Perfect Officiant!

Kathryn was just a pleasure! She has such an incredible air about here. She is kind a quirky and full of life! There was no better match in our eyes for our wedding officiant. We had an incredible ceremony and people were really impressed with it. I was asked on multiple occasions how I found Kathryn and told what a wonderful job she did. She was able to touch on emotions and keep things light-hearted and beautifully flowing. We chose a reading to include and wrote our own vows. Kathryn made a little book of our ceremony reading in it for us to keep which I thought was such a nice touch!

We are so happy we chose Kathryn to be our officiant. We are both non-religious and wanted our wedding ceremony to be beautiful without being religious, which can be hard to find. We chose Kathryn's pre-written ceremony which we loved so much we didn't decide to do anything customized. It was beautiful and short which we needed as our ceremony was outside in December. Many of our guests commented on how moving her words were and how wonderfully she delivered them. She has a very warm presence, and Patrick was grateful for her company to help calm his nerves as he waited at the alter when there was a bit of a delay getting things started. She also gave us a nicely printed personalized copy of the ceremony to keep, which we absolutely love. We couldn't be happier we chose Kathryn to officiate our wedding.

Kathyrn's ceremony was perfect, exactly what we were looking for. We had only one skype conversation with Kathryn before meeting in person the first time on the big day, but all of our guests felt sure we must've been longtime friends. She was easy to talk to and work with and delivered a very moving ceremony. My dad even threw in an off-script curveball and she responded perfectly and with good humor! She is a true professional!

Kathryn was so wonderful to work with, we were able to meet with her and immediately knew we wanted to work with her. She helped us to come up with our own personal ceremony so that it was special to us. Thank you Kathryn!

We loved working with Kathryn! From our initial Skype session, we knew that Kathryn was going to be a wonderful officiant for our ceremony. We really appreciated her style: a great mix of warmth, humor, and reverence. We absolutely loved the ceremony she drafted for us. We didn't have too many specifications of what we wanted, and she put together a short ceremony with beautiful sentiments and readings, working off of a short questionnaire that we completed. Many of our family members said to us afterward that we had one of the most beautiful ceremonies that they'd experienced: sweet, poignant, and personal. It really was lovely and just what we were looking for. Highly recommended!

Kathryn officiated our wedding and we are SO happy that we worked with her as it could not have been more perfect. We had a very small wedding with only 25 guests and wanted it to be fairly low key - we rented a big farm house and just wanted to have a great time with our family and closest friends. With everything else being more low key/non-traditional I wanted the ceremony to be even more special and meaningful and Kathryn really made it unforgettable.

As requested Kathryn sent me the draft of the ceremony the week before the wedding so that I could translate it for my parents (they came from Germany). I couldn't even read through it without tearing up - it was so perfect, personalized, touching, unique. So much more than what I ever could have imagined.

On our wedding day Kathryn arrived early and led through the ceremony in the most engaging and capturing way. There was no guest who wasn't touched by her words, I cried and even the groom had tears in his eyes :) My parents even teared up when they read the translation afterwards - that's how touching her words were! Kathryn made our wedding truly unforgettable and I can only recommend her!

My husband I were so happy that Kathryn wrote our custom ceremony. She was full of great ideas to make our ceremony unique, lovely and memorable. She met with us at our home and asked us about ourselves, our relationship and why we love each other and came up with this amazing ceremony. We had some ideas of 'non-traditional' blessings and vows but weren't sure 100% how to put it all together. We talked it through with her and she put it all together beautifully. During the ceremony we laughed, we cried and we got married! I'm so happy that Kathryn married us and I would recommend her to everyone. Thanks Kathryn!

Kathryn was wonderful to work with! She prepared a beautiful ceremony that kept our guests engaged! It was everything we wanted it to be...sentimental, funny and personalized. She strives to make the ceremony everything you imagined whether you are traditional or not.

Kathryn is an awesome officiant! My fiance and I met with Kathryn back in June to plan for our August wedding. She has a great personality, that is both fun and calming at the same time. We were instantly sure that she was the one to lead our ceremony. She was very responsive and easy to work with during the planning and I was so excited to see her arrive on the day of our wedding (I might add in a fabulous dress that matched our wedding colors). Though we were on top of a hill with no microphones, Kathryn used her talents from her work in the theatre to project her voice so all could hear. I highly recommend to all!!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
