The perfect officiant for our wedding ceremony.

Kim was an incredible officiant for our New Years Eve wedding ceremony. We met, and booked her on extremely short notice, only two weeks before our wedding day upon learning that our initial officiant had a sudden scheduling conflict.

After our first meeting, we quickly realized that Kim was the perfect officiant for us. She demonstrated an uncanny ability to discern so much about our vision for our wedding and also about who we are as a couple. That meant a great deal to us in the midst of planning for the big day within a short timeline. Kim was able to follow through with a ceremony program that more than delivered on our vision, from capturing our story, to conveying our theme of family.

There’s no other way to explain the service Kim provided besides spot on. She was just a wonderful person to work with, making us feel seen, heard, and comfortable with the process throughout. Her follow through on the administrative side was timely and consistent, and she was also able to navigate the emergence of some unforeseen matters, including us being under the weather the week before our special day. Overall, Kim was amazing and it’s hard to think of what our wedding ceremony would have been like without her.

Could not Imagine our ceremony without Kim!

First of all, Kim is a wonderfully warm person which makes her an awesome officiant! She really helped my partner and I think about what was important to us throughout the process. She delivers a tailor-made and elegant service. Through our chats, she so beautifully captured our relationship in our ceremony. We had several people ask us how we found her because the ceremony was so thoughtful and moving. If you want a heartfelt ceremony, Kim should be your pick.

Genuine, Flexible and Kind

We hired Kim during the pandemic and on short notice. She worked hard to help us craft a very special day. We could only have two guest and yet Kim helped us to feel like we felt like we had all the love in the world. Thank you Kim!

Thank You Kim!

Kim was integral in the success of our special day! She really took the time to understand my husband and mine's relationship and how we wanted to share our story with our guests. Each time we had a revision or a new idea to include, Kim had recommendations as to how to expertly incorporate them into our ceremony. We appreciated the fact that she had experience navigating all different types of weddings and ceremonies. We are so grateful for her guidance and partnership! Our guests truly left feeling connected to our story and our commitment to each other. Thank you!

Kim was an Amazing Officiant

Kim was an amazingly kind and thoughtful officiant. She took care to craft a ceremony with us that centered our blended family and affirmed us culturally, all high priorities. She also was very clear and flexible with the changes we desired to keep our ceremony safe during quarantine. Overall, we can't say enough how happy we were that Kim was our officiant, we don't think anyone else would regret the choice either.

Completely personalized, intimate, joyful and sweet!

Kim Kirkley was so amazing. She took the time to get to know our love story and masterfully, artistically, and romantically infused that story into our ceremony. The first time we read what she created we were close to tears. We were in shock that someone who was not us could capture the essence of us so beautifully. Our wedding guests were floored and honored that we invited them into the story of us through our ceremony. During the ceremony they laughed, cried, sighed, and were astonished to find out that it wasn't written by us or by someone who had known us throughout the entire journey of our relationship. However, we were proud to say that it was all Kim Kirkley.

If you want a ceremony that feels intimate, joyful, honest, sweet, and sets the stage for your entire day, then Kim Kirkley should be your top choice.

Working with Kim was so worth while!

Kim was such a memorable, wonderful, addition to our wedding! We found Kim on line and within moments of meeting her, we knew we would love to have her as our officiate. We didn't anticiapate considering coaching lessons, but decided to take advantage of one of her packages; we're so glad we did. We thoroughly enjoyed the session, leaving each time with smiles and a deepened connection. It was such a beautiful, gentle reveal of loving truths within our relationship. Kim also introduced simple communication tools that any couple can benefit from as part of the coaching. Our wedding day was a whirlwind, It's hard to recount all the moments, but I can honestly say, the one thing I remember most, was our ceremony. Kim did such a phenomenal job! Her warmth, charisma and attitude for commanding a room, had everyone fully invested in that moment with us! Kim's earthy, grounded demeanor was so stabilizing and authentic. Her delivery was celebratory, and set the tone for the rest of the day. More the one person said it was one of the best ceremonies they'd ever seen. We whole heartedly recommend Kim as an officiant!

Amazing officiant!

