NC Weddings of Distinction

Officiant · Charlotte, NC

I (Julie Furr) specialize in creating and officiating custom wedding ceremonies, designed especially for each couple’s wants and needs. I marry ALL couples with ALL kinds of traditions. It is the couple's decision whether or not to include any spiritual or religious elements. The focus of the ceremony is the love between the two who are joining in marriage. We will meet (virtually or in person, free consultation) to talk through possibilities for this unique ceremony. I provide a digital Ceremony Planning Form from which I create a custom ceremony draft!

Julie was the perfect officiant for our ceremony. She was so patient during the planning process and helped us create our dream ceremony. She was punctual, professional, and we are so glad we chose her.

My wife and I had our wedding back in October of 2024. We planned on trying to contact a few wedding officiants in order to find the best option for us. We ended up getting in contact with Julie Furr and reached out to her first. We did not need to look any further as she was a pleasure to talk to over the phone and made things simple. She did an absolute fantastic job before, during, and after our ceremony. I would highly recommend going with her, as she will not disappoint!! She made things simple during what feels like a chaotic time when planning a wedding!

Julie was sweet, professional, creatively refreshing in her approach to the ceremony, and easy to work with. She did a wonderful job this past weekend for Elaine and Buddy's big day!

As all of the other reviews accurately reflect, Julie is PHENOMENAL! From our initial video call where she made my new husband and me laugh with her Princess Bride impression, I knew she had exactly the quirky and warm energy we wanted to feel on such an important day. Her process of getting to know what's important for your day is streamlined but thoughtful - exactly what you need in the midst of planning! Thank you Julie!

Julie was a joy to work with! We reached out to her for our very laid back and informal wedding, and she was so accommodating. I’d recommend her to anyone looking for an officiant.

Julie with NC Weddings of Distinction helped make our special day a very special memory. As a gay couple, of course we had the anxiety of trying to find a wedding officiant who would be inclusive, understanding and supportive. When we came across Julie's website, we instantly became somewhat relieved and hopeful due to her site content and what seemed like a perfect person to make our day official. Then with our first meeting with her via videocall, our hopefulness turned into sheer relief and happiness that we had found our perfect officiant. Julie was organized, professional, caring and totally open to making sure our dream day was exactly what we wanted. Other officiants that we talked with kept trying to fit our wedding day into a "package" or some sort of traditional vision of what they expected our day to be. Julie was total opposite and took our lead and drove the vision based on what WE wanted for our day, offering counsel when we had questions and always circling back to our vision and hopes. She understood quickly that we did not want a stereotypical wedding ceremony, and that our vision was an elegant cocktail and dinner event with close family and friends ... that just so happened to have a wedding ceremony incorporated into the evening. Julie took time to get to know us as individuals and as a couple, using that information to create a story or narrative that incorporated our personalities and dreams with touches of love, laughter and heartfelt tears in nearly all guests' eyes. Julie was an essential element in our day that made our "ceremony" unique and memorable for the rest of our lives.

Julie was the perfect addition to our wedding day! She made the ceremony so fun and made my husband and I feel so comfortable. The words of wisdom she had us complete was a great way to get to know us better and communicate that with our guests. I absolutely loved our ceremony and all of our guests said it captured who Jason and I are as a couple perfectly. She was super responsive and helpful throughout the whole process too. Thank you so much, Julie!

Julie was perfect for what we were looking for!! My husband and I are not religious and we were looking for an officiant who was comfortable with performing meaningful ceremonies without religious undertones. From the beginning Julie got on a video call with us to understand what we were looking for and she did it perfectly!! We were told by multiple people from our wedding that it was one of the most sincere, loving ceremonies they have seen. Julie had the perfect delivery of sentimental and comedic moments. 10/10 would recommend!!

I can't say enough good things about Julie !!! From the moment we reached out to her to the actual wedding day, she was very welcoming & so very helpful. She prepared a beautiful and personalized ceremony for us, and her valuable insight made all the difference in the world. We were both previously married, but we really had no idea what kind of ceremony we wanted, and Julie guided us to where we needed to be. We will forever be grateful that Julie was part of our special day. She just has a wonderful personality & she has that special quality that makes people feel so comfortable. Julie is the best !!!

Julie was absolutely wonderful to work with! She took the time to get to know us first and then sent us a questionnaire to answer for our ceremony. She went over the service with us before the wedding to make sure everything was to our liking. During the service she was professional and had great energy. I highly recommend Julie!

On June 25. Julie preformed our wedding ceremony. Words can't describe what an amazing and beautiful job she did. She did everything with her sense of detail. Julie was personable and professional. The vows were exactly what we asked for and done with our sense of humor. Please do answer the questions she asks about your relationship and each other. Julie was very creative with the answers. I could go on and on but if you want an officiant that's everything you can want Call Julie. answered on

Working with Julie was great. I love that her forms are thorough and help her truly get a sense of the couple and what they are wanting. Her services can easily be tailored and she never pushed a particular feel for the ceremony. All communication was prompt and she worked well with last minute changes at the venue. We could not have asked for a better officiant for our special day. Julie truly captured what my husband and I were looking for and helped amplify our love for one another during our vows.

Julie was an absolutely wonderful addition to our wedding! We loved meeting up with Julie in the planning stage of our wedding, allowing us to get to know her and she got to know us. My partner and I completed a pre-wedding survey and worked with Julie to get the scripting/vows we wanted. We had great feedback from our guests about Julie and appreciated all that she did for our special day. Thank you!

Julie was an awesome officiant for our wedding. She is super flexible and makes you feel at ease from the moment you meet her. Julie will help you customize your dream ceremony. We chose to not recite our own vows, but thanks to her, our ceremony was still very intimate and personal. Julie is so professional and everything you need from your officiant as an important part of your perfect day!

Julie was amazing and instrumental in making our special day wonderful. She married us not just once, but twice - first in a civil ceremony and then a year later in front of all of our friends and family. Julie was incredibly helpful in guiding us to create a personalized ceremony. Our families and friends kept remarking how special and unique the ceremony was, and in how it captured our personalities and love for each other. Julie was also incredibly flexible in listening to what we were looking for, and above all, so very calming on the day of. Thank you Julie for everything! Lauren and Matt
