Gwen Downs, Wedding Celebrant

Gwen will customize every element of your ceremony with your collaboration, assist you with the traditional elements you'd like to include, write your love story, ask members of your family and friends for their input, and tell it the way it happened to the delight of everyone in attendance. You and your guests will remember feeling riveted, engaged, and moved by your wedding ceremony for years to come.

Gwen serves many religious affiliations as well as non-religious, interfaith, spiritual-but-not-religious, and LGBTQ+ couples. Her process includes a no-obligation consultation, 1-hour ceremony planning session, unlimited script revisions, an open editing process, continuous communication via phone/email, complete rehearsal, travel fees, legal filing of your marriage license in North Carolina, a backup officiant (just in case), and a guarantee that you'll absolutely love your ceremony.

Besides performing custom ceremonies at large venues, Gwen also performs simple license signing and romantic elopement ceremonies at her Holly Springs location, and micro wedding ceremonies at parks, backyards, and restaurants.
