When choosing who you want to write and perform one of the most important ceremonies of your life, choose Kiera. You couldn't hope for a better experience. When my wife and I chose her, we were already confident she would do a wonderful job. Sh...e was a family friend already, so of course we trusted her. We still managed to underestimate just how lucky we were to have her be our celebrant.
There are so many things that made working with Kiera a wonderful experience. I'll try to point out some of the highlights without writing a novel.
To start off, Kiera as a person is a delight to work with. She is interested, and personable, and above all professional. From minute one you can tell that she loves what she does and takes pleasure in doing it well. Kiera understands how much this moment means for you, and joyfully does everything she can to make your wedding ceremony as special, personal, and individual as possible.
Kiera is able to do this thanks in part to the process she follows. My wife and I were given questionnaires to fill out individually. My wife and I chose to keep our answers secret from each other so we could be surprised later. The questions included some of the obvious things. How we met, what we liked about the other person, what we enjoy doing together, but that was just the start. The questions became more specific and insightful beyond that. It was a little daunting at first, but once my wife and I dug in, we found ourselves really enjoying the memories it brought up, reliving some of the stories the questions asked for. By the end, Kiera got to know us and our story almost better than we did ourselves.
This close knowledge of who we are and what matters to us informed the tone of our ceremony, and together Kiera helped us choose what beats to include, a union ceremony, and accommodated our own particular needs for the ceremony. We wanted to stream our wedding, so one of the things we asked for was a way to include our friends and family at home, and to make the ceremony engaging to watch. Kiera provided resources for example vows, different kinds of traditions and ceremonies, and was always quick to answer any questions we asked.
Closer to the wedding, we were sent a draft of the ceremony. We walked through it with Kiera so we could tweak it to fit just perfect. She was willing to write 3 separate drafts of the ceremony for us, and I'm sure she would have done more if we wanted them.
The actual ceremony was performed with such joy and care that you could hear it in her voice. She was engaging and clear in her delivery, and was perfectly comfortable being recorded for our stream.
After the wedding, we received so many compliments on the beauty and fit of our ceremony. I'll say here what I told everyone that gave us that compliment. It's thanks to Kiera. Without her our ceremony wouldn't have been half as magical.
Thank you, Kiera. From the bottom of our hearts.
