Welcome to Reverend Elizabeth A. Kelly, Wedding Officiant

Your wedding day ceremony shouldn't feel like a rigid lecture-it should feel like the ultimate kickoff to your celebration! Based in Mount Airy, NC and serving couples all across North Carolina, I specialize in creating modern, non-traditional, and story driven ceremonies tailored to your exact values and beliefs.

While I am a Seminary-trained, legally ordained minister with the deep professional background required to command a small or large crowd and seamlessly manage timeline logistics, my heart is in crafting fresh, interactive scripts. Whether you are hosting a small intimate wedding or 200+ guests at an expansive destination estate like The Barn at Heritage Farm in Dobson, NC or celebrating at a chic urban venue in Charlotte, Raleigh, Greensboro, Winston Salem or Asheville, I ensure your altar presence is polished, sophisticated, and entirely unique to you.

Frequently Asked Questions

What types of weddings do you officiate?

Reverend Kelly officiates all types of weddings, including traditional, non-traditional, modern, LGBTQ+, vow renewals, and also re-marriage weddings that need to be redone due to an online Universal Life Church marriage (ULC) or an AMM Ministries online marriage that are now voidable by the NC Supreme Court. Check your marriage license and see if the officiant was either a ULC or AMM minister. If your friend or family went online and paid to be an instant minister, then the marriage is voidable. You must get re-married by a licensed and ordained minister to marry you. Reverend Kelly is licensed and legally ordained and went to Seminary. Reverend Kelly marries all faith's except the Jewish faith because of the reading of the Tora in another language. All 6 wedding packages and what's included in each package and prices can be found on Wedding Packages Page 1 and Page 2.

How far in advance should we book our ceremony?

It is recommended to book your ceremony at least 3 months to 6 months in advance to secure your desired date and time. But she has been known to do a wedding in a week or even 3 days later from getting the call. As long as Reverend Kelly can meet with the couple before the wedding and discuss matters and make sure the couple check out and they have their marriage license, 2 witnesses, and Reverend Kelly thinks they are ready for marriage, then it doesn't need to be any time at all.

Can we personalize our ceremony vows?

Yes, you can personalize your ceremony vows to reflect your beliefs, values, and love story. Reverend Kelly can help you write your vows if you are having trouble. You need to make an appointment with Rev. Kelly who will help you with your vows and go over your ceremony together to incorporate your vows into the custom written ceremony. If you get a Commitment Ceremony, Large Wedding Simple Service, Grand Wedding Full Service package or the Out Of State or Out of Country Wedding Service the cost is included with the rate. Packages that don't include Vow Writing Help include the Small Wedding/Elopement Simple Service, or Bare Bones Full Wedding package. To include Vow Writing Help in those packages the cost is $40.

What other things do you offer besides weddings?

I am also a Personal Assistant who will come to your home and help with your finances by paying your monthly bills with your checkbook, balance your checkbook, take the dogs out and help with your cats needs, I can help with light cleaning, taking you to your doctors appointments, go grocery shopping for you, and help you with anything else that you need help with. I also do home, business and apartment blessings, and pet funerals. When you get a new home or apartment, I come in with Holy water and bless each room and outside. When you start a new business I bless all the equipment and put Holy water in each room and say special prayers dedicated to businesses to have a profitable and successful business. Pet funerals are getting more and more common these days. After the pet passes away, and after they are buried I will perform a pet funeral and blessing just as if they were my own loved one. I am also certified to perform pre-marriage and marriage counseling that is usually for an hour or a little longer. I charge by the session, not the hour like most marriage counselors do. Couples tend to talk more when they don't have to watch the clock. They are more relaxed. Prices for all these services I offer are located on the Services page.
