North Carolina Wedding Minister

Rev. Lodge is absolutely fantastic. She takes the time to get to know you as individuals and as a couple. She writes you ceremony to include these intimate details to make it special. Many guests said that it was the most personal wedding they have been to. She also allows you to add your own touches like music, readings and special rituals.

Rev. Barbara Lodge is a absolutely fantastic person to work with. My husband and I had originally hired a different Officiant but when she backed out due to a scheduling conflict we had to search again and found Mrs. Lodge. Needless to say were glad our previous choice canceled on us. Rev. Barbara Lodge is very professional. I cannot say enough good things about her. But trust me if you hire her you WILL NOT be disappointed!

My fiance and I met with Barbara and knew that she was the one we wanted. She made us feel at home and also very special. I completely understand why she has received the Bride's Choice Award. She made the day of our wedding easy and we enjoyed her presence as we exchanged our vows. She is a wonderful woman and it was a delight to have her as our officiant.

My husband and I spent a great deal of time deciding what we wanted for our ceremony. We are from different religious backgrounds, and we wanted our ceremony to reflect our relationship together and our love for each other. After searching the internet for ministers that would perform non-religious ceremonies and finding the name of Rev. Lodge all of our hope and desires just seemed to be our reality. Rev. Lodge was so kind and open-minded to our vision for our day. Her meetings with us were so fun, and we loved sharing our love story with her. After the ceremony almost every single one of our 146 guests made it a point to say that our ceremony was the most "heart-felt/beautiful/sweet/touching/non-tradition/real/" of any wedding that they have ever been to. Even friends who were just married within the last year shared that this was the most beautiful ceremony that they had ever witnessed. People still talk to us about it. Choosing Rev. Lodge was probably the most important decision that we made throughout our wedding planning process. When you look back at your special day you will not care about what your center pieces look like, if your table arrangements were perfect, and if everyone liked your flowers. You will care about those most special words that you share with your spouse as you promise your life to him/her. Rev. Lodge gave my husband and I memories that we will treasure for a lifetime.

Barbara Lodge was amazing! She helped our ceremony run incredibly smoothly by preparing us well with all we needed to know and guiding people through the big day itself. Above that, she was incredibly warm and we felt very grateful to have her there sharing in our special day. She made it all a pleasure and gave us great piece of mind. Anyone who decides to work with Barbara would be making the right decision!!

Barbara is JUST spectacular! After the wedding is said and done, she is someone we can call a friend. She really took the time to get to know my husband and I during the process. She let us incorporate our own elements into the ceremony, and she really did make our wedding ceremony the absolute BEST part of the day. Barbara is so enthusiastic about her work, and it shows. Barbara is a must have at your ceremony!!! :)

We really enjoyed having Rev. Lodge officiate our wedding. We were a bit stressed during our wedding rehearsal, but her professionalism and warm demeanor helped calm our nerves. Soon everyone was having fun and we had the steps down after three goes. Everything went smoothly on our wedding day. She was fantastic! We couldn't have chosen a better person to lead us on our special day. Thanks so much! -B&C

Reverand Barbara Lodge was fantastic! She was very responsive, very professional, and she truly cared about making our wedding day special. Her ceremony packages are perfect for any couple and we could not have been happier with the words she spoke for us at our wedding. It was an honor having her officiate our ceremony.

Barbara was a joy to work with! She has a very comforting and reassuring personality. She was able to work within our tight budget and still deliver a touching ceremony. We would highly recommend her to any couple looking for an officiant.

Rev. Barabara Lodge was a wonderful officiant. She helped us prepare our vow renewal ceremony and was able to do all the planning with us long distance. The vows were beautiful as was the solemnity and sincerity she brought to the wedding. Through several email conversations, I felt I got to know her and she came to understand us, our relationship, and what we were looking to express in our wedding ceremony. I would highly recommend her!Elizabeth and Andrew Eisenhart, Shreveport, LA

We chose Barbara Lodge to perform our commitment ceremony and what a difference she made in our special day!She is one of the sweetest people we've ever met and was so in touch with what we needed.We found not only a wonderful minister but a friend for life!She planned everything out and gave us a package and a cd with guides for the vows,ring exchange,and so much more helpful information.We knew from the moment we met her she was the one! The best move you could ever make is to contact Barbara and let her make your wedding easier and more special!Words really can't explain Barbara Lodge!We're just so thankful we chose her and you will be too! Garnetta & Joanna

