    Beautiful and personal ceremny

    Rev. Kim was the perfect choice for our ceremony. She was able to come up with a beautiful custom script that combined some religious and secular aspects. She is also very professional, responsive, and kind. 100% recommend!

    The best all around!

    Words have such a powerful impact. And for Reverend Kim, she truly made such an impact throughout our experience of our Pop Up wedding.

    Her patience, her want to include personal aspects of our lives, and her composure are the top three items that made our ceremony spectacular! In preparation of our event, she was so kind and understanding to make sure we had the ceremony of our dreams. Throughout the wedding event, she was smiling and wonderful. I cannot say it enough: thank you. Thank you for making the ceremony so lovely and making such an impact on us before, after and now for marrying us. Even going so far as providing us a folder of the ceremony written down for our memories and a certificate signed by her, our witnesses, and each other, that was such a GREAT touch to close out our experience.

    If anyone is looking for the best experience / insight for wedding ceremonies, Kim is your person. With her eloquent words, and her want to make a memorable event, and her compassion, thank you for *making* our ceremony all that we could hope for.

    Reverend Kim Tavendale's reply:

    It was absolutely my pleasure and honour to marry two such wonderful and lovely people! I wish you both a lifetime of happiness!

    Best part of our wedding

    Kim was hands down the best part of our wedding. The way she told stories about how my husband and I met/ started dating and tailored the ceremony around specific details regarding our relationship had guests feeling even ore connected to us. I received so many compliments about her afterwards! She made the ceremony so special.

    Personal and moving ceremony

    My wife and I booked Reverend Kim for our designation wedding in Estes Park. She took the time to consult with us beforehand and crafted a personal and relevant ceremony just for us, and helped us structure our vows. The result was a meaningful, moving, and infinitely memorable union in the mountains. We couldn't be happier with Reverend Kim's attention and service.

    So lovely!!

    We used Reverend Kim Tavendale for our wedding on 11/17/18, and I cannot recommend her enough. Not only did she make our ceremony so lovely and unique, but she is the sweetest person! When we first met Reverend Kim, she made us feel so welcome and so comfortable. She discussed every part of our wedding to make sure it was exactly what we wanted. She attending our rehearsal and made sure everyone knew what they were doing. On our wedding day, she made our ceremony so memorable! She went above and beyond to meet us when we had an issue with our marriage license. To top it off, Reverend Kim is such a lovely, kind lady! Book your wedding with her, you won't regret it!!!

    Wedding 10/13/18

    She is amazing at what she does. We are not from Colorado, so all of our interaction was via email, text and phone calls. She assured us that everything would be set up and ready for our day and it sure was. Our vows were amazing, they were truthful and from our hearts. Our entire family loved our ceremony. We are so glad that we chose Kim.

    Reverend Kim was amazing at our wedding!! Once we met her, we knew that we wanted her to officiate our wedding. We wanted a slightly more laid back than traditional wedding, but thought it was amazing that she would perform everything from Star Wars to pirate ceremonies! In our initial meeting she told us that she was going to give us homework - because she wanted to write a ceremony specific to us as a couple. When we both (individually) wrote out our homework, we didn't know what would be used and what would be left out. In our ceremony we were completely captured as a couple! We laughed, we cried, and we received so many compliments about Kim! Having a destination wedding - we didn't have her come out for our reception - not because we didn't want her to be there, but we didn't want to have her block out 2 days for our wedding during the wedding season.

    Rev Kim was recommended to us by our wedding planner & we are so glad she did. We loved Kim! She put us at ease right away & was completely in tune with what we wanted & had a few suggestions to help us personalize our ceremony. We had so many people saying what a great ceremony we had - they laughed and they cried & they really felt it was just so "us". We seriously recommend her to anyone looking for a unique heartfelt ceremony!

    My partner and I met Kim at a wedding showcase in Boulder over the summer. After just a quick chat, I knew that, no matter the cost, she HAD to be the officiant at our wedding. Kim created a ceremony for my wife and I that was uniquely special and personalized with a beautiful narrative of our "love story." She was incredibly thorough, professional, and responsive. She executed our ceremony with so much ease, grace, and sincerity. Most of the feedback we received from our guests was that our ceremony was the best they had ever seen.

    Kim was simply amazing! While we weren't her first Renaissance themed wedding, we were her first at the Colorado Renaissance Festival. She had some great ideas for our ceremony when we weren't sure what to do, but allowed us to make our own suggestions and changes as needed. She loved our ideas and was very accommodating with some very last minute changes. She also made her own dress to be in period attire at our wedding. Not only did she look fantastic, she also looked very professional. The ceremony she wrote was very meaningful and made everyone feel welcomed. I would recommend her to anyone (themed wedding or not).

    We had an amazing experience with Reverend Kim. She met with us twice before the ceremony to make sure everything was exactly how we wanted it. She was so professional and great to work with. We received so many compliments about the beautiful ceremony after the wedding. There wasn't a dry eye in the whole place. I would highly recommend her to anyone in need of an officiant.

    Rev. Kim is the BEST! We are so glad we chose her as our officiant. Kim wrote an amazing ceremony that represented my new husband and me perfectly. We wanted a hand-fasting that incorporated our spiritual beliefs without totally freaking out some of our guests, and she nailed it! The ceremony was so beautiful and Kim was so flexible about adding/taking out elements that we liked or didn't like. She really customized it to be exactly what we wanted. We had so many people tell us that it was the most beautiful ceremony they'd ever been to and that they just adored our officiant (as did we)!

