About
Michelle Drury founded Simply Marry Us in 2017 after nearly 20 years in healthcare as a surgical technologist. She works as a South Carolina notary public and ULC ordained minister, authorized to perform legal marriage ceremonies in both South Carolina and Georgia, and has officiated more than 800 weddings, earning WeddingWire's Couples' Choice Award every year since 2019.
Couples choose from a Simple Legal Signing with no ceremony, a Courthouse-Style Ceremony that lets them include their own vows, a Storybook ceremony at Hopeland Gardens, or a sunset ceremony on the Savannah River at Boeckh Park. Drury also provides a free vow-writing guide, help with South Carolina marriage license paperwork, and legal name-change guidance, and connects couples with a photography partner for an add-on fee.
Based in Aiken, the practice serves Aiken and North Augusta. Published pricing runs from $85 for a legal signing with no ceremony to $245 for the Savannah River sunset ceremony, with some venue fees, like Hopeland Gardens or the Boeckh Park pavilion, billed separately from the ceremony fee.
