The perfect day!

We got so many compliments from our guests on how amazing a job Kayelily did for our ceremony! And on our side it was even better, since she had the resources and expertise to make what could have been a stressful process a total breeze. First, she provided us with several templates, which allowed us to spark ideas and pick and choose the ceremony that would make our day special. She then seamlessly weaved together our stories into a beautiful narrative, which helped set the stage for the whole evening. Finally, her 'secret paragraphs' based on our stories moved my wife and I to tears. We couldn't have been happier to have Kayelily make our life together official!

An amazing guide for your special day!

Reverend Kayelily provided us with such a heartfelt experience! Her guidance through this process was incredible and she made it her top priority to fully customize every detail of our ceremony. We felt the upmost support in her communication style and we loved every personal touch she recommended. She was an amazing guide through it all and came prepared with a full plan that we were able to alter to our specific wants and needs. In terms of pricing, we felt her rate was very reasonable, especially when we considered all of the special touches she added to the ceremony, such as the “Love Notes” section. Thanks to her, our ceremony felt deeply personal and true to our unique couple style. Our time working with her was just so special and our wish is that every couple gets to experience her light on their wedding day!

We love Kayelily!

We could not have been happier with Kayelily as our wedding officiant! From the very beginning, she was kind, attentive, and an absolute pleasure to work with. We were thrilled to learn she came highly recommended by our venue, Highgrove Estate — and even more delighted to realize she had already officiated my sister’s wedding at The Bradford back in December 2018. It felt like such a perfect full-circle moment!

Kayelily crafted a ceremony that truly reflected us as a couple. It was light-hearted, personal, and full of humor, all while beautifully telling our love story. The ceremony flowed seamlessly and came in under 30 minutes, which our guests absolutely appreciated. We received countless compliments about how unique and heartfelt it was — many even said it was the best ceremony they had ever attended!

If you're looking for an officiant who brings warmth, professionalism, and a personal touch, we cannot recommend Kayelily enough. She made our day truly unforgettable.

Kayelily is an Amazing Officiant!

Kayelily is an amazing officiant - true professional from beginning to end! She made sure that our ceremony was well-structured, personal, and very “us”. She went above and beyond in her officiant duties coming prepared with a handkerchief during the ceremony. We had a brief mishap with the audio and she handled the situation with ease! We can’t recommend Kayelily enough and we are so grateful she was recommended to us for our big life moment! Cheers!

The Perfect Wedding

Reverend Kayelily is the absolute best. Couldn't have asked for a better ceremony, wedding and day. Everything seemed to have gone perfectly for us and that has to do in part to Reverend Kayelily. She was thorough, well-prepared, knowledgeable and most importantly she made it easy and fun. I was a bundle of nerves going into the wedding, but she had everything planned down to a T. The worst thing, having to stand in front of a crowd but when everything else goes so smoothly, in hindsight that doesn't seem too bad. Almost every one of our friends commented on our beautiful wedding and ceremony. Thank you Reverend Kayelily for making our dreams come true.

Amazing Officiant and Ceremony

Kayelily officiated our wedding on 5-24-25, and she was the perfect person to do so! We knew from our initial meeting that she was who we wanted telling our story. She was so wonderful and easy to work with, and helped us curate the perfect ceremony for us, including helping us with creating a coffee unity ceremony. She was incredibly knowledgeable and helped us feel at great ease throughout the entire process. We have received so many compliments of her from our guests. We cannot recommend her enough!

I absolutely love to work with Reverend Kayelily! She is fun and light hearted which allows my clients to relax and enjoy their day. Reverend Kayelily is such a professional and does a wonderful job officiating ceremonies at other venues as well as small weddings in her personal garden. Highly Recommend!!!

JD Silverthorne JD Silverthorne Wedding DJs

I've had the pleasure of working with Kayelilly on several occasions and she is by far one of the most professional, sweetest people I've come across in my time in this industry. She's one of the few(if not only) ministers that offers her own lapel mic, which if you've ever planned a wedding before, you'll know just how valuable that is. She's as much of an asset to have on your wedding day as she is as a friend while planning your wedding. Every couple I've worked with that's worked with her RAVES about her! You're in for a treat!
