Helping Couples in Caroline County, Fredericksburg, & All of Virginia
Virginia Marriage Commissioner & Wedding Officiant
Simple, meaningful, and legally done right. I'm Wesley Rose, and since 2022 I've married couples at courthouses, coffee shops, back fields and lakeshores across Virginia. Most people tell me, “We just want to get married.” That's exactly what I'm here for.

Get Married Your Way, Anywhere in Virginia
From a ten-minute legal ceremony to a fully custom service, I handle the words, the moment, and the paperwork.
Just the two of you, or a handful of people. A simple, appointment-style ceremony at a lake, farm, overlook or wherever you choose.
A custom-written ceremony with a wedding party, processional and venue timeline. I coordinate with your planner, DJ and photographer.
An intimate, personalized ceremony with your guests there, plus a consultation and help pulling the moment together.
Black-tie, larger or highly coordinated weddings, with extended on-site availability and rehearsal or multi-day commitments.
Meet your officiant
Hey, I’m Wes.
I genuinely enjoy people, and that's why I do this work. I value clear communication and down-to-earth moments, and I help couples take the next step in life with joy. Whether your ceremony is fully planned or barely sketched out, I'll help shape what comes next.
I'm not here to turn your ceremony into a spectacle. I'm here to keep it meaningful and make sure you leave that moment married and grounded.
How it works
Three Steps to Married
1
Send your date & place
Fully planned or barely sketched out, just tell me when and where you're thinking.
2
We shape the ceremony
A quick call to talk through what you want (and don't want). Write your own vows or let me help.
3
I marry you & file it
I show up on time, lead the ceremony, and return your license to the issuing court within five days, as Virginia law requires.
