About Summit Weddings & Elopements

Summit Weddings & Elopements

Lead Officiant

I am Holland, a wedding officiant based in West Virginia who serves couples all along the East Coast. I create custom ceremonies that feel true to who you are. 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. With over one hundred weddings of experience, I offer full support, thoughtful planning, and meaningful words that reflect your story and your values.

Every ceremony I write is personal and unique. I take time to understand your story and create something that feels real, beautiful, and full of heart. I welcome all traditions and offer spiritual, symbolic, and creative elements like handfasting or unity rituals. My goal is to help you feel seen, supported, and deeply connected as you begin your next chapter together. This is more than a service. It is a sacred moment, and I am honored to be part of it.

In three words: Empathetic, Innovative, Supportive

    Groom

    Summit Weddings & Elopements was an absolute joy to work with. From our first interaction, Holly was incredibly personable, charismatic and fun - putting us at ease and making the whole process feel lighthearted and joyful. Their devotion to their craft was evident in the pure, heartfelt ceremony they delivered. They thoughtfully remembered to incorporate special words and phrases we had used with each other, making the ceremony feel deeply personal and meaningful. We are so grateful to Summit Weddings & Elopements for helping to make our special day truly unforgettable.

    Excellent Personalized Service With a Smile!!!

    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.

    Personal and Professional

    Holland really took the time to get to know us and it showed in every part of the ceremony. She asked questions we hadn’t even thought about and had us learning more about our relationship through the process. On the day of our wedding, it honestly felt like she was an old friend. A bunch of our guests even asked how long we’d known her. The ceremony felt like us, not just something generic. She brought such a calm and kind energy and made the whole thing feel really special. We’re so glad we found her.

    Honest to goodness the best decision we made

    We didn’t really know what to expect when we decided to elope, but finding Holland was like a gift. From the start she was warm and real and never made us feel like we had to do things a certain way. She asked thoughtful questions and really got to know us before writing the ceremony. The day itself was more emotional than we expected. Holland showed up early, helped us stay calm, and somehow made the woods feel like a space just for us. The ceremony wasn’t stiff or overly formal it felt like home. Like our love was actually understood. We are so grateful. We keep saying to each other, “can you believe how right that felt?” If you’re even half thinking about booking Holland, just do it and know she is worth it!

Yes, I do offer rehearsal support. While it’s not included in the base cost of my ceremony services, I’m happy to provide rehearsal guidance as an add-on. My approach focuses on walking you, your parents, vendors, and your wedding party through the flow of the ceremony so that everyone feels confident and grounded on the big day. Pricing for rehearsals varies depending on the day of the week, time, and location—feel free to reach out for a custom quote based on your plans.
Absolutely. Many couples choose to have a meaningful ceremony after their legal marriage—whether it’s to celebrate with loved ones, honor their spiritual beliefs, or simply create a more personal and intentional experience. I’ll treat your ceremony with the same care and customization as any other, crafting a moment that reflects your love and commitment, no matter when the paperwork was signed.
