    The absolute best officiant!

    Rebecca was truly amazing in making our ceremony so special. She took the time to get to know us to create the most beautiful ceremony for us. It was lighthearted and fun, but also really meaningful and I can't thank her enough. I highly recommend her!

    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.

    We Loved Working With Oak City Ceremonies!

    It can be a bit nerve-racking to choose a wedding officiant, and we are SO grateful we found Oak City Ceremonies. Rebecca and Emily are a dynamite team and work so hard to beautifully capture your story for the ceremony. We had so much fun in the process of crafting it and meeting them, and we were blown away by the results. Emily is so poised and did the best job. Several guests thought she was my relative because she's so genuine and feels like she's known us since the beginning with the way she delivered. She was so well spoken with the right combination of sincerity, love and humor. Rebecca was such a joy to work with in all the planning stages and is so responsive and detailed. We felt comfortable working with them right away and that never changed. I couldn't recommend them enough!

    Best officiant ever!

    We had the absolute pleasure of having Rebecca as our officiant for our wedding on January 20th, 2024. She blew our expectations out of the water. We were able to make our ceremony be exactly what we wanted. All of our guests RAVED about our ceremony and how it was different than most weddings. Rebecca told our story by having us fill out a survey but also our friends and family so that she could write a version of our story from our perspective but also the perspective of those close to us. We were able to incorporate anything we wanted as well. It was a truly magical ceremony and we are forever grateful to have had Rebecca officiate our wedding! You could not choose a better officiant.

    Could Not Imagine a Better Ceremony

    Rebecca and Emily put together the most wonderful ceremony we could ask for. They were so thorough leading up to our special day, meeting with us over coffee, asking all of the right questions, and making us feel so heard throughout the process. They are fantastic listeners, kind people, and masters of their craft. With the level of care they put into our ceremony, we didn't even need a coordinator. Reading the final draft brought tears to my wife and my eyes. It was beautiful. Thank you both so much, for everything. 100/10 would recommend these wonderful women to anyone.

    A Bespoke and Unique Wedding Ceremony!

    Rebecca and Emily were incredible to work with! From the very beginning we felt instantly comfortable with them and felt that they understood the vision for our wedding. They spend the time to get to know the couple and craft a truly unique and beautiful love story that is shared with our wedding guests.

    We had multiple guests come up to us and tell us that our ceremony was beautiful and one of the best wedding ceremonies they had ever attended. One of my husband's cousins even told us that she's only cried 7 times in her life and our wedding was the 7th because the story was so beautiful. If you are getting married in the Triangle area, you HAVE to book Oak City Ceremonies!!

    Rebecca MADE Our Wedding!

    Rebecca was the first vendor I booked for our wedding, right after we secured our date with our venue. To me the ceremony is the most important part of the entire wedding, and it can make or break the guests' experience. Rebecca was so organized and patient with us throughout the entire process, and is an incredibly gifted writer and speaker. You can't go wrong booking Oak City Ceremonies!

    Wonderful Officiant!

    Rebecca and Oak City Ceremonies were absolutely wonderful to work with! When we first started looking for an officiant, we were concerned we may not be able to have the ceremony we had always pictured. Rebecca calmed our fears and gave us everything we had been looking for and more! She took the time to really get to know us as a couple and as individuals so she could tell our love story in a really meaningful way. She communicated with us every step of the way and made the whole process stress free for us. I would absolutely recommend Rebecca and Oak City Ceremonies to any couple looking for a truly unique wedding ceremony!

    Sweet & Wonderful

    Rebecca made things very easy on our wedding day; we didn't have to worry about the ceremony details at all. In addition to writing the ceremony, she helps organize the procedural aspects, sends reminders on marriage licenses, and has all the smaller details you wouldn't always think about covered. Our guests commented on how sweet the ceremony was - this wouldn't have been possible without Oak City Ceremonies. We were happy to have Rebecca standing (and sweating) with us in the July heat!

    Heartfelt and Fun!

    Oak City Ceremonies was perfect for our wedding. Rebecca was so wonderful to work with throughout the whole process and wrote an amazing love story that was the perfect balance of recognizing our love and lighthearted fun. She was always very responsive and huge help walking us through all the steps of actually getting married. Our guests have been raving about her beautiful ceremony writing even weeks after our wedding. I cannot recommend Oak City Ceremonies enough.

    Dynamic Duo!

    Emily and Rebecca made our wedding ceremony an unforgettable and deeply meaningful experience. Their warmth, professionalism, and genuine passion for their work were evident from the moment we met them, and they guided us through the entire process with grace and expertise.

    From our initial consultation to the day of the ceremony, Emily and Rebecca took the time to understand our love story, our values, and our vision for the wedding. They crafted a ceremony that was uniquely tailored to us, incorporating our beliefs and traditions seamlessly. Their attention to detail and their ability to capture our essence as a couple were truly remarkable.

