    Working alongside More Than Words was an absolute pleasure. As a fellow vendor in the wedding industry, I truly appreciate when collaboration feels seamless—and that’s exactly what this experience was. From the moment we connected, they were communicative, punctual, and incredibly easy to work with. Their approach to officiating is both heartfelt and professional. You can tell they genuinely care about the couples they serve. The ceremony was beautifully crafted—personal, meaningful, and delivered with warmth. Our mutual clients were thrilled, and their joy was evident throughout the day. What stood out most was the officiant’s friendly demeanor and calm presence. They handled their responsibilities with grace and reliability, making the entire process stress-free for everyone involved. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend More Than Words to any couple looking for a caring and capable officiant in North Carolina.
