Raleigh Wedding Minister

Kayelily made our wedding day a wonderful celebration of our love. She was flexible in scheduling the ceremony, offered several options for scripts, and was open to tweaking and personalizing based on our unique preferences and wishes. She was responsive to our questions and made our entire experience less stressful! I can't imagine a better officiant.

Kayelily was nothing short of amazing from start-to-finish. She worked with us from day 1 to help craft a personalized ceremony and it really paid off! “I think that was the best wedding ceremony I’ve been to!” - many of our guests during cocktail hour. She gave us all the tools we need to have the perfect ceremony. She also helped us and our party through the rehearsal so we were confident for the actual wedding day. For the day-of, she arrived when she said she would and was just amazing. We were excited for the ceremony we wrote but she really brought it to life! All of our guests commented on how great of a story teller she was. We seriously cannot say enough- Kayelily was everything and more! She helped make our wedding day perfect!

Kayelily is very professional, attentive, and sweet. She wrote beautiful vows while making sure to include key points from our relationship.

Kayelily was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding day. You can tell she is experienced and very organized throughout the whole process. We loved all the special touches she included in our ceremony, including family blessings and the love note. She made us a marriage certificate, just for us and I’m a sap for those kinds of things. Kayelily is very kind and funny, and we loved her. We thank you from our whole heart for everything. So if you’re wondering if you should choose Kayelilly as your wedding minister, do it 😊

Kayelily was able to provide my now husband and I, and our families, with an intimate ceremony that was beautiful and personal and was at a location and time of our choosing. Not only that, but she was responsive, thorough, and kind throughout the entire process- going above and beyond even after the ceremony ensuring our documents were sent in promptly and providing me details on name-change processes that I would need going forward. I would highly recommend Kayelily and her services to anyone looking for a simple ceremony that is full of heart, and cannot thank her enough.

Rev. Kayelily was the perfect officiant for our intimate ceremony in our home. She supported us along the way, making sure we knew what to expect, and even after the ceremony sharing the next steps regarding our license, etc. Her delivery was sincere and fun, and our guests were touched by the way she told our love story. There wasn’t a dry eye in the house! We would recommend Kayelily to any couple looking for a unique and personal ceremony.

Kayelily did a fabulous job at our wedding ceremony. She was great throughout the whole process and helped us create a ceremony that we were so happy with and was really personal to us. She helped the rehearsal go smoothly and made sure we had all of the legal documents and information we needed! Many guests told us it was the best wedding ceremony they had ever been to. Thank you Kayelily!

Kayelily is the best at what she does and her attention to detail is beautiful. She takes your guest on a magical ride of emotions as she tells your love story. I had attended a wedding 5 years ago that she officiated and was so excited to know she was available to affiliate ours. Kayelily and her husband Dave were such a delight and such a wonderful addition to our guest list. I can't say enough great things about her, but I will say this, if you want something different and memorable you need to hire Kayelily Middleton ❤️

Kayelily was incredible! We truly could not have had a more perfect person for our ceremony. She helped craft a beautiful love story to share with our guests and everyone loved it. She is so wonderful!

I was lucky enough to see Kayelily officiate my cousin’s wedding. I knew then if I ever were to get married I wanted her to officiate it. When my fiancé and I got engaged, she was one of the first people I knew I had to book. We reached out and she luckily had our Friday the 13th date open!! We booked and from then on the communication was amazing. She cultivated the perfect ceremony and made it so emotional and authentic to us. She weaves together answers that both Michael and I gave to questions that she sends and narrated our love story. Michael and I did not want to read our own vows, but she has a secret paragraph that you hear the day of the wedding. It is perfect and many of our guests commented on the ceremony. Thank you, Kayelily, for being part of our day!

Kayelily was an incredible pick for our wedding! She was professional, personable and had great attention to detail. She made out ceremony feel special and gave us complete autonomy to make it how we wanted it. She provided lots of recommendations and material which helped us a ton. We highly recommend hiring her for your special day!

