Every couple deserves a wedding ceremony that feels authentic, meaningful, and uniquely theirs. At Chanelle Carlin Weddings, I specialize in creating custom ceremonies that celebrate your wedding journey and set the tone for your lifetime of love ahead.
“We are so happy to have found Chanelle! She is truly amazing, and we could not have had a better experience navigating through the planning process of our elopement. She communicated with us every step of the way and was always one text away willing to answer all of our questions. Chanelle exceeded our expectations with our ceremony, such a beautiful job well done! Thank you, Chanelle!” – Alma and Javi

Custom Wedding Ceremonies
Because Your Love Story Deserves to Be Told.
Your wedding isn’t just another event—it’s the beginning of your forever. Together, we’ll craft a ceremony that reflects who you are as individuals and as a couple. Whether you want to honor cherished traditions, blend your cultures, or simply celebrate the amazing connection you’ve found, I’ll ensure your ceremony is heartfelt, personal, and unforgettable.
Most of my couples have been together for years and are now ready to commit officially. Some travel to the Pacific Northwest just for their elopement/wedding. If you’re looking for a professional, compassionate officiant, who cares as much about the success of your wedding as you do, I’m here for you. Your wedding day is the start of your marriage. Contact me, and let’s make it incredible.

Elopements & Intimate Weddings
Big Love, Small Ceremony.
Sometimes, the most profound moments happen in the most intimate settings. For couples dreaming of a private exchange of vows or a smaller celebration with their closest loved ones, I create bespoke elopement and intimate wedding ceremonies that are just as meaningful as they are beautiful.
Perfect For:
Adventurous couples looking for a romantic, escape surrounded by the natural beauty of the PNW.
Those wanting to keep things simple yet deeply personal.
Celebrations with 30 guests or fewer, where every moment feels special and connected.

Perhaps you’re thinking about getting married at a location a little further away. That’s awesome! Let’s have a chat. I’m huge into national and international travel (while I lived in Ireland, I traveled all throughout Europe). If, for some reason, I’m not able to help you, I will help you find someone to officiate for you.
