Personal Weddings of North Carolina

to give the best wedding ceremony he can for each couple. He makes each person fill out a separate questionnaire to get to know us on a deeper level, and asks if there is anything specific we would like included in our ceremony- my husband wanted a Top Gun reference and Kevin delivered! All of our guests told us how much they enjoyed our ceremony and what a great job Kevin did. We are so glad we had Kevin as a part of our wedding!

able to meet with Kevin in person he really took the time to get to know us. Fast forward to the rehearsal Kevin made us feel very comfortable and we knew exactly what to expect. On our wedding day our ceremony was beautiful, our friends and family told us how much they loved it, and we loved it too! Kevin was very organized and always requested info from us with plenty of notice and did not leave anything for the last minute. We feel so lucky to have had Kevin be part of our special day and we highly recommend him.

lly puts a lot of thought into it and gives you ideas to think about. It was a beautiful ceremony ans several guests came to me to compliment Kevin

nfortunately he could not make it to our ceremony due to unforeseen circumstances, but he put us in touch with another wonderful officiant who made the transition easy and seamless. It was so nice of him to have a backup for us so we weren't left scrambling. Extremely kind and professional, and you can tell he really cares about you as a couple. If he continues doing weddings I would absolutely recommend him.

riented, and really took the time to get to know myself and my husband. On our wedding day, he spoke beautifully and you could tell that he put great effort into writing a ceremony that truly reflected our love story. So many of our guests told us that he was one of the best officiants they had ever heard speak! It was such a pleasure getting to work with Rev. Holland- he is an expert at what he does and you can tell he is truly passionate!

me to meet with us beforehand to get to know us better in advance of our wedding day. He also handled all paperwork after our wedding, so we didn't have to worry about any of the submission steps. Our wedding was spectacular, and so much of that is due to Kevin's words.

asked questions to get to know us better. He was very personable and took the funny & loving information from our questions/meetings and put it into the ceremony. He wants the ceremony to be how you imagine it and is very helpful when you have questions. The ceremony was AMAZING and have heard nothing but rave reviews from everyone who said Kevin did a great job. You should definitely hire him as your officiant!

ighly recommend Kevin to anyone and he was just fantastic to work with, and overall just really flexible and incorporated our different backgrounds with ease. Thank you Kevin!

nal throughout the process and was a huge help planning the ceremony. Definitely recommend!

generic celebrations. When we first reached out to Kevin, we were immediately impressed by his responsiveness, knowledge in the field and his professionalism. We learned so many things about marriage laws, officiating and even some of the best practices of putting together a personalized ceremony. Kevin kept our minds at ease the entire time we worked together and was always there to answer any questions we had. He made us feel special and made our ceremony feel very personalized to us. I would highly recommend Kevin as an officiant. He is excellent!

such meaningful ceremony.

do to ease the stress; I don’t know if anyone else would have done that. He was flexible with all the COVID stuff going on and I would choose him all over again. He was the perfect fit for our wedding and I highly recommend you at least meet with him to see if he will work for your wedding; we knew within ten minutes we wanted to hire him.

veral compliments on how beautiful it was as well! He even saved the day at the last minute when we forgot an important item for the ceremony. Would absolutely recommend him to couples looking for an officiant.

l anecdotes into the wedding to make us and our guests laugh, as well as included prayers and more traditional religious wedding ceremony aspects. We highly recommend Kevin for any couple looking to get hitched!

anything we wanted to meet our needs which is great because I'm sure he's used to some of us picky brides and seems unfazed. I had so many compliments from our guests about what nice meaningful words Kevin spoke. I rewatchrd my ceremony video last night and it was just perfect! My husband and I got emotional all over again! Thank you Kevin

here was no point in looking any further. Kevin made both of us cry like a baby during our ceremony. It was totally customized to us, and was far better than we imagined even after seeing drafts of the ceremony beforehand. Kevin was also very professional, punctual, knowledgeable, and generally awesome. Kevin, thank you for helping us seal our bond in marriage. You’ll always hold a special place in our hearts when we remember our wedding day.

we had lots of compliments from our friends and family. Kevin guided us thoughtfully in preparing for our ceremony and made it an easy process once the day came! He was incredible supportive and we highly recommend him to officiate at your wedding! Thank you Kevin!