Kim officiated our wedding on 7/7/19 in Brooklyn and she exceeded our expectations! We booked Kim very early on in our planning process and from our initial conversation/consultation to going through drafts of the ceremony, she was a consummate professional. She listened to us and centered us and our love, never assumed or thought her ideas were the best and only ways. Our ceremony accurately reflected our love, personalities, interests, and passions. She captured and narrated our love story so beautifully. People laughed, cried, and nodded in agreement during the ceremony. We'd be remiss if we didn't mention Kim's beautiful, yet commanding voice. We highly recommend Kim, without any reservations!

Kim made our ceremony so memorable. She is pleasant, professional, and well-versed in marriage coaching too! Her voice, calm yet exciting demeanor, and charisma throughout the ceremony created such a great love-filled atmosphere. Our guests could not stop talking about how great the ceremony was...how great KIM was!! We are so lucky to have her be a part of our special day.

Married July 2017: After researching for some time an African American, female officiant I was fortunate enough to find THEE Officiant, Kim Kirkley. From the initial consult to the premarital counseling sessions to the wedding, Kim was phenomenal! My favorite part of the whole process was the Premarital Counseling Sessions. We purchased a package that included 3 sessions. I am a big believer in counseling in general but wasn't really sure what to expect from the PCS. I have been with my husband for 10 years before we tied the knot and one would think I would know him well and there isn't much left to discover. Well, I was wrong. Not only did I learn more about my husband but the sessions brought us CLOSER! I cannot recommend her sessions HIGHLY ENOUGH!!!! I am so grateful for the work she did with us, which ultimately led to a beautiful ceremony. Icing on the cake, we received feedback from our guests and they said they had never been to such a "personalized" ceremony before / they normally tune out but were "engaged" the whole time. We connected with Kim so much, we invited her to attend the Reception (and she did!) :o) Kim is a beautiful person inside and out and it comes through in each interaction you have with her. We are truly blessed to have had Kim officiant our ceremony. Thank you Kim!

Kim Kirkley advertised herself as a wedding officiant. The honest truth is, she was that and quite a bit more. Kim became a friend, a confidant, a mentor and a counselor to us prior to our union as husband and wife. She offered us counseling sessions as part of her package, and I immediately thought, “well, we don’t need any counseling.” As it happens, Kim’s sessions were extremely helpful in improving communication and understanding between my husband and I. The amount of energy and time that Kim invests in her couples is astounding and goes a long way. We could not be happier or have received more compliments about our ceremony thanks to Kim. She is caring, genuine, detail oriented and a true professional. We highly recommend using Kim as an officiant!

Kim was such a pleasure to work with. She was thorough, pleasant, and she made our wedding ceremony unique and personal to us. She even followed up with us after the wedding to make sure the marriage license was processed. I highly recommend her to anyone looking to get married.

Kim was the most wonderful, grounding & supportive presence for us on this day. We had so much craziness happen in terms of timing & she was so open & accepting of us & our guests. This was a destination ceremony for us, & unfortunately our fiancé visa took longer than expected to be processed. However we decided that we wanted to go ahead with the ceremony, & adjust it to a commitment ceremony so we could continue to celebrate & mark our commitment to one another in the spirit of what the day is truly about. Kim was open to assisting us with that & helping to create memories we will cherish for years to come!
Then when our visa is processed we can easily go down to the courthouse & do the paper work.. But she was so supportive in helping us celebrate our spiritual & emotional connection to each other.
We had approached her months ahead of time & she was so responsive & clear in communication. Especially because this was a destination ceremony, Kim Skyped with us, emailed us & was happy to talk on the phone too!

She let us have complete access & control over our ceremony script & on the day, her delivery of it was so earthy, committed & present. She really connected with all of us. Our guests loved her energy too & for us, she was the most perfect, grounding strength in officiating our Love to one another.
She really understood us, our personalities & what the day means! I would recommend her to anyone & everyone who is in NYC!

My partner and I wanted to get married in the best place in the world for a wedding - New York City! We searched on New York websites for someone who would be willing to marry us. Kim's reviews were glowing, and she promptly responded to our enquiry - unlike some other celebrants who did not reply to us reliably. Kim is courteous, encouraging, supporting and life-affirming. Our arrangements were relatively simple, being so far from home (Australia) and having a small gathering, but Kim made everything as smooth as possible, and all her helpful advice ensured that everything went very well. The ceremony was beautiful, Kim has great presence and you can sense the joy inside her when she speaks! We had a lovely, emotional ceremony and we could not have chosen a better person. To anyone in Australia who is considering getting married overseas, because some of us are not allowed to here, consider New York City and Kim Kirkley.

