First, our guests were impressed and inspired by Kathleen’s speech during the ceremony. Kathleen's speech was empowering and captured everyone’ attention. Prior to our ceremony, we...
met with Kathleen for monthly premarital counseling. We loved our experience with Kathleen as we had a personal connection with her. Her counseling has helped shape the beginning of our marriage- as her advice and guidance were insightful as it built a solid marriage foundation once we said. “I do”.
Kathleen, thank you for being our wedding officiant. It was a beautiful day and Kathleen will forever be in our hearts.
We loved Kathleen! At our first meeting, I knew Kathleen was the one. She has a sweet spirit, and as we learned during our meetings, she is fair and equitable—she never took sides....
She met with us for an hour once a month for a year via Zoom (as we were in TX). Every week she asked how we were doing, talked us through disagreements, discussed what each us wanted/expected from marriage. It was always like talking to a friend. She never made us feel like we were in a premarital counseling session. By the time we met her in person over a year later, we were old friends! The ceremony beautiful and as we wanted. The wonderful thing about working with Kathleen is it’s never about her. She always focuses on what you want/need. I highly recommend Kathleen!
Kathleen was wonderful! In the wedding planning process (she was not involved in this part) we were starting to feel like this is just any event we are planning. That all changed w...
hen Kathleen had stand across one another, hold hands, and repeat the wonderful vows. She made it a special moment and really aware of the new journey we were starting on.
We highly recommend Kathleen!
We are so happy Kathleen captained our wedding ceremony. It was everything we hoped it would be. Our guests told us they felt like Kathleen took them on a spiritual journey, which ...
is so beautiful. She has a confident and calming energy that made my husband and I, including our guests, comfortable. Kathleen met with us on multiple occasions to ensure we were happy with the ceremony she planned. We give Kathleen our highest recommendation and are honored she was part of our wedding experience. Thank you, Kathleen!!!
Kathleen was wonderful to work with. Her caring and thoughtful approach really helped us slow down and pay attention to the commitment we were making - both during the planning and...
in the ceremony itself. We both benefitted greatly from meeting with her in the months leading up to our wedding, and found her to be a calming and grounding presence day-of. Thank you Kathleen for your time and your thoughtful contributions!
Kathleen made our day and ceremony just perfect! She took the time to get to know us and personalize the ceremony. We met with her a few times so she could get to know us as a co...

Do not hesitate to work with Kathleen. She made our day so special.
We loved having Kathleen as the officiant for our wedding. We met with her several times before the big day to talk about us as a couple and plan for the wedding. She gave us a lot...
to think about and put together the most beautiful and personal ceremony for us. So many of our guests commented on how lovely our ceremony was and how much it felt like us. Kathleen was kind, easy to work with, and very professional. Thank you Kathleen for everything!
Kathleen was phenomenal our wedding day and every day leading up. Her counseling prior to our wedding was not only helpful, but brought us closer as a couple. She provided sound ad...
vice and even help us write our vows and personal words. Our friends and family remarked how beautiful our ceremony was after. Our grandparents in particular really enjoyed the narratives she shares, which made it more special for the two of us. She was helpful, pleasant to work with, and provided a lovely ceremony. We would recommend Kathleen to anyone looking to get married.
Kathleen delivered such a beautiful ceremony that truly captured our love and our spiritual journey. My husband and I come from very different faith backgrounds, and Kathleen was a...

If I could give more stars I would!! Kathleen was absolutely incredible, kind, and exceptionally detailed during the planning and ceremony. Joe and I were blown away with gratitude...
for Kathleen!! The personal stories, allowing us to write our own vows, and including our family and friends in the ceremony process gave our day a new level of intimacy. Our guests couldn’t say enough wonderful words about the ceremony! Thank you, Kathleen! We adore you!
We frequently talk about how our wedding day could not have gone any better and in that discussion, Rev. Kathleen comes up a lot. From our first meeting with her up until the big d...
ay she was so personal and felt like we had known her for so much longer. We don't think we could have found anyone better. She worked with us on short term notice due to a covid rescheduled wedding and put together the most beautiful ceremony for our small audience.
We don’t really know how to thank Rev. Kathleen Casserly enough.
