Imogene Russell

Immie is a professional wedding officiant based on the Outer Banks of North Carolina, known for her warm, open-hearted approach and deeply personalized ceremonies. She specializes in creating custom ceremony scripts that are heartfelt, fun, and romantic—designed to reflect each couple’s unique story in a way that resonates with both them and their guests.​

​

Immie is especially passionate about working with non-religious and interfaith couples, offering inclusive, secular, and LGBTQ-friendly ceremonies that feel genuine and personal. She approaches each wedding with intention and care, treating every love story as something worth celebrating in a meaningful way.

​

She also happens to be the wife of Jeremy (owner of Outer Banks Wedding Entertainment)—making them a seamless, experienced duo when it comes to ceremony and reception flow. Together, they bring a level of connection, communication, and ease that couples immediately feel.

"It’s your day—and your ceremony should feel like you! I don’t believe in cookie-cutter scripts or one-size-fits-all ceremonies. Instead, I work closely with each couple to create something that feels personal, meaningful, and true to your relationship. My goal is to create a moment that not only reflects your connection, but also resonates with everyone there—something that feels emotional, joyful, and memorable in all the right ways."

You only get this moment once… so let’s make it count!

"Not a dry eye in the house!"​

​Jennifer Lewis 

Immie’s positivity is infectious! The weather the week of our wedding was not ideal for an outdoor ceremony (upper 40’s, pouring down rain with 50 MPH wind gusts), and when Immie arrived for our rehearsal dinner, she pulled me aside and told me she would be right there with us and was willing to do whatever we wanted, even risk being washed out to sea, because it was our special day and it didn’t matter if anyone else agreed with our decisions. Every person at the wedding came up to us and told us how moved they were by her words. It was as if Immie had known us each step of our relationship journey. Had it not been for Immie and her unwavering support, our wedding would not have been the same!
