WEDDINGS, ELOPEMENTS, VOW RENEWALS, AND MORE
Whether you are planning a full wedding celebration, a private elopement, a vow renewal, or something that honors your traditions, your faith, or your family in a way that is completely your own, I will write and officiate a ceremony built around your story.
I serve couples throughout Raleigh, Durham, Chapel Hill, Cary, and all across North Carolina.

Every ceremony I officiate starts with a conversation. I want to hear how you met, what your relationship is like, and what this day means to you. From there, I write a ceremony that reflects who you are as a couple. You review it, we revise it together, and by your wedding day, every word feels right.
I officiate religious, spiritual, secular, and blended ceremonies. I have co-officiated alongside Rabbis, Priests, and Shamans. I have performed ceremonies in multiple languages with translators. I have incorporated unity rituals, family recognitions, cultural traditions, and elements that couples created entirely on their own. If there is something meaningful you want included, we will find a way to make it work.
I have been doing this since 2014 and have officiated nearly 2,000 ceremonies across three states. I carry more than 1,500 five-star reviews on Google, Wedding Wire, and The Knot. I have worked with couples who planned for over a year and couples who called me with 48 hours to spare. The timeline, the guest count, and the setting are always different. The care I put into each ceremony is not.
Ceremonies start at $450. Pricing varies based on ceremony type, location, travel, and any extras. Reach out and I will give you a clear quote with everything spelled out.
Big or small, formal or barefoot. Full ceremony writing, rehearsal coordination, and a calm presence so you can stay in the moment.
Just the two of you, or a handful of your favorite people. Intimate ceremonies with the same heart and care as a larger celebration.

"Our guests are still asking how we are related, or how long we have known her. She captured our love story beautifully and had everyone laughing, crying, and cheering for us. Guests said they had never attended a wedding with a ceremony style like Bonnie's and said it was the most enjoyable they had ever heard."

I would love to hear what you are planning.
