Every Wedding is the start of something new ~ full of potential, and full of hope. It's the creation of something never before seen in this world, the unique combination of two people’s backgrounds in a way that brings unity out of diversity and brings about the very best of both people. A wedding is all about  unity and love.

Becky Hartzog 

Officiant & Ordaned Minister 

An ordained Christian minister, I recently retired from Wake Forest University where I served as one of the university chaplains. I have over thirty years of experience working on college campuses as a chaplain and campus minister. It was through officiating at the weddings of numerous alumni and friends that I came to realize how much I enjoy assisting couples on one of the happiest days of their lives. I have had the privilege of travelling to a variety of destinations to participate in the marriage ceremonies of a number of special couples.  

Another of my passions is horses. After many years of wishing for a horse, I saw my dream come true approximately twelve years ago when I purchased a one year old half Arabian filly. Sky's Painted Dream (more commonly known as Dream) is now thirteen years old and is the joy of my life. In my spare time, I can often be found hanging out with her and other four-legged friends, including my dog, MacFarland (also known as Farley).

 The name Hitchin' Hartz is an attempt to combine my two passions (horses and weddings) with my last name. I would love to work with you to plan the wedding ceremony of your dreams. My philosophy when it comes to weddings is that it is YOUR wedding, not mine. I would be honored to assist you in making your wedding the most special day possible.

Officiant & Ordaned Minister 

I have always loved weddings. I believe your wedding day is one of the few moments in life that are truly cemented in your memory. It all seems like a blur, but you always remember the details and how special that day is. Weddings are just a great time of celebration that I love being apart of. For me, I celebrated my wedding close to 10 years ago to my beautiful wife, Lesley. Together, we have a very curious and awesome 3 year old son named Griffin. We also have two needy dogs, Beasley and Clive. We enjoy family, food, and friends. On the off chance we get a date night, we also enjoy movies.

 Weddings are a very special time. You want to make sure you have all the right touches when it comes to photography, flowers, and even the officiant. With 4 years of experience, I have realized I thoroughly enjoy being apart of a couple's special day. With a decade of ministry experience, I believe I can bring the right mixture of professionalism, humor, and personal touch. I will gladly do your big wedding or small ceremony. They are all special when two people join together as one. Whether you want a traditional service or a more personalized ceremony, I can make that happen. Please think of me when trying to pick the right officiant
