    Kat is one of the most beautiful souls we have ever met

    We booked Kat as our officiant for our March 1, 2024 wedding in Key Largo. I can officially say that Kat is one of the most beautiful souls I have ever met. She took the time to learn about us as a couple, and it is evident that she cares deeply about her couples and invests a lot of time into every single one. Our ceremony was the most beautiful, genuine, and authentic thanks to her! She worked so well with our doggies too, and included such beautiful personal touches. Our guests absolutely loved her (almost as much as we do) and a few asked to book her for vow renewals. I’m very excited to say that we will be seeing Kat again in the future! We cannot recommend Kat enough. Book Kat! You will absolutely not regret it!

    Book Kat!!!

    Kat is amazing!!! I felt like I had known her forever. She did extensive work getting to know us as a couple and really captured our essence in our ceremony. We had such a great time, lots of laughs! Kat will be a lasting memory from our big day!

    Ceremonies by Kat's reply:

    Kelsey, as an officiant a review like yours means the world to me. So truly happy you felt the close bond with me as you and Cody deserved the most personal and memorable service. And we sure had fun too.
    Sending love and light,
    Kat

    Caring and Compassionate

    From the very first time we spoke, we knew Kat would be our officiant. She is the most caring, compassionate, energetic and vibrant person and we immediately felt comfortable with her. She goes the extra mile to get to know you and works closely with you to personalize your ceremony. We truly had the most amazing time crafting the perfect words for the big day (she had such a great selection of a variety of different types of ceremonies), and we could feel her love and light shining on us throughout the ceremony and reception. Organized, punctual, but above all, an amazingly brilliant officiant and friend.

    Ceremonies by Kat's reply:

    Katy & Ian,
    We truly became friends during the planning process including our great breakfast meeting and lots of chats and social media sharing. You both took great care and thought in collaborating on the ceremony and I couldn't have been happier to see and read how pleased you were. And of course to be invited to celebrate with you and your guests.
    Once again, I am humbled to have officiated for two people have proudly served their country AND brought home a precious doggie to a better life!
    Thank you for this beautiful review,
    With joy & gratitude,
    Kat

    Wonderful Officiant!

    Our wedding coordinator introduced to Kat Newman and she's such an amazing lady! We were able to pick and choose ever aspect of our ceremony so it was tailored for us! It was such a special and touching wedding ceremony! My mother who is a staunch Catholic woman and was disappointed we were not going to be married in a church by a priest was so impressed by Kat. My mom said she never heard a priest give such a meaningful and love-infused ceremony the way Kat did. If you're looking for an officiant, look no further!

    Diorio Wedding 4/29

    Annie DeRomo officiated our wedding ceremony at Amara Cay Resort on April 29th. Kat & Annie were so easy to work with during the planning process & everything went great during our ceremony. I would highly recommend working with Ceremonies by Kat! Thank you both so much for the awesome experience! :)

    Magical Officiant!

    Three words…Kat is fabulous!!! When we first spoke it was like talking to a long time friend. She was so knowledgeable and informative and captured our story so beautifully. Kat provided so much guidance and advice and made it effortless for the ceremony to come together. The most important part of our special day was just perfect.

    We can’t wait for the video. Kat included just the right mix of fun, humor, memories, tributes and love. We were lucky enough to have her stay for our reception and loved seeing her out on the dance floor. Kat will alway be special to us for being such an important part of this day and we look forward to watching the photos and videos from her future weddings!

    You can not go wrong with selecting Kat to officiate your wedding. She was amazing.

    Look No Further!

    If you are looking for the perfect officiant, look no further! Our first conversation with Kat put us at ease and it was smooth sailing from there! She respected all of our requests and provided great input where needed. Her ceremony was very enjoyable and we just loved her energy! She also promptly
    mailed our marriage license after the ceremony and stayed in contact with us throughout the entire process. I highly recommend! Thank you, Kat!

    They made our day!

    Our officiant was provided in our wedding package with our venue. They were so easy and pleasant to get along with. Jill really took the time to get to know my now husband and I and built a really good relationship with us. Her communication was great!

    Perfect in every way!

    We can't thank Kat enough for being a part of our special day! Having never met her in person until the day of, we trusted her and never worried that the ceremony would be anything less than it was! She listened to our "story" and really listened to the vision we had. Her delivery was fun; exactly as we had requested.

    Many thanks Kat!

    An amazing experience!

    We had the absolute pleasure of having Kat do the blessing of our son and it is a memory we will forever cherish. We had no idea where to start and Kat was just so patient and really guided us. The end result was absolutely touching, intimate and everything we wanted for our son. Kat speaks from the heart and you can feel the sincerity in her words. When choosing someone to lead something so personal such as a blessing or ceremony, you want to have someone on your corner who has authentic love for the craft and her clients, Kat is everything and more. Thank you Kat for being part of such a magical day.