This is a well deserved review that I only wish I was able to write sooner. Almost a year ago, my husband and I were frantically searching for an officiant to marry us in NY. After following up on a recommendation by my wedding planner, I was so blessed to have found Kim Kirkley. She is an officiant based out of Brooklyn, NY (my hometown) and an alumnus of the college I too graduated from. It was clearly meant to be! I was planning the wedding in NYC while living out of state, my husband was stationed with the Navy in Sicily. Yet Kim patiently worked out how to effectively communicate with us so despite the difference in time zones, we could all be on the same page. She first had a couple of phone chats with the both of us to learn our history and get a feel for what made Us Us. We joked and laughed and confided and really got to know each other. Kim then sent samples of wedding ceremonies for us to go through and select which styles complimented the message we wanted to convey that day. After that, she drew up a version of our ceremony and allowed us to read and re-read. She encouraged critiques and was open to revisions, and more revisions until we were satisfied. It was nice to have the ceremony before hand so my husband and I could practice before the big day and work out those nerves! In hindsight it's very nice to look at now almost a year later as well. Everyone at the wedding commented on how warm, heartfelt and friendly the ceremony felt. Almost as if Kim had known us for years. My husband and I were very satisfied with all she provided. It was a beautiful, fun, and romantic ceremony- it reflected us as a couple perfectly, exactly what we wanted!

Words cannot even begin to express how amazing Kim Kirkley is. We discovered Kim via New York Magazine early on in our planning stages. We were looking for someone who would allow us to customize a non-denominational ceremony. We also wanted someone who was personable, would get to know us as a couple, and expressed similar values and beliefs on relationships and marriage. The questions Kim asked at our initial meeting signaled that we were on the exact same page. She didn’t want to know how long we had been involved with a particular church, she wanted to know why we wanted to marry each other, what we loved about one another, and what we were hoping for in a ceremony – the important questions. Kim is calm, poised, and knowledgeable. We progressed through a series of sessions with Kim prior to our marriage. She works extensively with a book and workbook series called “Getting the Love You Want” and it’s incredible. We talked about communication, disagreements, showering one another with love and praise, and much more. Every session was interactive and we always took away something concrete that we are able to use in our relationship. Based on our discussions, Kim sent us a draft of the ceremony. We went back and forth multiple times – offering comments, additions, and changes. When we had collectively agreed on a final ceremony draft, Kim read us the ceremony over the phone so that we could offer her feedback. Honestly, we were in love with Kim’s first draft, which was awesome, so any further discussion was mainly spent tweaking, and discussing how we and she had been since our last meeting. As you can see, Kim was amazing before we even got close to the actual ceremony! She led a phenomenal ceremony that people are still raving about. She really helped us construct a ceremony that was meaningful, unique, and Us – and we couldn’t have b– and we couldn’t have been happier. We are so incredibly grateful - thanks, Kim!!!

I can't say enough about how much both my husband and I enjoyed working with Kim Kirkley. From our first meeting we felt extremely comfortable and connected to her and her approach. We knew almost immediately that we had found the perfect Celebrant to make our wedding day as special and as personal as we had envisioned.

Guided by Kim, we were able to create an extremely honest and personal story that reflected who we were as a couple and as individuals. This story was woven beautifully into a dialogue between ourselves and our guests that revealed not only the essence of our 'love story' but also described each of our personalities and life journey.

Reverend Kim was God sent to us. We were dead set on a different officiant but things didnt work out and we were skeptical of anyone else. From the moment we sat down with Reverend Kim, we felt her love and eagerness to please us in anyway she can. She performed a beautiful ceremony for us and our family was in awe of her as well. Thank you Reverend Kim for making our day extra special. We appreciate everything you did to make our day extra special!

Kim was truly wonderful. We felt a connection with her very quickly during our first meeting. She was fantastic at getting a true sense of who we are as individuals and as a couple. Her approach to creating a unique ceremony that reflects the couple getting married was comfortable and engaging from beginning to end. Everyone commented on how amazing the ceremony was. We could not have asked for better. Kim was everything we hoped she'd be and more!

