    Best decision you'll ever make!

    To say that Katherine was the best decision we made in the selection of all of our vendors would be an understatement. From the moment we did our first meeting to our last; Katherine's professionalism, enthusiasm, guidance, and support were unparalleled. As a bride that was planning from out of state and experienced many challenges when it came to working with personalities of families and vendors alike, Katherine was an open ear to lean on and whom provided assistance in areas that went above and beyond the call of duty. When it came to actually writing our ceremony, she provided examples and took our thoughts so seriously that by the time we got to our final draft, it felt as if Katherine had known us for the entirety of our relationship. That sentiment was carried over by our guests as everyone commented on how perfectly crafted our ceremony was. If I could give 100 stars to Katherine, I would. I could not imagine my day without her!

    Amazing & Unforgettable

    Katherine did an amazing job for my sisters wedding. She included so many personal details about the bride and groom, and we were all very moved - tissues were needed! Several guests asked us if she was a friend of the family and gave many compliments on her work. We appreciate and recommend Katherine.

    Beautiful ceremony

    We had the absolute pleasure of having Katherine as our officiant. From our first meeting, it was obvious how dedicated and thoughtful Katherine is in preparing a very personalized ceremony. Katherine was so helpful and supportive in guiding us through the process and made it very simple and stress free. The ceremony was absolutely perfect. If you didn’t know, you would have thought she knew us forever. It was personal, thoughtful, sincere, and beautiful. We would highly recommend Katherine, she truly made our ceremony special and something we will never forget.

    Katherine Hunter Celebrant's reply:

    Lisa! It was an absolute pleasure for me as well! The two of you kept me laughing, and were simply a delight to work with. I'm so pleased that my service was everything you hoped it would be, and that your ceremony was unforgettable. xoxo -K

    Katherine is one of the best vendors period!

    I’ve been a wedding photographer for 11+ years and I do not know of an officiant who works harder or prepares more for her clients than Katherine! She’s the best, always very easy to work with and that delivery during the ceremony is always 🔥.

    Ceremony Officiating

    Katherine stepped In and took care of everything regarding the ceremony.
    She was well prepared and put in the work to get to know us. She has a library of resources for readings and so which made it easy for us to choose from.
    Very helpful, organized and informative.

    Would absolutely recommend Katherine!

    Katherine did such a wonderful job performing our wedding! From our first encounter with her to the very last detail, she was amazing. Our first meeting was a Zoom meeting. Katherine wanted to get to know us as a couple, asked how we met, etc. and saw how we interacted with one another. We knew from that moment that we would hire her to perform our ceremony. She sent us some questions about ourselves and some examples of verses and poems that we could include in our ceremony. She is so well organized, it just makes everything so easy. Once we made our selections, we sent it back to her and she put together the final ceremony. It was beautiful! At the wedding she had it bound in a little booklet as a keepsake. I would absolutely recommend Katherine to officiate your wedding, she’s just wonderful!

    Katherine Hunter Celebrant's reply:

    Libby! Thank you so much for sharing your experience with me as your Celebrant. Your day was full of love and also a wonderful bit of adventure, which I'll always remember. I'm simply delighted that our paths crossed and that I was lucky enough to stand with both of you on your "little" big day! Best wishes for your continued happiness!

    Exceptional

    Our wedding coordinator referred us to Katherine Hunter to officiate our ceremony. My fiancé and I were convinced Katherine was the right person to preside over our wedding after our introductory meeting with her. She was thoughtful and thorough, well-spoken and knowledgeable. She made us feel comfortable - giving us one less thing to worry about. Leading up to the wedding, Katherine spent a lot of time getting to know us. This allowed her to tell “our story” to our guests. In addition, during our pre-wedding consultations, Katherine shared some invaluable tips to help make sure our wedding day was perfect. She helped us manage our nerves immediately before the ceremony. After the wedding, we received many compliments regarding the ceremony. She did a phenomenal job. We couldn’t be happier!

