Hands down the best officiant

Kim officiated not one but two of my weddings. I was a "victim" of covid with my wedding being postponed and she was there when I needed her! She helped us elope our June wedding and also officate our November one. Kim is literally the best person hands down. She is so kind, funny and just down to earth. I had the pleasure of getting to know her with the premarital counseling and our two weddings and she truly was a delight. If you are looking for someone that makes your wedding feel special and unique, look no further.

We love kim!

From the moment we met Kim via Zoom, we felt such warmth from her. Start to finish, she was a such a joy to communicate with. She listened to everything we said and crafted such a moving, humorous, and beautiful ceremony. Most guests came up to us afterwards at some point and said it was the best ceremony they'd ever witnessed, and that was largely due to Kim. She was punctual, attentive, positive, and efficient the whole way through. We LOVE Kim, and you will too!

Go ahead and hire her already!

When I was researching wedding officiants, I had stumbled upon Kim and was taken aback by the wonderful reviews. I had decided to contact her and was very happy with her response time. Literally so fast! When my husband (then fiancé) and I first met Kim, we were more than pleased with how responsive she was. Kim really cares about her couples…and it shows! On the day of our wedding she was right on time and did such a wonderful job with our ceremony. We had a small, intimate wedding and Kim fit right into our vision. If you haven’t picked an officiant yet, go ahead and choose Kim. You WILL NOT be disappointed.

Thanks again Rev Hodges!

Amazing!

We chose Rev. Kim for our ceremony and our experience was just fantastic. Leading up to the wedding, Kim was very kind, responsive, and organized. During the ceremony, I felt very at ease when she spoke—she used a perfect, warm tone with a touch of lightheartedness that my family later complimented as well. We expressed concerns that she handled so well, and I ended up not being as nervous as I originally thought I would be, all due to Kim. If you're in the market for a wedding officiant chose Rev. Kim, she is so so so wonderful! 1000/10

Best officiant we could have asked for!

Kim was an exceptional officiant to work with! We had our first meeting with her virtually to make sure we were a good fit for each other. Our second meeting closer to the wedding, she got to know our story and we hashed out the ceremony plan and she was very understanding of all the little details we wanted. The day of the wedding she arrived early and checked in with both of us. Her speech was lovely and she managed to capture our relationship perfectly while also getting a lot of tears and a few giggles out of the audience. Highly recommend!

Highly recommend!

Rev Kim Hodges was amazing on our wedding day. She got to know my husband and I and was very helpful in helping us incorporate our family cultures and traditions. Her guidance for verses still mean so much to us post wedding. She kept in touch leading up to the wedding day, which we greatly appreciated. We are so grateful to have booked a wonderful officiant!

Kim Hodges is the absolute BEST!

After deciding last minute to pivot from a church ceremony to a civil ceremony, my now husband and I weren't sure where to start in finding an officiant for our November wedding. After reading other reviews here, we thought Kim could be a good fit for us and after meeting her we absolutely KNEW she was the right person to marry us. She took the time to get to know us both and made us feel so comfortable throughout the process. She also took the time to ensure she really understood what elements of the ceremony were important to us to include/incorporate and did a beautiful job the day of in making sure those elements were brought to life in a natural way. If you are looking for an officiant we HIGHLY recommend setting time up with Kim to see if she's the right fit for you as well - we know our big day would not have been the same without her!!

Rev. Kim Helped to Make Our Day Perfect

My husband Philip and I loved having Rev. Kim as our officiant for our ceremony at Lesner Inn! We grew up with different religious backgrounds and decided to have a non-denominational ceremony which Kim was able to accommodate. We were able to Zoom with her a couple times to go over exactly what we wanted said (prayers, vows, exchange of rings, etc.). We were also able to incorporate an ode to hand fasting instead of using something like unity candles. She read a beautiful poem called “Blessing of the Hands” and used her stole to wrap around our hands to join us together. Our ceremony was perfect and exactly how I always wanted it to be!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
