Definitely Recommend!

We couldn’t have asked for a better wedding officiant! Rachel made our ceremony truly special with her warmth, professionalism, and heartfelt delivery. She took the time to understand our story and crafted a personalized ceremony that perfectly captured our love and values. Her calm presence and seamless coordination kept everything running smoothly, allowing us to focus on the moment. She also helped run our rehearsal which made the day run so smoothly. We received so many compliments from guests about how meaningful and engaging the ceremony was. Highly recommend Koru Ceremony, and specifically Rachel, for anyone looking for a memorable and heartfelt wedding experience!

Una Delivered

My wife and I worked with Una to have our wedding officiated. It was wonderful. We needed some things a little bit different as we are a mixed-culture couple and Una made this incredibly easy to fit into the ceremony.

We were initially looking for an officiant that was traditionally trained and after learning about Una and here church and background we knew it was a great fit.

She understood exactly what we were looking for and delivered.

Hockey Love Story

Brad was an absolutely exceptional as our wedding officiant. From the very beginning he, took the time to get to know our story and brought it to life in the most beautiful and heartfelt way. Who would of thought that a hockey game turning into marriage! Our ceremony was everything we hoped for--meaningful, personal and filled with love and laughter. Brad has a true gift for connecting with people and creating an atmosphere that brings everyone together. His experience alone and his gut created a masterpiece for us! He played such an important role in making our day unforgettable, and we are so grateful for his professionalism, warmth, and attention to detail. We highly recommend Brad and Koru Ceremony to anyone looking for an officiant who goes above and beyond to make your special day truly memorable!

Rachel at Koru ceremony saved our day!

Rachel saved our day! As a type B bride I’m not the most organized person. When I reached out to Koru Ceremony just weeks before my wedding with nothing but the decor planned for the actually ceremony you could say I was certainly stressed! they had me fill out a questionnaire to find an officiant to best suit our needs and fit us as a couple. Rachel took away all my worry by the first meeting. She was thorough and she went through every detail of the process and thought of things I didn’t even know were needed! I got to make a custom ceremony with her and my now husband. I was told use to be a wedding planner and those instincts kicked in when our small wedding group seemed a little lost as I’m very go with the flow and we did not have a rehearsal. She told them exactly what they needed to do. She went with our care free energy and added some structure while also making everything feel light fun and stress free. She is a beautiful public speaker and we are so lucky to have found you Rachel. Thank you for all the advice, well wishes and compliments the day of. You were truly an intricate part in my magical day

A Must Have

Koru did and AMAZING job at putting together our ceremony! Our guests could not stop raving about how personalized and special the ceremony was. It was truly memorable. Deciding on an officiant was one of our tougher decisions for us during wedding planning. We went back and forth on asking a friend vs hiring a vendor. Pat was so personable and bubbly during our first meet, my husband and I knew the second we hung up on the Zoom meeting that we were going to hire her. Pat was so easygoing and responsive to questions/changes we made throughout the process. She was also a large help during our rehearsal and had a ton of great tips for the wedding party. Hiring Koru was one of the best decision we made for our wedding day.

Perfect Officiant for Our Big Day!!!

We had Úna Lucey-Lee as our officiant for our wedding on 05/25/2025. Prior to booking, we filled out some information regarding what we were looking for in an officiant, and Úna was the one that was suggested for us. As soon as we met with her, we knew we wanted to book with her - she was so friendly and engaged in the conversation. We could tell immediately that she would be the right fit - perfect energy level for what we wanted, we related to her on several personal levels and she was very compassionate when we explained certain family issues that we had that may be pertinent to the ceremony.

After our first meeting with her, we filled out all the information in the online portal to determine wording preferences for our vows/ceremony. Then we received the first draft of the ceremony, which included several comments and clarifications from Úna. Any questions we had regarding wording changes were met with enthusiasm and she gave us plenty of helpful feedback. We were so pleased with how the final draft came out.

We had a rehearsal dinner at a local restaurant and Úna attended to help us walk everything through. She helped keep all the members of the wedding party focused during the rehearsal, while being very chill and fun to work with. We had asked her to make a small announcement to remind people to not drink too heavily before the ceremony, and she delivered that announcement very tactfully and kept the mood light.

She arrived to the venue on time to make sure everything was situated for the ceremony, and made sure everything ran smoothly prior to guests arriving. After the ceremony, several different guests approached us to compliment the ceremony and Úna’s role in it specifically. She stuck around for a little bit during our cocktail hour and was very popular with all of the guests who spoke with her.

Overall, Koru was very easy to work with, and we are so incredibly happy that we chose Úna to work with. We would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for an officiant that will enthusiastically help curate the perfect, personalized ceremony.

Thank you Úna!

Perfect Ceremony for Us!

Brad Schnell officiated our wedding at the Tinsmith in Madison, WI on April 26th and did a phenomenal job! Brad took the time to get to know us and our story and created a ceremony that truly reflected us as a couple. We were getting non-stop compliments from our guests about how lovely the ceremony was, and so much of that was due to how he thoughtfully crafted the ceremony and his incredible storytelling skills. Brad was also a huge support for navigating the legal side of the marriage process as well, and saved the day by printing our marriage certificate for us on short notice. We are so grateful that we had Brad leading the way to this exciting new phase of our lives.

Literally Perfect Wedding

Abbie showed up for rehearsal and helped us tremendously. She was organized and helped us run the rehearsal until we were satisfied. She answered all of our questions and made sure we had what we needed for our wedding day.
On our big day she showed up early and checked in with me. She made sure I was doing well and double checked we had all the forms we needed before hand to make everything run smooth. She then when to check in with the DJ and set up. The ceremony was perfect. Alex and I felt extremely comfortable up there with her and knew exactly what to expect. After the ceremony was over she helped us sign our license and congratulated us. We never felt rushed and felt heard the whole time.
Afterwards during the reception I can’t tell you how many compliments we got on the ceremony. All in all we were told it was beautifully written, the perfect length to get the point across, the delivery was spectacular and original. Our guests were also very moved by the ceremony and we were also told it was one of the best weddings they’ve been to this year, a lot of them being to many weddings already this year.

We can’t say how grateful we are that we chose you guys and felt our wedding ceremony exceeded our expectations. Thank you for providing a wonderful service.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.

Wow. Having done over 600 weddings as a DJ. I must say I really enjoyed working with Pat. Beforehand emailing me to communicate on our couples behalf, and during the ceremony going over every last detail with me in advance, and her style in the actual ceremony was perfect. Fun, without being corny, elegant, sentimental and thoughtful, without talking too much or adding too much from the officiants perspective. If you cant tell I have seen alot of lesser officiants conducting ceremonies. Pat REALLY nails it. Not to mention just a super friendly person as well! Thanks Pat!

We have known and worked with Rev. Pat Werk for many years, both in her capacity as wedding coordinator at various venues in the Madison area and as a wedding Officiant throughout south central Wisconsin. She is a wonderful combination of being a superb professional and one of the most loving people we have ever met. And she brings both of these to her weddings. She takes great joy in assisting her couples to celebrate what will be a great moment in their lives. She does so by working closely with each couple to create a unique ceremony, one that reflects who the couple is and what is most meaningful in their relationship. The end result is a ceremony that inspires all who attend. If we were getting married again, we would have Rev. Pat as our officiant. Check her out - you will be impressed!