    Our Beautiful Ceremony

    My husband and I are not religious, and we did not want religion to play a part in our wedding. We both, however, understand the importance of ritual, and hold certain things sacred: Our loved ones, nature, life, and each other. We are so glad we chose Katherine to officiate our wedding. When we first met with Katherine, she was clear about her intentions and what to expect, and took time to get to know us both. We truly felt like she understood what was important to us, and what we love about each other.

    She built a ceremony that was full of love, truly represented our sensibilities, and celebrated the people who are important to us, and each other. We are still glowing from our perfect wedding day, and can’t thank Katherine enough!

    Perfection

    My wife and I got married in September, we hired Katherine to be our officiant. Saying she is thorough is an understatement, from our initial zoom meeting, to the extensive questionnaire she asked us to fill out, to the ceremony cue sheet she made up, I can go on. Our event coordinator at the venue was taken back by the info packet Katherine had sent over for our rehearsal, making things very easy at the rehearsal. Katherine gives you the option of having her there for the rehearsal or not. The ceremony went great, Katherine is very well spoken. Her attention to detail took our stress away. If you go with her, definitely follow her suggestions of where to stand, how to put the rings on for better pictures, how to kiss for 5 seconds. Her prices are a bit higher than other people we reached out to but I think you get what you pay for sometimes. We could have spent half the money for someone to say “do you”. “do you” which is what we initially wanted but Katherine developed a script that was spot on for what we wanted. She will customize what she does to anything you want your ceremony to be. We are both very pleased that we hired Katherine for our wedding.

    Absolutely amazing wedding officiant!

    Katherine was wonderful to work with. She created the most beautiful ceremony for us by working with us and getting to know us. She personalized every detail with our help, and it was perfect. I would suggest her to anyone looking for a wedding officiant!

    Katherine is the best!

    Katherine is simply amazing. First of all, if you're debating whether to hire an officiant instead of just using a government official, I can tell you it was well worth the money. I'm not necessarily a huge fan of attending weddings myself, partially because a lot of the times I feel like the ceremony is not super personal to the couple. I wanted to eliminate the possibility of being bored during the ceremony at my own wedding (haha) so I thought hiring an officiant would allow us to put more of our own personality into the ceremony. Katherine did that and SO much more! She went above and beyond our expectations. She really took the time to get to know us, and she was patient and welcoming at every single one of our meetings with her. She was quite literally the BEST vendor out of ALL the vendors we hired for the wedding! I could go on and on listing great things about working with her but if I had to choose a couple to highlight in this review it would be her compassion and her responsiveness! You would think when it comes to wedding vendors "of course they'll be decent about responding to me because I'm a paying customer and I haven't been a jerk to them, I'm just asking them basic questions." Unfortunately I found through the process that that doesn't always turn out to be the case! With Katherine, I NEVER had to worry about that, she always answered any questions we had almost instantly. Even if we were just sending something that she requested, she was so considerate and would always confirm that she received it. You wouldn't believe how much these "little" things really do make a difference when you're already trying to keep track of a hundred other things during wedding planning! Moreover, she showed us such compassion for the personal and logistical challenges we were facing throughout the wedding process. Even when there wasn't anything she could really do about our issues, she offered to help in any way she could. Finally, I LOVED the final product of what she wrote for our ceremony. She really captured our unique relationship as a couple, our individual personalities, and any revisions we requested from her she welcomed and did a great job of incorporating for us. In summary, if you're debating at all, I would say just do it - hire her! You won't regret it!

    A ceremony that truly felt like us

    Katherine officiated our wedding a week ago and we are so glad we chose her! She was so responsive every step of the way, and I feel like she really made it a point to get to know us. Katherine made sure our personalities and who we are as a couple and individuals was portrayed throughout the ceremony. She spent a lot of time with us, and sent us many versions of the ceremony to make sure everything sounded absolutely perfect! Please consider Katherine if you are getting married around the Lehigh Valley, you will be so glad you did!