We are so happy we chose Reverend Kayelily Middleton to be the officiant for our wedding! Kayelily did an amazing job in guiding us through the process of planning our wedding ceremony, and in helping us include all the family traditions that were important to us. We absolutely loved the unique story Kayelily wrote about how we met and fell in love, and are so appreciative of the special touch it added to our ceremony. We received so many compliments from friends and family on our wedding ceremony, and cannot thank Kayelily enough!!

Kayelily officiated our Raleigh wedding and we absolutely loved working with her! Her process allows the ceremony to be built so uniquely to the couple and really makes it feel so special, without feeling like a ton of work. She was very helpful, responsive, and organized which made the entire process smooth. We enjoyed working with her to carefully create a wedding that felt true to us, and our guests were so impressed! We received so many compliments on the structure of the ceremony as well as Kayelily's delivery. I highly recommend Kayelily to make your wedding truly special!

Kayelily did an outstanding job officiating our wedding! She took the time to really get to know us before the ceremony and made our ceremony so perfect and special. She felt like a friend up there with us because she made us both feel so comfortable. We would highly recommend working with Kayelily!

Kayelily was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. We almost went with a different officiant before we heard about Kayelily and we are so glad we didn’t. She is organized, experienced, and so sweet. She helps you come up with the ceremony of your dreams. She wears a microphone which is so nice because I have been to so many weddings where I could not hear the officiant. My grandparents sat on the porch of our venue - which was quite far from her and they heard everything perfectly. We had so many people compliment our ceremony and people are still talking about it, and how well she did, 1 month later! Whether you want traditional or something more modern, she helps you tailor your ceremony to fit you as a couple. I really could not recommend her more! 10/10.

Rev. Kayelily was amazing at orchestrating our special ceremony. She worked so closely with us to weave together our personal story. Her smile was a warm welcome for all the guests and her voice truly set the stage for our lovely ceremony.

Kayelily is awesome! She helped us create a very personal and soulful wedding experience for ourselves and our guests. I don't think there was a dry eye in the house. In the weeks leading up to the wedding she guided us on what to share, incorporating our children and our parents into the ceremony, writing our vows and special "love notes", and sharing our love story. She also helps with the details of your paperwork and reminds you of details to remember. She is VERY professional while also being VERY down to earth. Our guests thought we'd known her for years. We are so happy we chose Kayelily!

**Everyone is still talking about how much they loved our ceremony!!** My husband and I cannot recommend Kayelily enough! We are a non-traditional family with spiritual beliefs and blended religions/cultures. Hiring Kayelily ended up being a no-brainer especially after having our first meeting with her! She has an amazing format that creates the perfectly curated, yet personal, ceremony. We were able to choose scriptures, readings, and vows that spoke to us as a couple without compromising who we were as individuals. Additionally, we had two of our family members do readings which made the ceremony feel more intimate to all of our guests. There were deep belly laughs and some uncontrollable tears but the entire ceremony felt like it was surrounded by love and happiness which we attribute to Kayelily's ability to get to know a couple! We are so happy we chose Kayelily and recommend her to any couple looking for an officiant!

I highly recommend Kayelily!! We got so many compliments from our friends and family about how wonderful and personalized the ceremony was. She was also great to work with!

We absolutely recommend Kayelily! We had such a wonderful experience working with her to conduct our marriage ceremony. Kayelily is professional, organized and overall made the process so seamless and easy. She was on top of everything and helped guide us through the process in more ways than we expected. And most importantly, the ceremony was perfect and so special.

We got married 05/20/22 -- Kayelily was always quick to reply to us, easy to work with, and supplied us with more than enough material to help us create the ceremony of our dreams. Kayelily stood out from other officiants because she really guides you and allows you to put your story together in a ceremony that represents you and your significant other. It was really customized to us, and it felt special. We didn't have an especially religious ceremony and felt comfortable with her; but we could have felt equally as comfortable if we were highly religious, she just makes you feel that at ease. We had so many people come to us after the ceremony and tell us they had never been to such a unique, intimate, special wedding ceremony before - and it's all thanks to Kayelily! I can't say enough how much we HIGHLY RECOMMEND KAYELILY!!!!

