Exactly what we needed for our perfect day

Looking for someone who could officiate our wedding at a moments notice, we didn't find Love in Carolina first. I first stumbled upon another website promoting their services and they could not accommodate us and thankfully recommended Pastor David Ragsdale of Love In Carolina. A little bewildered by the cold reception of this other "officiant" (I had to wait for a call back), I placed a call to David Ragsdale who was warm and welcoming from our first conversation and continues to be so post-wedding ceremony.

He assured my fiancé and I that he could perform the wedding we desired (religious or not), and all we had to do was give him the details of our request. We were not disappointed as our little ceremony was absolutely perfect and something that we will never forget.

Extremely caring and conscientious of the beliefs of the couples he weds, David Ragsdale will make your wedding day incredible and for an amazingly affordable price as compared to competitors.

We highly recommend David Ragsdale and Love In Carolina for your special day!

Pastor Dave

Dave did a great job for my granddaughter and her Fiance's Wedding that they had me plan. The service was so sweet. They wanted a very small but "just right" wedding. It was planned quickly and he worked with our schedule without a problem. Everything went great. He came to our home for the event and he was very nice for them to talk to prewedding.
Thank you!