    The ceremony itself was a testament to Emily’s skill as officiants. Emily exuded a calming presence that helped set the tone for the entire event. Her eloquent and heartfelt words resonated with us and our guests, creating an atmosphere filled with love and joy. Her delivery was flawless, and her ability to engage the audience was remarkable.

    Beyond their roles as officiants, Emily and Rebecca went above and beyond to ensure that every aspect of our ceremony was flawless. They were responsive, organized, and attentive to our needs throughout the planning process. Their guidance and support were invaluable, making the entire experience stress-free and enjoyable.

    We cannot express enough gratitude to Emily and Rebecca for their extraordinary contribution to our wedding day. They exceeded our expectations in every way, and their passion for uniting hearts is truly inspirational. If you are searching for wedding officiants who will create a ceremony that is personal, heartfelt, and unforgettable, we wholeheartedly recommend Emily and Rebecca.

    Thank you, Emily and Rebecca, for officiating our wedding with such love and care. You truly made our day a beautiful celebration of our love, and we will cherish the memories you helped us create forever.

    Absolutely Amazing

    Rebecca from Oak City Ceremonies made our wedding day SO special!
    My husband and I knew that we didn’t want a cookie cutter ceremony- so we absolutely loved working with Rebecca and learning about how Oak City Ceremonies totally customizes and writes a 100% original script for each ceremony.
    Rebecca took the time to get to know us personally- and sent us and our closest friends and family questionnaires to get to know us better. She used these questionnaires to write a beautiful synopsis of our love story to share during our ceremony.
    At our reception- almost everyone that we spoke with remarked on how much they loved hearing our love story and how our ceremony was so special and different from any other wedding they have attended (in a good way!).
    She was so flexible and inclusive and made us feel comfortable throughout the whole process.
    We also greatly appreciated that she made herself available the day before our ceremony to attend our rehearsal with the bridal party. All of my bridesmaids told me that Rebecca had such a sweet and calming presence that put them all at ease.
    Beyond that- both before and after our wedding day- Rebecca sent us helpful check-in emails (like reminding us to pick up our marriage license!) and also sending helpful information about the name change process and etc.
    We are so grateful that Rebecca was available for our wedding day, and we honestly can’t imagine the day without her. We can’t wait to get our wedding footage back so we can rewatch our special ceremony!
    I would (and I will!) without question recommend Rebecca and Oak City Ceremonies to anyone looking for an officiant for their wedding day.
    Thank you, Rebecca!

    Sweet, tailored ceremony!

    Oak City Ceremonies was THE BEST! They really took the time to get to know us and our love story and made that the theme of the ceremony. It was the sweetest ceremony and was my favorite part of my wedding (usually I’m just waiting for those to move along so we can party, lol). Emily was actively excited about our wedding and marriage and it made us feel so happy to have such an engaged and dedicated person officiating our wedding. They were organized, helpful, and a calm presence throughout all of the planning and the big day and I cannot thank Emily enough for all she did! Highly, highly recommend!

    Forever grateful!

    Oak City Ceremonies is truly the best! Rebecca officiated our wedding on 4/22/23. We met her at a wedding show and quickly decided we wanted her to officiate our big day. We are early planners so we had a full year of getting to know her and Emily through Instagram posts and periodic check-ins. Their energy and vibe is so genuine and positive! I can't say enough great things about them. They are inclusive and they go above and beyond to make your day exactly what YOU envision it to be. Without a doubt, we wouldn't have changed a thing and we will be forever grateful that Rebecca was the one to officiate the beginning of this next chapter in our lives!

    Wonderful!

    I waited until fairly last minute to decide on an officiant for our wedding on March 25th. I emailed a bunch of places, and Rebecca was not only one of VERY few to even answer me, but she felt like the right person immediately. She was super sweet, so accommodating, but also extremely patient. It took me a while to respond when she needed details from me, but she was kind and understanding because she knew how overwhelmed I was. She officiated our ceremony beautifully and made it absolutely perfect - everyone was raving about her and she soothed my nerves throughout the ceremony. Highly recommend Rebecca - she was perfect for us :) thank you!

    A dream come true ceremony!

    I cannot even say enough about how amazing Rebecca is!!! Our ceremony was EVERYTHING I dreamed!!! Our personalized love story was something every couple should want to include in their ceremony! Everything is personalized. Rebecca is there before and after every step of the way. I couldn't imagine anyone using any other officiant.
    I truly cannot say thank you enough to Rebecca for being the best out there!!!

    Amazing officiant!

