    Absolutley the perfect choice!

    Ellen was amazing! She handed everything that was needed seamlessly & put together the perfect ceremony for us. John and I had already discussed most of the important changes that would take place in our new life together but we knew that Ellen was there to help us talk through anything significant, if it was needed. Having someone lead our ceremony that was fully committed to a successful marriage was important to us. We loved her sincerity and sense of humor and highly recommend her to anyone considering a wedding on the Outer Banks!

    Beach wedding

    The ceremony Ellen performed was amazing. She really helped make the day special. She went above and beyond with not only the ceremony and rehearsal, but also helping us with the marriage license process. Could recommend enough!

    Responds quickly to messages, helped direct us to make sure we had all the correct paperwork in order for our ceremony.

    I found Ellen while browsing the internet. We were looking for an officiant to perform our ceremony on the beach on Hatteras Island. Ellen responding quickly to all my messages. Answered every question I had. She even helped us make sure we had all the paperwork needed to have the ceremony.

    Amazing Experience in the OBX

    Ellen did an amazing job for our wedding - between pre-marital counseling and her services the day of, she didn’t miss a beat! Not only is she kind and easygoing, but she’s very responsive and super professional. She has a wide range of selections for the ceremony, with our favorite being personalized letters to each other. You will not regret choosing her as your OBX officiant!

    Ellen made our ceremony perfect

    Ellen did an incredible job making our wedding day so special. She had great communication before we arrived and created a perfect ceremony that was very fitting for our family. When Ellen arrived at our home before the ceremony, she was kind and sweet, just as she came across in her emails. We are honored to have had her marry us. I would highly recommend her for any wedding or elopement ceremony!

    Fantastic!

    Ellen did a wonderful job making our special day perfect. She was so easy to work with and made time prior to our wedding to meet with us to just get to know one another. I love the personalized touches that she added to our ceremony to make it perfect for us! I would highly recommend her to anyone who is looking!

    Wedding Review

    My fiance and I decided to get married while we were on a beach vacation with our families. We reached out to Ellen one month before our trip. She was more than helpful with tying all the details in such a short notice. She also allowed us to personalize our vows and include my kids being brought into the marriage. My fiance made a personalized addition for the boys and needless to say, everyone was tearing up. We really wanted a short and sweet ceremony that was meaningful in our choices of poems and vows. She gave us a list of suggestions and other ideas to potentially include with blending families.

    Ellen was very professional and super easy to work with!

    Ellen delivered a personal touch to our wedding ceremony

    I had a great experience with Ellen, she delivered the exact wedding service we envisioned. She was communicative and responsive to our questions and requests. Her delivery of the ceremony was impeccable, her retelling of our love story witty and engaging. We felt Ellen gave our ceremony a personal touch that made it a moving experience for us and our guests. Thank you, Ellen!

    Ellen was great! Traditional with an original spin :)

    Ellen was great! Always responsive, helped me whenever I had questions along the way. She made sure we had our letters done, which turned out perfect when she read them aloud. People were crying and laughing. We both hate public speaking so her picking parts of our letters and reading them for us was also perfect. Her prices are extremely reasonable and her quality of work is on point! You should probably hire Ellen if you're planning a wedding in OBX!

    Great officiant and more...

    Ellen was very quick to respond to emails and answered all our questions and concerns thoroughly. She was very pleasant to work with and made us feel like the stars on our wedding day. Tailored the ceremony to the point where it was like a story being told about us, wonderful. Thank you!

    winter elopement

    Ellen was so flexible and patient but above all, she truly understood how special our small wedding was to us. She was thoughtful with her advice for us and she really put the small little details into her reading that made it personal for us, which I appreciated. Her service was the favorite part of my wedding!

    Ellen made our day special!

    Ellen was amazing. She truly made our day special. From the moment we spoke on the phone I knew she was the one I wanted to marry us. She even took the time before the ceremony to give me a big hug and tell me to keep calm! And was a trooper when we asked her to get in the water and perform our ceremony. Thank you Ellen!