    Katherine Hunter Celebrant's reply:

    Thank you so much for your kind words, Courtney. I'm super conscious of the honor of being entrusted with part of your wedding day, given that you're a wedding vendor yourself! It was great working with both of you. Warmest wishes to you and Zach, and may your journey be unceasing!

    Just what we were looking for!

    I can’t say enough good things about our experience in working with Katherine! My husband and I were looking to have a less traditional and more personalized ceremony for our wedding…. We weren’t exactly sure what we were looking for but after meeting with Katherine we knew we found the person to bring our vision to reality! Katherine was an absolute pleasure to work with… she kept us on track, checked in frequently to see if she could do anything to help us and she knew exactly what we were looking for even when we couldn’t verbalize it ourselves. Katherine gave us the most perfect and beautiful ceremony and we could not be more grateful!

    Wedding celebrant

    Katherine was there every step of the way for our wedding ceremony. She was there to answer any questions ( before and after the wedding). We were able to have her at the physical rehearsal so we could run through the ceremony a few times which was very helpful for me as the bride as well as the bridal party. Katherine was able to create a fantastic personalized ceremony from meeting us virtually several times from when we secured our date up to the wedding date. Our ceremony was everything we imagined it could be- several wedding guests told me it was the most heart-felt ceremony they have ever attended.

    Katherine is the BEST!

    It took only one meeting with Katherine for my wife and I to be sure we wanted to work with her. She helped us figure out so many things, and we felt she would create a ceremony around what we wanted. She more than did that! With patience, professionalism and understanding, she took the stress out of our planning process. She made a real effort to learn about us and wrote a nonreligious ceremony that held meaning for us. Our guests and family are still reaching out to us to talk about how blow away they were by the ceremony. All in all Katherine went above and beyond to make our wedding day an unforgettable one. We can't recommend her highly enough. Thank you Katherine.

    Kind, Thoughtful, Talented - Katherine Hunter

    Katherine Hunter designed and expertly delivered the wedding ceremony of our dreams. She did this with patience, warmth, and confidence. Katherine met with us regularly over Zoom through the pandemic and was readily available and willing to answer any and all of our questions. She provided invaluable advice about our ceremony program as well as our walk-through rehearsal at the venue (which proved to be critical). Many of our guests approached us after the ceremony to compliment Katherine's professionalism and poise and to share how impressed they were with each unique segment of the program. Most notably, our guests were thrilled by the handfasting ritual that we included at Katherine's recommendation. From start to finish, all of the words and actions of our ceremony held weight and spoke specifically to my now-husband and I as a couple. You can absolutely trust in Katherine to create a personal, heartening celebration for your occasion.

    Katherine Hunter Celebrant's reply:

    Thanks so much for your kindness, Becca! It was absolutely lovely collaborating with the two of you. May the love and happiness of your wedding day be with you always!

    Don't worry, be present at your wedding!

    With Katherine as our officiant, we felt at ease with the ceremony process. She expertly guided us from not knowing what we wanted out of our ceremony, to crafting and delivering a ceremony that felt true to us in content and tone. Katherine offered clear guidance and supported us as we figured out what we wanted. When we weren't sure, she offered tasteful suggestions. We felt very supported by Katherine, who was patient and responsive throughout the whole process. When I read the first draft of the ceremony, I cried tears of joy, relief, and resonance for what Katherine so beautifully captured for us. We appreciated Katherine's willingness to lead a very thorough rehearsal for us the day before the wedding. Katherine blew us and our guests away with her presentation--everyone told us how beautiful and moving it was for them. It was important to us that we share an announcement about my father's terminal illness, and Katherine stepped up and held a powerful container for this special circumstance. Working with Katherine allowed us not to worry and instead focus on being entirely present for our wedding day! Hire her, you won't be disappointed.

