Kelly Diss
Owner
I am a wedding officiant, event planner, photographer & graphic designer . I guess you could say I enjoy all things having to do with weddings. I became an ordained minister when I was approached my my niece and her husband to officiate their wedding. You could say I jumped in with both feet. I did tons of research to find out how to become a minister and took even more classes to refine the skill. I have been writing and presenting couples love stories ever since. We reside in Traverse City, I am happily married for 33 years and we have 4 awesome adult kids.

On the day of the ceremony, Kelly’s presence was calming and her delivery was heartfelt and genuine. She brought so much warmth and sincerity to our wedding, and we couldn’t have asked for a better officiant. She helped make it the most beautiful experience. Our friends and family kept stating that our ceremony was the most emotionally beautiful wedding they have ever been to. Kelly worked closely with us to craft the perfect script, ensuring every word felt personal and meaningful. Her kindness, helpfulness, and down-to-earth personality made the entire process not only easy but also enjoyable.
If you’re looking for someone to create a truly memorable and personalized ceremony, Kelly is the one. She made our special day even more extraordinary, and we will be forever grateful!

Kelly was so wonderful to work with in the planning process and to lead our magical day! As the bride, I had a lot of ideas and requests, and she made our wedding so personal to who we are as a couple. Her years of experience officiating were so evident in her ability to execute the perfect ceremony. We could not have asked for more.

Stop scrolling, Kelly really is the real deal! I usually only write reviews if the service/product far met beyond my expectation or far below. Not to mention so many of them are fake nowadays. However, Kelly’s outstanding reviews hold true! We had a simple small, short, and sweet elopement. We both aren’t very good with the, all eyes on us thing, and didn’t know what all to fully expect (first, and hopefully only marriage). Kelly, immediately without even trying, made us feel so comfortably at ease. She has this beautifully natural comforting way about her that makes you melt into comfort all the way around. Not only is she a beautiful soul, she's veryyy talented at what she does with her ministry and photography. She sent me lists of other services I was in need of. Another bonus, she's creative and very affordable as well. It's the rarity of finding something too good to be true, but it really is. This review is one I am happy and excited to write!

Kelly was the best officiant and coordinator we could have ever asked for! She went above and beyond in making sure every last detail was planned and everything was prepared. Her communication and organizational skills are amazing! When hiccups did occur on our big day (as they often do) she jumped right into action and solved the problem. She kept everyone in line and stayed focused on what needed to be done. Beyond being incredibly proficient at her job, she is incredibly kind and helped put us at ease when any wedding day nerves did arise. Even our other vendors and guests made comments to us about how amazing she was. Hire Kelly for any planning/coordination/officiating needs-- you won't regret it!

Kelly was the most perfect officiant we could have hoped for. On our wedding day, multiple guests commented that the ceremony was the best they had ever experienced because of Kelly and her beautiful voice. Working with Kelly was a wonderful experience from start to finish. She was so organized and purposeful, helping us craft the exact ceremony that would be meaningful to us. She is thoughtful and respects cultural practices, meaningful rituals, and each couple’s uniqueness. Because of her event planning experience, she anticipates what would make the day run more smoothly and communicates this with other vendors. Highly recommend!

I can’t say enough about Kelly!! Not only was she professional, positive, and just wonderful all around but the most important person for our ceremony.
Her script was used by the DJ, the photographer, the event coordinator, and the venue staff for a seamless afternoon. Her years of experience helped the ceremony be smooth & her heart felt ceremony had everyone tearing up.
The rehearsal was quick, informative & perfectly prepared everyone to know what to do.
Kelly made it a point to personalize everything moment of our ceremony & she spread joy over the entire day. We’re excited to have her renew our vows just to spend another afternoon with her lol!

