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.

Larry was the absolute best!!

My husband and I cannot say enough great things about Larry! He truly helped make our Wedding incredibly special. Our guests kept raving about the Ceremony and how beautiful it was. At one point my husband kept tearing and Larry made such lighthearted jokes that made our guests laugh and put my husband at ease. He answered all of our questions and helped us with the marriage license process. We loved that we were able to make the Ceremony our own, Larry did everything to make it about us and our love. He went above and beyond and we could not be more thankful.

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!