Getting engaged in 2018 my husband and I always envisioned a stress free 2 years of wedding planning and a perfec...
t day— then came COVID.
We not only changed wedding plans 3 times but we lost our planned officiant for the 3rd plan SIX days before the ceremony. In finding Kathleen we ended up finding the best officiant yet!
Our very brief getting to know each other call left us feeling so calm and confident in our new plan. Our ceremony was exactly wht we wanted from the start - focused on us, our love, and beautiful. Kathleen was so caring and professional We could not have asked for a better officiant. She allowed us to customize as much as we wanted while also making suggestions to make the ceremony more cohesive and meaningful.
We traveled 7 hours to get married in Vermont and we strongly recommend if you’re getting married in this area you contact Kathleen!!
Kathleen went above & beyond for our wedding! Kathleen is a wealth of knowledge wrt various wedding traditions, & she gave us great ideas to incorporate additional fun & meaning in...
to our ceremony. She was extremely professional & accommodating, & even arrived 30 minutes earlier on the day of to make sure we were good to go! She gave us great words of encouragement & advice throughout, both pre/during/post ceremony, & we couldn't be more grateful to have had her as our officiant. TY again!
We highly recommend Kathleen as your wedding officiant!!! She made our ceremony so beautiful and special. We couldn’t have asked for more. She has this kind, calmness about her tha...
t is very comforting on what can be a stressful day. She was always early and seemed to genuinely care about our vision for our special day.
I cannot say enough good things about Kathleen and our experience working with her. Kathleen goes above and beyond an officiant. Her kind and fair ways made it super easy for my hu...
sband and I to talk to her and share our concerns and needs. She gets to know you both before the ceremony and was a crucial part in our marriage and the most important part of our wedding ceremony. She is able to go with the flow as-well. On our wedding day the ceremony space flooded by rain and she helped us to update our ceremony on the spot and still managed to make it all work beautifully. Hiring Kathleen was the best choice :)
I highly recommend Kathleen as an officiant for any couple who is looking for a meaningful and personalized wedding ceremony. Throughout the course of our engagement, Kathleen met ...
with my husband and I on several occasions to get to know us, not only for a better understanding as to what we wanted for our ceremony, but to get to know us for who we are as individuals and as a couple. I was immediately drawn Kathleen’s kind and gentle disposition and openness. She was nothing short of devoted and dedicated to helping us create a ceremony itinerary that incorporated our values. She helped us highlight what is meaningful for us presently and what we wish for our future together. My husband and I were more than satisfied- our ceremony was absolutely perfect. My family and friends commented specifically on how unique and beautiful our ceremony was. I could truly go on and on, but to summarize- Kathleen is a wonderful person and an officiant I would HIGHLY recommend for any couple!
Kathleen was the celebrant at my niece's wedding a week ago and I sought her out after the service to express to her how much I enjoyed the ceremony. She has a calm, serene, yet v...
ibrant energy and spoke words that captured the couple's love and commitment and rang true to the family and friends that know them. Although not a traditionally religious ceremony, Kathleen honored the sanctity of marriage and the sacredness of their vows and their belief that a love greater than their own had brought them together.
Kathleen was a gift sent from heaven. We loved, loved, loved working with her and the beautiful ceremony she helped us create. Kathleen's combined warmth, calm demeanor, emotional ...
depth, worldliness, and knowledge make her a unique and exemplary wedding officiant. She helped us remain focused on the meaning of marriage, to us, rather than getting caught in the unnecessary details. Throughout the entire process she remained collaborative, thoughtfully balancing our requests/desired vibe with her opinions/suggestions. ALL of our guests raved about our ceremony and communicated that Kathleen was the best officiant they'd ever seen - we agree!! We highly, highly recommend Kathleen! Thank you SO much Kathleen for the most memorable ceremony possible. You'll be in our hearts for always!
Kathleen is amazing to work with!! She really took the time to get to know both of us and our relationship to create a magical and personal ceremony. She had a lot of really lovely...
ideas for how to make the ceremony special and personalized. The sessions with her leading up to the wedding were a really helpful, to focus on our marriage (instead of party planning). She creates a safe and non-judgmental environment which allows for you and your partner to discuss your lives and what you want from your marriage. She is really a delight and I would highly recommend her to anyone!!
