Judy helped guide my husband & I through the entire process. She offered several readings & vow ideas, helping us create a unique & personal ceremony. You can tell by her work that she takes her job seriously & finds joy in helping others. Our ceremony was beautiful & the most important moment of our day. If you're hoping to have a service tailored to you, I would definitely recommend her. (*photo credit June Bird Photography)

We had a wonderful wedding last Saturday. Judy did an amazing job working with us both originally to select our vows she put together a beautiful ceremony. We felt like the words she spoke were speaking to each other hearts. She joined our family for a small reception lunch afterwards and all our family members felt we knew both her and her husband. Thank you Judy, we'll adopt you anytime! I highly recommend her services.

A few months before the wedding, our previously booked wedding officiant had to cancel - of course at the time this put me in panic mode, but now I think it is the best thing that ever happened to our wedding ceremony! When I spoke to Reverend Judy for the first time on the phone, I felt like I was talking to a good friend. She was so warm, caring, and excited to celebrate our love! Reverend Judy helped us to craft the most personal ceremony that reflected us as people and as a couple. Our guests told us it was the most beautiful and personal ceremony they had ever heard. Reverend Judy shared with us many options for readings and types of ceremonies to make the planning process easier and had us fill out questionnaires with personal information so that she could weave details about us and our relationship throughout the ceremony like she had known us for years. She was so accommodating and flexible to our thoughts and suggestions with the ceremony and was able to integrate a hand fasting as we requested. She was punctual and dependable, both at the rehearsal and the wedding day. We invited Reverend Judy and her husband to join us for both the rehearsal dinner and wedding reception, and they were a pleasure, even bringing us some honey from their farm! Thank you again for helping us to have a wedding ceremony that was a pure reflection of us and our love!
Rev. Judy is a dear friend of mine for many years. When she decided to offer wedding officiant services a few years ago, I was delighted to share with her all my ceremony material and knowledge gained from over 16 years of officiating weddings in North Carolina. She took the ball and ran. Her ceremonies are amazing and very couple-specific including the story of how they met and fell in love and the things they love about each other. Judy is a polished public speaker and delivers each wedding ceremony with grace and confidence. If you are looking for an amazing ceremony and officiant, hire Judy!
