The Best Officiant!

We won the lottery with Kayla! You will instantly feel the warmth and connection that radiates from her beautiful soul. We would highly recommend doing the premarital counseling. She reaffirms your compatibilities and emphasizes the steps to take to create a happy, lifelong marriage. She got to know us well and was able to personalize the speech to us. The rehearsal was efficient and smooth under her direction. She provided a great template to personalize the ceremony speech with beautiful excerpts and suggestions that made it easy for us to have the most perfect day. We are so honored and happy to have her in our memories when we reflect on our wedding day. She will go above and beyond to make your day special!

We are so grateful to have had such a wonderful, talented, organized, and caring officiant for our wedding, From the first meeting, she helped to provide options and was open to our requests for personalization and to make the ceremony exactly as we had imagined it. It was such a meaningful part of our day and something we will always look back upon with love. We would happily recommend Kayla to other couples looking for an officiant that truly cares about them and their special moment.

Fantastic!

Kayla was a fantastic officiant and calm presence on our special day! She was warm and professional and even navigated some annoying day-of technical difficulties with grace and poise.

My husband and I especially appreciated the ceremony workbook and planning meeting. Kayla has many beautifully written options to choose from for each section of the ceremony, and it really helped us craft something that felt timeless but also true to our vision. She even helped us take phrases that resonated with us and incorporate them into other parts of the ceremony. The result was gorgeous and there was not a dry eye in the room when read out loud!

You can tell Kayla is truly a professional and finds so much joy in what she does. 100% recommend!
