh, tear up, and feel so connected to the moment. It felt like he had known us for years, and the way he spoke about our love story was incredibly thoughtful and personal. We’re also so thankful for Kevin, who helped make the process seamless and supported us along the way. His involvement and care meant so much and played a big part in helping everything come together so beautifully. So many of our guests told us how much they loved the ceremony, and that’s all thanks to Steve. We couldn’t have asked for a better person to lead such an important part of our day.

story, our loved ones, and our promises to each other in such a unique way. We have received endless compliments about the ceremony since the wedding! The way they get to know their couples really works and allows for a truly personalized wedding ceremony. Doug made us feel comfortable with the process every step of the way with his organization and consistent communication. We could not have been happier with the experience!

s to Doug! He made us feel comfortable and told our story so well!

uch a fabulous reading in front of our family & guests. He touched our hearts, he really did. We had several people come up to us after the ceremony singing his praises & telling us it was the best officiant they’d ever heard. We whole heartedly agree!! He took the time to listen to us, read our comments, we had several meetings to get things perfect and he blew it out of the water! Doug seemed like an uncle, a sweet, cool uncle that we’d known forever. 12 out of 10!!

smoothly. Both Doug and Kevin were timely in all responses and made us feel comfortable in planning our big day. I am not exaggerating when I say that the most compliments I have received about our wedding have been about Doug and the ceremony. People said it was one of the best they have ever been to and that is was personal and engaging. We loved being able to have input into the ceremony and the questionnaire we filled out ahead of time really allowed Doug to create a really special ceremony based on our responses. We incorporated some "audience participation" and Doug was 100% on board - it went amazingly on the day of! I am truly so so thankful that we chose Personal Weddings NC and would recommend them (and Doug specifically) without hesitation to anyone planning their wedding.

this is ridiculous to say, but until we talked with Kevin I didn’t understand how special and meaningful the actual ceremony could be for our wedding day. Once we talked with Kevin we immediately realized the thoughtfulness, humor, joy, and connection he would bring to our day. It was such a perfect experience, and the joy and love was apparent on our faces and the faces of our guests that day. It was perfect. Thank you!

l! I highly recommend Kevin and you will not be disappointed!

had any questions. A couple weeks before our wedding, Andrea was needed to step in to perform our ceremony. So many people came up to us afterwards and still, 3 weeks later, saying how much they loved the ceremony and how personal it was. We were very happy start to finish with Personal Weddings NC and would highly recommend them for your wedding.

pite only knowing Kevin for a short time, he made our ceremony feel deeply personal and tailored specifically to us. Thanks to his exceptional work, there wasn't a dry eye in the crowd. We couldn't have asked for a more perfect ceremony.

we wanted him to marry us and he was even willing to send us questions and prompts before signing our contract (technical issues :P). Throughout the process of learning about us, Kevin felt genuinely interested in our story and ceremony ideas. One of my favorite parts about this process was the examples of readings, blessings, and outlines that Kevin brought to the table. He helped me find segments of our ceremony that are so special to me now that I would not have considered otherwise. On the actual wedding week, Kevin rehearsed with me and my husband early to accommodate a Friday wedding and coordinated with our wedding planner prior to our next rehearsal so no one missed a beat. On the day of, many guests said our ceremony was the best they had ever heard and they walked away learning so much about our love story because of the way it was presented. Thank you all!

ur ceremony and we cannot recommend them enough! Every detail was thought through and the entire ceremony was very unique to us. I never had to worry or stress about the ceremony because I knew it was taken care of! Thank you Kevin and Andrea!

de sure our ceremony ran smoothly - and we are so happy we chose him as our officiant!

e like, learning about us as a couple, and respecting the different family dynamics we needed to be mindful of. He really made our ceremony so unique to us and personal…it had all of our guests crying! Thank you Kevin! We are so lucky you were able to marry us and make this day really feel like ours!

ruly came through. We never felt judged for wanting to include or exclude anything from our ceremony. They were both very open-minded and forward-thinking. Andrea was nothing short of fantastic. Her presence was incredibly calm, clear and composed. Following our rehearsal everyone felt confident going into the ceremony, and following the ceremony everyone commented on how unique and personal it was. It was honor to have Andrea officiate.

He taught me so much about the process and made it easy for us to make the ceremony personal to us. Multiple guests told us that it was the best ceremony they had ever been a part of!

elped with anything we needed. We would highly recommend Kevin to anyone.

work with- very friendly and caring, and every step of the way was so customizable. You can tell that he genuinely wants to help you and your partner find a way to celebrate your love that feels true to you! And of course we got compliments from our friends and family all night on how genuine and sweet the ceremony was. 10/10, A+, would absolutely recommend! Kevin made the day one to remember!

k. Kevin was able to create a personalized telling of our love story. We received compliments throughout the night about what a genuine ceremony we had, and we credit much of that to Kevin. Thank you for your patience, flexibility, and a beautiful finished product!

o sweep the water out! Despite being delayed by an hour and not having planned for the intensity of the rain that we experienced, Kevin provided a wonderful service with a personal story that he created and adapted from our talks with him as well as information that we provided him through questions he asked about our relationship. Everyone loved it and even though our first time meeting him in person was the day before at the rehearsal, it seemed like he had known us for the past several years. Kevin was great throughout the entire experience and I would recommend him to anyone!

Weddings were the EASIEST to work with, so professional and made my life as the bride so much easier. They added the most special touch of including mine and my husband’s personal words to the ceremony and it was just perfect. Thank you Kevin and Billy!

with Kevin as we made our way through our wedding year. He took the time to get to know us as a couple so he could really capture our story in the ceremony. We received SO many compliments from wedding guests on his execution and most thought he was a close friend in the way he spoke and delivered (he is now, wink wink). Kevin, thank you so much for making our day a dream.

r someone to help make your day amazing look no further.

that day. He met with us multiple times throughout the planning process and gave us detailed instructions for processes like obtaining our marriage license so we never felt lost or confused. He cared so deeply about getting to know us and building a ceremony with just enough humor, ritual/religion, and storytelling to make it feel like us. It was one of my favorite parts of the day, I seriously can’t recommend Kevin enough!!

emony, he was very thoughtful and polite about being one of two officiants and seamlessly blended our family's wants and desires into a beautiful ceremony script. He was also helpful in helping us figure out how to get our legal marriage license, etc especially since we were coming from out of state. He melded the Hindu and Catholic traditions into one and we really appreciated how kind and thoughtful he was throughout the process. Many of our guests told us afterwards it was one of the most beautiful ceremonies they've ever attended, which I have to agree!

ng the perfect ceremony for us. We are so grateful to have met Kevin!

exactly what we were looking for. After our first meeting with Kevin, we both knew he was a perfect fit! We knew we wanted to include God and prayer into our ceremony without it being a full traditional religious ceremony that might not feel personal. Kevin made it soo easy to make our ceremony exactly what we wanted. He gave us lots of options for each part of the ceremony that we could choose from or alter to be what we wanted. Our ceremony felt so personal to us and our story with some laughs and tears, but still honored the importance and commitment of marriage. We got so many comments from our guests on how wonderful Kevin was and we couldn’t agree more!

eel so comfortable and cared for on a day that was special. I’ve never been one for sentimental events, but everything from what was said, to demeanor was lovely and put me at ease. He even was very quick to respond when I had a hiccup with contacting the photographer, and I appreciated so much how he went truly above and beyond. I highly recommend!
