FROM THE HEART | FOR A LIFETIME

Meet Your Officiant

I'm Austin, and I'm honored to have the opportunity to officiate weddings here at Southern Charm Estate. When I think back to my own wedding day, I remember just how special it was to stand beside the person I love, surrounded by our closest family and friends, making promises that would last a lifetime. It's one of those moments that stays with you forever. Having experienced that myself, I understand how much this day means to you. Your ceremony is more than just a part of your wedding—it's the reason everyone has gathered to celebrate. I want to make sure that moment feels genuine, personal, and meaningful to you both. It's a privilege to play even a small part in the beginning of your marriage, and one I take to heart.

your ceremony, your way

Austin made our ceremony feel like it was written just for us. He took the time to understand our story, and somehow found the perfect balance between heartfelt and lighthearted. We laughed, we cried, and honestly, it was one of our favorite parts of the entire wedding.

We really didn't want a long ceremony or anything overly formal. Austin understood that right away. He kept things simple, meaningful, and comfortable. Neither of us loves being the center of attention, so having someone calm up there with us made a big difference.

– Jennifer K.
Austin did a great job officiating our wedding. Everything came together nicely on our day. Our families had a lot of kind things to say afterward.