There really are no words to describe how truly wonderful Rev. Lodge was as our wedding officiant. I have never met someone with so much grace, poise, enthusiasm, kindness, understanding, openness and patience. I was truly sad to see the her leave after our wedding ended. I guarantee that you will never find someone as special as she is and she will go out of her way to make your wedding ceremony magical. We included our 5 year old daughter in our ceremony and Rev. Lodge had a way to even make her feel special and relaxed during the ceremony in front of over 100 family members and friends. We paid for our entire wedding ourselves, so we had to really watch the areas that we spent money on. This is the one area that was worth every bit of money that we spent!! Thank you from the bottom of our hearts!!! You are wonderful and we have been blessed to have you there as we began our new lives together as the Merritt family.

Rev. Barbara Lodge was the absolute best choice we could have made for our wedding officiant. I highly recommend her for anyone who is looking for an officiant. She was so nice and sweet every time we emailed or talked with her. She spoke the most beautiful words at our wedding, and the ceremony would not have been so special without her. She was quick to turn in the documents, and we received our certificate on the Friday after our wedding. We are so happy that Rev. Lodge agreed to officiate for us. She made our small wedding feel so special, and we hope to remember her precious words throughout our marriage.

We were so happy with Reverend Barbara Lodge and our beautiful wedding ceremony! I found her on Wedding Wire and she had so many glowing reviews, we just had to meet her. Barbara is patient, kind, professional, accommodating and very good at what she does! She provided us with a ton of information/inspiration to use and helped us design a ceremony that was meaningful and memorable, not only for us, but for our friends and family.Barbara is also extremely dependable and was always quick to answer my questions and to provide assistance via email, which is really important when planning a wedding! My husband and I would without a doubt recommend her to anyone needing a wedding minister.Thank you Barbara!

We are so happy that we chose Reverend Barbara Lodge as our officiant for our wedding. We had a wonderful wedding, and Barbara helped make our day that much more special. We can't say enough good things about Barbara.Reverend Lodge is extremely professional. She is highly organized, on time, and provided the perfect amount of communication, everything you would expect from someone who is providing a service you are paying for. The thing that sets Barbara apart is everything else she does on top of that. She is super easy to work work with, and is one of the kindest people you will ever meet. She is always happy and you can tell that she truly loves what she does for a living. You won't get a fake smile or a half efforted cover of kindness from Barbara as she doesn't have to pretend.At our first meeting we were a bit at a loss as we had no idea what we wanted for the ceremony. Barbara walked us through the entire process and effortlessly guided us step by step. Barbara came up with a wonderful ceremony customized specifically just for us. She even incorporated a special ove letter ceremony that we wanted to include. The thing that most impressed us about Barbara was her presence and delivery during the ceremony. She confidently and effortlessly gave a flawless ceremony. Her speech was perfect, she didn't mispronounce a name or even a single word.We couldn't have asked for a better officiant. We highly recommend Reverend Barbara Lodge with absolutely zero reservation.

Barbara is so sweet and sincere. Working with her made our special day perfect.

Barbara is extremely friendly, organized, and helpful. I would recommend her to anyone looking for an officiant in the area. She can tailor your ceremony however you like or she has a short and sweet script that worked great for us. She will make you feel relaxed, and she really knows what she's doing. You'll be in good hands with Barbara.

We found Rev. Lodge through a referral at a wedding trade show. The referrer told us great things about Rev. Lodge and we were very pleased to find that all of them were true. From the first meeting we found Rev. Lodge to be warm and friendly. She provided us with all the tools and advice we, as a newly engaged couple, needed to help us through the planning of our wedding. Rev. Lodge responded whenever we had questions and was helpful at every opportunity. Our wedding day was perfect and the service, which was meticulously planned by Rev. Lodge, went better than we both could of hoped for. We highly recommend Rev. Lodge for any officiant needs.

