Book Oak City Ceremonies as your wedding officiant immediately

When you really get down to it, the most important part of your wedding day is your ceremony; it’s why you’re there. It was really important to us that the ceremony not just be an obligatory half hour on the way to the party, but a feature part of our wedding day. Rebecca of Oak City Ceremonies made it so.

We met virtually with Rebecca for an initial consultation and immediately knew the vibe was right. We booked her and when our wedding day got closer, we met with her in person for a coffee and chat about what we wanted for our ceremony. She sent up follow up materials, including potential readings for our friends, sample vows, and videos of how we could do our handfasting ceremony. She also sent us a survey (for me and my now husband to complete), which asked about our first date, first impressions, what we love about each other now, etc.

From all the information she gathered, Rebecca wrote us the most beautiful and authentic-to-us ceremony. One guest commented afterward that the way that Rebecca wove in our Love Story made her and our other guests feel like they were part of that story. Many other guests remarked upon how beautiful our ceremony was. Rebecca’s words really brought everyone together in this common understanding of why we were all gathered here today: the work and love that had been put into our relationship, now culminating in this moment where we joined in matrimony.

We couldn’t recommend Rebecca and Oak City Ceremonies more highly! Rebecca was responsive, worked with us with various ceremony/vow changes, and just a genuinely kind and friendly person. We’re so grateful that we found her to write our Love Story and share it so powerfully with all of our family and friends!

Amazing experience

Our experience was amazing. Rebecca was very professional, helpful, and made our ceremony so special. We had multiple people comment afterwards that our ceremony was as if Rebecca had known us for years. It was perfect for us.
