Welcome to Our Circle of Wedding Officiants

We are a warm and diverse group of professional Wedding Officiants serving the Triangle area of North Carolina—Raleigh, Durham, Chapel Hill—and beyond. From the Triad to the beaches, and even into Virginia, we’re here to help make your ceremony unforgettable, no matter where your love takes you.

Each of us is legally ordained and authorized to perform weddings under North Carolina law. We are deeply committed to honoring all couples—celebrating every love story, regardless of faith tradition, cultural background, spiritual or secular belief, gender identity, or sexual orientation. Marriage equality is at the heart of what we do.

We specialize in creating customized ceremonies that reflect your unique values, story, and style. Whether you want something traditional, modern, spiritual, lighthearted, or bilingual—we’ll work with you to make it perfect.

Since our founding in 2004, we’ve grown from three officiants who came together to collaborate—not compete—into a thriving, supportive community of more than a dozen like-minded professionals. We’ve supported one another through life’s twists and turns (including the challenges of COVID) to ensure couples always have a reliable and caring Wedding Officiant on their big day.

If one of us isn’t available for your date, we’re happy to connect you with another trusted member of our group. Helping couples find the right fit is part of who we are.

We love what we do and feel honored to stand beside you as you say “I do.”