Rev. Barbara Lodge was PERFECT for us!! She is so special on so many levels, but I will tell you that beyond the standards, she will do anything to make your day easier. She was professional and kind and gentle with us through the whole process, but I have panic disorder and on the day of the wedding my medication was making me feel so sick... we just got married two days ago and it was an outdoor ceremony during the hottest August on record in NC. At one point I must have looked like I was going to faint because she gently turned to me and mouthed "Are you okay?" - I nodded, she smiled, and totally put me at ease. SHE WILL TAKE CARE OF EVERYTHING INCLUDING YOU!!! Love her!!!

Barbara was absolutely wonderful. I live in California but got married in North Carolina, so I had to do all the wedding planning from across the country. She is very organized and made the process very easy, even though we had to do most of the work via phone and email. She was especially good at running the rehearsal as I did not have a wedding planner. The ceremony was beautiful and we got lots of compliments...she helped make our day exactly what we wanted and I highly recommend her!

Barbara was wonderful and helpful to put together a very personal and unforgettable ceremony.She even made excellent suggestions that made it unique and special, like having a interpreter to Spanish for my side of the family. We had very nice comments from our guest, and everything became so nice and emotional that everybody had tears in their eyes.

At our wedding, Barbara Lodge made my husband and me feel like she had known us for our entire lives. She spoke beautiful words about us based upon the information we gave her and she was extremely helpful when we wanted to say our own vows to each other. Prior to the wedding, Barbara was responsive and always willing to reply to any question we had about our service, no matter how small the issue. She was truly a very important person in our wedding.

If you want a personalized wedding that tells the story of how you came together and what the day means to you, give Rev Lodge a call. Our ceremony was amazing, it was the first thing that people commented on. For those that knew only one of us before the ceremony they all said they felt like they knew us both when Rev Lodge finished. She captured our very long history together, how we got together, and how much everyone attending met to us. In all of the weddings I have attended previously, I had never heard one this personal. It captured us beautifully. She was not only open to what we wanted to include but ok with items we wanted to exclude. She did an amazing job.

I could go on for days about how wonderful Rev. Lodge is! She is the sweetest and most loving lady! My husband and I felt so blessed to have Rev. Lodge marry us. She did a fantastic job and truly made our ceremony perfect. Rev. Lodge really got to know us as a couple and built a beautiful ceremony around the information we shared. We cannot thank her enough for all that she has done for us and we will definitely stay in touch with her. I would recommend Rev. Lodge to anyone!

Rev. Lodge was extremely professional. She took the time to sit down with us to find out about us and what was important in our lives and relationship. She then took this information and wrote a very personalized ceremony, which we received many compliments on. Rev. Lodge is an excellent speaker and was able to guide us through our ceremony easily, providing many tips to make the ceremony flow smoothly.

Rev. Barbara Lodge did a wonderful job getting to know us before our wedding, and capturing the spirit and meaning of our wedding in a beautiful service. This was a second marriage for both of us, and Rev. Lodge understood how to incorporate our children in the ceremony with sensitivity. It was delightful working with her - she is professional, creative, and well-organized. We would recommend her highly.

Barbara was such a wonderful person to work with for our wedding. We are so lucky to have found her. She is very professional and organized. She is also very genuine and kind hearted. She is someone that puts her whole heart into her career and we were very lucky to have her as our officiant. She will make sure that everything goes smoothly and the way you want things to go. Thanks so much Barbara!

Rev. Barbara Lodge was a joy to work with. We spent several hours in her home getting to know each other, and talking about what we wanted in our custom ceremony. She took on the hard task of making my husband and I who are non traditional and non religious and our conservative very religous families all happy. The ceremony was absolutely beautiful, my husband and I loved it and it felt so personal to us as a couple, and my family thought it was wonderful and beautiful as well. She is so easy to work with, and makes you feel so comfortable in a very stressful period of your life. I would recommend her services to anyone getting married, no matter what religion, race or creed.

Barbara Lodge officated our wedding ceremony on April 30th, 2011 at The Matthews House in Cary, North Carolina. We could not have asked for a better weddding day officiant as she was so professional, kind and sincere and had a manner of putting us both at ease. You can rest assured if you are so lucky to have Barbara at your wedding ceremony, that everything will turn out beatifully. -Lora Rowe

Barbara Lodge was amazing! I can't recommend her enough! Every detail was perfect and we are so grateful to her! We watch the tape over and over and her words bring tears to my eyes! It was perfection at work and absolutely divinely inspired! We were blessed to have her as our officiant and if you are looking for one for your wedding, look no further!