Kim was absolutely amazing - she's highly recommended. We had been renovating our house for months, with the wedding due to be held in our backyard, and the contractors had been awful which resulted in our stress levels reaching ridiculously high levels and consequently our relationship deteriorating quite badly. With 4 weeks to go we still hadn't finalized a celebrant and we found Kim - thankfully! She bicycled over to our house and we sat in the backyard and started asking us questions about ourselves - how we met, what we loved & respected about each other etc. What started as an awkward conversation due to where we were emotionally, helped to reground us and remember all the wonderful things that we loved about each other and why we were getting married. Tears, hugs and laughter later we were back on track and feeling very positive. Over the next week she worked with us to turn our answers to her questions into a very person ceremony, which we refined via email and phone. On the day of the ceremony Kim was fantastic - she is loving, warm & takes great joy in joining two people together in marriage. We're grateful that we found her and that she was able to be a part of the start of the rest of our lives together!

Kim Kirkley combines warmth and kindness with impeccable professionalism. Her presence was a crucial and beautiful part of our wedding from the first stages of planning through the unforgettable ceremony. She has now officiated at two very different weddings in our immediate family, and I recommend her work with all my heart.

Kim was warm, friendly and a true professional. She was a great listener and gave us helpful feedback during our process. You get the feeling that you have known her for a long time and her delivery at the ceremony includes many personal touches. I could rely on Kim getting back to me promptly and she was very thorough. Many guests commented positively to the ceremony. Her confidence in knowing exactly what she was doing and her warm delivery made it memorable. I highly recommend meeting with Kim to see if you are the perfect match!

Kim met with us for about an hour and answered a series of question to help her get to know us. After taking copious notes she got back to us with a first draft of the ceremony that was so spot on, we only had two minor changes. She arrived at the wedding venue as we were arriving an hour before the ceremony and did a brief run- through with us. Here delivery of the ceremony could not have been better. Some of our guests told us theft had determined they would not cry, but they did anyway. Guest we have seen in the weeks since our wedding are still raving about how beautiful it was. We would heartily recommend Kim to anyone seeking a unique and poignant, beautifully ceremony. -- John and Phil

Kim was an absolute pleasure....my now husband and I fell in love with her instantly when we first met her. She got to know us and what it was we wanted to portray and share with our guests on our big day. Our ceremony was absolutely beautiful and filled with tears of joy...it was the perfect day!

We found Kim Kirkley by serendipity. When our first choice wasn't able to officiate, we soon realized it was a blessing in disguise. A small glimpse of her aura came through from her website photo, and it was enough to catch our attention. After examining her site further, we chose to meet with her based on a feeling we got from her website that emphasized her respect for the bride and groom as individuals – something very important to us. We also hoped to find someone was open to our non-traditional beliefs without feeling the need to impart their own, but with wisdom to offer us guidance as we ventured into this new plateau of our relationship.

Once we met Kim, we both got a strong sense of the energy emanating from her: respectful, clear of purpose and open-minded. She is a warm, loving soul who listens actively, and relies on recognized sociological methods to guide her couples through a powerful set of exercises that help provide a foundation for open communication that will allow them to build a marriage based on truth and compassion. Our guidance sessions with her were far less awkward and embarrassing than either of us had expected – in fact, each time we left feeling uplifted and more aware of each other’s feelings.

I cannot express accurately or eloquently enough just how masterful Ms. Kirkley is working with two supremely stressed-out and anxious people planning to execute the most significant event of their lives. Her manner is that of a most trusted counselor and confidant, and there was no judgment accompanying the many illuminating moments that she guided us to, just gentle insight. She has a lovely spirit that shined through at the ceremony, prompting many guests to compliment us on her welcoming presence, combined with soft gravitas. We were ecstatic with our interactions with Kim on our wedding day, and everything was as we had previously discussed. She was, and is, the consummate professional as a celebrant, and if you only plan on getting married once, you won’t regret that you chose her to officiate for you. We love you, Kim -- thanks for setting us off on a beautiful beginning!

Kim was the officiant at our wedding on 11/12/2010. Not only was she a model of professionalism, she also delivered a great ceremony that truly helped us capture who we are as a couple. One of the things we said after it was all said & done was that if we had it to do all over again, we would want Kim to officiate- hands down. Kim is not only a good at what she does, she is a terrific human being and her positive energy comes through during your meeting with her and at the ceremony. She is a lovely person to know and we are proud to say she married us.

