Congratulations On Your Upcoming Celebration Of Love!

Serving as your professional Wedding Officiant is both a privilege and a heartfelt honor as you embark on this beautiful, lifelong journey together.

Though the ceremony may be the quiet beginning to your celebration, it holds some of the most meaningful, emotional, and memorable moments you’ll share — it truly is the heart of your entire wedding day.

What Would Your Ideal Ceremony Look Like?

If you value the content and heart of your ceremony and want it to be truly one-of-a-kind, you’ve come to the right place. Whether you’re planning a grand celebration or an intimate elopement, Bonnie will craft a ceremony that is genuine, uniquely yours, and infused with love.

Bonnie takes the time to connect with you personally, offering thoughtful ideas and inspiring options you may never have considered — or even knew existed. While most couples have a vision for how they want their wedding day to unfold, the ceremony itself is often overlooked… unless you’ve been to a few weddings and taken notes!

In addition to delivering your beautifully written ceremony with professionalism and heart, don’t be surprised if a touch of unexpected humor is woven into the moment.

Whether your wedding is formal and dignified, casual and lighthearted, or traditionally untraditional (Bonnie’s specialty!), a little fun at the altar goes a long way in helping you relax and truly savor those once-in-a-lifetime moments.

Let Bonnie honor your love with a ceremony that reflects the uniqueness of your story and your personalities.

ROMANTIC FUN FACT:  Pucker Up—It’s Part of the Process! 💋
Bonnie is a self-proclaimed Kiss Konnoisseur (yes, with a “K”)!  When you work with Weddings by Bonnie, your Raleigh-based Wedding Officiant, you will complete a ceremony preference questionnaire, so your ceremony can be tailored just for you. Your first and most important homework assignment: Practice your kiss.  
Bonnie believes every ceremony should end with a romantic, memorable kiss—one that truly fits the moment. If your first kiss isn’t “wow-worthy” as you seal your vows…don’t be surprised if Bonnie asks for a do-over...all in the name of love! Browse through the site for more “Kissing Konnoisseur” fun facts!

Testimonial from Craig & Elizabeth
Married February 16, 2025
Nova 535, St. Petersburg, FL

Our Officiant, Bonnie, crafted the most heartfelt and touching ceremony, and her performance was truly magical! We were so incredibly happy with how romantic and intimate our ceremony turned out to be.

We thought about asking a family member but decided not to put a task upon a guest. We wanted someone who would be open to a non-traditional ceremony. When we met Bonnie – Wow! We were blown out of the water! … Read More