    I'd like to mention also that Kim went out of her way to find us 2 aspen seedlings when we were unable to find any for our "seedling ceremony." My husband and I were quite distressed and Kim came to the rescue. She found aspen seedlings, picked them up for us and brought them to the rehearsal. Without her, we wouldn't have been able to do this important part of the ceremony.

    We really loved working with Kim and would recommend her to anyone looking for an awesome, kind, and reasonable officiant. She was wonderful!

    Finding Kim was the best thing I did throughout my entire wedding planning! She was so kind and considerate right from the beginning; I was allowed to design my wedding just how I wanted it, she always made time for me when i needed to meet with her and always kept me de-stressed when she could sense that I was getting too over-whelmed. The vows that she created for my husband and I were the most beautiful vows that I have ever heard and I have heard those comments from just about every single person that was in attendance. The major thing that sticks out in my mind about Kim's loving and compassionate character is that 2 days prior to my wedding my husband grandfather passed away and I emailed her the night of and asked if she could say something extra special for him. Well she went above and beyond and mentions our beloved Gramps and did it in a way that showed people that with loss of loved ones blooms the love of others; so it payed/showed respect to our grandfather and did it in a way that did not make people cry or be sad, but showed them that with loss, there is also love. She created a whole new set of vows for us 2 days before the wedding and never complained or made me feel that I was an inconvinience. Kim is an amazing, sweet, loving, perfect person to have for your wedding officiant and she is definitely the best part of my wedding. She created an environment that was perfect, not too long, not too short and showed the love between my husband and I. If you would like I have video to prove how great this officiant is and why she is the person to choose for the happiest day of your life :)

    We had the pleasure of working with Reverend Kim for our ceremony.

    She met with us a couple of times in the weeks before the wedding to allow her to get to know us as a couple, from our own backgrounds to how we met, and our journey together. My husband and I each submitted funny stories about each other and special expressions we wanted to say to each other during the ceremony. Reverend Kim has done a wide variety of ceremonies of all denominations. She asked if we had our own ideas for what we wanted in our wedding and offered a rainbow of ideas to help decide.

    Reverend Kim made our ceremony "ours". She even printed cards for us for our expressions so we didn't have to memorize anything (a huge relief for both of us!). The program was sweet, romantic, and was infused with the perfect amount of humor.

    We could not be more pleased at how personal Kim made our ceremony. We've received a ton of compliments about how great it was...and most importantly, how special it was to US. She did a wonderful job.

    Reverend Kim was such a great vendor to work with on our wedding from the start. We contacted her and set up a Skype date, since we lived in New Mexico at the time, and she was so professional and prepared. She asked us questions on the style of wedding we wanted, our religious preferences, and any special arrangements we wanted. We had a very special hand-binding ceremony that meant so much to us, and she worked with it even when I got cords that were too short (whoops!). She gave us each individual homework with questions about our love story, what we value in each other, and anything else we wanted to include. She incorporated our stories seamlessly into the ceremony, and it was TRULY beautiful. We were able to write our own vows and all of our guests had no problem hearing us, because she brought a wireless microphone and had another for me to speak into. I think our ceremony was the most-complimented part of our wedding, because it was so special, detailed, and crafted to our individual love. We couldn’t recommend Kim enough to couples!

    Two weeks later and I still have people telling me how perfect our ceremony was!
    Not too long or too short. Not too serious, and not too silly. She really listened to us and delivered every detail we asked for and then some. She was also VERY respectful of our beliefs and didnt try to pressure us to have anything we didnt feel comfortable with in our wedding.
    She also went out of her way to make sure her attire didnt destract from my dress. None of the other officients we interviewed even considered that kind of detail.
    Thank you Rev. Kim!

    The most creative Minister out there!!

    We wanted to have out wedding at the Colorado Renaissance Festival but COVID happened so we simply switched venues and were still able to have our nerdy wedding. All throughout the process she was there for us and customized everything in a beautiful manner that fit us as a couple perfectly!! Thank you Kim!!!!

    In light of the covid 19 situation, she was excellent. She was able to work with us and make our special day come true. We are now happily married and couldnt be more happy with her officiating!

    A very popular officiant and it's obvious why. Rev. Kim helped us to create a ceremony that 100% reflected our spirituality and who we are as a couple. I truly appreciate her genuine personality and passion for her profession.

    Kim Tavendale was a pleasure to work with. Our wedding ceremony was absolutely beautiful and exactly what we wanted. She spent time getting to know us and was always available to answer questions as needed. She was more expensive than other officiants, but I tell you what, you get exactly what you pay for. For the amount of time that she spent with us and the amount of customization that she was able to accommodate, she was well worth the money. She did have more affordable package prices; however, we wanted a rehearsal and unity ceremony, so we went with one of the most expensive packages. We also had our wedding about an hour away from her studio and she had no problem driving out of her way for us. It was well worth the money.

    Rev. Kim Tavendale - a very lovely kind lady, that had written a beautiful ceremony for our wedding. But she was so soft spoken that our guest couldn't hear any words of her inspirition at the ceremony.
    May needed a microphone clipped on her robe, would have been better.
    Thank-you !