    Perfect from start to finish

    Katherine was amazing from the first zoom meeting we had with her. We instantly knew that we wanted her to officiate our marriage. She’s very thorough, and her ceremonies are formed around every detail you provide her from the questionnaires she sends her couples to fill out. We wanted something very personal for our ceremony and she delivered just that. She sends drafts often towards your wedding date to make everything is perfect. We’ve had so many guests, and non guests who’ve seen our wedding video, comment on how beautiful our ceremony was, and that’s all thanks to Katherine. If you’re looking for something to fit your style, funny, serious, a mix of both, and yet very personal, Katherine will give you just that. I will recommend her to every couple I know that is planning a wedding!

    Best decision we made!

    There aren't enough words to express how happy we are that we worked with Katherine Hunter as our wedding officiant. From the first meeting we had with her, we loved her warmth, her positive energy, and the way she really listened to what we said. Throughout the months leading up to our wedding, she was a joy to work with. She kept us on track (or gently got us back on track when we were getting behind), created an amazing personal ceremony by graciously accepting repeated edit requests, and helped by coaching us with many details we hadn't thought through. She was so calm and supportive on our wedding day, and very well spoken in her presentation. Our friends and families loved the ceremony and felt the vibe was totally "us." We laughed and cried and could not be happier that she was our wedding officiant. We would absolutely work with her again if we had the choice to make today. Hire Katherine for your wedding!

    Katherine Hunter made our wedding truly special!!!

    When we first met Katherine we were blown away by her professionalism and kindness. She made us feel relaxed about the part of our wedding that was causing us the most stress: our ceremony. Katherine interviewed us and asked us questions and drew ideas out of us that we couldn't have thought of on our own. She really wanted to know what our story was! Within just a few days, she had a draft for our review. She wanted our input, but there was nothing we could add or critique. The ceremony she wrote and eventually presented to our large audience was absolutely perfect. She's a natural storyteller and orator. My wife and I felt seen and understood and special. How could she capture us so seamlessly? It was really amazing and so many of our guests couldn't stop talking about it. The way Katherine listened to us and the way she kept us in the loop throughout the entire process put us at ease. And we know, we could not have gotten through the many stresses that come with a wedding without a rock solid celebrant like Katherine Hunter. She was really in our corner! We are eternally grateful to her and would highly recommend her again and again.

    Ten out of ten would recommend Katherine!

    Katherine Hunter did a fantastic job officiating our wedding, and she kept us well-informed and on track throughout the writing process. Over the course of the year leading up to our wedding, she really took the time to get to know us as a couple through a handful of questionnaires and video calls. The result was a super thoughtful and personalized ceremony for our wedding day. Ten out of ten would recommend Katherine!

    Beyond perfect

    Katherine made both my wife and I feel so comfortable throughout the entire process. She also helped to calm all the nervous jitters and made sure we knew exactly what was happening and when. She really took the time to get to know us on a deep personal level and that made for an amazing ceremony. Our guests couldnt stop telling us how beautiful it was written and how it truly represented who we are as a couple. Again it was beyond perfect and I would recommend Katherine 100% to anyone!

    Fantastic Personal Ceremony

    Our initial meeting with Katherine was extremely helpful and informative. She was prepared and willing to answer all of our questions and calm our concerns. We wanted a fully personalized ceremony that highlighted our love story and we absolutely got it. Katherine took the time to ask us individualized questions that captured who we are as people and what the essence of our relationship is. All of our guests not only made a point to tell us what a beautiful job they felt Katherine did, but also told us how perfectly she captured our relationship. When we first read our ceremony we laughed, we cried, and we felt relieved that the person we were trusting with this huge moment delivered. Katherine was warm and professional throughout the entire process, especially so during the ceremony. We wanted our ceremony to be all about the gravity of our commitment to each other and not try to go for cheap laughs. We also wanted everyone present to feel the love that we feel for one another. Katherine, we cannot stress this enough, encapsulated everything we could have ever dreamt of for our ceremony and we feel eternally grateful for that.
