About

From elopements, simple “make it legal” ceremonies, formal ceremonies, activity/adventure based ceremonies, destination weddings, vow renewals, surprise cermonies, you name it, I love working with people on all kinds of ceremonies. I look at it as “Your Day…Your Way”. I would love the opportunity to discuss your ideas and work with you on making your wedding day a day to remember. Whether it is an intimate ceremony for just the two of you or a ceremony witnessed by a hall full of your family and friends, I do all kinds of ceremonies. No idea is too crazy. I love so many of the traditions around weddings. But, I also really enjoy many of the original and creative ways to get married. Or, a beautiful mix of the two.

Kelly was great!!!

We can’t thank Kelly enough for going above and beyond making our ceremony so special. Kelly ensured we were comfortable with the length of the ceremony and gave us a draft of it to review before hand. She was so easy to talk to and very understanding! Kelly always was just a email or phone call away if we had any questions. We got married at the Summit of Loon Mountain and she made our short and sweet ceremony perfect! Thank you Kelly!

Kelly was wonderful!

Kelly was wonderful! She made our special day more special than we could have imagined. She made us feel very comfortable and she was very attentive to our needs. Her beautiful words for the ceremony were exceptional. If you are considering having Kelly perform your ceremony, please do not delay, book her today. She was terrific!

Kelly took the time to know our story and incorporate it into our wedding ceremony. We loved that she provided us with samples to review so we knew where to begin. Kelly was great!

We feel incredibly lucky that Kelly performed our marriage ceremony. Though she did much more than that! She was so open and kind from the first email. We were starting with a blank slate and Kelly provided information and examples for us to review to create our own ceremony. She was so easy to work with, especially with us being 3 hours away. We were able to get on the phone, Skype, email and share Google docs. Most of all, Kelly has a wonderful energy about her. We were so comfortable with her and knew she was someone we could trust to marry us. It was a truly special experience, we were so happy with how our ceremony turned out and we would absolutely recommend her to anyone.

Working with Kelly was an absolute pleasure! She performed our ceremony at the Bellevue Barn in Jefferson, NH in September 2018.

We were considering having a friend officiate our wedding and initially contacted Kelly with the thought of having her help out our friend with writing a ceremony. After our first call, we decided to have Kelly do it herself. There are so many things about wedding planning and making sure all of the details are perfect that can be really stressful, but Kelly has such a calming way about her. She makes you feel comfortable because of her demeanor and her clear experience.

She worked with us to create a totally custom ceremony that felt true to our relationship with so many personal touches - and made it easy! She sent over lots of examples that helped us get find what resonated with us. We received so many compliments on the ceremony itself and how clear everyone could hear. Kelly was so friendly and professional; I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for an officiant!

Kelly performed our service in Bretton Woods in early September. We actually took a ride to meet and speak with her in June. I found Kelly to be warm and inviting. She was so helpful with suggestions and ideas to make our ceremony perfect. She made us feel like we’d been friends for a long time. She is super prompt and we worked everything out through email. I can’t tell you how many of our guests commented on how lovely she was. I didn’t want her to leave!!! We couldn’t have been happier with her services. I would highly recommend her.

We absolutely loved working with Kelly! Since we live in Arizona and there is a time change, Kelly was extremely flexible when planning our Skype sessions. She gave us lots of great ideas about customizing our ceremony and she took our ideas into consideration as well. She created a beautiful and perfect ceremony that we will cherish forever!! Even our guests talked about how our ceremony was so unique and customized to us! We HIGHLY recommend her to be every couples JP!

What can we say about Kelly? She was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding! After originally thinking that we would have a friend perform the ceremony, we ultimately decided that we wanted a professional, and Kelly was on our venue's preferred vendor list. After talking to her on the phone (for over an hour!) the first time, I knew that she would be absolutely perfect. She wanted our ceremony to be just the - our ceremony. She sent over tons of examples, but the ball was in our court. We were able to personalize everything to fit us, and Kelly was on board. She offered suggestions from her past experience which was so helpful, and she was funny, kind and supportive through the entire process. You would not BELIEVE the compliments that I got after our ceremony was finished - everyone absolutely loved Kelly and thought she did a wonderful job. She knows the little tricks to make everything flow perfectly, and she even stepped to the side just before our first kiss so that she wasn't in the background of the photo! Kelly, thank you so much for everything you did for us, we can never thank you enough! <3 Kendra & Andrew

I recently had the pleasure of working on a wedding with Kelly, and I can say without a doubt... she is a fantastic service provider. As an ordained minister for my clients, she was organized, attentive, caring, professional and brought a level of warmth to her services that I don't often encounter from vendors in this line of business. I highly recommend Kelly and look forward to working with her again in the future!
