SC Midlands Wedding Officiant

Samantha A. Leitner officiates as SC Midlands Wedding Officiant out of West Columbia. She is an ordained minister and a notary public for South Carolina, which is the combination worth understanding before booking: the officiant who performs the ceremony can also notarise, so a couple is not chasing a second signature on the day.

The ceremony list is broad and stated plainly — religious, non-religious, interfaith, multicultural, civil union, commitment ceremony, and vow renewal, alongside standard weddings and elopements. Couples marrying across traditions, or with none, are unlikely to run into a script she will not write.

Coverage is statewide rather than Midlands-only, though Columbia, West Columbia, Lexington and the surrounding Midlands are the home ground. Ceremonies start at $125, which sits at the accessible end of the South Carolina range and reflects a courthouse-style or small ceremony rather than a fully written one.

The website is minimal, and most of what is published about her practice lives on Zola and her Facebook page instead. Couples who want detail before enquiring will find more there than on the site itself.