    Kat made a difficult process a breeze!

    Kat is incredible. What could have been a painful process (writing your vows) was smooth and easy. She provided numerous examples for us to use as inspiration and had us fill out a questionnaire to make sure she really got to know us as a couple before the big day. I felt like she provided the exact perfect amount of guidance and support, while also relieving some of the pressure we felt. Plus, she became instant friends with both our moms, and they still sing her praises!

    Amazing officiant

    Kat was a wonderful officiant. She truly took the time to make our ceremony perfect for us and even went out of her way to get to know us. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone who needs an officiant!

    How would I describe Kat?

    What words can I use to describe Kat? Kind, attentive, warm, and absolutely lovely. That's a good start. Ours was a second marriage, and we are a bit older, so our expectations were different. Kat gave us unique ideas, and we used them all. She helped us build a beautiful and unique ceremony. Incorporating love and our differing spirituality. And then, on the day of, she arrived and was as fabulous in-person, as she was during our earlier zoom meetings. (Oh ya, we were also living half of a country away from our destination wedding location.) So now how can I describe Kat? She was absolutely perfect.

    Wonderful!!

    I was recommended to Kat by my DJ, I contacted her one month before my wedding date. She was unavailable for our date but she had Bobbie Stutts available for us.

    Bobbie was wonderful, she was very communicative, positive, friendly & easy to talk to. She got the process rolling quickly for us as we only had one month to get everything done. When hiring Bobbie I didn't plan to get much involved in what they do as officiant's. First thing was filling out a bunch of question which was a little intimidating but once my husband and I got into it, it was actually fun. That was the moment I decided I was all in and really wanted to customize our ceremony. Bobbie worked up a bunch of script for us and information for us to look at and go over. She also let me have the wheel and write up a lot of my own things for her to say. Which I LOVED so much because it made our ceremony very special to us!

    Our wedding day, Bobbie was early, she came straight to me as I was getting ready. She gave me a copy of our ceremony as a keep sake & gathered our vow books. I have many pictures of Bobbie talking with everyone through the time before our ceremony. She was so very kind & just wonderful!

    Thank you so much Bobbie Stutts for a very special ceremony ❤️

    Best day of our life in Islamorada

    Everything from start to finish was great. We worked with Bobbie, who kept a great line of communication and worked with us to get the perfect ceremony down. It was a pleasure working and meeting Bobbie! Highly recommend

    Officially the best officiant!!!

    From the minute I met Kat, I knew she was THE person cut out for making our wedding ceremony the ceremony we wanted! She was fun, down to earth, easy going, spunky - everything we wanted and more! She’s like the crazy NY aunt that everyone loves and that loves everyone - she kept our ceremony easy and light hearted and really went with the flow of making it all flow on our special day! We wanted it to be fun, amusing, catchy and unique and she made it all of that and then some!

    Truly made our Ceremony Unique!

    We didnt want a traditional wedding ceremony. We had a destination wedding and traveled to our paradise because it was more our style. Kat did an excellent job at making our ceremony unique to us! She gave us alternative options to the more traditional sections that we weren't too thrilled about and made the whole ceremony flow and fit us perfectly! She’s worth every penny! Cant say enough great things about her! Hire her, you wont regret it!

    Ceremonies by Kat's reply:

    Hello Q&A
    You were destined to be married with those monograms! What a wonderful review. I was thrilled that you let me have fun with your ceremony and that you were both vested in the thoughts, feelings and words. I look forward to seeing how your blended glass creation comes out as well as Amanda and Seth's photos/video. Please don't be strangers and thank you for the time to share these meaningful thoughts. Happy hugs, K.

    Truly a professional!

    It says a lot about a business when you look at how they handle it when things fall apart. That was our experience with Kat (and company). We were planning for a romantic 20th anniversary vow renewal on the beach when Covid struck. We weren't able to travel - I was devastated. Kat was very kind and super understanding. Even though it was a difficult time for all, we reached a very reasonable agreement on a refund, which she kindly provided. You can trust this one!

    Beautiful ceremony

    I highly recommend Kat for your ceremony. She was amazing to work with. We are from out of state so we talked a few times on the phone and emailed back and forth. She created a beautiful, personalized ceremony for us. Thank you so much Kat for making our day so special.

    Perfect Officiant

    Kat made our day so wonderful. She took a few calls with us to get to know our personality and really incorporated it into our ceremony, like she knew us for years! We had a short and sweet ceremony, but included all the traditional wedding parts, including adding parts for our newly blended family. Could not have asked for a better person to marry us!