We got so many compliments from our guests on how amazing a job Kayelily did for our ceremony! She had the resources and expertise to make what could have been a stressful process a total breeze. At the beginning of the process, she provided us with several templates, which allowed us to spark ideas and pick and choose the ceremony that would make our day special. She seamlessly weaved together our stories into a beautiful narrative, set the stage for the whole evening. And to cap it all off her 'secret paragraphs' based on our stories moved my wife and I to tears. We couldn't have been happier to have Kayelily make our life together official!

My husband and I loved working with Kayelily. She did such a great job personalizing our ceremony. We received so many compliments from our friends and family on how special our ceremony was. I would highly recommend her to anyone!

Kayelily was so sweet and professional throughout the process of preparing our ceremony. From the start her experience shined through in her suggestions for word count and flow to deliver a ceremony that almost every single one of our guests commented on at the reception. She was very accommodating to our ceremony touches that were personal to our family and had endless number of ideas that she shared with us as we came up with our own vows to exchange with our kids and each other. Can't recommend her highly enough and so thankful for our ceremony and her help in merging out family.

She was awesome! I didn’t have to worry about anything with her as our officiant. She also helped me along the way on how to get things done that I needed to. It was a relief knowing I could count on her.

Working with Kayelily was amazing!! She customized the entire ceremony based on selections that we made and our personal love story. She was super detailed and made sure that we were 100% ready for our special day. The ceremony could not have been more perfect. We absolutely recommend Kayelily to anyone looking for an officiant!!!

Kayelily put on the most amazing ceremony we could have asked for! She was incredibly helpful even months before the wedding. On our first Zoom call with her we immediately clicked and knew she would do an outstanding job. Even with a slight weather delay, Kayelily immediately adjusted the ceremony script in order to get everyone to cocktail hour on time because she knew how important that was to us. We would highly recommend her to anyone planning their wedding!

Kayelily was our wedding officiant on 4.23/22 at Oaks at Salem in Apex, NC. We have no words to express our gratitude to her ! The ceremony was absolutely beautiful and she took the time to ensure our love story was incorporated in the ceremony, as well as remembering my father's passing during the ceremony. She is very professional and she is in command ! We recommend her 100%. We love you, Kayelily ! Vilma and Tom

Kayelily Middleton was our wedding officiant this past weekend and I can not say enough fabulous things! She was genuine, personable and organized! Our entire ceremony was perfect and owe it to her! She made our ceremony personalized to what we envisioned on our wedding day! Highly recommend Kayelily for your special day!

I can not recommended Kayelily enough!! She was the officiant at our wedding in April and it was absolutely fabulous! How she works with you as a couple to create your one of a kind ceremony is amazing and truly a unique experience. Our ceremony was fun, unique, intimate, and all our guests told us how much they loved our ceremony and Kayelily! None of the wedding guests had been to a ceremony like that, it really made the day so special and tailored to us as a couple. I highly recommend Kayelily!

It was such a pleasure to have Kayelily officiate our wedding! She was responsive from the very beginning when we reached out to inquire about her availability for our date and continued to be timely and professional throughout the entire process. We appreciated her offer to do a Zoom meeting with us to discuss our wishes for the ceremony and patiently answer all of our questions. She is dedicated to working together to create a personalized experience that is meaningful and fun. Our ceremony turned out to be exactly what we envisioned thanks to Kayelily!

Kayelily went above and beyond to help create a personal and emotional ceremony that we’ll never forget. She did everything to make sure we were comfortable during our ceremony and she received many complements from our guests, with good reason. You won’t regret choosing her as your officiant.

