Evelyn Coker has been married for 24 years and is motivated by her own wedding vows to guarantee your special day. 

She was inspired to become licensed to perform marriages when she stood in for the officiant at her goddaughter’s wedding rehearsal two years ago. 

Evelyn is also a doula, providing physical, emotional and informational support for couples during childbirth.  She is also a massage therapist. 

Evelyn is a founder of the annual “Ride for Glenn” fundraiser, is a volunteer at Hospice Huntsville and has been a parade co-ordinator for the Huntsville Bathtub Derby. 

Evelyn wants to assist you in crafting and personalizing the most intimate, loving ceremony that would reflect who you are to each other.  Her wish for you is to be able to look back and know that you absolutely loved the moment you said your vows to each other and to remember it for the rest of your lives.  To know that she helped create and was a part of the journey to that moment will bring her great joy. 

“It’s just in my heart to do this.”