Kathleen is amazing! She has the most wonderful energy. She is so experienced. She knows exactly what needs to be done, she writes the most beautiful ceremony. I can’t say enough a...
bout her. I am so thankful she was a part of our day.
Kathleen was absolutely fantastic. We really enjoyed the time we spent talking with her and learning about ourselves and our relationship before we got married. During this time, ...
Kathleen also got to know us, and used that to personalize our ceremony. It was a little difficult because my husband is not religious, but I am. Kathleen was able to find that perfect harmony where it was very meaningful for both of us. We loved our ceremony, and our wedding. We feel blessed to have had Kathleen a part of it. She is very thoughtful, considerate, and helps with all the details!
My husband and I had the pleasure of having Kathleen write and perform our ceremony. She had many helpful suggestions as for the content of the ceremony to make it personal and me...
aningful, two characteristics that were very important to us. On the day of the wedding, her calm demeanor and quiet confidence provided both of us with the grounding that we needed to stay present, calm, and happy during such an important time. Thank you, Kathleen.

Rev. Kathleen was an amazing addition to our wedding. We met with her prior to the wedding and she took hours getting to know us (even before we agreed to hire her). During that pr...
e-wedding meeting she was taking notes and listening to our needs and wants. During the ceremony we were so surprised to hear her use our own words used to describe each other and different observations she made while we were meeting. She was funny, kind, warm and caring. We could not have asked for more. I wish everyone could have Rev. Kathleen at their wedding as it was an amazing way to start a lifetime together!
It was truly a great honor to have Rev. Kathleen at our wedding this past Saturday, April 16,2016. Prior to our wedding we met a few times and felt comfortable with her from the st...
art. It was easy to talk to her and felt so natural. She listened as we introduced ourselves and what we loved about each other. She created a beautifully, custom ceremony that everyone raved about. All of our family and friends had tears of joy as they were touched by all of her kind words. She has a big heart and makes everything very personalized which is why we would recommend her to everyone.
Rev. Kathleen Casserly was an absolute joy to work with. My husband and I had the privilege to get to know her over the course of our wedding planning. She wrote the most beautiful...
and heartfelt ceremony that was uniquely ours! There was so much love in the room as a result of her kind and loving demeanor. All of our guests commented on how much our own personalities came through the ceremony. She truly offers a custom ceremony tailored to you. There is nothing cookie cutter about her ceremonies. I would highly recommend her for all the services she provides!!
Our wedding ceremony was PERFECT! Rev. Kathleen did an awesome job officiating our beach wedding in Atlantic Beach! She was absolutely wonderful... She has touched many of our fami...
ly and friend's lives with her beautiful words at the ceremony. Communication and dealing with her was easy... She was very flexible and made sure she listened and considered all my wishes. My husband and I enjoyed meeting her even if that meant traveling an hour to see her... we love having conversations with her because not only does she tackles wedding preparation but also spoke about personal things which somehow helped me and my husband understand each other. She helped us a lot throughout the process and very attentive to all our needs. I highly recommend her to anyone who is getting married.... Not only that her fees are reasonable but she went beyond our expectations.
Reverend Kathleen Casserly officiated our wedding on July 11, 2015 and we could not be happier with how beautiful our ceremony was. Kathleen met with my husband and I many times to...
get to know us better as a couple, and truly listen to our wants and desires for our wedding. Everything came out better than we could ever have imagined! Guests could not stop raving about how meaningful and special it was. My parents are still talking about how happy they are that Kathleen officiated our wedding, and my husband and I could not be happier! One of the best decisions of our entire wedding was to allow Kathleen to make our ceremony unforgettable.
We first met Reverend Kathleen Casserly when she performed the wedding ceremony of a friend’s daughter about a year and a half ago. The ceremony was beautiful and we were deeply m...
oved by her touching words. We had the opportunity to speak with Kathleen after the service and said that if we ever got married, we would want her to officiate our ceremony. In April, when we got engaged, one of our first calls was to Kathleen to see if she would be able to marry us. We then met to discuss the ceremony and she got to know us a bit. We sat together to plan a wedding ceremony with her guidance. On the day of our wedding, Kathleen used a combination of her spiritual background, our spiritual backgrounds and our personal backgrounds to create a ceremony that was uniquely ours. The readings, thoughts, and general flow of the ceremony were exactly what we wanted. Kathleen incorporated our beliefs, our families, and our feelings into a heartwarming ceremony that was tailor made just for us! Upon the conclusion of the nuptials, all of the guests complimented the moving wedding ceremony that fit us both to a tee! Thank you, Kathleen, for providing us with a memorable wedding ceremony filled with love and blessings.
