About this vendor

Rev. Karen Gray, Interfaith Minister, is a wedding officiant serving Washington, DC, Maryland, and Northern Virginia.

I would love to celebrate your wedding with you!

I have been composing and officiating ceremonies since 2005, finding joyful connections with my brides and grooms, and guiding them through the creative moments of celebrating this beautiful life commitment.

Sacred or secular; formal and/or fun-filled. I can create it for you, OR we can work together step-by-step. Either way, this is a process that supports you and celebrates this unique milestone in your lives. Every wedding is original and approached with enthusiasm.

I am an interfaith minister. All service, no dogma! I was ordained in New York City in 2003.

If asked to officiate your ceremony, I will surely give the full power of my heart, mind, and intuition to guiding you to and through a ceremony that reflects and celebrates who you are and what this moment means to you.

WHAT I DO:

Connection I get to know you in person and/or over the phone or via video chat. Plus, I share some easy (and fun) questions for you to answer for me.

Personalization If you wish, I will create a tailor-made ceremony, always loving and heartfelt. Or we will create something together!
Structure, Guidance, Examples I ask the right questions, so that your wedding ceremony will be just what you want. What's your vision? It's your choice to be traditional, spiritual, original, or multicultural. I will share with you examples of language, structure, etc., to help us craft your ceremony.

Something Different! If you'd like, I'll research and help create special rituals or ceremonies to celebrate the culture or tradition that is important to you. It has been my joy and privilege to include a variety of wedding rituals, honoring such traditions as: a Vietnamese Tea Ceremony, a Persian Sofreh, Seven Circles (Indian ceremony), Jumping the Broom, and Celtic hand-fasting! And More!

WHAT I NEED FROM YOU:

Come to this with joyful anticipation!

Be YOU, and let this ceremony be an expression of the unique relationship we are celebrating.

Our Beautiful Wedding

We wanted a small ceremony in a local park gazebo near our home. Karen’s suggestions rendered with empathy and intelligence, while leading us in our spiritual commitment, proved a profound life passage for us.

Rev Gray’s obvious breadth of experience in adapting to our wishes made this a seamless
and beautiful memory we cherish .

Perfectly Personalized Professional

“We knew immediately that Karen was the person to lead our most important day. From the moment we sat down with her to plan our wedding, she went out of her way to make sure the ceremony reflected our personalities. Her willingness to entertain all of our multicultural and non-traditional ideas resulted in a wedding that was a truly one-of-a-kind, personal, and memorable event. From individual interviews ... to ideas and examples ... to agreeing to sing “It Must Be Love” by Madness as a postlude, Karen was the perfect Master of Ceremonies!

Wonderful Experience

Karen took a lot of time to talk with both of us before our wedding to make sure that her speech was touching and personal and detailed so much of the nuance that made our relationship so special. We appreciated all of her help and guidance and she was so good about making the ceremony all about the things that were important to the two of us specifically. She was extremely thoughtful and professional and I would happily recommend her to anyone looking for a great officiant.

The Most Incredible Officiant!

Karen is very charismatic. She brought our ceremony to life. Our guests specifically told us what a wonderful speaker our officiant was. My partner and I wrote our own vows. Karen was the perfect sounding board and made sure our vows were compatible. Karen is very experienced and gave us useful advice as well as things to avoid. Our wedding would not have succeeded without her. We recommend her as a must have!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
