Kelly is a fantastic officiant! Not only was she communicative and punctual, but she wrote a genuinely beautiful ceremony for us and delivered it flawlessly. With all of the chaos ...
of planning a wedding, we felt like choosing a person online to officiate our wedding would be a gamble, but Kelly put us at ease the moment we spoke and exceeded our expectations once we finally met. We felt so comfortable with her and it almost felt like we were old friends. We felt that Kelly genuinely cared for us and our day. She was able to personalize our wedding with a beautiful (but short and sweet, per our request) hand-fasting ceremony which went over without a hitch. If you're looking for the perfect officiant, look no further. 10 out of 10, 5 starts across the board!!

From our first phone call with Kelly, we knew she was the officiant for us. Kelly is kind, professional, calm, and has a great sense of humor and lightness about her. She worked cl...
osely with us to create beautiful ceremony language, and she has a very flexible work process--she will be as hands-on as you want her to be. She was extremely responsive and kept us on track during the months leading up to the wedding (and, we reached out to her fairly late due to uncertainties about the pandemic, and she hit the ground running!). She made us and our wedding party feel so confident and calm during our wedding rehearsal the day prior to the wedding, and she did a beautiful job the day of. Many of our guests commented on how beautiful they thought the ceremony was. I have no doubt she can create the perfect ceremony for any couple. Hire her!!