    We are so happy to have chosen to work with Oak City Ceremonies for our wedding. Rebecca was kind, warm, and intentional in sharing our story. Our ceremony felt uniquely ours and we loved that we were able to be surprised by the telling of our love story! It was so special to have the input of our family and friends included as well and to hear their perspectives. Thank you, Rebecca! And we highly recommend these officiants for any couples currently planning their special day.

    The perfect wedding officiant!

    Rebecca is amazing, we could not have asked for a better officiant on our wedding day. Rebecca told our story beautifully, making our ceremony filled with warmth, laughter and happy-tears! She is professional and organized, and communicated with us promptly throughout the entire planning process. We had such a nice time getting to know Rebecca at our in-person planning meeting, she was so thoughtful in her "interview" of us, and asked so many questions that we never would have thought of to capture every detail needed to make our day special and perfect. She also reached out to family and friends throughout the planning process to obtain different perspectives and fun stories to help tell our story. She even provided us with helpful information concerning obtaining a marriage license, name change tips/information, and vow ideas. And her calm and kind demeanor was much appreciated to help calm our nerves on the day of! I whole-heartedly recommend Oak City Ceremonies. Thank you again, Rebecca!

    Amazing! No need to look any further than right here

    Hello!

    We just wanted to thank Rebecca and our AMAZING officiant Emily. EVERYONE raves about her delivery, energy and her radiant smile - not to mention that they LOVED the story and how it was all put together.

    Everything came together so beautifully — IT WAS PERFECT - you two really make an amazing team!

    Thank you both for being a major piece of the most magical day of our lives. We are so lucky and honored to have had Oak City Ceremonies prepare and officiate our wedding ceremony. We would also like to thank you for your service after we married and all of the information provided to make name change and other post wedding ‘to-dos’ easier. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND this team for any couple getting married. They truly brought magic and originality to our ceremony! Thank you 🙏❤️

    Beyond AMAZING! Most personable, easy going and humorous officiant ever!!

    Rebecca is the absolute, hands down best officiant anyone could possibly be lucky enough to have. When our original wedding officiant backed out on us 5 weeks before our big day, we (needless to say) were in massive panic mode. Our ceremony was incredibly important to us. We wanted it to be fun, intimate and personal. Finding an officiant that’s capable of crafting a heart-warming story, with a twist of humor and wrapping it all together to make it the most memorable day of your life, all within a month is impossible. Well, we found out that the impossible was made possible when we found Rebecca and asked her to be our officiant. Rebecca bent over backwards to fit us into her schedule. She went above and beyond to make our wedding special and a day we’d cherish forever. With her kind personality, witty humor and in-depth research into our family, friends and us as a couple, she was able to tell the story of our relationship and love without being stoic, creepy or boring (much like other officiants) and despite the fact that she had another ceremony less than 15 minutes after ours. Words can’t express how grateful we are for you to make our big day as special as it was. Thank you so much Rebecca!!

    Rebecca was so wonderful!

    My daughter had a small official wedding prior to her larger wedding. Her, the groom, four parents, and one photographer. Rebecca performed the ceremony beautifully, at a beautiful location (her parents' apartment overlooking a lake), at a very reasonable price, and was easy and wonderful to work with from start to finish. She made a small legal moment into a beautiful and memorable occasion, and she even hand-made a beautiful certificate. I recommend her highly.

    Rebecca's custom ceremony was worth every penny!!!

    Highly recommend the talented writing and storytelling of Rebecca Wiglama! We worked with Rebecca to create a custom ceremony for our August wedding. We met with her a couple of times and she answered all of our questions so we felt comfortable with the process. She had great suggestions for different elements to bring into the ceremony and was receptive to the ideas that we had, and creatively helped us figure out how to include all the elements we wanted to be in there without making it all feel too long. After the ceremony, all of our guests kept coming up to us to tell us how much they loved the ceremony, which is usually the part that people are ready to be done with! Rebecca made it funny, sweet, and unique to us -- and we loved that she kept the story of how we met a surprise to us until the wedding day! Truly can't recommend her and her company enough. Super thorough, very professional, and very affordable for any budget!

    Amazing ceremony, wonderful people

    We absolutely loved working with Oak City Ceremonies! Emily and Rebecca were both so helpful and responsive. They helped make our ceremony everything we had hoped it would be (although we honestly were not sure at first what that entailed). They sent us so many different ideas and versions until we would what we wanted. They also did a great job including different cultural and religious elements into our ceremony. We highly recommend Oak City Ceremonies to anyone who is hoping for a personal ceremony that reflects you and your partner.

    Rebecca delivered a personalized ceremony that was true to our love story and which was touching and humorous. She exceeded our expectations and we highly recommend her for your ceremony. We had an outdoor July ceremony and she never once complained about the heat and was wonderful around our dogs, who were also in the ceremony. We are so appreciative of her service and would give her 10 stars if we could.
