As a minister (and now wedding officiant) with over fifteen years of experience helping couples celebrate their love for each other and their children, Reverend Lodge has an extensive background with weddings, vow renewals, commitment ceremonies and christenings. Your ceremony will be far more meaningful to you and your guests if it is designed to include the special things that make you unique and your family and guests will delight in the unexpected warmth and intimacy that this kind of celebration naturally creates.

In this short video of a wedding written by Reverend Lodge, you can see and hear how the love and sincerity of the couple were mirrored in the words of the ceremony and in their vows, which added to the emotional impact of the wedding. This lovely video, created by Heart Stone Films, beautifully captures the heartfelt emotions of the day, which is exactly what Reverend Lodge works to achieve with all her ceremonies.

An example of a review on WeddingWire.com, from Maryann and John;

“We couldn't be happier that Rev. Barbara Lodge performed our wedding ceremony for us. We have received many compliments on the beautiful and heartwarming ceremony. It was quite moving and very personalized. We attribute this to the time that Barbara took to learn more about us as a couple.

Rev. Lodge is a true professional. She provided guidance and clear direction to us throughout the wedding planning process. She gave us a tool kit which contained a CD with suggested readings, vows, songs, etc. Her command of runnning a wedding ceremony was evident during our rehearsal. The detailed and well-run rehearsal truly helped us to relax and enjoy our ceremony!

We highly recommend Rev. Lodge to any couple looking for a kind, caring and organized professional who delivers beautiful and memorable wedding ceremonies.”

Reverend Barbara Lodge is Chosen for The Knot Best of Weddings 2012

“We asked recent brides to rate and review their wedding professionals and Reverend Barbara Lodge was chosen the top wedding minister in North Carolina.”

An example of a review on The Knot / WeddingChannel.com, from Carolyn and Mike;

“My husband and I would highly recommend Reverend Lodge. Her positive energy is evident from the first moment you meet her, and she makes you feel completely comfortable as you decide what you want in your wedding ceremony. Reverend Lodge has numerous materials and unique ideas you can use and also is great at running with your ideas. My husband and I are both lawyers (so we are very picky about word choice), but the ceremony she put together for us was absolutely perfect. The ceremony truly reflected both my husband and myself, and everyone at the wedding commented on what a wonderful job she did. Our best wedding decision was choosing Reverend Lodge as our officiant - she is positive, professional, and calming.”
