Services offered
Carol can provide affordable services for many types of weddings, including religious, interfaith ceremonies, non-religious, vow renewals and ceremony rehearsals. The ceremony can be organized at your chosen location or Royal Weddings will provide an intimate setting to exchange your vows.
Carol always encourages the couple to write their own vows, in order to create a more unique and bespoke ceremony that reflects their values, beliefs and perspectives. She offers four ceremony packages and the most popular package is The Simple Romantic Ceremony. Its services include:
We don't even know how to begin to describe how lucky we were to have Carol perform our wedding ceremony. We hadn't given much thought to the ceremony details before our last minute, mini wedding was thrown together this year instead of waiting for our postponed date. Carol helped us create a vision of what we wanted and then executed it flawlessly, it was so personalized and perfectly "us". She helped us realize that this was really the most important part of the day and made us SO excited to be getting married in 2020 anyways! We only had 16 guests and we had at least 10 people comment on how amazing the ceremony was - and Carol herself is an absolute pleasure to be around! We honestly can't thank her enough - she's the best decision we could have made for our wedding day!

Phenonmenal Officiant!
Aaron and Sara married on January 26th, 2019
Carol was our officiant for our small and intimate wedding ceremony last weekend and she was amazing! Friends and family alike commented on how nice and friendly she was and how heartfelt her words were. The laughter throughout the ceremony was non-stop and she made Aaron and I feel comfortable and calm. She was very flexible and accommodating with us and was very professional. Pricing was very reasonable as well. Choosing Carol to marry us was the best decision we made and we would without a doubt recommend her.

Wonderful ceremony!
Carol officiated our wedding and she was perfect! My mother even commented, saying what a wonderful job she did, and how she set the tone for the rest of the wedding. It was a beautiful ceremony, complimented by our very personable officiant!

We were extremely impressed with the service provided. Our ceremony was very simple, at our request, and the quick response time was very comforting, being that most our planning was somewhat last minute. Our officiant from Royal Weddings was exceptionally patient, and accommodating, and our guests had only pleasant things to say, at the end of our day.

Highly recommended
Carol was a truly fantastic officiant. She was super accommodating when we had multiple schedule changes thanks to COVID and very responsive to our requests. The ceremony was amazing. She was able to inject some humor into it, which was exactly what we had hoped. We had lots of compliments from our guests about how wonderful she was, and a few or our engaged friends grabbed her business cards.
Would highly recommend to anyone.