end him!

how, despite being strangers on the other side of a Zoom call (thanks to Covid) Kevin was able to put us at ease during a global pandemic with so much uncertainty, letting us know everything would be okay, and he would be delighted to share in our special day. He took the time to understand our relationship, as well as our upbringing(s), and catered to our exact wants and needs for an officiant. He effortlessly blended my husband’s Episcopalian upbringing and my family’s Catholic upbringing to make it a truly special day and something that is inherently ours. Kevin was not only the person to marry us legally and in the eyes of God; he became a member of our family that day and shared in our love and commitment to each other. We couldn’t have done it without him, and if you’re looking for a ceremony that’s truly unique, thoughtful, and meaningful- hire Kevin, and do not look back!

ting to know you as a couple and provides excellent suggestions to make your ceremony unique and tailored to your personalities. His light-heartedness and super fun personality made every meeting with him even that much more enjoyable. After each encounter, both me and my husband always left with a new boost of joy and happiness in our hearts. His flexibility during the all the COVID restrictions eased our concerns and still made our minimony super cute and fun! It was a great preview for what our full ceremony will look like next year!!

sn’t “just a job” for him but a passion. He took the time to get to know me, my family and every detail I wanted involved into my wedding day. Kevin was even flexible when it came to in person or Face time meetings to work around my schedule and chaotic life. Needless to say but I would recommend his business to anyone looking for the best officiant in North Carolina. Thank you for making my ceremony perfect even with all my last minute changes!!!! BEST IN TOWN hands down!

etc. but Kevin helped with every step along the way!

ly came through in our ceremony. He also did a great job of talking us through our options of how the ceremony could go and worked to incorporate the small things that were important to us. I would recommend Kevin to anyone who is getting married and is looking for a personal touch from your officiant!

and reminded us that our day would be special and romantic regardless of the circumstances. He was organized, professional, and had a wonderful sense of humor. He wove the tale of how we met and got engaged perfectly, and I am so glad that he is who we chose as our officiant!

vin's words. Kevin made the couple, their parents and guests laugh and at the same time, it was a beautiful and emotional moment for everybody. For us photographers, working with Kevin is a pleasure. He makes sure to make us comfortable around the altar to take the shots our couples will cherish for the rest of their lives. We can't wait for the next wedding together. We highly recommend Kevin to be your officiant. You won't regret! 5-star service!!!

us - he was truly interested in us having our best day! A few weeks after meeting we had a Skype discussion (it was around Christmas time so less hectic for all of us). After the call ended my husband and I both agreed we wanted to choose Kevin - and laughed and laughed - because we were both so positive we wanted to tell Kevin before the call ended but also didn’t want to make a decision without discussing with one another. Kevin made this whole process so easy. Our families are Catholic - and we chose to do a non Catholic ceremony. While they were upset at first - after our ceremony all anyone could talk about was how amazing Kevin was. As we desired - Kevin’s ceremony for us told our story. It was perfect!! Even our other vendors commented on him and said he was now their number one to recommend to other customers.

planning process and was extremely helpful. He was very accommodating, as we didn’t want to have a very religious ceremony but did want to have some catholic undertones and he knew exactly how to do it. Kevin truly made our ceremony special and could not thank him enough (especially for wearing that robe in 90+ degree heat!)

evin! You made our day perfect!

o face meetings.

nd really took time to get to know us as a couple! HE IS FIVE STARS ALL AROUND, don’t walk but RUN to get him on your vendor list!

emony he was also professional, organized, and added a cute sense of humor to the ceremony through getting to know us as a couple. Highly recommend!

back and fourth. After attending our ceremony many of the guests thought we had known Kevin for years! We had no idea how a ceremony should go, and Kevin guided us through the entire process, letting us make any little change we wanted. He’s thoughtful and funny and makes you feel confident everything will run smoothly. Trust Kevin with Your special day you will not be disappointed!!

hey enjoyed it as well. In addition to the great ceremony, Kevin was helpful with recommendations on other vendors and ideas for the wedding. We highly recommend Kevin!