Choosing Kelly Diss of KD Events as our wedding officiant was easily one of the best decisions we made for our special day. From the moment we first connected, Kelly exuded warmth, professionalism, and a genuine passion for what she does.
Throughout the planning process, Kelly was incredibly attentive to our preferences and vision for the ceremony. She took the time to get to know us as a couple, which made the ceremony feel personal and heartfelt. Kelly offered valuable guidance and suggestions while also respecting our wishes, ensuring that the ceremony reflected our beliefs and love story.
Leading up to our wedding, Kelly went above and beyond. Not only did she meticulously prepare for the ceremony, but she also took charge of coordinating the entire day. From reaching out to all our vendors to meticulously crafting a timeline, she ensured every detail was perfect and that everything ran smoothly.
On the day of the wedding, Kelly delivered a ceremony that was nothing short of magical. Her eloquence, grace, and calming presence set the tone for a beautiful and unforgettable event. She spoke with such sincerity and warmth that there wasn’t a dry eye in the house. It was clear that Kelly put her heart and soul into crafting every word, making our ceremony truly unique and meaningful.
Our guests couldn't stop raving about how touching and beautifully orchestrated the ceremony was, and we couldn't agree more. Kelly has a gift for creating moments that resonate deeply with everyone present, turning our wedding into an occasion that will be cherished forever.
If you're looking for a wedding officiant who will go above and beyond to make your day perfect, look no further than Kelly. She is not just a professional but a true artist who understands the importance of love and commitment. Thank you, Kelly for making our wedding day everything we dreamed it would be and more!

We are so glad we found her and highly recommend her to others for weddings big and small.

We had Kelly officiate our wedding in late spring of this year. She spent time with us via email and zoom call and really did her best to get to know my partner and I. Between her summary of our relationship thus far and the reading she performed, she really did a great job making a beautiful ceremony. Kelly has also worked with our venue before, so she knew the quirks of the site and her experience helped everything flow nicely. I'm not sure if she's only in TC area, but if you're in need of officiating services we cannot recommend Kelly enough. Thank you again!

If you are looking for an amazing officiant Kelly is your lady!! I actually got the chance to meet Kelly prior to our wedding because she also officiated my Dads wedding 3 months before mine! I got married on 11/11/23, and from the start Kelly was so incredible. She is extremely professional, personable, and made our ceremony an absolute dream. I was blown away with her script that she wrote for our ceremony and also worked so well with our vendors. She made sure to mention all of the small things, and made everyone laugh, cry, and truly captured our love. All of our guests absolutely loved Kelly and mentioned how amazing she is!! Thank you Kelly!!

We chose Kelly to officiate our intimate October 11th wedding, and she was so wonderful! Kelly is such a sweet person, and made us feel special. We selected her Short and Sweet package. Throughout the whole process of writing our ceremony script, Kelly was quick with communication, offered helpful suggestions, and her attention to detail was something my husband and I really appreciated. She is professional, but still kept it lighthearted and fun!
She wrote truly beautiful words for our ceremony, and we now have a wonderful memory that will last a lifetime. Our family kept saying all evening how heartfelt our ceremony was. Kelly is the best! I highly recommend her to anyone who is planning a wedding in Traverse City or the surrounding Northern Michigan area. Thank you Kelly!!!

Kelly recently officiated our ceremony on July 1, 2023, and we could not have imagined a more perfect day. We were already civilly married prior to our planned big day but were looking for something fairly simple to give us that wedding ceremony experience. Throughout the planning process Kelly was responsive, professional, organized, an absolute PLEASURE to work with. She had such a warm energy that made us feel super comfortable in our choice right from the very beginning. We wanted to keep our ceremony quick, light, and fun but not sacrifice the emotional elements and Kelly’s script options delivered on just that. She really took the time to get to know us as a couple through phone and Zoom calls and even had us both write our own personal portion of the vows that we had kept secret from each other until the ceremony when she incorporated them into her script. Our whole experience with Kelly was super laid back, personal, and most importantly, fun! We highly, highly recommend reaching out to Kelly if you are looking for an officiant!

Initially it took some convincing for my husband to say yes to hiring an officiant, but after our call with Kelly to learn more about her services and process he was totally on board! It was obvious she could deliver a better ceremony than we would be able to with a family member.
Leading up to the wedding, Kelly was super organized and made sure we completed our homework. The questionnaire we filled out really helped me think about aspects I hadn't put much thought into. She customized our ceremony and we had the opportunity to review everything to make sure it was aligned with our vision. We had our rehearsal the evening prior and I really appreciated the time she spent with us to make sure we felt ready for the big day. We couldn't be happier with the beautiful ceremony that Kelly created. It was so personal and so many of our guests came up to us afterwards to compliment her and tell us how emotional it made them.

