"If you are looking to stun your guests with the most amazing ceremony, look no further! Our experience with Kevin was so enjoyable and seamless. We really enjoyed our conversations with Kevin as we made our way through our wedding year. He took the time to get to know us as a couple so he could really capture our story in the ceremony. We received SO many compliments from wedding guests on his execution and most thought he was a close friend in the way he spoke and delivered (he is now, wink wink)."

Michelle Coburn did a FABULOUS job of officiating our ceremony. Her careful attention to tone, inflection, speed, and pitch all shinned brightly as she officiated the ceremony. Her presence and contagious positive energy could be felt throughout the occasion. Highly recommend her services!

REV. DOUG HAMMACK

Rev. Hammack is fully ordained and licensed to perform weddings throughout the United States. He has led Common Thread, a spiritual community in Raleigh for 30 years, through a process of fundamentally rethinking what it means to be religious, what it means to be spiritual. Because the community has been integrating universal truths into their practice together, he has led hundreds of weddings for people across the whole spectrum of spiritual traditions. He has led simple non-religious weddings, non-denominational and traditional-religion ceremonies (and a whole spectrum in between). Doug is well-versed in all major world religions and always works closely with couples to make sure the ceremony is theirs and that it represents them well.

Based in Raleigh, Doug is available throughout the Triangle area of Raleigh, Durham, Chapel Hill and surrounding communities.

I am not exaggerating when I say that the most compliments I have received about our wedding have been about Doug and the ceremony. People said it was one of the best they have ever been to and that is was personal and engaging. We loved being able to have input into the ceremony and the questionnaire we filled out ahead of time really allowed Doug to create a really special ceremony based on our responses. We incorporated some "audience participation" and Doug was 100% on board - it went amazingly on the day of! I am truly so so thankful that we chose Personal Weddings NC and would recommend them (and Doug specifically) without hesitation to anyone planning their wedding.

"Becky's warmth, kindness, and thoughtful words made our ceremony truly unforgettable. We are so grateful for the time and care she took to craft a ceremony that reflected our love and values. Her presence and guidance on such an important day meant the world to us, and we feel incredibly fortunate to have had her lead us into this new chapter of our lives together. Our friends and family have been raving about our ceremony and how well and smoothly it went, in large part due to you! We are so grateful!"
