Couldn't have chosen a better person!

We loved having Kathy as a part of our Special Day! It could not have been more perfect. We were both brought to tears by some of the personal words she shared at our Ceremony. If you're looking for the perfect officiant, you've found it!

Intimate and beautiful

We had another officiant cancel on us last minute and we found Kathy I sent her a message on their website and she called me back within minutes and was so sweet and flexible. We were not wanting anything big we honestly just wanted the papers signed but I am so glad that we went with Kathy and her husband because it is a memory and moment that we will forever cherish. The venue is absolutely gorgeous and you will not go wrong if you want something intimate and sweet and to have as a beautiful memory forever.

A Great Experience!

Kathy and Patrick responded quickly to our request to perform the ceremony on a short notice and stayed in touch throughout! When we needed suggestions on location they brought us to the perfect spot on folly beach. They really care about what they do and are great at it! Great people and an awesome experience!

Best day ever!

Kathy and her husband Patrick were the most gracious hosts for us! They worked with us. Allowed me to get dressed there and worked to make our day so magical! We planned our elopement in a matter of days and they were the cherry on top! It was beautiful on the marsh, they even allowed us to have our dog there too! Hope to stay in touch with Kathy! Got a husband and made some friends!

Wonderful!!!

Mrs. Kathy & Mr. Garvey really go out of their way to make it a very sweet special occasion. My wedding was all I wanted it to be and a little extra thanks to these very nice people. The marsh & the arch are both really beautiful. Thanks again!!

Wonderful experience, highly recommend!

My husband and I were so thankful for Kathy. We had been engaged over a year and our wedding was delayed due to COVID19. We tossed around the idea of eloping a few days before we were going to be in the Charleston area on a beach trip. We miraculously got a marriage license in time, then found Kathy's website. She was so pleasant and flexible to work with on short notice. She did an excellent job and made our day very special. She brought a bouquet, wine, and a shark's tooth my husband thinks is cooler to wear than his wedding band (that's a different story). Overall we were so happy with our decision, and you could see how genuinely happy Kathy was for us. If you're in the same boat we were, we can't recommend her services enough.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
