Love In Carolina

Love In Carolina is a wedding officiant service in Irmo, South Carolina, in the Columbia area near Lake Murray. It offers ceremonies for couples who want anything from a quiet moment for two to a gathering of hundreds.

A fit for LGBTQ+ couples

Love In Carolina is LGBTQ+-owned, and marriage equality ceremonies are named as part of what the business offers. That is useful to know if you have been turned away or met awkward silences elsewhere. Here, a ceremony for two brides or two grooms is part of the regular work, and the officiants describe treating each couple like family.

• Marriage equality ceremonies
• Experienced, professional officiants

Shaping your ceremony

Before you book, decide how long you want the ceremony to run, whether you will write your own vows and who will take part. Ask the officiant to walk you through the order of events and to share sample wording. Tell them which traditions you want to keep and which you want to leave out.

Ask about rehearsals, travel, and who files the marriage license after the ceremony. South Carolina requires a license issued by a county probate court, so confirm the timing with your county. Make sure the officiant knows your venue, since outdoor spaces need a plan for wind and heat.

Around Irmo

Irmo is northwest of downtown Columbia, close to Lake Murray and Interstate 26. That puts lakeside, garden and downtown venues within reach. Ask whether travel beyond the Midlands is possible for your date.