Barbara was great to work with! Our ceremony was perefect and so special to us....we highly recommend her as a wedding offciant!

We were very happy with the service provided. The ceremony was tailored to our beliefs and that made it very special to us. I would especially recommend her to couples who are looking for something other than traditional.

Rev. Lodge was fantastic! She only met us twice and made a wonderful personalized ceremony; you would have thought she knew us our whole life. She was very prompt with responding to our emails and answering any questions we had along the way. Wedding guests commented on how "comforting" she was and what a great job she did. I HIGHLY recommend her for your wedding ceremony.

Barbara did a wonderful officiating our private ceremony. She went along with our silly theme and made the ceremony very meaningful for both of us. We would highly recommend her services!

We really enjoyed working with Reverend Lodge. She asked for information for the ceremony that could allow her to bring a little of our personalities into a simple, short service. She captured our sense of humor and rolled with some of the funnies that inevitably ended up in the service.

Barbara was wonderful! Our wedding ceremony was personalized and she even took to the time to mention our pets in our ceremony. She gave great advice from writing our vows to giving tips on walking up the stairs in my wedding dress. My husband and I highly recommend her!

Reverand Barbara Lodge was absolutely wonderful to work with! She was everything we could have hoped for in an officient and so much more. Her experience, professionalism, and warm personality were a calming and reassuring force in what could have been a chaotic time. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for an officiant for their big day! - Kate M.

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.

Rev. Barbara was wonderful and performed our wedding service for us. It was thoughtful, suited just for us, sacred, professional and heart warming. She made our wedding service one that we both will remember. Now, doesnt that sound like most other feedback? Well, let me tell you what the Rev. had to work with - we are an older couple and my groom wanted the service to go like this "Do you?" "I do" "Do you?" "I do" "You may kiss the bride" "Already did". LOL! So with this guidance provided to her, she did a wonderful job - talking about the seriousness and sacredness of the occasion, added a prayer at my request and did our vows as the bride hoped she would! She was on time, gave us good direction before hand to prepare us, and then filed the necessary paperwork timely. She was charming at the reception afterward and we found her is a very warm, caring and genuine person. You'll have to check the value for cost yourself, as I thought her fee was reasonable, but as she came recommended to me, I did not "shop around".

She was great! We had a great time prepping with her and planning the ceremony! She was great and very professional! Everyone loved our vows and she made it seem very personal!

Rev. Lodge was fantastic! As a wedding photographer, I've worked with her before on several weddings and love the personal touches she puts in each and every ceremony. So when we needed a wedding officiant, we knew she would be perfect for us! Rev. Lodge was amazingly professional, caring, and writes amazing ceremonies. I didn't worry at all about any part of the ceremony as I knew she would be there and, with her experience, help us if we messed up. :) She becomes like a part of your family and we're so happy with our decision to have her marry us!

Reverend Lodge is very flexible, attentive and just all around a lovely person! She worked with us to figure out just what we needed. She definately knows how to run a ceremony!

Fantastic!!! We love Rev. Lodge! We participated in the counseling as well and think that was a great idea. The questions really made us think about any future issues we may encounter and how we would deal with them which made us feel more confident about our commitment. It also helped us get to know Barbara better. I feel like it helped her to make an even more customized ceremony for us. Everything she wrote was just perfect. She didn't force us to incorporate anything we didn't want and really listened to who we are to make our ceremony perfect for US.

Rev. Barbara Lodge was awesome for our ceremony! She doesn't miss a single detail and she worked with my husband and I on such a short notice. She also gave us some great tips and provided an extensive cd resource which save me alot of time since I wasn't the most organized bride to be! She also was very flexible even in a time crunch and took the basis of my ideas and created for us the ceremony that was perfect for us! I would definitely recommend Barbara to anyone who is getting married!Melissa C. Crosby

Rev. Lodge is very professional and friendly. The information she provided was very helpful and allowed us to create the wedding service we wanted.

