Personal Weddings of North Carolina

We loved Kevin & Doug!! Doug preformed our ceremony and I cannot think of anyone who can have done better! We were so touched by his words and taking our story and making it into such 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!!

We reached out to Personal Weddings NC based on other reviews and we are so glad that we did! Doug was our officiant but Kevin was there all along the way to ensure everything went 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.

Kevin was a dream to work with. I never knew the ceremony could be so intimate and lovely. He perfectly shared our story and captured the joy we wanted for our special day. I know 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!

Kevin was a delight to work with! He guided us throughout the process and was very thorough in his communication. The ceremony was truly touching, conveying our love story so well! I highly recommend Kevin and you will not be disappointed!

From our first call with Kevin, we knew that he would be the best choice for us for our officiant. He was friendly, thorough, and was super helpful and quick to respond to us if we 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.

Kevin was the perfect officiant for our wedding! From the very beginning, he was incredibly helpful in preparing us and making sure we had everything we needed for our big day. Despite 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 couldn't recommend Kevin at Personal Weddings NC enough. Kevin took care of me and my husband when we were in a bind 2 weeks before our wedding. After our first meeting, we knew 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!

Of all the choices you have to make for your wedding, choosing Personal Weddings of NC should be the easiest. We started off working with Kevin and ended up having Andrea perform our 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!

Kevin was a dream to work with. He made sure everything was in order with plenty of time - and really encouraged and helped us craft vows that truly reflected us as a couple. He made sure our ceremony ran smoothly - and we are so happy we chose him as our officiant!

We got so many compliments from our wedding guests about how sweet and special our wedding ceremony was! Kevin did such a great job of listening to what we wanted our ceremony to be 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!

Kevin and Andrea were incredibly responsive, helpful, proactive and professional. They completely customized our ceremony. The thought and effort that went into it on wedding day truly 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.

Kevin is extremely easy to work with and will accomplish what you and your partner want to experience during your wedding ceremony. I am so glad that we chose him to conduct ours. 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!

Kevin was awesome! He made everything easy and took the pressure off of the moment. His personality and experience helped make our wedding special. Kevin is very professional and helped with anything we needed. We would highly recommend Kevin to anyone.

Kevin did an incredible job with our ceremony! At first we weren't sure if we even wanted a ceremony, but after seeing him do a friend's wedding, we were sold. Kevin was so easy to 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!

Kevin was a fantastic officiant and we felt he really went above and beyond! He meets with you as a couple, gets to know you, and this is really reflected in the quality of his work. 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!

Kevin was wonderful to have at our wedding and helped to keep everyone sane as it monsooned and rained out the entire venue, including the indoor barn necessitating staff to have to 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!

Kevin and Billy truly helped us create the most perfect ceremony we imagined. We had multiple guests share with us how personal and special our ceremony was. The people at Personal 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!

If you are looking to stun your guests with the most amazing ceremony, look no further! Our experience with Kevin was so enjoyable and seamless. We really enjoyed our conversations 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.

We were concerned about finding an officiant who would make our wedding structured but personal. Kevin provided guidance and delivered what we wanted and more. If you're looking for someone to help make your day amazing look no further.

Kevin was the greatest officiant we could’ve asked for! His ceremony was so personal, we had several guests ask if he was our own pastor when we had never met him in person before 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!!

Kevin was phenomenal from the very beginning of our wedding process - easy to talk to and very understanding of our goals for the ceremony. Since we were having a multicultural ceremony, 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!

Kevin was so wonderful to work with, he truly made our wedding ceremony so special and personable. He made the process so easy and walked us through every step of the way to creating the perfect ceremony for us. We are so grateful to have met Kevin!

Kevin was great! Super nice, super professional and gave us the ceremony of our dreams!! We are so thankful to choose Kevin to marry us!

We are so happy we chose Kevin as our officiant for our wedding! We had met with a few other officiants and they all seemed like they would do a good job but just didn’t feel like 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!

My husband and I participated in the Matthews House Pride event; and Kevin and everyone involved made the experience so much better than I could have imagined. Kevin made us both feel 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!

