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!
