Kat is Amazing!!!

Kat is an amazing officiant and a wonderful person to work with from start to finish. We wanted a secular ceremony and she respected that wish completely! After our first phone call with Kat, we completely trusted her to officiate our wedding. The process was seamless: she worked with us to build our ceremony from scratch and make sure it was exactly what we were looking for. She even took the time to meet us in person to go over every detail. She provided us with a plethora of various examples of other ceremonies she has done in the past which helped us immensely in deciding how we wanted our ceremony to look. We told her what we liked from the materials provided and she ended up drafting a beautiful custom ceremony tailored to us. Kat ran every word by us and was very receptive to any changes that we requested as well.

At the ceremony itself, Kat was absolutely amazing! She is a confident and warm speaker. Her tone, humor, and sincerity truly made the ceremony memorable. We had MANY guests tell us afterward how much they loved her. And the cherry on top: she took care of mailing our marriage license to the county so we didn’t have to worry!

Kat thank you so much for all of the work and care you have put into our wedding! We are extremely grateful.

Lovely and so personable!

Kat did a wonderful job officiating our wedding! She has so much charm and charisma, she works very closely with you to make sure you get exactly what you want! We had a few special requests like requesting that visitors be disconnected from their phones and Kat really made sure they got fulfilled! When planning things, she helped make sure we had everything covered and offered plenty of advice and thoughts from her experiences at other weddings, which was a huge help. Kat also gave us advice on how to have all the paperwork prepped in advance - which gave us one less thing to worry about of the wedding day!

Best of all, Kat was incredibly kind, funny, and brought a light and positive energy to our wedding which was exactly what we wanted. She's awesome!
