Exceptional Wedding Officiant - Kathy Wilkerson

We were incredibly fortunate to have Kathy Wilkerson as our wedding officiant. Her professionalism and dedication truly made our special day unforgettable. From the moment we reached out to her, Kathy demonstrated a level of responsibility and commitment that immediately put us at ease.

Throughout the entire process, Kathy's attention to detail and personalized approach were evident. She took the time to understand our story and preferences, resulting in a ceremony that felt uniquely tailored to us. Her eloquent delivery and warm presence added a touch of magic to the occasion, leaving us and our guests moved by her words.

Kathy's expertise and organizational skills ensured that everything flowed seamlessly, allowing us to fully immerse ourselves in the moment without any worries. Her calming demeanor and genuine care for our happiness made her not just an officiant, but a cherished part of our wedding memories.

If you're seeking a wedding officiant who goes above and beyond, we wholeheartedly recommend Kathy Wilkerson. Her exceptional qualities truly set her apart, and we are grateful to have had her play such a significant role in the beginning of our journey as a married couple.

I came across Heartfelt Weddings via WeddingWire and immediately contacted them to see if they were available for my wedding date. With no delay, Larry contacted me back immediately. Unlike other officiants I had contacted in the same timeframe, it took them longer to respond back or did not send a response back at all.

After our first initial meeting with Larry, my fiancé (at that time) and I left the meeting very pleased. We contemplated about meeting with one other officiant just to compare cost and personality, but then decided why bother. If you already feel good about the current one, why waste your time hoping to find better. We liked everything about Larry from the moment we met him. He’s very organized, outgoing, polite, and has a sense of humor that just makes everything pleasant.

During the planning process, Larry was very helpful, via email, to assist us with any questions or concerns we had. My fiancé and I had also decided to write personal vows. Larry, with his expertise, gave us a few suggestions and also helped us perfect our vows to one another. At the rehearsal and wedding day, Larry showed up on time and was very professional. He even made my fiancé feel at ease as I started to walk down the aisle.

After the ceremony, Larry took care of all the paperwork and sent in our marriage license to the City. He then emailed me once the City had acknowledged acceptance and guided me to the next steps of changing my last name. I was so pleased with the outcome of my ceremony and all my vendors. I wouldn’t trade Larry for any others. I highly recommend Larry to any other couples looking for an officiant for their wedding.
Thanks Larry for making our wedding day as wonderful and smooth as it was! It was a pleasure working with you. If I ever renew my vows, I know who to call =)

Unique and wonderful experience

We are immensely grateful for the wonderful services provided by Larry on our wedding day. Their warmth, eloquence, and personalized approach made our ceremony truly unforgettable. Larry helped us guide us to personalize our ceremony, and their calming presence added a special touch to the atmosphere.

From our initial meeting to the big day, Larry demonstrated a high level of professionalism and a genuine passion for their work. He took the time to understand our values and preferences, ensuring that the ceremony was a perfect reflection of our commitment to each other.

We wholeheartedly recommend their services to any couple seeking an officiant who not only officiates but also contributes to the unique and heartfelt nature of the ceremony.

I've had the pleasure of covering weddings officiated by both Kathy and Larry. Their presence and attention to detail are unmatched in my experience. I love the way they relate to the couples and make the ceremony more than just a formality. I recommend them for anyone wanting a more meaningful ceremony.

I have performed harp services for wedding ceremonies with both Kathy and Larry on several occasions. Both of these wonderful officiants are an absolute joy to work with, I am never worried about cues and both come across so warmly to others. Helpful, experienced, and a joy to work with sums this couple up. The bonus with this team is you have two chances at one of them being available for your wedding date!
