The wedding ceremony is an important rite of passage and milestone in one's life and one of the most important elements of each couple's wedding day. I work closely with each couple to create a personal and meaningful ceremony that best reflects who they are and what their hopes and dreams are for their marriage. Each couple is unique and their wedding ceremony should be a reflection of that uniqueness! I guide each couple through the whole process of getting their marriage license, envisioning and crafting their ideal ceremony, selecting or writing their vows and providing ideas and samples for unique rituals. I welcome all creativity, fun and thoughtfulness! After the wedding, I provide comprehensive information on the paperwork required for any name change and legal documents. As a seminary trained and ordained Interfaith Minister and Chaplain, I am uniquely qualified to perform spiritual, secular or religious ceremonies according to each couple's belief system, as well as family and cultural traditions. I can help with ceremony staging and rehearsal direction and work cooperatively with planners, photographers, videographers and DJ's. Each ceremony I have officiated has been unique and special; weddings in the woods, on the beach, in intimate and grand chapels, with kids and dogs, and even donkeys and peacocks! Traditional, offbeat, earthy, nerdy, short and sweet, casual or formal ceremonies - I love them all and thrive on the diversity of the couples I serve. Although I do not require pre-marital counseling to officiate a wedding ceremony, I do recommend it and offer it.
My mission is to listen closely to each partner about what they do and do not want in their ceremony. To honor all cultural, spiritual, religious and secular worldviews, backgrounds, traditions and belief systems. To think through all logistics and craft a personal, sacred and meaningful ceremony.
As a long time marriage equality ally, LGBTQIA+ weddings are most welcome!
Thank you for considering me as your Wedding Minister/Officiant for your special day. It is an honor and a blessing to officiate weddings.

Hi! I was ordained as an Interfaith Minister in 2010 to minister to people of all different faith traditions, belief systems and secular worldviews. I love officiating weddings and pre-marital counseling because I get to know such diverse and awesome couples with their own unique stories and circumstances. It is such a joy and a privilege to be a part of such a special day in a couple's life and to witness and facilitate such an intimate moment as the couple begins the next chapter of their relationship together!

Kathie was the perfect choice to officiate our wedding. We were looking for someone who would work with us to create the ceremony with details that we knew we wanted to customize, but would know the order of things and have amazing script options to choose from. She seriously sent us pages and pages of options so we could choose things that were genuine and authentic to us!
She was on time, helped explain the process from start to finish, was an eloquent speaker, and coordinated with our DJ for sound and music. She was very communicative, flexible, patient, and helpful! After the marriage license was turned in, she communicated that promptly and included a whole document with tips for how to change my last name! SO HELPFUL!!! I highly recommend Kathie to officiate your ceremony as well!

Rev. Kathie was wonderful and just who we needed to help celebrate the most important day of our lives! She truly is a professional and performed our ceremony perfectly! We couldn't have asked for a better person to celebrate our special day! She is very communicative and timely with responses and was able to help us form our vision for our perfect day and had many suggestions if you don't know where to start! I would definitely recommend her for your beautiful day!

Kathie performed a non-religious ceremony for us with only a couple months notice. The words she used during the service were simply beautiful. My family gave me a lot of compliments on Kathie.
Kathie is very professional and I would recommend her to anyone looking for a wedding officiant.

Kathie went above and beyond to make our day special! Her storytelling ability is one of a kind, we can't express how special she made our wedding ceremony. She took the time to get to know us, and specially tailored our ceremony to fulfill our version perfectly. She has such a kind, angelic presence that calmed our nerves on the big day! She walked us through every aspect of the process, and truly made the whole experience enjoyable and easy! We are so appreciative to have had her perform our ceremony and can't recommend her services enough! You cannot go wrong with choosing her for your special day. Thank you again Kathie for exceeding all of our expectations!!!

Kathie was our officiant for our April 2024 wedding. She was so kind and amazing to work with when planning our wedding ceremony!
She was always very quick to respond to emails and apply any changes we wanted to our vows. She made that portion of the wedding planning process easy! She allowed us to have freedom with our ceremony choices, which was wonderful since we did not plan to have a religious/spiritual ceremony. She was a wonderful officiant and I would highly recommend her!

