About

I’d be glad to serve as your officiant—congratulations on what you’re planning! I am Dusty Brackett of Carolina Ceremonies. I’ve officiated over 400 weddings across North and South Carolina, and my focus is simple: create a ceremony that feels personal, smooth, and meaningful without adding stress to your day. Whether you want something faith-based, non-religious, or a balanced approach, I’ll build it around what fits you. Most couples I work with are looking for clarity and confidence. I’ll guide you through the process, help shape your ceremony, and make sure everything is handled professionally from start to finish. Pricing Options: Basic Signing — $225 Legal signing only (no ceremony), quick and straightforward. Simple Ceremony - $325 Intimate ceremonies with no wedding party. Short and meaningful. Classic Ceremony (Most Popular) — $450 Custom ceremony, consultation, full officiating, and license filing. Premium Wedding Experience — $700 Everything in Classic plus rehearsal, expanded customization, and additional support throughout the process. (Add-ons available for travel, rush bookings, and custom elements.) I’m not the cheapest option—and that’s intentional. Couples hire me because I communicate clearly, show up prepared, and deliver a ceremony that actually reflects their story. If you’d like to check availability, reach out, and I’ll send next steps along with a link to schedule a quick, no-pressure call (Zoom, FaceTime, or in person). That gives us both a chance to make sure it’s a good fit. Whether you’re planning something simple or a full traditional wedding, I’ll help you make it memorable for the right reasons. I look forward to hearing your story.

Pastor Dusty’s officiating of our ceremony was the highlight of our wedding. We contacted him barely two weeks out, he heard our concerns and what kind of ceremony we wanted, and he was so responsive and receptive! We felt assured we made the right choice leading up to our day and on the day he really spoke to us and what we desired for our marriage. Thank you so so much Pastor Dusty!To anyone considering an open, kind, friendly, officiant for your wedding please don’t hesitate to book Pastor Dusty!

We absolutely loved Dusty! From our first zoom meeting we loved his personality and made us feel so comfortable. The wedding day was absolutely amazing, he kept our ceremony short and sweet like we talked about while still making it personal and memorable. Our family and friends loved him! Thank you so much Dusty for everything!