We were coming from out of state to elope on the beach at the tip of Old Mission Peninsula, and wanted to find an officiant to perform a simple ceremony - with only about 2 months' notice. In the time leading up to our special day, Kelly ushered us through the process of figuring out exactly what elements we wanted in our ceremony, and provided exactly the right mix of incorporating our vision, while also giving her expert guidance. We met with her over Zoom, exchanged emails several times, and worked on our wedding script together. She totally put us at ease. She is incredibly warm, responsive, and has a wealth of expertise and "mad skillz". We cannot say enough wonderful things about Kelly, who helped us turn our elopement into an amazingly joyful, meaningful wedding. We are so thrilled to have found KD Events and grateful to Kelly for helping make our day transcendent and perfect! Whether your wedding is big, small, or anywhere in-between, we cannot recommend her enough to anyone who is looking for just the right planner/officiant in the Traverse City area!

I can't recommend Kelly enough for your officiant needs! We interviewed a few options and after speaking with Kelly, it was a no brainer. She didn't have a canned script, rather Kelly took the time to talk with us and get to know our hopes for the ceremony and who we are as a couple. She fully customized our ceremony and gave us free reign to review and make edits. Kelly also put together a beautiful intro to the ceremony which was a surprise for the groom and myself. She emailed us separately asking a few questions and wrote it from our responses. It was such a nice touch that totally personalized the ceremony. I never thought the ceremony would be our guest's favorite part of our wedding but I can't tell you the amount of compliments we received from friends and family. I would recommend Kelly to ANYONE, she is a breath of fresh air!

I highly recommend KD Events to everyone. Kelly was flawless in her execution of our wedding ceremony. She was creative, organized, punctual, and guided us through everything we needed. She was available any time we had questions, which was a lot! Kelly delivered the perfect balance between graceful elegance, faith and fun with our Disney theme. During our rehearsal, she was patient and made everyone feel comfortable before the big day. If you are looking for someone who listens to your needs and wants, customizes your experience, is super organized and extremely helpful, Kelly is your perfect pairing. She really knows what she is doing, knows what you should be doing and above all, helps bring your vision to fruition.

Kelly was nothing short of amazing. She met with us via email, over the phone, and over zoom to make sure that our ceremony was exactly what we wanted. My husband and I opted to have a private ceremony, so we really relied on Kelly to advise and assist us in everything from selecting our vows to setting up a cell phone to record the ceremony. Still, no matter what we threw her way, Kelly was receptive and compassionate. We are so grateful that Kelly was part of our special day and would strongly recommend her.

My partner and I went with the Make It Legal package because a big wedding just wasn’t something we needed or wanted, and even with that package Mrs. Kelly was amazingly helpful! She helped look at locations to get married, gave information about the process, and was super fun and friendly! She was amazing! I’m really glad we chose her as the one to officiate us. She has a very upbeat attitude and made a day we were a little nervous about feel a lot more chill and fun! She helped it go smoothly where we were kind of confused and was extremely flexible and an absolute joy to have there! I would absolutely recommend her services! And thank you, Kelly, for helping to make this day so amazing!

I was a guest at one of this venders events. How does someone decorate a place and turn it into something magical? It was beautiful! The little extras were perfect! I’d use Kd events for my next special occasion.

Kelly was excellent when it came to planning my wedding! Living out of state and with COVID restrictions constantly changing it would have been way to much to handle on my own. She was able to speak with vendors and help with alternative options when I was unable to during the day due to my work schedule. What could have been an extremely stressful time for me turned out to be a smooth process thanks to Kelly. Not to mention her organizational and leadership skills were key during the wedding weekend!

Kelly officiated my wedding in July. She was extremely professional and kept us informed through the entire process. We loved that we got to be involved in creating the script and were able to add our own personal touches. Kelly exceeded expectations during the rehearsal and made sure everyone was on the same page and knew where to be. This ensured that the day of went smooth and everyone was comfortable with their roles. We recommend her to anyone needing event services!