write our ceremony from scratch. We had an idea of a few things we wanted to incorporate into our ceremony and relied on Kevin’s knowledge of all things weddings to effectively write and perform the ceremony. Kevin deserves every bit of that trust. Our ceremony was by far my favorite part of our special day, and that is all thanks to Kevin and how he makes your personal love story come to life in front of all your family and friends. Another thing worth noting about Kevin is his AWESOME COORDINATING skills at our rehearsal. We had our day-of-coordinator at the rehearsal as well, but didn’t even need her because Kevin did such an amazing job of preparing everyone involved for the ceremony. Thank you, Kevin!

ed to accomplish during the ceremony (besides the obvious!). Kevin was thoughtful, professional, kind, and just made everyone there feel at ease. He spoke such beautiful words over us, our guests, and our future. Do not think twice about working with Kevin!

h of us and that showed during the ceremony. Not only did we have a great officiant on our wedding day, but we feel as though we have someone rooting for us in our marriage each and every day! We are so lucky that we had Kevin as our officiant!

mean for their future. I liked Kevin’s method of including the biblical foundation for marriage without preaching a sermon that might alienate some of the guests. Comments from our guests about the wedding have been positive. Kevin brings confidence and experience to the officiant role, and I am happy he was part of our team. There were some issues, though, but since I was not part of the contract negotiations I cannot classify these as failures. I offer them as items a prospective couple may want to discuss during the planning. Kevin missed the rehearsal and along with that went any time he might have had to adjust the processional or music, fellowship with the wedding party, and so on. Given that a wedding is a bride’s once-in-a-lifetime experience miscues can mar the special moment. Kevin mispronounced the groom’s last name during the ceremony, and I can’t help but feel this might have been caught and corrected during the rehearsal. I was told that Kevin had scheduled a business trip and his return flights on the night of the rehearsal were delayed. The panic of wondering if a backup minister should be lined up just in case is not something the father of the bride needs the night before the wedding. And that stress is not something the bride should experience either. Kevin scheduled another wedding the same afternoon as my daughter’s and departed shortly after the ceremony. The wedding coordinator and bride had planned for him to offer the blessing at the reception, but again I do not know if this expectation was discussed with Kevin. If you’re seeking more of a pastoral or shepherding officiant for your wedding or if you have expectations of Kevin outside the actual 30 minute ceremony you may want to take time to discuss and document those.

we wanted. We still have people tell us that their favorite part of our wedding was the ceremony and how our officiant did an awesome job weaving our stories together - we can’t help but agree! Kevin is personal, dedicated, and kindhearted. He will give 110% to make your wedding ceremony special and tailored just for you. Thank you Kevin for helping to make our wedding ceremony special and memorable! We are extremely thankful for you!

ceremony that was perfect. Throughout the rest of the day we had people coming up to us to say how amazing the ceremony was and how great Kevin did. We can't thank or recommend Kevin enough.

rences in our ceremony. He is very open minded and we did not feel that this changed his opinion of us at all. Multiple guests raved about the ceremony. Our love story was so personal! Would recommend 100%!

s background and details of our wedding day is what sets him apart. He took time getting to know us and our "story" to write and perform an absolutely beautiful, personal and heartfelt wedding ceremony. Our family & friends can't stop raving about how great he was - many commenting that it was the best ceremony they'd ever been to! We're a little impartial, but have to agree :) Kevin was also an invaluable resource when it came down to the legal aspect of getting married. By the time we returned from our honeymoon, Kevin emailed to confirm our marriage license was successfully submitted. One trip to the courthouse later and we had certified copies in hand 2 weeks after wedding day. We could go on for days, but our wedding day simply wouldn't have been the same without Kevin. He made the moment we became husband and wife one we'll cherish for a lifetime.

looking for someone who understood that we wanted it to be a nondenominational wedding, but also could bring some Catholic beliefs and readings into the ceremony. We spent sometime looking through different wedding websites and talked to a bunch of different individuals who we were never too impressed with. When we finally stumbled upon Kevin, it was a relief. When we met in him in person, it just solidified that it was meant to be and he was the one! From the first meeting to the very end, Kevin was there for us. We had a very busy schedule and him being available over email or phone was so convenient it made the planning process a little less stressful. Kevin made our ceremony all about us. It was beautiful and it truly captured who we were as a couple and as individuals. Our ceremony only lasted about 30 minutes (which we were so grateful for) but in those 30 minutes, there was laughter, happy tears and so much joy. Everyone came up to us and expressed how much they loved the ceremony and how there wasn't a dry eye in the crowd. That's how I judge an Officiant; how they can move a crowd of strangers in as little as 30 minutes. He even took care of filing our marriage certificate for us!! Now that's service :) I highly recommend Kevin and Personal Weddings NC for your Officiant; you won't be disappointed.

