Rev. Eliria Harris of Abingdon, VA

Interfaith Wedding Officiant and Minister

Reverend Eliria Harris is a nondenominational, interfaith minister with the Alliance of Divine Love. She is licensed to perform weddings in Virginia, and as a resident of Abingdon, VA, she officiates at ceremonies in that charming historical town in Southwest Virginia, and in the nearby Tri-Cities area of Tennessee. Reverend Harris offers a variety of standard vows – Christian, civil, or spiritual (non-sectarian) – which can be previewed via email, or couples may provide vows of their own choosing. Whether you envision a quiet private service just for the couple, or a more formal ceremony that is shared with family and friends, Reverend Harris promises to make your wedding day one you will always cherish.

Blended-faith and same-sex weddings are welcomed.

“In performing our ceremony, Eliria helped us fashion and contribute our own ideas and wording to personalize our wedding vows in such a meaningful way. We felt we were in such professional and loving hands.” — Katherine M.

“During our 10 years as Innkeepers, we hosted over 70 elopements at Bed & Breakfast at Ponder Cove. After the cake was cut and the celebratory toast, it was the kind and gentle words of Eliria that couples remembered most. Forever grateful to have shared such moments with the young, the young at heart, and Eliria.” — Martha A.

“We were extremely pleased with the marriage ceremony provided by Eliria. Not only for the service itself, but also for the advance planning for the actual marriage ceremony vows. Eliria is very open to different styles and religious beliefs of persons for which she is officiating the marriage ceremony. Not only did Eliria  meet our expectations, she greatly exceeded them. Thank you Eliria for making our special day, a very special day.” —  Robb P.
