DC Wedding Officiants
You may want to know why we call ourselves DC Wedding Officiants, when we provide services beyond DC. The DC Marriage Knot is a business primarily working in the DC Metropolitan area (also known as the DMV (DC, MD, NoVA).
Many local couples often plan weddings across the Chesapeake Bay Bridge, Baltimore and beyond. That’s when we’re called MD Wedding Officiants, and VA Wedding Officiants when they take their event to a vineyard in Northern Virginia. No matter where their wedding takes place, we want to be there, because their happiness is our happiness.