Kevin hosted a pride wedding day in June of 2023 with a collection of other vendors. My wife and I saw the Instagram post advertising the event one week before and jumped on board and I am so thrilled we did! The moment was magical, Kevin and his team made everything so simple and streamlined from start to finish. I really felt like we didn't have to worry about anything but showing up. We did not know the vows before we arrived, but they were so heartfelt, and there was not a dry eye in sight! Kevin and his wife were so kind, and committed to making the day special. I cannot thank them and the other vendors enough for their time and attention. We really felt the love!

Kevin was incredible! He is so kind, patient, knowledgeable, and sincere. He made the entire process simple and wrote the perfect ceremony for us because he put in the time to get to know us. Not only was his delivery smooth and professionally done, but he also had genuine emotion for us and for our story. I would recommend Kevin without hesitation to anyone. Your wedding ceremony may be a small portion of your day, but it sets the tone for the entire thing. You can't go wrong choosing Kevin.

Kevin officiated for a friend's wedding and they couldn't say enough nice things about him. I reached out with very little notice, and Kevin responded immediately. At first, he thought he may be booked but he offered to assist with back up if that was the case. Thankfully, Kevin was able to perform our ceremony and it was such an easy, worry-free experience working with him. I loved how much we were able to accomplish virtually including the survey he had us take to learn more about us. Then we met by Zoom which was so convenient given how busy we are. It was a nice, quick meeting and he was very attentive to our needs and wants for the ceremony. He also gave us a lot to think about in regard to how traditional or progressive we wanted the ceremony providing ideas on how to accomplish one or both. He was easy to talk to, we enjoyed our conversation with him, and were excited for the big day. We wanted our ceremony to be short and sweet but still meaningful and personal to us as a couple and the journey we've been on to this point. He did a phenomenal job doing just that. He was able to weave in pieces of our story and how we met, and even made a point to include my step daughters in the ceremony. It was simple and beautiful at the same time, and I wouldn't have had it any other way. Kevin nailed it, and we are very grateful that he was able to join us for our special day. We would highly recommend Kevin.

Kevin was amazing to work with. He was so responsive and professional. Kevin made the couple feel at ease. From a Wedding Planner prospective - he had great communication with the couple and with us, he made sure all details were covered. We hope to work with him again in the future.

Kevin was the last vendor that we chose for our wedding, and I'm so glad we waited until we found him-- he truly pulled all of our hard work together and created the most perfect ceremony we could have ever asked for. He is super personable, so meeting beforehand, rehearsal, his attendance at our welcome party, and the ceremony were all fabulous as he did a great job conversing and getting to know us and our families. The ceremony was the perfect balance of traditional and personal, and we truly couldn't have imagined anything better.

Working with Kevin to officiate our wedding was one of the best decisions we made!! Instantly when we met with Kevin he made us feel so comfortable and was so knowledgeable about the process. He answered all of our questions with ease and helped us throughout so much more than just the ceremony. He worked with our planner and DJ, came to our rehearsal, and wrote the most beautiful ceremony for us. If you are looking for an officiant look no further. Kevin is hands down the best!! I couldn’t reccomend him more!!

Kevin did an amazing job officiating our wedding! From the planning process to the ceremony itself he was a pleasure to work with, you can really tell he has been doing this for years and has every detail covered. Despite only meeting Kevin 8 months before our wedding he personalized our ceremony and told our story like he knew us for years. It was truly an amazing experience. Thanks again, Kevin!

I've worked with Kevin for many years in the wedding industry and his ceremonies are always seamless. He is very patient and walks the couple and wedding party through everything they need to know at the rehearsal so the wedding day is always flawless. I highly recommend working with Kevin for your wedding. You won't be disappointed.

Kevin was absolutely perfect in making our wedding dreams come true. He gave so many helpful suggestions for our vows and ceremony. He was available and responsive to our questions and concerns. His communication was beyond compare. He was so kind, wonderful, and available. We couldn’t have picked a better person to marry us. Thank you for marrying us, Kevin!

Kevin was amazing! Throughout our planning process, we had several meetings with him where we got to know him personally. He got to know our love story and used it to craft the perfect wedding ceremony. He gave plenty of options, but let us know it was all about what we wanted. We got SO many compliments on the authenticity and personalization of the wedding ceremony. It was truly special and we would recommend him to anyone!