I saw Kim officiate a wedding several years ago and I thought at that moment, that if I was ever lucky enough to get married, I would have to find her. A few weeks ago I was so happy to have Kim officiate my wedding, and I could not have ben more delighted. Not only was she absolutely perfect for me and my husband, but everyone who attended mentioned how wonderful she was. Her energy is just so special and full of love and joy, everyone was smiling ear to ear. Kim is a beautiful person and helped us have the wedding of our dreams. If you have the opportunity to have Kim officiate your wedding, do it! I am sure you will be so glad you did.

Kim Kirkley is a fantastic Officiant, we live in England but were married in New York and Kim answered all our queries beforehand and was so helpful in helping us decide on a location, time, transport arrangements etc, nothing was too much trouble for her, she answered all questions quickly and made me feel very at ease, she was amazing!
The ceremony itself was beautiful - she was so professional but also really enthusiastic and passionate and made the ceremony exciting, emotional and memorable. All our friends and family commented on how great she was and how they had never been to such an enjoyable and heart warming service.
If you are looking for an Officiant for your wedding, I urge you to go with Kim, you will not regret it!

I found Kim on the Celebrant USA website. I knew from her brief bio that she was the kind of officiant we were looking for. After meeting her in person, we knew without a doubt we had found our officiant. She exudes a powerfully positive energy that is infectious. Kim is a woman that loves her profession and it shows.

I really enjoyed our interview with Kim. She took the effort to get to know us as a couple and what type of ceremony we wanted. She offered helpful guidance for writing our vows and even when we had some planning hiccups, she was patient and flexible.

On our wedding day she delivered a unique, beautiful, and special sermon, one that we will always cherish.

We felt extremely fortunate to have Kim be a part of wedding day.

Kim made our preparations stress free and the day just beautiful. Kim was helpful, reliable, honest, professional and warm. I can't thank her enough for helping us make our very special wedding day perfect. Thanks Kim, Brett and Larisa (Melbourne Australia)

What a lovely person who brought joy and beauty to our wedding day!

We chose Kim because she specialized in multicultural ceremonies and because we wanted a ceremony with no religion or new age-ness. She was very flexible and had some ideas for the parts of the ceremony that we weren't sure about. Our wedding was beautiful and we wouldn't change a thing!

Kim was such an amazing person to have perform our wedding ceremony. We had to change officiant at the last minute & we were so happy that we ended up using Kim. She was very easy to work with & such a warm & lovely person. We are from the UK & went to New York to get married - we only met Kim a couple of days before our ceremony which was nerve-wracking but everything was brilliant in the end. Highly recommended.

We loved having Kim officiate at our wedding. We had a very small, very personal ceremony, and wrote much of it ourselves. Kim was entirely respectful of our choices, while also offering helpful suggestions and guidance. Even now, nearly seven years later, her gorgeous smile and glowing presence are images that come back to me whenever I think of that day. I recommend her enthusiastically and without reservation.

Ms. Kirkley was recommended to me by a friend and I must say she made our day as special as it was supposed to be. After meeting with her, she was able to perform a very personal ceremony. At our reception guests asked if the things she said were made up. We didn't realize that while speaking with her she paid so much attention to detail and at the ceremony she relayed our love story to our guests. It was truly priceless!

I really can't say enough about Kim. When we met her, we immediately knew she was perfect for us. The amount of care she takes with preparing each ceremony, finding ways to personalize what for some people can seem a bit dry, was evident in the sample ceremonies she provided us with. She was speedy in her communications, supportive, always kind, inspiring and accommodating. Our ceremony was filled with joy, and we got so many compliments on our choice for an officiant, that it was the best ceremony they'd ever been to. Kim's a beautiful person inside and out, and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend her to my closest friends!

No one believes I found Kim online. It seems like we have known each other for a while. My fiance was skeptical when we were going to meet Kim. He loved her! We left our meeting so excited to meet such a warm and cool woman. We continued to work with her and she really helped us stay focused on the spiritual and meaningful aspect of marriage. She wrote a very personalized ceremony and was so easy to work with. We feel we have a new friend. She is now working with friends for their upcoming nuptials.

