Trillium Ceremonies

Congratulations on your engagement!

Whether it has been a long time coming, or is a spur of the moment decision, your wedding ceremony is an incredibly personal and important experience! As a non-denominational wedding officiant, I craft unique marriage, vow renewal, and commitment ceremonies that honor your own beliefs and traditions. My philosophy is that couples should have as much (or as little) input as desired in creating their ceremony. I'm comfortable with both longer and shorter ceremonies (there are only a few pieces of a wedding ceremony required by law) and am happy to officiate before crowds of any size. 

If you are coming from out of town, I'm also happy to help you locate local vendors. A recent bridal party used the salon I recommended and their hair and make-up was gorgeous!

Western North Carolina is a beautiful place to get married year-round. From indoor locations (historic inns, Biltmore Estate, Bohemian Hotel, castle-like venues, mountaintop cabins) to outdoor locations with unforgettable scenery (Blue Ridge Parkway, Pisgah National Forest, Linville Gorge, waterfalls, mountaintops, meadows, your backyard, and even during a private Hot Air Balloon flight!), there is a perfect spot for every couple. And for the budget conscious, many outloor locations are free if your group is small!

If you are interested in learning more about whether I am the right fit for your ceremony, please call or email me. There's more information on my website http://sites.google.com/site/trilliumceremonies, including sample vows and readings.

I look forward to hearing from you and wish you the best!

Sincerely,

Melissa Smith, PhD