Kevin was recommended to us by our wedding planner and he hit it out of the park! He was very efficient, funny, warm and professional through the entire process. We got married out of town and didn't have a personal clergy accessible to perform our ceremony. I was nervous about having someone conduct our wedding that didn't know us. We met with Kevin and immediately felt comfortable with him and he put my mind at ease. After a few sessions and questionnaires for him to get to know us, he nailed our ceremony and was able to bring out our authentic selves in our ceremony. We had several guests say they felt the love and that he captured our relationship and personalities perfectly. It was an honor to have him conduct our ceremony and we are grateful for the lasting memories he helped us create. If you are able to land Kevin, we highly recommend it!

Amazing officiant! Words cannot describe how amazing Kevin was as our officiant! Kevin was helpful through the process of creating the perfect ceremony for me and my husband. He was able to take the information we provided to him from his questionnaire and deliver a truly remarkable love story to present to our guests. He made sure we were comfortable with the choices we were making and provided us many different options that we incorporated into our vows and ceremony.

We are beyond thankful that we were able to have Kevin be our officiant! He was amazing! He made our ceremony so special and personalized to us. We had so many compliments from our guests on the ceremony. He was professional and pleasant to work with through our whole process!

Kevin was extremely organized and also extremely flexible. He helped us understand what was "standard" but also helped us make it about us. He gave us just the right amount of options to choose from for our ceremony and then he added his own spin to it that made our ceremony super specific to us as a couple. I can't recommend Kevin enough. He really added so much to our ceremony!

Kevin was absolutely AMAZING. He was so prompt, organized, and tentative. He offered spectacular guidance and helped us to create the ceremony that truly reflected us as a couple. Not to mention, he is such a great person and has beautiful energy. I promise you will love him.

Kevin did such a fantastic job with our ceremony. He was personable, kind, and thorough. He made our ceremony extra special and was able to provide communion for us! We really enjoyed working with him and would highly recommend to any engaged couples!

Kevin was an absolutely incredible officiant to work with and an overall amazing person! Even though we weren’t able to meet him in person until just a few days before our wedding because we are out of state, he made such an effort to get to know us to create a ceremony reflective of who we are. He had in depth questionnaires for us to answer and got to know us more through Zoom calls. He also has so much experience and made the whole process so easy for us. He had several resources he created himself for us to use and told us several times that he would handle all of the logistics and make things as straightforward as possible so we can focus on enjoying the day, which was so appreciated. Communication was frequent and easy and things ran so smoothly in large part thanks to Kevin!

Our wedding was in July 2022. My husband and I come from different religious backgrounds, and we knew it was going to be tricky to have a wedding ceremony that would be inclusive for both of our families. Our wedding planner recommended Kevin Holland, and he did a phenomenal job. He wrote a very beautiful ceremony that literally gave our wedding guests goosebumps. It was very personalized to our love story and our backgrounds. Wedding ceremonies typically follow the same patterns, which causes them to not be very memorable. Kevin Holland did such an amazing job, that the wedding ceremony was a lot of the guest’s favorite part of the entire wedding, because he set a really positive and uplifting tone that really underscored how special and momentous of an occasion it was for us and our families to come together as one. It made people feel that they were really witnessing something special and that they were getting to be included in our love story. What we also really appreciated was that Kevin was so on top of making sure every aspect of the ceremony occurred smoothly and seamlessly. He gave very subtle cues and gestures to people who had roles in the ceremony. For example, to indicate where someone should stand to do their reading or reminding my maid of honor to take my flowers, etc… It’s really easy for people to forget these things in the moment when all eyes are on them. He also knew to stand out of the frame for the kiss. I would recommend him 10 times over to anyone about to get married, especially if your wedding ceremony may be non traditional. He is very skilled and experienced in navigating situations where two people come from different religious backgrounds, and he can modify the ceremony to include as much or as little reference to religion as you want. We could not have asked for a better experience!

Kevin did such an amazing job officiating our wedding. The entire time leading up to the wedding he took the time to get to know us and our relationship. He asked questions and listened to what we wanted and based on that, he put together the most perfect ceremony that was the perfect blend of traditional and non-traditional elements, just like we wanted. He made the process so easy for us, which we appreciated very much. We have heard from multiple people how great of a ceremony it was and how impressed they were with Kevin. I would HIGHLY recommend Kevin to anyone looking for an officiant for their wedding.

Kevin spent a lot of time getting to know us making his ceremony incredibly relevant and special. Thanks for hearing us and for making our day more than just words and dancing.
