❤ The Moment Your Forever Begins
For 15 years, I’ve had the honor of standing beside more than 1,800 couples as they promised their hearts to one another—each love story unique, each ceremony a once-in-a-lifetime moment.
I welcome ALL couples—Non-religious, Religious, Spiritual, Interfaith, LGBTQ+, wherever your heart leads you—because love knows no boundaries. My role is to listen to your vision, honor your beliefs, and craft a ceremony that reflects your love for each other.
When we work together, I’ll guide you through the entire process with care. You will receive a customized first draft filled with wording options that capture the heart of your story. Keep only what resonates—because beyond the legal “I do’s” and Pronouncement, every detail is yours to create.
Whether your ceremony is an elopement under a starlit sky, a small gathering in a quiet garden, or at a fancy venue with all your family and friends, it will be filled with meaning, beauty, and joy.
As a seminary-trained (2-year program) and ordained Interfaith Minister, I honor all paths. The legal authorization, as per Pennsylvania's strict marriage laws, allows me the privilege and responsibility of being fully licensed in all 50 states and territories. Your marriage license will always be valid with my signature.
❤ About Me
I was born and raised in the heart of Lancaster County, PA, and it’s still the place I call home. My background is in Social Work and Communications, and I’ve had the honor of serving as a hospice chaplain—an experience that deepened my compassion and appreciation for life’s meaningful moments. When I’m not with my family (including my little grandson, who keeps my heart full), I dive into writing. Creative storytelling brings me joy, and I’m currently bringing several books to life.
❤ The Next Step
Please message, text, email, or call to find out if your date is available. Additionally, check my website for pricing to ensure it fits within your budget. I would love to hear what you envision—and together, we’ll create the moment your forever begins.

Our favorite part of working with Kelly was that she allows you to customize the script (she has a lot of options to choose from or you can create your own) by the time we were done we had the most meaningful ceremony we could have imagined. We did a handfasting ceremony and honestly it just would not have been the same without Kelly. We are so grateful we found her. I absolutely recommend her for your ceremony!

Kelly Jo's system saved us a lot of time and effort! When the wedding day came, Rev. Kelly Jo was prompt, warm, and explained the process of filling out and returning the marriage license clearly. At ceremony time, all the pressure of the preparations suddenly dissipated and we really enjoyed our ceremony, which she did a great job of leading/reading.

There definitely is no one else out there we would ever want to officiate our wedding. 2020 has been tough on everyone. When our wedding had to get postponed from Dec to April due ...
to COVID restrictions, Rev. Kelly graciously still made time for us on our original date to marry us in front of a few family members two days after a pretty big snow storm! We appreciate greatly that we were still able to keep our wedding date and it would have never happened with Rev. Kelly! We plan on doing it all over again in April so everyone can share in the joy of our marriage ceremony but we did not have to wait months to become husband and wife because of Rev. Kelly. She did everything in her power to make sure we were married. And I could never thank her enough!
