There are not enough words to describe how much we love Karen. We found her by chance and from the first few conversations we had with her, we just KNEW she was the right person to marry us. Karen is such a personable storyteller and it really shows in her work. The communication lime between her and I was open during the entirety of the wedding planning process, and it really took stress away from me. It felt like we started this journey with a vendor and we walked away with a friend. She is such an incredible cheerleader for your love and that is not something you find in many people, let alone a wedding vendor. I knew we had made the best choice for an officiant, when EVERY single guest had something amazing to say about her after the wedding. She also used Meta glasses to video record all parts of our wedding (the rehearsal, getting ready, and the beginning of our ceremony) which gave us such a different and fun perspective. Karen positively impacted our wedding experience and I cannot stress enough, that you NEED her in your life!

Aww, Madison. Thank you times infinity. We 100 percent became friends! Don't be surprised ...
when I show up next Christmas Eve for all the Christmas Vacation traditions. :) I was beyond honored to marry you and Mike. Chip was the best 4-legged ring bearer ever. Hugs to you all!

I am in awe at the level of detail and commitment that Karen brings to her couples. This is not a ready-made service, where everyone gets the same thing. She takes the time to get to know a couple, who they are, how they met and most importantly, how they fell in love, and she takes those little details and winds them into the service. You end up with an immensely personal and unique wedding, that reflects the heart and soul of two people in love. I highly recommend her services! You won't be disappointed.

As a wedding photographer I have seen many officiants marry people. The small yet very special details that Karen adds to the ceremony make her one of a kind. She will take the time to get to know you as a couple so that she can add a personal touch to your vows, which will make your day that much more special. She is a very sweet and kind women yet completely professional. Highly recommend!!
