“Julie with NC Weddings of Distinction helped make our special day a very special memory.
As a gay couple, of course we had the anxiety of trying to find a wedding officiant who would be inclusive, understanding and supportive. When we came across Julie's website, we instantly became somewhat relieved and hopeful due to her site content and what seemed like a perfect person to make our day official. Then with our first meeting with her via videocall, our hopefulness turned into sheer relief and happiness that we had found our perfect officiant. Julie was organized, professional, caring and totally open to making sure our dream day was exactly what we wanted. Other officiants that we talked with kept trying to fit our wedding day into a "package" or some sort of traditional vision of what they expected our day to be. Julie was total opposite and took our lead and drove the vision based on what WE wanted for our day, offering counsel when we had questions and always circling back to our vision and hopes.
She understood quickly that we did not want a stereotypical wedding ceremony, and that our vision was an elegant cocktail and dinner event with close family and friends ... that just so happened to have a wedding ceremony incorporated into the evening. Julie took time to get to know us as individuals and as a couple, using that information to create a story or narrative that incorporated our personalities and dreams with touches of love, laughter and heartfelt tears in nearly all guests' eyes.
Julie was an essential element in our day that made our "ceremony" unique and memorable for the rest of our lives.”
