About

Weddings By Kathleen has moved and is performing weddings in and around Connecticut.

Welcome! It is my pleasure and privilege to create beautiful, personalized wedding ceremonies for couples ready for a life-long loving commitment. You will discover I'm passionate about you feeling comfortable as we design your ceremony together. During our initial consultation, I listen and learn what’s important to each of you. Then using your vision and values, as well as nearly two decades of experience, a unique ceremony is scripted to reflect you as a couple.

When wedding day draws nearer, I offer a detailed rehearsal plan, either virtually or in-person, so that you are confident in the ceremony flow and delivery. Throughout the process I share progress, tips and welcome questions. You will find me to be flexible, caring, and committed to making this an easy and enjoyable process.

Helped us make the magic happen ☺️

Kathleen was excellent to work with. She helped guide us just enough so that we were able to make our special day ... special. She made sure we covered all the bases, put our own personal touch on the ceremony, and made it all very easy for everyone.

Wonderful Officiant!

Kathleen was a fantastic officiant! She was efficient, organized, and made sure the ceremony went smoothly from start to finish. Everything was thoughtfully written in advance, which took a lot of stress off our shoulders. Highly recommend working with Kathleen!

Perfect Choice

Kathleen was the perfect choice for us! She was very patient with all our questions and our indecision on everything from vows to ceremony site, and was even able to recommend a beautiful site for our very simple ceremony. This was a late life wedding for two people who have been married previously and she understood what we were looking for vs younger people doing their first big ceremony. A pleasure to work with in every way!

We would highly recommend working with Kathleen!

Kathleen was wonderful to work with. She is so attentive and organized and also a lovely person who made us feel at ease (especially for two people who don’t love to speak in front of crowds). When we first started wedding planning admittedly we were focused on so many aspects other than the ceremony, but once we began working with Kathleen she helped us make the ceremony so personalized and special to us. It ended up being our favorite part of the day and we will cherish those moments forever. We would highly recommend working with Kathleen! Thank you so much, Kathleen!

Highly Recommend!!

Kathleen could not have been a more perfect person to officiate our wedding just a couple of weekends ago. From the beginning, Kathleen spoke to us and we really felt connected to hear ideas and thoughts about love. Kathleen's communication is timely and she is very reliable. Kathleen is very open to feedback and truly wants the best for her couples - we felt seen, heard and taken care of. We knew that our ceremony would be extra special with Kathleen, and we were so right! Can't recommend her enough - our ceremony, was elegant and beautiful, as anyone could wish! :) Thank you Kathleen!

Simply amazing

You can tell that the years of experience that Kathleen has, pays off. She was able to help us create the perfect vows and incorporated our ideas for our ceremony beautifully. She ran with the ideas during our consult and was able to send over our vows after very few revisions. She absolutely captured our vision with what seemed to be very little effort. I highly recommend Kathleen to any couple looking to customize their vows for a truly unique ceremony.

A beautiful and personalized ceremony

Kathleen was the second officiant we talked with and we knew right after speaking with her (via zoom) that she was the right fit. She listened to what we were hoping for our ceremony and then crafted something that felt like us, asking for our input along the way. We felt like partners in the process and her warm and friendly demeanor make her so easy to work with. My one regret is not getting to spend more time with her in person! (We have a toddler who was needing a little extra attention when she arrived and then we were whisked away for photos right after the ceremony). I highly recommend Kathleen - you won't be disappointed!

Kathleen brought our dream ceremony to life!

Kathleen officiated our wedding on 10/15/21 and we cannot say enough good things about her! She guided us through the process with her kindness and warmth, and helped us build a touching, personalized ceremony. She truly felt like a friend throughout the process - and many guests commented on how touching our ceremony was. We could not be happier. Highly recommend Kathleen!