Barbara was so nice and professional when we first met her, we knew we did not have to meet with anyone else. She was a match to us! She was very fast to respond to all our questions and helped us so much with many details we were missing. She was so quick handling our documents after the wedding, our marriage certification was mailed to us before we made it home from our honeymoon!

We cannot compliment Rev. Lodge enough for her work on our wedding. Everyone commented how personal and touching the ceremony was. As we stood at the altar, she subtly helped guide us and really put us at ease!

Barbara Lodge did a FANTASTIC job at our wedding, making everything very personalized and special.

Wonderful service, great to work with, and a new friend at the end of the day! Highly recommended!!!

Reverand Lodge was fantastic. She made us feel right at home and I hope we always keep in touch. Thank you so much!

We needed a minister for our commitment ceremony and we researched all of the available officiants in and around the Raleigh area. It felt like we spend two days on-line reading all of the bios and reviews and we just kept going back to Rev. Lodge and her website, it was like something was pulling us to her !!! We contacted her and we were thrilled that she was available for us even though we were about a half an hour outside of her area. I can honestly say that she was the perfect pick for us !!! We e-mailed back and forth with her a few times and talked to her on the phone at length and she truly felt like an old friend to us. She was so compassionate and caring to get a feel for us as a couple before she officiated our ceremony. We wrote our own vows and a poem and she incorporated them into her written ceremony for us. When we finally met her she did feel like an old friend. Our dog Barkley was very comfortable around her and he is a very good judge of character !!! We were so humbled to be chosen by her for our ceremony. We believe sincerely that she was a Godsend to us. We would highly recommend Rev. Lodge to anyone for any kind of ministerial service that was needed. We feel that she has genuinely found her calling in this life !!! All our best to Rev. Lodge - Kelley and Cheri

Reverend Lodge could not have written a better ceremony for our wedding. She was a true joy to work with, always warm and professional. She took the time to explain the aspects of traditional ceremonies and then listened to what we wanted in a ceremony and made adjustments accordingly. We felt that she also took the time to know us and had an intuitive understanding of themes that would resonate.Reverend Lodge wrote an articulate and poetic wedding ceremony that spoke to the power of the marriage bond, friendship, and family. We believe it is the strength of her own marriage that gives her the insight to write treasured addresses. She delivers her words with serene confidence, has a magnificent and inflective speaking voice, all with great poise and professional attire.We encourage all brides and grooms to contact Reverend Lodge about their ceremony.

Reverand Barbara Lodge was the most amazing officant I could have had for my wedding! She created the perfect ceremony and she was very responsive and helpful to me from the very first day!

Rev. Lodge made our wedding perfect! She really got to the heart of our relationship and the things that were most important to us. We felt so moved by her words, that our ceremony will forever and always remain our favorite part of our wedding day! Thanks again!

Rev. Lodge was fantastic to work with. She incoporated everything we wanted in our ceremony and added personal touches that we didn't even think of. She kept us organized and on task. She guided us much like a wedding coordinator would have. She was personable yet professional!

Rev. Lodge was so wonderful to work with. When we met with her at the beginning of our wedding planning we picked the ceremony that we wanted to use and we discussed wanting to write our own vows in addition to the traditional vows and we wanted to keep them secret. Rev. Lodge not only kept our vows secret, but did the most amazing wedding ceremony we could have asked for. I got stung by a bee in the middle of our ceremony and after a brief moment of insanity we were all back on track as if nothing had ever happened. Rev. Lodge was so easy to contact, and to work with. You can tell she really cares about her clients and I would recommend her to anyone in the area who needed an officiant.

We can't say enough about Rev. Lodge. She was lovely and so professional. She really personalized our ceremony, and couldn't have been nicer.

I couldn't have asked for a better officiant. She was so kind and knowledgeable, and her rates were very reasonable. The marriage certiificate and transcript of the ceremony was a nice touch.

