My husband Alberto and I were very impressed with the preparation and the ceremony on our wedding day. Rev. Kimberly Francano planned the ceremony perfectly. She was clear, well spoken, happy for us, proud to be apart of our day, and she was willing to go the extra mile.

Rev. Kimberly was wonderful! She was extremely helpful during the ceremony planning and very knowledgeable in regards to obtaining the marriage license. My husband and I loved our ceremony and our guests kept complimenting us on how beautiful it was!

We moved to the Midwest in the midst of wedding planning due to a job change. Of course planning the wedding from 11 hours away was at times confusing and stressful, but Kimberly was so professional and helpful throughout the entire process. We held a phone interview to go over details in the weeks before the ceremony and she helped put my mind at ease and was just as nice as could be.
We wanted our ceremony to be short and sweet, and she was able to do that for us while making it personal and to our wishes. I would definitely recommend Kimberly to any couple looking for a friendly and accommodating officiant.

We really liked Rev. Kimberly Francano from the moment we met. She is extremely attentive to every detail and gives really good advice when asked or when it is clear you are an not expert (who is?) yourself. Rev. Kimberly Francano made our day so special with her compassion, flexibility, responsiveness, warmth, friendliness with a determination that this was going to be our best day of our lives. We were provided guidance on vows and ceremonies and she steered very gently through the ceremony. Our friends really thought she was very fitting for our beach wedding setting and could fit right into any setting that may come along.
Without doubt Rev. Kimberly Francano was the right choice and I would have no reservations in recommending her.

Reverend Kimberly was amazing. My wife and I had problems with our marriage certificate from Jamaica. After calling many local parishes, I called Reverand Kimberly. She finished my sentence as soon as I said Jamaica. She laid out her schedule right then and there and was very accomodating. She came out to our house on a weeknight at 8:00 PM and was just wonderful. I would not have wished it any other way. I had the pleasure of marrying my love twice, and Reverand Kimberly made it all the more special! Thank you!!!!

Rev. Kimberly Francano was extremely professional and very easy to work with. We celebrated our 30 th Anniversary with a beachfront vow renewal. It was a beautiful celebration with just the right amount of fun. Rev. Kimberly Francano was able to roll with the punches and adapt to our lead. Her suggestions were very helpful, and she worked really hard to help us achieve the exact ambiance we wanted for our ceremony.
