Lem LeRoy - Wedding Officiant 

5.0

Waxhaw, NC
  • Offers 10 ceremony types
  • Starts at $250
  • Serves North Carolina

I am an ordained minister based in the Charlotte metropolitan area. I've served a local church as a minister and music director in the region for over 20 years. I've had over 30 years experience of helping couples plan and facilitate their wedding ceremony, in grand or intimate venues, either as an officiant or as a musician. I grew up in a small town outside of Athens, GA and graduated from the University of Georgia (GO DAWGS) in 1995 with a Bachelor of Music degree concentrating in piano and voice. I've been married since 2006 to my wife, Ellen and we have three beautiful children: Kate, Meredith, and Owen.

Lem LeRoy, the wedding officiant, was a real pleasure to work with. My husband and I were really nervous about choosing an officiant for our wedding because we didn't know what to expect, but Lem made the entire process easy and seamless. He was very thorough, asking all the right questions to understand what we wanted our day to be like. Lem always followed up with us and made sure we knew what we needed when it came to the marriage license, taking that stress off our plate. He also made sure the ceremony was exactly what we wanted it to be, changing anything we asked him to. Lem took the time to get to know us better, which really shone through in the personalized ceremony he created. We are so grateful to Lem for helping make our wedding day special and memorable.

Love to Laugh - Wedding Officiant & Speech Writing Services 

5.0

Raleigh, NC
  • Offers 9 ceremony types
  • Starts at $100
  • Serves North Carolina

At "Love to Laugh" we offer wedding officiant services, event MC services, speech writing services, and more, with a twist—we're standup comedians! We take what we do very seriously, however, providing elite customer service, a unique skillset, and a genuine passion for people and love to deliver a memorable, heartfelt experience.

Matt is my brother and my husband and I chose him to officiate our wedding, not only because he is family, but because we wanted it to feel more personal rather than a generic wedding ceremony speech from the officiant. I always knew my brother was good with words and could speak in front of a crowd, but he truly exceeded our expectations to give us the most memorable ceremony we could have asked for. His speech was the perfect mix of lighthearted jokes, love, personal stories from our relationship, and information and feelings from my husband and I. He truly captured the essence of love and what it means to commit yourself to someone else for the rest of your life. Our guests still cannot stop talking about how great Matt was, even 6 months after the wedding! If you are looking for a wedding officiant to personalize your ceremony, make you and your guests laugh, and make the whole room feel the love between you and your partner, I truly recommend Matt for your special day!! You will not regret it!

Raleigh, NC
  • Offers 6 ceremony types
  • Starts at $300
  • Serves North Carolina

Weddings are one of life’s most meaningful moments, and it’s a true honor to be part of that story. My goal is to creating a ceremony that feels personal, genuine, and completely you.

We felt the pace was just right - not rushed or dragging. Aaron's work was accurate, sincere, and considerate, creating a thoughtful, positive Christian atmosphere for our beautiful ceremony.

NC Weddings of Distinction 

5.0

Charlotte, NC
  • Offers 10 ceremony types
  • Starts at $450
  • Serves North Carolina

I (Julie Furr) specialize in creating and officiating custom wedding ceremonies, designed especially for each couple’s wants and needs. I marry ALL couples with ALL kinds of traditions. It is the couple's decision whether or not to include any spiritual or religious elements. The focus of the ceremony is the love between the two who are joining in marriage. We will meet (virtually or in person, free consultation) to talk through possibilities for this unique ceremony. I provide a digital Ceremony Planning Form from which I create a custom ceremony draft!

Julie with NC Weddings of Distinction helped make our special day a very special memory. As a gay couple, of course we had the anxiety of trying to find a wedding officiant who would be inclusive, understanding and supportive. When we came across Julie's website, we instantly became somewhat relieved and hopeful due to her site content and what seemed like a perfect person to make our day official. Then with our first meeting with her via videocall, our hopefulness turned into sheer relief and happiness that we had found our perfect officiant. Julie was organized, professional, caring and totally open to making sure our dream day was exactly what we wanted. Other officiants that we talked with kept trying to fit our wedding day into a "package" or some sort of traditional vision of what they expected our day to be. Julie was total opposite and took our lead and drove the vision based on what WE wanted for our day, offering counsel when we had questions and always circling back to our vision and hopes. She understood quickly that we did not want a stereotypical wedding ceremony, and that our vision was an elegant cocktail and dinner event with close family and friends ... that just so happened to have a wedding ceremony incorporated into the evening. Julie took time to get to know us as individuals and as a couple, using that information to create a story or narrative that incorporated our personalities and dreams with touches of love, laughter and heartfelt tears in nearly all guests' eyes. Julie was an essential element in our day that made our "ceremony" unique and memorable for the rest of our lives.

Thinking about having your good friend officiate your big day for you, but unsure of how they will do? Well what if your good friend was a professional with over 2,300 weddings under their belt? That's the best way to describe what we shoot for at MBE ... being the good friend that definitely knows what to do when the moment counts! Whether you plan to have an intimate elopement ceremony or if you've been working on your dream wedding for months, we'd love to help you make your day one to truly remember. Our goals are to help you decide exactly what you want to do on your big day and to do everything we can to make it come to life!

One of the most complimented parts of our entire wedding day was our ceremony, and that’s all thanks to our incredible officiant, Evan. From the beginning, we knew we wanted a ceremony that felt meaningful and personal, and Evan delivered that and so much more. He met with us ahead of time, walked us through everything, and really took the time to understand our story. When the big day came, he absolutely nailed it. He shared our love story in such a heartfelt and light-hearted way, beautifully weaving in some of my favorite scripture. There was laughter, happy tears, and so much joy…he truly set the tone for the rest of the day, and helped calm my nerves more than he probably realized. To top it all off, Evan is a true jack of all trades, his company also offers bartending services! Right after the ceremony, he jumped behind the bar and kept the good vibes going. So many of our guests told us how much they enjoyed chatting with him and how great the service was. If you're looking for someone who can do it all,and do it with heart….Evan is your guy.

JOHNSON CITY, TN

  • Starts at $199
  • Serves North Carolina

See my website for accurate pricing. My region ranges from Asheville NC, Southwestern Virginia, through Morristown Tn, into Gatlinburg, then all the way into Knoxville Tn! Further with travel fees though. By the time you've reached my page, you may have prepared yourself and have researched (or still are) to find the right Wedding Officiant. It's my professional job to make your wedding as stress free as possible. I enjoy adventure elopements and large elegant weddings. When you decide to hire a Pro, you probably want someone with empathy that understands what you're looking for. Your ceremony will be thoughtfully created and not boring.

We had our dream adventure elopement on 6/9/25 at Roan Mountain on the TN border. Josh created a ceremony that was personal and beautifully written just for us. To say that he went "above and beyond" is an understatement. He was so much more than "just an officiant." He was amazing! Helpful from start to finish in every way imaginable (from music, to hair, to props, pics, and more) ! He is personable, easy to get along with, and downright funny! There needs to be an option for more than 5 stars because he deserves every single one! Recommend 10/10!
