Best Officiant!!!

There really are no words to describe how wonderful Cynthia is! She worked so hard to get to know us and make our wedding day so special. I was very overwhelmed the month leading up to the wedding and Cynthia kept things on track and helped form the ceremony. She was wonderful to work with and really went above and beyond. Highly recommended!

We couldn't have found a more perfect officiant if we'd made her ourselves!

From the first email Kenna sent us (the same day I sent an info request), we knew we were in good hands. Every interaction we had with her was perfect. She totally understood us, and even though we really didn't know exactly what we wanted, she took our vague ideas and our nerdy likes and designed a ceremony and vows that were better than we could have imagined. It was everything we hoped for and more. She took what might have been a simple fill-in-the-blank totally forgettable ceremony and made it a celebration of our unique and nerdy love that everyone who was there will remember for years and that we will remember forever. We can't thank her enough! If you're hesitating on picking someone for your off-the-beaten-track ceremony, don't hesitate another second. Reach out to Kenna - you won't regret it!

Perfection

Kenna is so amazing to work with. She is so warm, friendly, inviting and funny. Everyone had a good laugh and a good sniffle. Our ceremony was perfect and so personalized for us. It's like she has known us for years.

Every couple should have an opportunity to have a beautiful, personal and meaningful ceremony, even if they do not wish to have a religious one.

Kenna Covington is a Humanist Celebrant, endorsed by the American Humanist Society, who performs secular weddings, unions and other ceremonies. She is thoughtful, kind, warm, smart, experienced, inclusive and one of the most giving people I know.
