Hi, I’m Carla, a legally authorized wedding officiant based in the Washington D.C. area. I’m all about creating moments that feel genuine and joyful. While I primarily serve the District of Columbia, Maryland, Virginia, and West Virginia, I’m always up for an adventure. I’m passport ready and happy to travel wherever love takes you. For couples coming from out of town, I can help set up your elopement, connect you with trusted local vendors, and guide you through the marriage license process so everything feels smooth and stress-free.

I worked with Carla on two weddings. I enjoyed her easy going professionalism and felt at ease with her and her wedding planning team. They are the best in the DMV and I’m happy that they wanted me to share my skills. She was easy to schedule time with to discuss any questions and share my concerns. I especially liked that she met with me and told me the details of the couple, the layout of the location and where the best vantage points were to ensure that I captured the key moments during the ceremony. She also walked me around the area with the couple so that we could all get to know each other and form a good connection. During the ceremony, she gave good cues that were discreet and helpful to ensure that I was well positioned. Afterwards, she reached out to confirm expected dates and payment for my services.

She really took the time to understand what we wanted, and that care showed through in every part of the ceremony…even down to getting it finished and us pronounced right at 11:11!

When signing letters to my mother, my father always signed them, "As Ever, Ed." One day she asked him why he didn't end the letters with, "Love, Ed." He replied that "As Ever" means that he was and will be always as ever in love with her. Our sincere wish for all couples is to always be As Ever in Love.

Laura Ballou provided a truly loving, joyful, and meaningful ceremony for our wedding day. Her communication during the planning process was clear and the message she delivered was heartfelt, personal, and felt like a true blessing. Her presence made our day extra special. We couldn't have asked for a better officiate to join us in marriage.