Kathie was an incredible officiant for our wedding and such an amazing support system in the months leading up. We met with her several times before our big weekend to dive deeper into our relationship. She provided us the space, openness, and creativity to design our wedding ceremony exactly how we envisioned and executed it beautifully day-of. Always polite, on time, responsive, pleasant, and reliable - we loved working with Kathie!

Kathie was a very easy choice for us for our ceremony. We needed an officiant who would easily do an inter-faith ceremony and Kathie was truly willing to do whatever we want. She truly lets you customize your ceremony exactly how you want it. She let us edit our ceremony script a million times before the day. She was extremely professional and our ceremony was pure perfection! Anyone looking for an officiant in Raleigh I would highly recommend Rev. Kathie!!

Rev. Kathie was perfect for us! We hired her to conduct a secular ceremony for us this May and she knocked it out of the park! She crafted such a personal and beautiful ceremony despite only knowing us through a questionnaire and even gave us helpful feedback on the personal vows we wrote for one another. We got tons of complements on the ceremony! You will love working with Kathie!

Kathie was amazing. She stepped in at the very last minute to officiate due to an emergency situation coming up. We only met her the day before our ceremony but it still felt like we had known her for a long time. She executed the ceremony perfectly and we couldn’t be happier! Highly recommend her!

Kathie was absolutely fantastic to work with! We booked her early on in our wedding planning, about two years ago at this point, and she stuck with us through all our planning ups and downs and really helped make our wedding wonderful. She was able to accommodate us when we pushed back a year due to covid, and then again when I ended up getting covid four days before our rescheduled date and scrambled to re-plan both our big wedding and a small backyard distanced ceremony for the intended date. She was able to put together an absolutely beautiful ceremony for both our private ceremony and then a redo of the ceremony in front of our friends and family. She really went out of her way to get to know us and help us out, and even found us a new ceremony musician when ours couldn't make the rescheduled date! She was very accommodating and understanding of any religious beliefs, values, and making the ceremony really reflect what we care about and personalizing it for us. She also had a bunch of helpful resources for writing vows, etc. Talking with her was really wonderful and helped me organize my thoughts on what I value most in my partner and what I wanted to say in my vows, and I really treasure her help in making our wedding an absolute dream and helping to set us up for a wonderful marriage. Thank you Kathie!!!

Kathie officiated our wedding ceremony at The Barn of Chapel Hill and she did such a fantastic job! We worked with Kathie to create a meaningful ceremony that perfectly reflected our love story. We wrote personal vows for each other, and Kathie helped review our vows individually so that they were the same length and style. We highly recommend Kathie to officiate your wedding ceremony, as she is so great to work with!

Kathie was an absolute pleasure to work with, from initial planning to vow wording and everything in between. She was eager to sit down and understand us as a couple to make our special day all that much more special with a wholly customized ceremony! Always prompt, courteous, and open to suggestions we presented. We both feel that we received EXACTLY what we were hoping for from the officiant and couldn't be happier. Highly recommended!

Kathie was the perfect choice for our wedding officiant! She is so helpful and nice to work with, and helped us to create a unique ceremony that was exactly us, and while we loved it leading up to the big day, the actual thing was even better than we could have dreamed. We had so many nerves that the ceremony went by so fast, but we really appreciated how calming Kathie's voice and tone were reading everything out. We also got a TON of compliments on the ceremony from all our family and friends, and it might have been my favorite part of the entire night.

Kathie was a wonderfully helpful and thoughtful in planning and then conducting the elements of our wedding that she performed with another co-officiant. She shared samples from past weddings that we could adapt to our needs without having to start from scratch. Her suggestion to personalize the service with secret statements about each other was our favorite part of the wedding. During the wedding, Kathie also performed our hand fasting ceremony beautifully. Our pictures and video show that Kathie's smile and laughter radiated joy and love. As a same-sex couple, we felt fully embraced and supported by Kathie's trademark kindness.

Kathie really put my husband and I at ease we had our officiant cancel on us two weeks from our wedding. Kathie ensured us that she can put something together very special for us in such a short time period and boy did she deliver. She is so kind and really gave us the ceremony we wanted. We are so happy we chose Kathie!
