About this vendor
Kate Kennedy, UCC Pastor and trained chaplain, loves weddings. Weddings allow us to name and claim deep and abiding love. Weddings give us the chance to celebrate new commitments with hope and joy. Weddings reach in and beyond our own spiritual beings to witness something bigger than ourselves. Weddings are just the best.
But here's the thing--planning a wedding is a big deal! No matter what kind of wedding you have -- big or small, held on a Wednesday morning or over the course of a three day weekend-- there are always details that can make or break the day. With so many arrangements to make and things to remember, and often family dynamics to tend to and friends to coordinate, you need to know your ceremony is in the hands of someone (like Lobster Love Weddings) who can handle themselves and run a smooth ceremony (and rehearsal, if you so choose!).
If you pick me as your officiant, my goal will be to get to know you, so that together we can create a ceremony that is a beautiful reflection of your love and commitment. I can help you write a Christian ceremony, or we can lean into whatever kind of spirituality speaks to your hearts. I want your guests to say "You know, I don't usually say this, but the ceremony was my favorite part!"
Looking forward to getting to know you better.

ly helped us clarify our vision. She was a great source of support in moments when we struggled with decision-making and she helped us craft a ceremony that set the tone for how we wanted the day to feel. She also ran our rehearsal in a way that was both professional and thoughtful and helped us to feel prepared and confident about the next day. After our wedding, many of our guests specifically commented on how amazing they thought Kate was and how beautiful our ceremony was. Throughout the planning process, Kate was so communicative, helpful, and accessible to us and her guidance allowed us to plan a ceremony that we truly loved and will always remember.
Kate was absolutely spectacular throughout our entire wedding process. She did our sister/sister in law’s wedding a couple years ago and learned of her that way, and we couldn’t b...
e happier that we were able to include her again for our family.
Organization, creativity, genuineness is off the charts with Kate, and we always felt fully taken care of with Kate in our corner!!! Vow support and multiple planning meetings were terrific.
Would recommend Kate to anyone looking for a spiritual, religious yet modern and fun officiant and teammate throughout the wedding process.
Thank you, Kate!!!
Love, the Gilroys

great care in understanding our relationship and reflecting it in her sermon. We also had a few awkward dynamics with family members, and Kate was ready with seamless and creative ways to bring everyone together in a way that felt natural.
