The Best Officiant in Northern Michigan!

Kelly was an absolute pleasure to work with! She was incredibly organized, professional, and we felt she told our story so well. We loved our ceremony, and there were so many people who complimented us on how well she did. She helped coordinate all the things for the cemerony including our wedding party, family, band, and everything in between. I was very at ease that I knew she had everything covered! The filing process was also seamless and she is very knowledgeable about next steps after you tie the knot. I highly recommend Kelly to anyone getting married in the northern Michigan area and beyond!

An expert officiant with an abundance of warmth and grace

Kelly officiated our marriage with such warmth and sincerity. Though we chose a short ceremony for our intimate nuptials, it was meaningful and beautiful. She has a lovely style of delivery and a kindness that shines through in her words and interactions with others. She was professional and prompt in responding to us. We are so glad we found her!

Great Experience with Kelly

We had Kelly officiate our wedding in late spring of this year. She spent time with us via email and zoom call and really did her best to get to know my partner and I. Between her summary of our relationship thus far and the reading she performed, she really did a great job making a beautiful ceremony. Kelly has also worked with our venue before, so she knew the quirks of the site and her experience helped everything flow nicely. I'm not sure if she's only in TC area, but if you're in need of officiating services we cannot recommend Kelly enough. Thank you again!

Wedding Weekend

Kelly was amazing to work with! As the bride I was not stressed at all because I knew she had everything under control! We honestly couldn’t have had the perfect wedding day we did without her assistance! Not only was she our coordinator but she also officiated or wedding! My aunt who is retired from the wedding industry said Kelly was the best coordinator she has ever worked with so that speaks volumes! We will honestly miss working with her!

Everything we wanted

Kelly is absolutely amazing. She goes above and beyond. Our ceremony was beautiful. It was heartfelt, personalized and we truly felt that Kelly took the time to make it special for us. From our first call we knew she would be a great fit for our day. We received compliments over and over again from our guests on how beautiful the ceremony was and how our “officiant” did a wonderful job. I would hire her 100x over and recommend to anyone getting married in the area, hire Kelly. You will feel as though she is truly apart of your day and cares about making your ceremony special.

Kelly is amazing!

Kelly recently officiated our ceremony on July 1, 2023, and we could not have imagined a more perfect day. We were already civilly married prior to our planned big day but were looking for something fairly simple to give us that wedding ceremony experience. Throughout the planning process Kelly was responsive, professional, organized, an absolute PLEASURE to work with. She had such a warm energy that made us feel super comfortable in our choice right from the very beginning. We wanted to keep our ceremony quick, light, and fun but not sacrifice the emotional elements and Kelly’s script options delivered on just that. She really took the time to get to know us as a couple through phone and Zoom calls and even had us both write our own personal portion of the vows that we had kept secret from each other until the ceremony when she incorporated them into her script. Our whole experience with Kelly was super laid back, personal, and most importantly, fun! We highly, highly recommend reaching out to Kelly if you are looking for an officiant!