All we can say is that Kim was perfect for us, as our celebrant. She is very professional and provided us with the perfect day, as she provided us with exactly what we asked for. As soon as we first contacted Kim she felt like a friend and from that point we no longer had to worry about that part of the wedding as Kim had it all in her control.
I would recommend Kim to anyone and again I would just like to say thanks Kim for everything.

When my husband and I first met Kim, we immediately connected. In the midst of planning our wedding, Kim provided such a calming reminder of why the ceremony is really the most important part of the wedding. She is such a poised profressional and works with you on the script so that your ceremony is unique to you and your loved one. Her delivery of our ceremony was like listening to a modern fairy tale. We received countless compliments on our custom ceremony and Kim Kirkley. We were so honored to have her marry us and we so highly recommend her. Kim-we really can't thank you enough!

To Whom It May Concern:

My husband and I continue to value the contribution Kim's service was to our ceremony. Kim is patient and nurturing. She fully captured the essence we were seeking, and the spirit we wanted to convey. Our guest continue to rave not only about the vows we spoke, but also about Kim's oracle command. Forever, we will treasure her...

Sincerely,
Robin and Skeff Anselm

Kim was a warm, wonderful addition to our very intimate wedding of only 80 people on a rooftop in Brooklyn. She took great care in listening, writing, gathering and combining our wishes and story for our wedding ceremony and made it both a loving event for others to attend as well as a tribute to our families and loved ones.

Kim's best talent is how well she listens to each couple's personalized journey and then translates it into a beautiful ceremony. She really cares and has a very open heart so, it is easy to talk to her about whatever direction you want to take with your occasion. Kim feels like a family friend and I want her at every major event in my family's life! Many of my guests also remarked about how they enjoyed the ceremony. Most people just can't wait for the cocktail hour but, in our case my guests loved listening to Kim tell our story.

I don't know if I can put into words how grateful I am to Ms Kirkley for the ceremony she performed. She was detailed oriented and everyone one knows love is in the details. Our wedding felt so unique because it was tailored to my husband and coming together. She told our story as if she had know us our whole lives . Everyone at our wedding raved about Kim Kirkley and would often ask where did we find her. Kim was very professional she responded quickly to any concerns or suggestions I may have had. She doesn't leave you waiting for days for an email or phone response. If anyone is contemplating using Kim, DON"T. She will cater your ceremony to you and I promise you won't be sorry.

Through the whole process she was always accesible and a pleasure to work with. Immediately after the ceremony and even months later guest come up to me and comment on how wonderful Kim was at the ceremony. Overall Kim was great and I would recommend her to anyone getting married.

Kim took careful and thoughtful notes at our meeting to discuss our wedding. She incorporated details of that conversation in her notes for the ceremony which we were able to review before hand.

We decided to find an officiant when we decided we did not want a big wedding and, yet, did not want to go to city hall, either. I found Kim online but had an immediate positive reaction to her which was only deepened when we spoke and, in preparing for our ceremony, intensified. She is extremely professional, helpful, soulful, introspective and was able to write a very emotional reading for us that was just perfect. Having a veeerrrry small group of people with us when we exchanged vows, Kim felt very much part of the group and allowed us to truly live in the moment. I cannot say enough about Kim - her positive attitude, her willingness to help us experience a very simple, non-denominational, lightly spiritual, joy-focused, brief ceremony evolved into all those things -- only more so. Her writing is melodious and gathers all of the guests up into the words so that we all felt moved -- every single person in attendance later asked me for a copy of her reading....Great experience.

When my Daughter and I interviewed Kim to be the Officiant at my Daughters wedding, we fell in love right away - and we knew she was the one to celebrate the wedding.

My future Son-In-Law was in Iraq and would only be back Stateside right before the wedding. There was no way for Kim to meet him in person. So the next best thing was the phone and the internet.

The questions she asked both of them created such a beautiful story. After the Wedding everyone asked how long she knew the couple.

There were a lot of highlights from the Wedding........but for me it was the Wedding service with Kim, I could watch the video over and over.

Kim was absolutely wonderful to work with! From beginning to end it was a thoroughly enjoyable process. My biggest wish was to have someone officiate our wedding that would make us feel like he/she had known us for a long time. Kim was able to do that for us. From the moment we met, she asked many questions and got my husband and I to reminisce about so many important things in our dating history. I left the meeting with Kim knowing that my search for an officiant was officially over. She was always receptive to any changes we suggested and ultimately our wedding was made that much more special because of her attention to details and her beautiful execution of the ceremony.

