I enjoy meeting and working with couples to make sure that your wedding is unique and reflects your personalities and I offer a 'wedding workbook' to help you personalize your ceremony. Favorite marriages have included first marriages, second; weddings including children; all faiths; LGBTQ; mixed racial; all settings and times of day; and lots of different circumstances! They are all very special! I am also certified for pre-marital counseling. I travel throughout NC, Southern Va., and Northern SC.

Ruth was wonderful! We had a small ceremony at home and already had everything picked out from her (quite comprehensive) wedding workbook. We threw her a curveball with a poem we decided on and had our niece read it and she adjusted easily. She was talking to all of our guests and was a joy to be around. We’re really glad we chose her and would recommend her to anyone looking to get married.

Details: Elopement • Non-religious (no mention of God) • 20 guests or fewer • I'm flexible • English • Officiant will not be needed at the rehearsal

Mrs. Ruth was absolutely amazing and so easy to work with. Any questions I had, she had an answer. We did the marital pre-counseling with her and she was so reassuring and guided us in our union, which we both appreciated.

We were so happy with how our wedding worked out. Ruth was so kind and wonderful throughout the entire planning process and the ceremony. We loved the unique workbook she gave us that allowed us to make the ceremony unique to our liking. We honestly couldn’t have asked for a better officiant. Thank you for everything 🥰

We could not have been more happier! I have been meaning to update my review... We had an emergency and my fiancé and I found ourselves scrambling at the last minute, and when I say last minute...the Tuesday before we were to say I do that coming Saturday. We found Ruth through thumbtack and she was amazing!!!! She was calm, much calmer than we were. She was beyond accommodating. With her AWESOME ceremony planner it only took us a few minutes to get it all figured out. Saturday Ruth showed up and totally knocked it out of the park!! She was amazing! It was like we were friends and knew each other for decades, not a few phone calls and emails just a few days ago. If you need an officiant for your wedding, stop now and get a hold of Ruth and your special day will become even more special.

Details: Wedding • Non-religious (no mention of God) • 21 - 50 guests • Help writing vows will not be needed • English • Officiant will be needed at the rehearsal
