The Perfect Officiant for Our Wedding

Bonnie was the best officiant we could have asked for. She was so sweet and kind and we loved the Apache Prayer and everything she added to make our ceremony original. She definitely added some much needed levity as well, which was good because I was a little tense in the beginning! She even gave me a sweet gift, which was so sweet and thoughtful. Thank you, Bonnie, for such an incredible and beautiful ceremony. You made our wedding amazing and some of our guests said later that it even made them think of a rom com! We are so grateful to you for being there for us on that perfect day! Love, Christina and Albert Jacobs

Reverend Bonnie is wonderful!

Reverend Bonnie was so helpful in making our wedding special. Her approach felt like a celebration of our relationship and our future together. She incorporated our family's traditions into the ceremony. Most importantly she was a warm and calming presence on the day of our wedding. She made us laugh and helped us remain calm even when a few surprises and unexpected delays happened.
If you are considering Reverend Bonnie contact her you will be so happy to have her as a part of your wedding day.

Rev. Bonnie is for Everyone

Reverend McKinstry, or Bonnie as she likes to be called, was the perfect choice for our wedding. My wife and I wanted someone that could recall the warmth and welcome we felt growing up in the protestant faith but who could also hold a more relaxed and earthly ceremony. We found that balance with Reverend Bonnie. She gave us several ceremonies to choose from and modified our favorite so that it was perfect for us and our guests. Reverend Bonnie put in the effort to get to know us before the wedding so she could be a friend and confidant to us on our big day. And when the rehearsal or ceremony needed to begin, she called the room to attention tactfully. Throughout the entire process, Reverend Bonnie was kind, helpful, accessible, and prompt. I would recommend her highly.

Five stars

We used Rev. Bonnie to get married back in 2011. We had a military wedding and she was a great addition. She was wonderful, sweet, punctual, and honestly seem to care about you and your wedding. I would gladly recommend Rev. Bonnie to any couple trying to find a nice and easy-going Rev. for their nuptials.

Amazing experience working with Rev Bonnie

Our decision to work with Reverend Bonnie was hands-down the easiest part of our wedding process and I don’t think our experience could have been better. We had plans to meet with a few different folks, but meeting Bonnie over coffee, that one conversation was enough to convince us she was absolutely the person we wanted to be our officiant.

On all fronts, she ‘met us where we were’, offered insight and suggestions when we asked for them, but was equally collaborative in the process, and just genuinely kind and nice. She brought such a positive energy both in our wedding planning and especially the day of the wedding. Leaving our meeting with her, we legit just discussed on the walk in the parking lot and had essentially made our decision by the time we reached the car.

As an officiant, and honestly just as an individual, we couldn’t recommend Reverend Bonnie more highly. From all we saw, atop handling her duties as an officiant with a rare balance of reverence and lightheartedness together, she just struck us as a genuinely kind person and that made the process of working
together so effortless. Thank you again, Bonnie!

Loved Bonnie!

My husband and I were so happy we found Bonnie to officiate our wedding. She was very sweet and flexible with us having a more laidback wedding, working with us on our vows and always quick to respond to emails leading up to the big day. Thank you so much, Bonnie!