felt like I was seeing a cherished family member. He really took the time to get to know us as a couple and our love story and incorporates it ALL into you ceremony. Kevin has tons of recommendations for different vendors he has worked with if you are looking for anyone at all (he suggested our amazing wedding coordinator right off the bat when I mentioned I was having trouble finding someone).I was a little worried when we were looking for an officiant since my husband and I are not religious, but our families are. I wondered if we could find an officiant that would be alright with our choices and could create a ceremony that would make my catholic family happy and comfortable. Kevin did all that and more! He was more than happy to work with us to find the right balance for us and our families and was completely understanding and nonjudgmental. Kevin just wanted US to be happy and worked extremely hard to achieve that. I don't even know what to say for our wedding day service. There was not one dry eye in the venue. Kevin did a better job than I could have ever hoped for. He managed to create and deliver a ceremony with such emotion that reflected my husband and I perfectly. Our families were overjoyed! Really all we heard all night was how wonderful the ceremony was and how Kevin felt like part of the family. Even my wedding photographer expressed how amazing Kevin was ( he had emailed her to let her know he would step out of the way for the first kiss so he didn't "photo-bomb" us), he really thinks of everything!!! He loves being an officiant and does his absolute best to make the day memorable and easy for you. He truly loves his job and is amazing at what he does. Cannot recommend highly enough.

ceremony. I highly recommend him!

!!!

at way! No only did Kevin unite us, but he took the time to get to know us, our family and our story. Nothing short of an amazing officiant and an even better man! He’s now part of our family and I couldn’t recommend him enough!!

blend our backgrounds would be a difficult task but Kevin was more than up for the challenge. Even better, he made us feel that it was a non-issue which put us at ease. He made great recommendations for readings and took our requests in stride. He flawlessly blended our traditions and had our guests laughing and crying happy tears throughout the ceremony. EVERYONE commented afterwards how much they enjoyed our ceremony and thought it reflected our personalities so well, all while being respectful of our different faiths. I even had a few people say that they wished Kevin had been THEIR officiant! He also worked really well with our musicians and coordinator to make sure the timing and rehearsal went smoothly. You can tell he has a wealth of experience doing weddings which was so comforting. We were able to relax and know that we were in good hands with him. He thinks of the small details that couples may not consider, like stepping aside when it's time for your first kiss so he's not in the background of your pictures--further proof of being an absolute professional. He sent us questionnaires separately and took great excerpts from our answers, not just reading verbatim, "to this question, the groom said this and the bride said this," (which I have heard at other weddings!). He was a joy to work with: respectful, responsive, creative, calm, a fantastic speaker, and above all a kind and genuinely good person. Ten out of ten times I would choose to work with him again. Kevin, thank you so much for bringing us together as husband and wife!

as we met him that he would be perfect for us. We really didn't have too many ideas about what we wanted in a ceremony, but knew we wanted traditional elements without being too religious. Kevin worked with us to create a perfect ceremony that our guests keep talking about. He truly cares about getting to know you. He added just the right amount of personal elements to the ceremony to make us smile and laugh and we truly enjoy every minute of it. We would recommend Kevin to anyone!

couple in order to give us the most authentic ceremony possible. He was completely fine with our wishes for nothing religious, and worked with us to customize the ceremony to exactly how we envisioned it. Kevin had us answer some questions about one another with no idea what the other person had written until we were standing at the alter. He took the answers to those questions and his knowledge and observations of us, and told our friends and family our love story during our ceremony. It was like no other ceremony I’d ever heard. Almost every single one of our guests commented on how emotional and personal and “us” it was, and we have no one but Kevin to thank for that. We loved it so much that we’re even having the text turned into a piece of art! We will forever be grateful to Kevin for giving us the absolute perfect ceremony to start our marriage. Oh, and his wife Karen and her moonwalking skills are pretty awesome too!

heartfelt. We could not recommend him enough.
