Lem LeRoy - Wedding Officiant

Waxhaw, NC
  • Offers 10 ceremony types
  • Starts at $250

I am an ordained minister based in the Charlotte metropolitan area. I've served a local church as a minister and music director in the region for over 20 years. I've had over 30 years experience of helping couples plan and facilitate their wedding ceremony, in grand or intimate venues, either as an officiant or as a musician. I grew up in a small town outside of Athens, GA and graduated from the University of Georgia (GO DAWGS) in 1995 with a Bachelor of Music degree concentrating in piano and voice. I've been married since 2006 to my wife, Ellen and we have three beautiful children: Kate, Meredith, and Owen.

Our chosen officiant flaked out a month before the wedding and luckily, Lem was available. I already knew vendor quick response time, a contract and more good reviews than bad were requirements. Lem fit all these; was friendly, helpful and rates were reasonable and average. Lem stood out to me because another officiant recommended him. He listened to our needs and was a total professional on the wedding day. A great choice.

Let's Get Married! was absolutely wonderful to work with for our wedding ceremony. From the very first interaction, the officiant was extremely responsive and quick to reply to all of our questions. We only had a few days to get married when I got the ship out date, and she was able to make it work seamlessly, providing everything we needed to make our special day perfect. The officiant was so nice and didn't push her own ideas, but rather made great suggestions that fit our vision. As a military couple, we really appreciated how excited she was to make our wedding day truly special. Overall, the officiant's knowledge and professionalism were top-notch, and we couldn't have asked for a better experience.

New Paltz, NY

  • Starts at $300

Terence Ward, the founder of Weddings in the Gunks, believes that everyone deserves to have this important moment in their story celebrated with a healthy mix of dignity and joy. Exactly what's in that mix is more up to the clients than anybody else. It can include sacred religious moments like blessing the couple or fasting their hands, science fiction elements like a Bajoran blessing, time-honored traditions such as breaking a glass, and remembering loved ones who are no longer with us.

Terence is fabulous! My husband and I got married with a surprise elopement on New Year's Eve in 2021, and Terence acted with such professionalism and discretion (which was appreciated, hence the surprise). Planning/coordinating was easy - he was quick to communicate with/respond to us about details regarding the ceremony, which was wildly helpful, as we planned our elopement just 1 month in advance! My husband and I were very nervous before our ceremony, and Terence's warm, friendly demeanor helped us feel more comfortable and at ease. I would definitely recommend Terence's officiant services to other couples. Whether you're planning a traditional ceremony or a simple elopement, he'll do a great job for you!

Performing wedding ceremonies is one of the most joyous & rewarding activities that I have the privilege of participating in!

Rev. Deanna Lancaster was a pleasure and an honor to work with. She provided a ton of scripts of ceremonies she has performed for us to build our ceremony off of. We didn't realize we had the option to use prewritten vows until we read her scripts and that was a relief to discover. Choosing her was one of the best decisions we could have made because our ceremony is still my favorite part of the entire day. We made a Frankenstein of a script from all the ones she provided, she sent her updates, and we got a the exact ceremony we wanted. She knew to move out of the way for the ceremony kiss and performed the ceremony beautifully. After the ceremony, she handled our marriage license (in an extremely timely manner) and let us know as soon as everything was finalized and official!

Why settle for the same clichéd, predictable service everyone else uses? You're unique, and your wedding should be, too. I'll work with you to design the perfect ceremony to match your own individual style and personality.

The comfort and ease that Dave brought to the wedding with his reassuring, “I’ve got this, whatever you want, it’s your wedding” attitude was exactly what an anxious bride needed. We are not a religious couple, nor are we especially romantic, but we still wanted a traditional, classic ceremony. That balance was perfectly achieved because Dave actively listens to his clients and offers a variety of unique options. I cannot overstate how much overthinking and stressing I did about every other aspect of the wedding, but I was so relaxed and confident that the ceremony would be perfect, and I was right. Over a year later my husband and I still talk about how the ceremony was the best part of the night. If you’re looking for an officiant who will come to you with an open mind, no judgement, and genuine care, there is no better person than David Lang.

From the very beginning, he took the time to really get to know us meeting with us multiple times over Zoom and then in person leading up to the wedding.

Choosing Dawn from Sunrise Vows & Seals was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. From our very first phone call, her warmth and kindness shone through, and I immediately knew she was the perfect fit for us. Dawn made us feel like family throughout the entire process, and I truly couldn’t have asked for a better officiant. She crafted a beautiful, heartfelt ceremony that perfectly captured our relationship and made sure everything flowed seamlessly. When unexpected challenges arose, Dawn went above and beyond — even stepping in to MC our reception after our DJ had to cancel. If I could give her 100 stars, I would. While I hope to never need her services again (for obvious reasons!), if I did, I would choose her again without hesitation. I wholeheartedly recommend Dawn to anyone looking for an officiant in Colorado. She is truly exceptional.

Whether you are eloping in the woods or planning an wedding surrounded by all of your loved ones, I bring a calm and caring presence to your day.

Summit Weddings & Elopements were an exceptional choice for our wedding officiant. From the very beginning, their communication style was honest, realistic, and showed true integrity. The value and quality of their work was amazing - they went the extra mile to ensure our special day was perfect. For example, they helped us find a hairdresser for our remote location and handled the inclement weather at our outdoor venue with great grace and professionalism. The officiant, Holland Hook, is a truly inspired individual who made the wedding prep and planning process seamless. Our photos were of exceptional quality, and everything Summit Weddings & Elopements touched made our day absolutely perfect and memorable. We couldn't have asked for a better team to officiate our wedding.

We couldn't have asked for a more perfect officiant for our Florida beach wedding. From our very first interaction, she was attentive, professional, and genuinely full of love. Her dedication to making our special day memorable was evident in every detail. She sent us a thoughtful questionnaire beforehand, which allowed her to craft personalized vows that truly reflected our relationship. Not only was her presence warm and caring, but even her outfit complemented our beach-themed celebration beautifully, adding to the overall magic of the day. We wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone looking for an officiant — she was, without a doubt, the best!

About wedding officiants

What kind of weddings can officiants help with?

We’re proud to offer officiants that offer secular weddings that focus on the couple’s love, commitment, and personal values; as well as officiants aligned with specific faiths. These officiants can perform ceremonies according to the traditions, rituals, and doctrines of that particular faith.

Can officiants help me with my vows?

We know that couples like private and personalized vows, and there are definitely some officiants who can help with this. We offer officiants on Zola that support non-secular ceremonies that allow you to tailor your vows and commitment in a memorable and meaningful way.
