Very professional and enthusiastic about Officiating our wedding at Kiptopeke State Park.

We cannot recommend Rev. Viola Abbitt highly enough—she was, without a doubt, the best choice we made for our wedding day. From start to finish, the entire process of planning and executing our ceremony was seamless, personal, and joyful.

Viola set the standard for professionalism immediately. She was incredibly prompt, kind, and perfectly on time for all our meetings and the wedding itself. Her communication was flawless; she was very responsive to all emails, often getting back to us within hours, which alleviated so much planning stress. We appreciated the structured approach, including multiple planning meetings that ensured we were always aligned and comfortable with the next steps. A huge bonus was her administrative efficiency: the license paperwork was mailed out the very next day, giving us total peace of mind.

Personalized & Thoughtful Ceremony Design

Viola provided awesome guidelines and resources that allowed us to create a deeply personal ceremony from scratch. Her guidance was collaborative, not prescriptive, and she truly empowered us to design a service that reflected our relationship.

Crucially, she has a masterful ability to navigate delicate family dynamics. Our ceremony was non-religious, but she was able to deliver it in a way that felt completely digestible and respectful for our religious family members, striking the perfect inclusive tone we were hoping for.

On the day, Viola's delivery was flawless. She spoke loudly and clearly, ensuring every single guest heard every word, even without a microphone. She carried herself with warmth and confidence, making our ceremony feel both sacred and completely authentic to us.

After 8 years of being engaged, we decided it was time to jump in. We had roughly 2 months to plan and execute the entire event. Rev. Abbitt was a great help guiding us through the process. Her friendly and open demeaner allowed us to incorporate all the complex different ceremonial gestures and include our family in the ceremony. Some of which stemmed from a broad variety of various traditions/religions. Understanding our hectic schedule, she was very flexible with the meetings and was a wealth of knowledge and experience that was a relief for us knowing that she had our interests at heart.

Rev. Viola Abbitt is very professional, communicative, flexible, and made our wedding very special. She is super friendly and easy to talk to and provides a lot of helpful information on the marriage ceremony and process. I can’t recommend Rev. Abbitt enough!
