Creative and meaningful
My husband and I really wanted our ceremony to be meaningful. We didn’t want a quick “I do” then done. We met with Kate and she quickly gave us numerous ideas of what to do. She is extremely flexible and creative. She helped us develop a detailed timeline which including our family and friends. Our ceremony was perfect.

Rev Kate is experienced, professional, thoughtful and a calming presence.
Through our entire wedding planning and process, Kate was flexible, professional and thoughtful. She is a very down to earth, calming person and her experience and resources gave us many ideas and helped us know what to expect. We definitely recommend getting her for the rehearsal as well. She took a leadership role and walked everyone through the ceremony, but still kept the rehearsal fun, fast and easy to follow. She was also very flexible with last minute ceremony changes. We keep getting compliments of how beautiful the ceremony was. Me and my husband planned our whole wedding while living out of state with little other help, which was a task, but Rev. Kate definitely took a great amount of the pressure off us. Thank you so much for giving us a Wonderful ceremony to remember. We will send you some pictures soon!

Beautiful Ceremony
My husband and I met Kate almost a year before our wedding, and she worked closely with us leading up to our big day to ensure that our ceremony was absolutely perfect for us. We had so many ideas, and Kate took our pages and pages of brainstorming and crafted and delivered a beautiful ceremony that perfectly reflected our love and our commitment. We could not be happier with the service she provided. I highly recommend Kate.

I'm very interested in developing unique wedding traditions to fit our evolving understanding of marriage, gender, and spirituality. I'd love to work with couples who are interested in having a very "outside the box" ceremony (including non-traditional vows, family and guest participation, and creative rituals) . For your willingness to experiment and explore new possibilities, I'll offer a 10% discount off of my standard rate (not including travel).
Contact me to discuss your ideas!

Kate was such a joy to work with! I had the pleasure of witnessing one of her beautiful ceremonies at a wedding I photographed. She tied in so many personal anecdotes about the couple and preformed an unforgettably heartwarming and moving ceremony. I can't wait to work with her again soon!