Reverend Kayelily was the most wonderful, warm, and kind person to work with! She guided us through the construction of our ceremony and was quick to suggest any changes/offer advice. Our ceremony was so personal, with just the right amount of tears and laughs, and so many guests came up to me to compliment how unique and "us" our ceremony was. She made sure our rehearsal went off without a hitch and I couldn't imagine our big day without her!

Cannot say enough wonderful things about Kaylilly. She officiated my daughter’s wedding this past weekend. Her humor, patience and gentle guidance put everyone at ease. Her wanting to know the story behind the couple was refreshing. She told their story beautifully. She was the perfect choice for their officiant. We thank you from the bottom of our hearts!!!! Lindsay’s mom

Reverend Kayelily was the best! She's very helpful and professional. Since me and my husband are a very young couple, she guided us all throughout the whole process (from initially doing an 8 person wedding to a 40 person wedding!) We definitely recommend her!

Inclusive, easy to work with, and professional. The easiest of any of our wedding vendors to get a hold of and the most punctual.

Amazing! Kayelily made the process very enjoyable for the both of us. She set a timeline out for us and nudged us to stick to it. Our ceremony was the right mix of formal and personal. I really loved our ceremony and all the pieces that went into it.

Don't look any further for an officiant - she is the one! Working with Kayelily was an absolute dream. She is professional, super responsive and clearly has a passion for what she does. She works with you to create a completely personalized wedding ceremony including how you met, your love story and even secret paragraphs that you write about each other that aren't revealed until the ceremony.

My husband and I got married with a very small group during COVID last year (October 2020) and then had our big celebration a few weeks ago. Kayelily was nice enough to officiate our small ceremony last year, and even edited our ceremony to fit the intimate setting. She also officiated our big celebration this year with the most amazing ceremony that we will never forget! We loved being able to work together to write out the perfect ceremony that fit our needs and wants. We are not a religious couple, so we were able to make a ceremony that was more about our love story and how we feel about each other. We received so many compliments from our guests that they loved our ceremony and that it was so different from the status quo. Kayelily is also so easy to work with! She provided many ideas and options for our ceremony but also let us choose what we wanted to do. She always responds to emails so quickly and is always willing to help. She is an amazing speaker and will present your ceremony perfectly. You will not go wrong in hiring and working with Kayelily Middleton!

You won't have to worry about anything with Kayelily as your officiant! Her organization and vast resources of material gave me peace of mind in an otherwise crazy and hectic planning 2 years! She personalizes your ceremony just for you- telling the story of how you met, fell in love, and chose to marry. Make sure you bring your tissues, because she will also ask each partner to tell her what they love about the other and why they want to marry, and she will weave it into a beautiful sentiment that you'll hear for the first time at your ceremony! The first thing our guests said after the ceremony was how great it was! Even some of our closest friends and family did not know all the details of how we met, so they loved to hear the story! Not a dry eye in the house. :)

Kayelily was amazing and never missed a beat. We highly recommend her to anyone regardless of wedding style!

Reverend Kayelily was brought to us by my grandparents vow renewal. When my (now husband) proposed to me, and mom reminded me of this, I just knew we had to ask for her assistance in making our day perfect. And perfect she did make it - she was absolutely wonderful and wrote our story to tell everyone better than even I could have imagined. There wasn't a dry eye in the ceremony and it was all thanks to her wonderful story telling. Reverend Kayelily doesn't forget anything, and knows what questions to ask to help make our vows perfect. Even when my husband and I forgot to enter how we wanted the exchanging of rings to be in the ceremony, she knew exactly what route to take to insert that portion and it was so wonderful. We absolutely loved her and wouldn't have wanted anyone else for our special day!

Kayelily was so easy to work with. She was so responsive, kind, and detail oriented. A truly kind person who loves what she does. My now wife and I could not have asked for a more lovely wedding officiant. We had a micro wedding and didn’t have a plan for a time or location at all, Kayelily was able to suggest a beautiful venue and even picked a photogenic spot out for us for the ceremony. A truly pleasant person with a comforting presence, you won’t regret using her services.

