Karen Osborne is a Great choice for a wedding officiant. She was very responsive, professional, and helped us with our ceremony and vows! We got married on the hottest day of the year, and had an outside ceremony. She made sure to keep the read...

ings short so we didn't pass out and the ceremony itself was beautiful. We chose her because she offers a variety of ceremony types, from non-religious to spiritual to LGBT friendly. We were able to customize our ceremony, readings, vows and everything, and she helped us every step of the way. I'd highly recommend her for anyone needing a fun and friendly officiant!

Just like many other weddings that were affected by COVID-19, we really wanted to be married prior to our son being born. The wedding that Karen officiated was try number three! Karen was incredibly responsive, made the process so easy and made...

the quick wedding so personable. The whole day flew by and Karen's keepsake that she gives allows you to stop after the craziness and truly embrace your own words and her own added touch to the vows that truly touch you after the fact. She also worked with my best friend behind the scenes (without me knowing) and provided a photographer that brought even more of a added touch of memory to the wedding. I highly recommend Karen to officiate your wedding, you will not be let down!

My husband and I eloped, so the service was very private and only included ourselves, Reverend Karen and a photographer. We were both totally blown away by Karen's ceremony. It was as if she had known us our entire lives as her words were so on...

We couldn’t have been more pleased with how wonderfully our ceremony turned out! At our reception we had so many people coming up to us and saying that it was the most beautiful ceremony they had ever heard, and seemed so personal! Karen was so...

easy to work with, enthusiastic, and quick to respond to emails and questions. She wrote the entire ceremony based on what we told her about ourselves and tailored it to us as a couple. She was open to any changes or tweaks that we wanted to the ceremony and really made it in to exactly what we wanted. Our ceremony wouldn’t have been the same without Karen and we can’t thank her enough for how much work she put in to making our ceremony special. I really recommend Karen if you want a ceremony customized based on you as a couple and what you want in your marriage. She does an amazing job and is wonderful to work with!