Reverend Barbara Lodge brought our entire wedding together and made it the meaningful family event it was intended to be. We had the flowers, food, music and dresses, but there was a void..... The ceremony. My husband and I struggled putting our feelings into words and a format for the ceremony that captured the blending of not only our love, but the unity of our four children. Meeting Barbara put all our worries to ease. She gave us not only printed information but also a DVD of for us to look through and think about - in terms of ideas for creating a meaningful ceremony. Barbara respected our wishes and ideas and suggested many wonderful ideas of her own. She took the time to look at pictures of our children and hear our stories of how our blended family came to be - with this knowledge she selected prayers and words to seal the union of our family. I must also comment on Barbara's organization. I found when doing this wedding ourselves, things fall through the cracks. Barbara let nothing slip. She gently reminded us of things she needed from us and worked around us when I totally missed a deadline for submitting my vows! Barbara was also on top of guiding us through the marriage license process and took charge of getting us copies of the license and making it clear as to what we needed to do. In other words, we had complete peace of mind with this wonderful Reverend, who now feels like a friend. If you are after a meaningful wedding ceremony that depicts the union of a marriage based on your unique circumstances, and embraces your religion, beliefs and love for each other - I can not imagine any one other than the Reverend Barbara Lodge to lead and guide you through your special ceremony.Cynthia and John Brady.

Rev. Lodge was simply amazing. Rick and I fell in love with her the first time we met. She put together a beautiful custom ceremony for us that w ewill never forget. We absolutly love Rev. Lodge and will consider her family from here on out. We highly reccomend Rev. Lodge and promise you will have the best ceremony there is. -Lauren

I planned my wedding in one week and would not have been able to do it without Rev. Lodge. She was always there to answer questions. She was very organized and let me add my own little touches to make the ceremony feel personalized. She was extremely professional. I am so happy that she was available for my wedding! I would recommend her to anyone! Five stars all around for Rev. Lodge!

Barbara was fantastic! I would reccommend her wholeheartedly to any bride. We do not live in North Carolina so we had to correspond via email and phone prior to the ceremony and she was very responsive and had great suggestions. She did a great job incorporating all our wants while still keeping the short ceremony we wanted.

Reverend Lodge was very organized and helpful throughout the process of planning our wedding ceremony. She was open to any suggestions for things that we did or did not want included in our ceremony and was very friendly and pleasant to work with. During our ceremony, both of us were very emotional and Rev. Lodge has a very calming presence that helped us get through the ceremony without incident. We were very happy with our choice and would highly recommend her to any couple looking for a great officiant for their wedding.

Rev. Lodge was so friendly and wonderful to work with! Our wedding ceremony was literally written just for us! It reflected mine and my husbands style, beliefs, and most of all, our love for one another. We met with Rev. Lodge not having any idea of what we wanted out of our ceremony or our vows. She guided us through the process and helped us to create a personalized and very lovely ceremony that truly expressed our love for one another!Rev. Lodge is so wonderful, we really enjoyed working with her!

very good. nice and easy to work with.

Rev. Lodge is an exceptional pastor for weddings especially for non-traditional couples. Excellent in all ways and a pleasure to work with her.

Rev. Lodge performed our wedding this past April (2009). Rev. Lodge is the most pleasant and kind hearted. She is very comforting and is wonderful at making sure the ceremony goes perfectly as planned. We had many guests commment about the beautiful ceremony Rev. Lodge puts together. Jessica and Anthony Cerame

Reverend Lodge was a pleasure to work with and I would reccomend her to anyone. She met with us for a few hours to get to know us and personalize our ceremony to meet our wishes and match our personalities. After talking with her for a few hours it was like we had known her for years! Our ceremony was perfect thanks to Reverend Lodge!

I highly recommend using Barbara Lodge as your wedding minister! She is fabulous. I chose Barbara because she was one of the only ministers I could find online, but I was absolutely thrilled with her! She always responded to my emails promptly and she was willing to help answer any of my (many) questions. She understood our wishes, and she came up with a lovely, sweet ceremony for our wedding day. She showed up on time and she looked very professional and attractive. She coached us through the ceremony and gave us our cues beforehand. Everything went very smoothly, and I couldn't have been happier with her. The price was reasonable and she didn't require much input from us. We got exactly what we wanted with Reverend Lodge, and then some!

We would recommennd Barbara Lodge to any couples out there looking for a fantastic officiant. Barabara is a very lovely women who makes you feel as if you've known her for years. She is more than helpful in assisting you with great ideas for the type of wedding you are looking for.

