Simply the best!

If you’re looking for the perfect wedding officiant, look no further than Kayla! Our original officiant canceled just three weeks before our wedding, and finding Kayla was truly a blessing in disguise. We weren’t exactly sure what we wanted for the ceremony, but Kayla made everything so easy. She sent us a packet of different options that we could mix and match, allowing us to personalize our ceremony in a way that felt authentic to us.

We also wanted to include my fiancé’s daughters as part of the ceremony, and Kayla came up with a beautiful and creative idea that incorporated them into our vows in the most meaningful way. Throughout the entire process, Kayla was incredibly communicative and supportive. She guided us through every step, from obtaining our marriage license to the rehearsal and the big day itself.

Kayla is warm, professional, and truly listens to the wants and needs of the couple. She made us feel comfortable and confident, and she’s just such a joy to be around. We couldn’t have asked for a better officiant. Don’t think twice—choose Kayla!

Uniquely Crafted Ceremonies

Kayla Allen helped to make our wedding day perfect by meeting with us on multiple occasions to handcraft our ceremony. She took the time to get to know us and our goals for our ceremony, and made us feel so at ease. Kayla Allen is accommodating to both religious/spiritual and nonreligious/nonspiritual couples, which also made us feel so comfortable with her. We were told by multiple guests how beautiful and uniquely “us” our ceremony was, and that is completely due to Kayla Allen’s ability to understand each and every couple she works with. We cannot recommend her enough!

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!
