An absolute joy to the day!

Can’t recommend Kelsey enough! She married me and my wife at a small elopement at Lake Pactola in July. She was communicative, timely, flexible, and her warmth in the ceremony really added to the day’s vibe. She also added a couple touches in the ceremony that allowed for photographs of just me and my spouse with the beautiful background at our altar. I’m not planning on getting married again, 😅 but if I did I’d hire her again in a heartbeat 😊

The best experience!!

We can't say enough about how great Kelsey was, especially since things got a little crazy! When our officiant backed out super close to the wedding, we were worried everything would fall apart. But Kelsey was a total lifesaver. She was so flexible about stepping in last minute, and she totally got what we wanted for the ceremony. On top of that, she was just so fun and happy – it really lifted our spirits. She turned what could have been a total mess into a beautiful and heartfelt ceremony that felt perfect for us. We're so grateful for her chill vibes, her skills, and the good energy she brought to our wedding. 10/10 would recommend! Thank you again, Kelsey, for saving the day and making our wedding unforgettable!!

Perfect Little Elopement

Happily Ever Hernandez was perfect for our Elopement! She was incredibly professional, on time, and ready to go with a very fitting and memorable speech for our little ceremony. We could not have asked for a better officiant for our special day and I’ll remember it for the rest of my life. 10/10 recommend!!

Siqueira wedding

I had the honor of having Kelsey be the ordained minister at our wedding. She was phenomenal. She respected all of our wishes for the ceremony speech and kept the guests engaged the entire time. She was extremely professional and made sure to keep my husband and I on track throughout the ceremony as well. I highly recommend Happily ever Hernandez for all ordained minister needs!

Treated me and my Wife as we were family. Guided us through the process and made it a stress free experience.

You want to work with her. When I asked her if she would help me with this big step, without any hesitation she said, “YES”. I love her energy and her positive attitude towards everything.
