About
Rev. Kate Adamson is a state-certified interfaith wedding officiant based in Charlottesville, Virginia, offering ceremonies with meaning, beauty, and laughter. Rev. Kate works with couples who seek a wedding that is creative, personal, and a reflection of who they are as individuals.

Services Offered
Couples work with Rev. Kate to create a wedding that is centered around their love, with customized vows and other personal touches. As an ordained interfaith minister, Reverend Kate has experience working with couples of varied religious traditions and backgrounds, including earth-based/pagan, Jewish, Muslim, Quaker, Unitarian, Christian, and more! She also serves people who are non-denominational, agnostic, or atheist, with ceremonies centered on the simple truth of love.
Rev Kate also loves working with couples who are looking for creative elopement. Rev Kate is willing to hike to a mountaintop at sunrise, climb into a hot air balloon for a wedding in the air, or help you say your vows while getting tattooed!
The Process
After an initial phone consultation, Rev. Kate loves to meet with couples in person, if possible, for a more detailed ceremony design process (Skype or FaceTime are also possible). Kate can provide samples of readings, vows, and ceremony options for the couple to consider, and couples are encouraged to bring their own unique ideas of what they want for their wedding. After that meeting, Kate compiles a draft ceremony outline, and the couples are welcome to continue revising and providing input.
Kate is happy to attend the wedding rehearsal to help ensure that everyone involved is clear and informed about the necessary details. On the day of the wedding, Kate provides a grounded, professional presence that helps to ease any stress or nervousness. Afterward, Kate completes and mails in the marriage license, and provides the couple with a copy of the text of their unique wedding ceremony.

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!
