Just me

Your ceremony is more than a ho-hum prelude to a rocking party---it should be joyous (or hilarious!) telling of your story, a love story that gives your guests a reason to celebrate! It should be a well-thought out reflection of your values, what love and marriage mean to you. I am thoughtful, warm, intentional, and genuine in my approach---I see my role as a friendly guide to help you figure out what your options are, shower you with resources, and help you navigate the sometimes tricky waters surrounding weddings. Eight parents and step-parents to juggle? children? dogs? religious differences? Don't face it alone. I'll walk you through the creation process, tell your story, and perform you ceremony with warmth and joy! Weddings of any size welcome!

Simply Amazing

Katrina was absolutely fantastic. She made our ceremony so personal and beautiful. We contacted her 2 weeks prior to our "elopement" during the pandemic and she sprung into action creating a heartfelt ceremony personalized to us. She gave us great options to chose from and made sure we were comfortable with everything. Thank you!

Katrina made our special day even more special!

After reading so many glowing reviews and having a great initial video call, we knew Katrina was the right officiant for us- and she absolutely exceeded our expectations. She met with us over coffee, took the time to get to know our story, and impressively customized our ceremony right then and there. Several guests told us it was the best ceremony they'd ever heard! Katrina is professional, thoughtful, and incredibly talented. We highly recommend her to anyone looking for a personal, heartfelt ceremony. Thank you, Katrina, for making our day unforgettable!

Beautiful Wedding Ceremony

Katrina Baecht was the perfect officiant for our wedding ceremony! She worked with us to ensure it was exactly the kind of ceremony we wanted. Whether you want a lot of help putting the vows together or just a little, Katrina is flexible in her approach. We also appreciated that she cared about our ceremony and was willing to get to know us as little or as much as we wanted - again total flexibility. Katrina's follow-up and communication gave us confidence that our ceremony was going to be nice. On site, Katrina was warm and professional. Highly recommend!

Well Spoken (From Our) Heart!

Katrina will always have our recommendation to be an officiant for weddings, memorials, and other life events. Katrina is clearly well-versed in ceremonies. Her approach to ceremony creation is easy, informative, detail-oriented, and welcomes any input so it is personal to you. For our wedding, this resulted in a touching ceremony that was truly a reflection of us as a couple for our wedding guests to experience. An added bonus is that Katrina is genuinely kind and a joy to work with. We cannot thank her enough for making our wedding day so special.

Personal, Professional, and Truly Supportive Officiant Experience

If you’re looking for a professional wedding officiant, we highly recommend Katrina! She is very friendly and gave us excellent guidance, as we had no clue on what sort of outline we wanted for the ceremony. Once we decided to book her, we met up at a coffee shop to get to know each other better, and she wrote us a lovely ceremony script! Katrina will really take the time to curate something personal and since she is a professional you’ll be in good hands on the day of! We even had a mishap with our DJ not providing a PA system for the ceremony and she was able to carry on and project the script well.The materials and advice she provided were so helpful for us to figure out our vows, and other materials to include in the ceremony script.

Perfect Wedding Ceremony

Katrina gave my wife and me the absolute best wedding ceremony we could've asked for. She was amazing to work with and did such a great job telling our story. It was our favorite part of our whole wedding experience by far. She spent time with us beforehand learning about our relationship and figuring out what we mean to each other, which was a ton of fun. She was open throughout the whole process to how we wanted the ceremony to go, and gave us a lot of options and guidance on things like readings, vows, etc. We were able to take an active role in how it all played out. And on the day of she truly made the ceremony unforgettable. We were so impressed and happy with everything and received a ton of compliments on how great our ceremony was. I would recommend Katrina to anyone and everyone looking for a beautiful and unique wedding ceremony.

Amazing officiant

We are so grateful we had Katrina officiate for us! We traveled for our wedding and in the chaos of everything we realized we had forgotten our wedding license at home - Katrina was incredibly understanding and went out of her way to help us sort everything out! She was very professional and accommodating and amazing at communicating throughout the whole process. We couldn't have asked for a better person to guide us through such an important moment in our lives. Highly recommend!