Kim was great. My daughter was getting married and was in Mass when we were helping her plan he wedding, i contacted Kim, through an ad i saw on the internet. She and one other officiant replied. both we prompt, but she was much more savvy than the other person. Kim is poised and graceful, very classy. we are New Yorkers, and wanted someone we could trust. Kim was that person. Our daughter's wedding was beautiful! thank you Kim!

We reached out to Kim with less than 3 weeks out before the wedding due to another officiant double booking himself. She worked with us to give us the ceremony we were looking for. We declined the counseling and worked strictly on the ceremony script. All our guests commented on her delivery and presence and in making that moment so special. I'm glad we chose her. This was a gay wedding.

I first got wind of Kim when she was featured in NY Mag as “The Officiant.” My fiance and I aren’t religious, so we wanted and officiant who was non-denominational. After reaching out and finding out that she was available for our date, she set up an in-person meeting with us. Kim is so welcoming that it feels like you’re talking to an old friend. She wanted to get a sense of us as a couple so we told her about how we first met and all the things that we loved about each other. Kim took detailed notes as we spoke. After our meeting there was no doubt in our minds that she should officiate our wedding. Over the next few weeks and months Kim send us several draft versions of the ceremony and gave us full liberty in editing it to fit our needs. Since we were writing our own vows separately, Kim offered to read over each of our vows to make sure they gelled. She worked with us to make sure that our ceremony was personable and represented us as a couple. During the actual ceremony I was so nervous but Kim’s comforting voice and warm face put me at ease. We were so lucky to have her as our officiant.

Kim was a fantastic officiant for my March 19, 2011 wedding! Both my husband and I wanted a heart-felt ceremony that was short but expressed our personalities and celebrated our love! My husband is catholic and I am jewish and we wanted to incorporate aspects of both wedding traditions into our ceremony. Working with Kim we were able to construct the perfect ceremony! Also, Kim was great about meeting us for a rehearsal and helping us organize. Finally I have to say she did splendidly under pressure during the ceremony itself. Even though she mentioned before-hand to turn off electronics, a cell phone went off in the middle of the ceremony! Kim kept her composure completely and after the ringing stopped the ceremony continued without a problem! I would highly recommend working with Kim as your officiant!

Often Celebrants and other officiants just rehash and pull together ceremonies using prefabricated parts which they modify a little bit, i.e. by changing the name. Kim was amazing in that she helped us write a whole new portion of the ceremony to reflect my husband's cultural background and our modern values: a modern Saptapodi that remained true to that ceremony's underlying principles of emphasizing duties of the couple to one another and their family, but left out the elements we don't believe in. To do so, she ended up doing a good amount of outside research and ended up writing us a beautifully drafted, moving ceremony. We truly loved this ceremony.

Our only complaints were with the delivery at the wedding, itself, which given Kim's everyday sincerity and gravitas, along with her sincere and ready smile, felt a bit artificially chipper. I don't know whether this is something people learn from Celebrant training (I've only seen one other Celebrants-officiated wedding where the officiant -- NOT Kim -- came off as positively ditzy). But Kim at the wedding did not seem like Kim everyday. Kim everyday would've been perfect. My guess is that she'd be willing to work with couples to tweak the tone of delivery, though, if you ask.

Overall, though, we were happy with our choice of officiant. She's a very talented ceremony writer. Her prices are incredibly reasonable and interestingly, you can purchase packages with her that include couples counseling sessions, prior to the wedding. We didn't choose to do these, so we don't know what they're like. I didn't really come across other officiants that provided this service, though, and think it's noteworthy that Kim does offer it.

Kim was amazing. We could not have asked for a better ceremony. Family and friends are still talking about how perfect our ceremony was thanks to Kim!

Kim created a service that was articulate, thoughtful, memorable and that beautifully incorporated our personalities and life stories.

Kimberly was a pleasure to work with! She was efficient, professional and responsive to our needs. Her voice was soothing to the ear, her attire was professional and we appreciated that she asked us if there was something in particular we would like her to wear! I would highly recommend her to any couple looking for an Officiant!
