The best officiant!

Our ceremony got so many compliments and it was all because of Rev Kath! When she showed us the ceremony draft, it was the most beautiful thing we have ever read. It was witty, real, and beautiful. She captured our relationship so beautifully and her delivery of the ceremony was second to none. She speaks so eloquently and there was no way she left a dry eye among the guests. She is the perfect officiant for your wedding day and will go the extra mile to deliver a no less than perfect ceremony. Oh and I did I mention she is super cool and fun to talk to? Seriously, have Rev Kath officiate your wedding, she is the best.

Rev Kath is a wedding MUST!!

If you're looking for a bespoke, heartfelt, authentically crafted ceremony, then I cannot recommend Rev Kath enough. Creating a personalized ceremony that truly honored our relationship journey was my main wedding priority and Katherine both honored and elevated my vision. After only meeting via video call a handful of times, Rev Kath was able to write a ceremony that felt written from an old friend's perspective. She genuinely took the time to learn who were are as individuals and capture our love story. She was incredibly professional and kind to work with (in fact when my grandfather's hearing aid went out mid-ceremony, she gave him her written copy of the ceremony so he could read it afterwards). Even my guests came to me afterwards and shared that they "could listen to [Kath] speak for hours!" Other guests commented on how heartful and personal the ceremony felt. I honestly attribute so much of that to Katherine. Let her marry you - you won't regret it!!

The Best Officiant Experience

We are so glad that Jacob officiated our wedding! Our planner referred us to Reverend Katherine Dupree, and she thought Jacob would be a great fit for us. From our first meeting, Jacob was easy to talk to and immediately made us feel comfortable. He asked thoughtful questions to get to know us, and we found ourselves laughing with him right away.
His thorough questionnaire helped us share our story in a way that let him design a ceremony that truly reflected who we are as a couple. I especially loved that Scott and I didn’t get to see each other’s answers ahead of time, so parts of the ceremony were a fun surprise. We also wrote our own vows but wanted to keep them secret from each other until the wedding while still making sure they felt balanced. Even though we sent them to him at the last minute (the night before!), Jacob reviewed them and reassured me that they worked beautifully together.
Working with Jacob was seamless, and the ceremony he created for us was heartfelt, personal, and perfectly matched our vibe. We are so glad Jacob was our officiant!

The BEST ever!

Katherine was absolutely amazing. She spent time with us, getting to know what we wanted in our ceremony as well as getting to know us personally. She is incredibly sweet and responsive. I was nervous about standing in front of a crowd but Katherine made it all a breeze. So many people came up to us at the reception to say what a great job she did! We are so thankful Katherine made our ceremony perfect.

The best in the business

Reverend Katherine was hands down one of the best parts of our entire wedding day. From the moment I saw her officiate my cousin’s wedding, I knew she was the officiant for us. She was kind and flexible in the consultation process; she was more than willing to work out flying from the DMV to do our wedding in SWFL. Her consultation process was like talking to a friend; she spoke to us for about an hour without us even having to commit with a deposit or a contract and that showed me everything I needed to know about her dedication to her work. She is funny, an incredible listener, and empathetic. I knew that she was processing everything we were saying and that it was all going to be considered. Sure enough, Reverend Katherine’s ceremony was full of little details that we forgot even telling her because we were just so comfortable talking with her! Between the consult and the Google form, Reverend Katherine had everything she needed to be caught up on a 14 year long relationship and it showed. She spoke from the heart and it felt like she had been along for the ride over all those years. She matched the energy we had been hoping for and there was not a dry eye in the house. We laughed, cried, and had a trip down memory lane guided by Reverend Katherine. After the ceremony, so many of my guests stopped to tell me how much they loved her — which is the exact thing I did when I saw her at my cousin’s wedding the year prior! If you need a clearer demonstration of Reverend Katherine’s heart and dedication: she stuck around and waited for one of my vendors to run and get the marriage license I left back at the hotel so she could sign it with the actual date and so that we didn’t run into any legal issues later on down the road. Reverend Katherine is not someone doing this gig for the money or accolades — she is damn good at her job but that’s because she loves what she does and the people she works with and it shows. I hope that the next wedding I go to has Reverend Katherine because no other ceremony will ever compare!

Amazing & personal officiant

We loved Alexis! She was incredibly personal and her ceremony was extremely well crafted / made us feel like she had known us for years. She did a fantastic job getting to know us, sending us a draft before hand and preforming the ceremony. Could not recommend her enough and everyone raves about how great she was even months later!

The absolute best!

Rev Kath was literally one of the best choices we made when planning our wedding. Her personality was a perfect match for us - Rev Kath is so kind, genuine, and caring, with a great sense of humor! We clicked immediately, and she made our day so absolutely perfect and special. I highly recommend doing the Date Night with her - not only did my wife and I get to bond in ways we didn't expect, but we really got to bond with Rev and I think that was reflected in our ceremony (and she is also an Excellent chef!!) We also opted for the day-of grounding ceremony, which was the most lovely start to our day - I'm fully convinced I wasn't stressed at all because of Rev and her grounding! She has such a calming & connected presence and she truly has a special gift for this. Look no further and book Rev Dupree ASAP!!!

Amazing & personal ceremony!

We cannot begin to express how glad we are to have stumbled upon Rev through an online search. She is amazing. Rev understood who we were so quickly through chatting with us and this is because of the care and time she put in to asking us great questions so she could get to know us and our story. She is kind, genuinely interested to learn about us and immediately made us feel at ease while talking to her. She took such care in crafting the words for our ceremony.

Our wedding was a perfect balance of calm, emotional, happy and momentous. We didn't want a super formal ceremony, nor super romantic (although we're sure Rev would do an amazing job with that kind of ceremony too) - we really wanted to share our story with laughter and light heartedness.

Our friends and family could not stop talking about how wonderful our ceremony was and all said it was the most personal and best wedding ceremony they have attended. Many of our guests assumed that Rev was a close personal friend that we asked to officiate because of how well she knew our story and were surprised when we told them otherwise!

We're so grateful to have found Rev, for her giving us such a wonderful ceremony, and we really hope to remain in touch as friends now!

No amount of words can say how happy we are

We cannot say enough about the Rev.! From beginning to end she has been nothing but genuine and easy to work with. It is clear how much she loves what she does and how much she loves working with her couples. Her words left us happy crying, laughing, feeling, and being in the moment. When we asked her to make a couple corrections/suggestions she had no problem editing and wasn't going to settle until the final product was perfect. Multiple guests at the wedding came up to us after the ceremony and commented on how her words were so beautiful and well worded.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