Reverend Lodge was wonderful! She worked with us on a tight budget and performed the ceremony we chose. We would recommend her to anyone.

Reverend Lodge was a wonderful officiant. I would recommend her to anyone. She was extremely professional. She arrived on time, but most importantly, by incorporating our likes/dislike and needs (e.g., incorporating a few minutes of silence for our friends/family that couldn't be at the wedding), Rev. Lodge was able to create a wedding ceremony serman that was just perfect for us. Thank you Rev. Lodge for making our day so memorable.

Rev. Lodge was fantastic, and made our special day, extremely special. She was fantastic, and was wonderful with us having our dog in our wedding, and adding a bagpiper for a tradional Scottish Ceremony. She also made a wonderful reference as two geese flew over the wedding in the middle of the ceremony. It was so cool that she stopped and said how geese mate for life, and it was very symbolic! We loved her, she was fantastic and so patient. We would recommend her a hundred times over. Thanks so much!Heather and Andy Marcellino

Rev. Lodge was very professional and caring officiant. She tailored a ceremony to fit our personalities and beliefs. She made our day perfect and we will always remember it. We would highly recommend her to anyone!

Rev. Barbara Lodge was an absolute pleasure to work with. She catered our ceremony to fit our style and personality and delivered it beautifully. We highly reccommend her!

Rev. Lodge wrote the most beautiful ceremony, based on what we wanted down to the last detail. She was very friendly, and helped us create a very memorable wedding service. She helped me to stay calm when we had really bad stormy weather come through, and you could tell she was genuinely happy to be part of our day. I would HIGHLY recommend her to anyone.

We got married in a church and planned to use our minister. However, he gave his notice and we were stuck without anyone to perform our ceremony. The ceremony was the most important part of the wedding day to me and I wanted it to be very special. We found Barbara Lodge who helped us write our vows and create a very special, unique ceremony that the perfect way for us to celebrate our day and to make a lifetime commitment to each other. Barbara was so sweet, patient, and helpful and we were so happy that things worked out so that we got to use her.

I would recommend Rev. Barbara Lodge to anyone!!! She is AMAZING, and very thoughtful and respectful of your needs and wants for your special day. The follow up she provides before and after the wedding is right on key, I have full faith that if you pick Rev. Lodge as your Officiant, you won't be let down!! A+++++

We found Rev. Lodge to be so warm and comforting. She did an excellent job and we highly recommend her!

Reverand Lodge was very flexible, open minded and acommodating.

Rev. Lodge was as sweet as could be, filled our license immediately, so much so that our certified copies were waiting on us when we got home from our honeymoon. She helped with my nerves before the ceremony and even during the ceremony by whispering to me. She was professional but laughed with the rest of us when my new husband dropped my ring.

Barbara was a wonderful minister and really was the glue to our ceremony. She was very open to our ideas and let us decide the direction we wanted our ceremony to go. She was very warm and welcoming and probably one of my favorite vendors. Barbara and her husband stayed for our reception and it was an honor that they accepted our invitation. I HIGHLY recommend using Barbara for your wedding, especially if you want to create your own unique ceremony.

Barbara was absolutely wonderful. She was very well spoken and helped my husband and I come up with a truely unique ceremony for us and to include my daughter.She gives you lots of background information and research to help you on your way, and she is very responsive to communication, as we lived out of state.

Rev. Lodge provided a beautiful service for us on short notice. I think we contacted here only a month before the wedding and she was able to help us with everything we needed. She is very knowledgeable which helped us out a lot since we did not have an idea of what we exactly wanted.

The only thing we did not necessarily like was the lack of flexibility in the time we could have our rehearsal. Everything else was superb.

Rev. Lodge was a pleasure to work with. She was a professional through the entire process. I would recommend her.

Rev. Barbara Lodge is one of my closest friends and colleagues. We have known each other since I officiated her daughter's wedding many years ago before Barbara moved to this area. When she and her husband moved to the Triangle area I was so excited to know an outstanding officiant to whom I could refer couples I could not accommodate and trust that she would take good care of them and provide a wonderful ceremony. I am delighted to highly endorse Barbara as one of the finest, most professional wedding officiants I know.