Kayelily is fantastic! She is so organized and prepared, helped us craft the perfect ceremony, and was so helpful every step of the way. She had so many pieces of advice and had well written instructions and examples for everything. Everyone loved her work and I couldn't have been happier! She was great to work with and I highly recommend her.

Even when unexpected things happened to us leading up to the wedding date, Kayelily made things super easy and had a solution to everything.

Kayelily was an amazing officiant! Our wedding was originally scheduled when covid hit and she was so flexible in changing our date. She also did something very special for us since our wedding had to be postponed due to covid she did a elopement ceremony for us. When our big day finally arrived she made it so special for us and our guests. Even though at that point we were already married she changed the ceremony to a renewal of vows but kept the personalized parts we fell in love with.

Through the long and tedious path to our wedding day, starting in 2018 after we got engaged and meandering through 2020 with COVID and several rescheduled dates to finally having our big day June 2021, I felt that Kayelily was figuratively right by my side the entire time. Kayelily was the first vendor I booked for our wedding. I had done extensive research online to find an officiant who matched best with myself and my fiance and I found that Kayelily was able to perform a wide range of ceremonies, all equally beautiful. I found myself tearing up watching wedding ceremony videos for couples I didn't even know. I loved how personal she made the ceremonies and that was what I was looking for in an officiant. I I wanted my ceremony to be so touching that random people would tear up watching MY video. If my wedding guests' reactions were any indication, the video of our ceremony will be one for the books. Kayelily is so professional and even though she is involved with so many weddings, she makes every single one a priority and makes every couple feel so very important. Thank you, Kayelily, for helping make all of my wedding dreams come true!

We had the best experience with Kayelily. We originally heard her at a friend’s wedding and knew we needed her for ours (we weren’t even engaged at that point!) She learned about our story and our relationship and created a beautiful, funny, and emotional ceremony. She was very responsive, gave kind reminders when she needed information from us, and worked with us to make sure we had the exact ceremony we wanted despite COVID delaying our wedding. She also helped us navigate logistics to get our marriage license and other details. 10/10 would recommend!!

Working with Kayelily was an extraordinary experience from meeting with her at our initial visit, doing premarital counseling with her (not required but a great option and super cool process if you're looking to do it!), to having to change our date due to COVID, she was there for us every step of the way! Our completely customizable ceremony really showed who we are as a couple and our guests loved it! Since we had gotten married in a small ceremony earlier due to COVID, Kayelily was willing to be flexible and help change our big ceremony to be exactly what we hoped. She was engaging, helpful, and such a pleasure to work with through the entire process of getting married- we highly recommend her to anyone looking for a unique, personal, and perfect officiant!!

Kayelily was an amazing officiant for our ceremony. We learned of her from our wedding planner, she had done many weddings at our venue. We are not a very religious couple so we wanted someone who could provide a meaningful ceremony that matched our values and our quirky personalities. We really lucked out and had the perfect officiant - she was able to get to know us (by zoom, cause well, 2020...) through several meetings. She had a great library of ceremonies we were able to read through and learn what things we did and did not want in our wedding. Through our feedback, surveys and interactions, she created a ceremony that described our relationship like she had been with us since day 1. We were incredibly happy with the entire experience!

Kayelilly was great at helping us build a ceremony that fit our small wedding needs - Thanks again!

Kayelily Middleton was our officiant in our wedding, she was very profesional, the ceremony was so romantic, and fun, she is an absolutely amazing Love-Story teller! We enjoy our ceremony so much because of her work, she's awesome!

Kayelily was amazing. She helped us put together a perfect ceremony. She was always available when I needed a question answered. I would definitely recommend her.

Kayelily was so wonderful. She helped us with putting together a perfect ceremony that we, and our guests, loved. It was so personable and light- we were laughing and smiling at her work.

Kayelily did a wonderful job at our wedding! She responded promptly when we emailed her and was very professional. The experience to create our perfect ceremony was easy with her help! Everyone at the wedding loved it! Highly recommend. She was very flexible with our venue change due to Covid as well.