Kathleen performed our wedding ceremony and we couldn't be happier! She did a great job of getting to know us before the wedding and really tailored the ceremony to make it meaning...
ful to us. She asked us a lot of questions to ensure that nothing was excluded from the ceremony. Our guests are still talking about how beautiful and personal our ceremony was! The best part is that even after the wedding is over, Kathleen is still willing to spend time with us if ever needed! We highly recommend Kathleen!
Rev. Kathleen Casserly was my officiant for my wedding on July 19, 2014. She was absolutely amazing. We met her around October in 2013 and I knew the moment I met her that she was ...
who I wanted for my wedding! Even though I was strapped for cash, she gave me and great deal and was really reasonable for everything that she had to offer to us. We got to go to premarital counseling every month leading up to the wedding and even though at the time I couldn't fathom what we could even talk about, she really helped me and my now husband see that our relationship is beautiful and there's always something that we can fine tone. She was there for us 100% and I really can't imagine how our day might have gone without her. She was even available for counseling over the phone outside of our sessions! I really loved that she got us to dig deep inside ourselves to show each other our souls. This woman is really and truly amazing and her approach to seeing who you are as a couple through the counseling sessions to cater your wedding ceremony to fit you best is what made our wedding truly memorable. There are so many people who still talk about how beautiful my wedding was. This woman is beyond words. Thank you Rev. Casserly for EVERYTHING!!!
Rev. Kathleen Casserly officiated our interfaith wedding ceremony just recently and it was so beautiful! We were not exactly sure what we were looking for when we were looking for ...
an officiant, but after we met her we were sure we found what we wanted. She has a calming presence which we really appreciated during our planning process and on our wedding day. You can tell she really loves and cares about what she does and goes out of her way to make sure the ceremony is individualized in a meaningful way to the couple. The ceremony was a true highlight of our wedding and we will remember it forever. We are so very thankful we found her. You never really hear much talk about 'the wedding officiant' when wedding planning is taking place, however the ceremony is arguably the most important part of the wedding. So be mindful of who you chose! We had compliments all night and even in the days afterwards about what a meaningful and touching ceremony it was, the best many said they have ever seen. We could tell during our initial meeting that she is a special person and has a special way about her, making us feel so comfortable and open. She was genuinely interested in us as individuals and as a couple. She chose the words she spoke so thoughtfully, it was well balanced and spoke to our hearts. I highly recommend her! She is amazing and will make your wedding even more special and meaningful.
Kathleen was so great from beginning to end. She was so pleasant to meet and talk to. My fiance and I really felt comfortable with her. She combined a little pre-marriage counselin...
g with her ceremony services, and she created a beautiful ceremony for us that resonated with everyone present. I had single and attached friends come up to me and say how the ceremony changed their perspective on love in such a good way. Kathleen is so personable, eloquent, and sincere. If you want to make your ceremony special and unique to your relationship, I definitely recommend going straight to Kathleen.
Rev. Kathleen performed our ceremony at Sunken Meadow Beach. Her easy going way and aura of peace and love were noticed by all who attended. She did a beautiful job of crafting a...
ceremony specifically for us to convey the messages and feeling that we wanted to on our wedding day. The ceremony was the most important part of the wedding day for us and Kathleen was a perfect fit! She was a delight work with throughout the entire process and our family and friends raved about her on the day of our wedding and for weeks to follow. We would definitely recommend Kathleen!

y us, so after asking around, we met with Kathleen and we both loved her from day one. We met with her monthly for pre-marital counseling. Kathleen is an amazing human being ... she's sweet, compassionate, honest, and is amazing at demonstrating when she teaches, by exemplifying non-violent communication.
Come the day of the wedding, it was so nice to have her there with us, as someone we built a relationship with, and came to know and trust.
I would recommend meeting with Reverend Kathleen Casserly and I'm sure you would fall in love with her too!
