About this vendor

Meet Revs. Kathy and James Love — Let's Make Your Wedding YOURS!

Hi! I'm Rev. Kathy Love, and my husband, James, and I have been helping couples say “I do” for more than 26 years! I'm an interfaith minister, ordained in 2003, and together we've officiated over 1,000 weddings. And trust me, we have some stories to tell!

We've officiated ceremonies at event centers, hotels, restaurants, parks, wineries, clubhouses, private homes, and even a golf course. We've learned that a meaningful wedding doesn't depend on a fancy venue. It's about two people choosing each other and the people, places, and moments that make their love story unique.

Your ceremony, your way! We offer four different basic ceremony styles to choose from, including religious, interfaith, and civil ceremonies, with options to help make your ceremony truly your own. We have additional readings to choose from, and if you'd like to write your own vows, include a special reading, or add a meaningful moment that reflects your relationship, we'd love to help you make it happen.

We'll listen to what matters to you, help you feel comfortable, and make sure you know what to expect. Whether you're dreaming of a heartfelt, traditional ceremony, something lighthearted and fun, an intimate gathering, or a celebration that's uniquely your own, we want to help make it happen. We believe your ceremony should reflect your love, your personalities, and the life you're beginning together.

After all these years, we still love what we do. Every couple has a story, and we would love to help you tell yours.

Let's make some wedding memories! Give us a call. We'd love to help you create a ceremony you'll remember with a smile for years to come.

Rev Kathy was amazing, she was such a good sport about our wedding! with the date changing three times after we already booked her, she never even got flustered or aggravated. She just rolled with the punches and kept a smile on her face the whole time. Her prices are reasonable, and her chapel is beautiful. Fair warning, though, the chapel is really small, and I wouldn't recommend having your wedding at her location unless you have 10 or fewer guests, and a small wedding party of just the two of you and 1 or 2 witnesses. It is a beautiful location, though. Kathy came to our home with only 1 weeks notice and performed our ceremony in our backyard, in the humid 93 degree F temperature with mosquitoes biting and flies buzzing, and she didn't even seem perturbed. She was even laughing about the discomfort. Kathy was such a friendly, happy and amazing person. I love her to death and I hope that she is still in business when my daughters get married!
