Katherine is simply amazing!

There are literally not enough stars on google to rate Katherine. She's amazing! She really took the time to get to know us, and so our ceremony felt very personalized. She was a wealth of knowledge and resources for every aspect of the ceremony from vows to ring exchanges to unity ceremonies. Once we received the first draft, she took all of our notes seriously even little whimsical things that might seem silly to most. She was easy to communicate with and prompt to respond to our questions with the utmost professionalism. Our ceremony highlighted us as individuals, but also shined a light on the beauty of our relationship and togetherness.

Our guests complimented us on a very personal and intimate ceremony. We hope our family and friends will use Katherine as their celebrant in the future so we can enjoy her ceremonies as guests as well.

You'd be a FOOL to choose anyone else!

Kind and Caring

Katherine was the officiant for a wedding celebration that I photographed in December at the Folino Estate. Katherine was very easy to work with during the day and made sure to communicate clearly before the ceremony about where they would be, and any special moments I should be aware of. Their kindness and attention to detail was evident through out the entirety of their time with the couple!

Unforgettable!

Choosing Katherine as our wedding officiant was one of the best decisions we made. She didn’t just officiate our wedding-she told our story with warmth, authenticity and heart. She took the time to truly know us, worked closely with us on every detail and encouraged us to shape the ceremony together.

What she delivered was unforgettable. Guests still tell us it was the most personal and emotional ceremony they’ve ever experienced. There were tears even from the toughest guys in the room. Months later people are still talking about how moving it was. If you want a ceremony that people will remember forever, look no further.

If you're looking for a unique, custom wedding ceremony, I highly recommend Katherine Hunter! When we first started planning our wedding, we knew that we wanted a non-religious ceremony but we weren't sure where to look. We enjoyed working with Katherine throughout the wedding planning process. She was responsive whenever we had questions and she was patient as we were navigating a lot of life changes while we planned our wedding. At the beginning of the planning process, we filled out questionnaires and Katherine used them to create the perfect custom ceremony for us. Throughout the process, we were able to review drafts of the ceremony and make any changes we felt were necessary. We loved how our final wedding ceremony was a true representation of us as both individuals and as a couple.

A Beautiful, Personalized Wedding Experience with Katherine

We had our wedding at Parkside Chapel in Henryville, a beautiful, quiet, and historic place that was also very affordable. The chapel manager, Pat, was absolutely amazing, and we genuinely hope many couples planning to get married in Pennsylvania can experience this fantastic venue and work with Katherine as we did.

From our first meeting, we immediately felt that Katherine could make our day customized and special. She was very informative and helped us understand the structure and nature of a wedding ceremony.

We’re a queer couple originally from South Korea, and Katherine was incredibly respectful of our culture while addressing our concerns with professionalism and warmth. She was always inclusive, kind, and open-minded. Her communication was clear and reliable, so we never felt stressed while working with her. She was a genuine supporter of us throughout the process.

We wanted to include both Korean heritage and the essence of an inclusive queer wedding, and she beautifully reflected all of that in our ceremony. She genuinely enjoyed learning about our culture and being part of our story. Her experience and wide range of resources made us confident that the ceremony would truly represent our relationship and who we are.

When we first read the draft, we could envision our day and knew it would be amazing. Everything went by so quickly during the ceremony. When we later watched the recorded video, we realized why, not because of her pacing, but because we were so emotionally immersed in the moment she created for us.

Because of our personal situation, we had only two friends attend in person, and my mom joined via Zoom. Katherine understood this deeply and handled everything professionally, sensitively, and gracefully.

I could recommend her to anyone around me who is getting married, especially someone who wants their ceremony to reflect their identities and ideas. In that case, Katherine is the best supporter you could ever have.

Wonderful Experience

If you are searching for a celebrant and you want your guests to remember your ceremony forever, then Katherine Hunter should be your choice! From our initial meeting, Katherine was clear on what she wanted to accomplish with our ceremony creation. She provided a few questionnaires that allowed her to create a personalized ceremony for the two of us. She also provided a lot of useful documents that we used to fine tune our ceremony and our personal vows. Katherine was there for every step of the way, providing guidance and helping us review our vows. We did a rehearsal prior to our wedding to make sure that everything went smoothly.

When we first read our first draft of the ceremony, we knew we chose the right person to do our ceremony. Katherine perfectly captured our lives together and when she recited our ceremony in front of our guests, they felt like they were reliving our moments together. Every guest was blown away with Katherine's words, and how well she did throughout the ceremony. It was a special moment that we will never forget. Again, if you are looking for a celebrant that will leave everlasting moments, you should definitely consider Katherine.

Katherine is One of a Kind

Katherine was incredible. She was so helpful, prepared professional, and deeply invested in making sure our wedding went as smoothly as possible and that it was exactly what we wanted -- personal, meaningful, and reflective of who we are. Everyone at our wedding had a great time, but we heard from so many people that the ceremony was their favorite part of the day and like nothing they had ever experienced before. Part of that was us, and what we had planned, but it was also because of Katherine's orchestration, her moving and sweet ceremony that was so personal that people asked her how she knew us on the way out. If you want a personalized ceremony, and someone who is going to be helpful, organized, and reinforce that the day is about you, I can't imagine anyone better than Katherine. We were so happy, beyond happy, with how the ceremony went and grateful for Katherine's approach to the timeline, coordinating with vendors, her careful discussion of the walkthrough, and above all the ceremony she helped us build and the sweet and thoughtful words she added to the day. Truly, she was wonderful.

Best decision you'll ever make!

To say that Katherine was the best decision we made in the selection of all of our vendors would be an understatement. From the moment we did our first meeting to our last; Katherine's professionalism, enthusiasm, guidance, and support were unparalleled. As a bride that was planning from out of state and experienced many challenges when it came to working with personalities of families and vendors alike, Katherine was an open ear to lean on and whom provided assistance in areas that went above and beyond the call of duty. When it came to actually writing our ceremony, she provided examples and took our thoughts so seriously that by the time we got to our final draft, it felt as if Katherine had known us for the entirety of our relationship. That sentiment was carried over by our guests as everyone commented on how perfectly crafted our ceremony was. If I could give 100 stars to Katherine, I would. I could not imagine my day without her!

Katherine is one of the best vendors period!

I’ve been a wedding photographer for 11+ years and I do not know of an officiant who works harder or prepares more for her clients than Katherine! She’s the best, always very easy to work with and that delivery during the ceremony is always 🔥.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
