Wedding Officiant

My name is Holly Tidwell, and I’m a licensed officiant through the Universal Life Church since 2021 and an event planner and life coach based in Monroe, North Carolina. I hold a degree in Biblical Studies from Liberty University and spent many years as a pastor before transitioning into event planning and coaching — all different ways of doing the same thing I’ve always loved: helping people create meaningful, lasting connections.

I was married for twenty years and am a proud mom of four amazing children. Through both life and love, I’ve learned that relationships are sacred—whether they’re rooted in faith, spirituality, or simple human connection. I officiate all types of ceremonies: religious, spiritual, secular, or uniquely blended.

I am inclusive and work with all types of couples, because love is love.

Whether you’re planning an intimate elopement, a lakeside ceremony, or a full celebration, my goal is to make your wedding day feel personal, heartfelt, and effortless. I offer 3 different types of packages that you can pick from below.

I also offer Premarital Coaching Sessions for couples who want to strengthen their emotional foundation before marriage, and Marriage Maintenance Coaching for those who want to keep their love thriving long after the wedding day.

Love brought you here. I’ll make sure it’s celebrated beautifully.
