Definitely Recommend!

We couldn’t have asked for a better wedding officiant! Rachel made our ceremony truly special with her warmth, professionalism, and heartfelt delivery. She took the time to understand our story and crafted a personalized ceremony that perfectly captured our love and values. Her calm presence and seamless coordination kept everything running smoothly, allowing us to focus on the moment. She also helped run our rehearsal which made the day run so smoothly. We received so many compliments from guests about how meaningful and engaging the ceremony was. Highly recommend Koru Ceremony, and specifically Rachel, for anyone looking for a memorable and heartfelt wedding experience!

Una Delivered

My wife and I worked with Una to have our wedding officiated. It was wonderful. We needed some things a little bit different as we are a mixed-culture couple and Una made this incredibly easy to fit into the ceremony.

We were initially looking for an officiant that was traditionally trained and after learning about Una and here church and background we knew it was a great fit.

She understood exactly what we were looking for and delivered.

Hockey Love Story

Brad was an absolutely exceptional as our wedding officiant. From the very beginning he, took the time to get to know our story and brought it to life in the most beautiful and heartfelt way. Who would of thought that a hockey game turning into marriage! Our ceremony was everything we hoped for--meaningful, personal and filled with love and laughter. Brad has a true gift for connecting with people and creating an atmosphere that brings everyone together. His experience alone and his gut created a masterpiece for us! He played such an important role in making our day unforgettable, and we are so grateful for his professionalism, warmth, and attention to detail.

Rachel at Koru ceremony saved our day!

Rachel saved our day! As a type B bride I’m not the most organized person. When I reached out to Koru Ceremony just weeks before my wedding with nothing but the decor planned for the actually ceremony you could say I was certainly stressed! they had me fill out a questionnaire to find an officiant to best suit our needs and fit us as a couple. Rachel took away all my worry by the first meeting. She was thorough and she went through every detail of the process and thought of things I didn’t even know were needed! I got to make a custom ceremony with her and my now husband. I was told use to be a wedding planner and those instincts kicked in when our small wedding group seemed a little lost as I’m very go with the flow and we did not have a rehearsal. She told them exactly what they needed to do. She went with our care free energy and added some structure while also making everything feel light fun and stress free. She is a beautiful public speaker and we are so lucky to have found you Rachel. Thank you for all the advice, well wishes and compliments the day of. You were truly an intricate part in my magical day

Had a great experience, would recommend Rachel / Koru to anyone

My wife and I worked with Rachel from Koru. We could not have asked for a better and more seamless experience. Rachel made prep easy with insightful guidance and was fantastic on the day of the wedding. We would highly recommend Rachel / Koru to anyone looking for an officiant.

A Must Have

Koru did and AMAZING job at putting together our ceremony! Our guests could not stop raving about how personalized and special the ceremony was. It was truly memorable. Deciding on an officiant was one of our tougher decisions for us during wedding planning. We went back and forth on asking a friend vs hiring a vendor. Pat was so personable and bubbly during our first meet, my husband and I knew the second we hung up on the Zoom meeting that we were going to hire her. Pat was so easygoing and responsive to questions/changes we made throughout the process. She was also a large help during our rehearsal and had a ton of great tips for the wedding party. Hiring Koru was one of the best decision we made for our wedding day.

Perfect Officiant for Our Big Day!!!

We had Úna Lucey-Lee as our officiant for our wedding on 05/25/2025. Prior to booking, we filled out some information regarding what we were looking for in an officiant, and Úna was the one that was suggested for us. As soon as we met with her, we knew we wanted to book with her - she was so friendly and engaged in the conversation. We could tell immediately that she would be the right fit - perfect energy level for what we wanted, we related to her on several personal levels and she was very compassionate when we explained certain family issues that we had that may be pertinent to the ceremony.

After our first meeting with her, we filled out all the information in the online portal to determine wording preferences for our vows/ceremony. Then we received the first draft of the ceremony, which included several comments and clarifications from Úna. Any questions we had regarding wording changes were met with enthusiasm and she gave us plenty of helpful feedback. We were so pleased with how the final draft came out.

We had a rehearsal dinner at a local restaurant and Úna attended to help us walk everything through. She helped keep all the members of the wedding party focused during the rehearsal, while being very chill and fun to work with. We had asked her to make a small announcement to remind people to not drink too heavily before the ceremony, and she delivered that announcement very tactfully and kept the mood light.

She arrived to the venue on time to make sure everything was situated for the ceremony, and made sure everything ran smoothly prior to guests arriving. After the ceremony, several different guests approached us to compliment the ceremony and Úna’s role in it specifically. She stuck around for a little bit during our cocktail hour and was very popular with all of the guests who spoke with her.

Overall, Koru was very easy to work with, and we are so incredibly happy that we chose Úna to work with. We would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for an officiant that will enthusiastically help curate the perfect, personalized ceremony.

Thank you Úna!

Perfect Ceremony for Us!

Brad Schnell officiated our wedding at the Tinsmith in Madison, WI on April 26th and did a phenomenal job! Brad took the time to get to know us and our story and created a ceremony that truly reflected us as a couple. We were getting non-stop compliments from our guests about how lovely the ceremony was, and so much of that was due to how he thoughtfully crafted the ceremony and his incredible storytelling skills. Brad was also a huge support for navigating the legal side of the marriage process as well, and saved the day by printing our marriage certificate for us on short notice. We are so grateful that we had Brad leading the way to this exciting new phase of our lives.

Literally Perfect Wedding

Abbie showed up for rehearsal and helped us tremendously. She was organized and helped us run the rehearsal until we were satisfied. She answered all of our questions and made sure we had what we needed for our wedding day.
On our big day she showed up early and checked in with me. She made sure I was doing well and double checked we had all the forms we needed before hand to make everything run smooth. She then when to check in with the DJ and set up. The ceremony was perfect. Alex and I felt extremely comfortable up there with her and knew exactly what to expect. After the ceremony was over she helped us sign our license and congratulated us. We never felt rushed and felt heard the whole time.
Afterwards during the reception I can’t tell you how many compliments we got on the ceremony. All in all we were told it was beautifully written, the perfect length to get the point across, the delivery was spectacular and original. Our guests were also very moved by the ceremony and we were also told it was one of the best weddings they’ve been to this year, a lot of them being to many weddings already this year.

We can’t say how grateful we are that we chose you guys and felt our wedding ceremony exceeded our expectations. Thank you for providing a wonderful service.

Pat is amazing!

Pat was an excellent officiant, and we would recommend her to anybody. Her enthusiasm is infectious, and she is extremely well organized. The latter was especially helpful, as we were organizing the wedding remotely. It truly would not have been possible to have such a beautiful ceremony without her detailed planning and assistance.

Whether you would like a religious or secular ceremony, she had options and ideas for any and all types of weddings. 10/10!

One of a kind, expert officiant who made our ceremony so special!!

Pat Werk made our ceremony special, effortless and uniquely us. From our initial meeting, Pat provided so many helpful resources on planning our ceremony. My husband and I were able to pick and choose elements and edit them so they reflected us. Pat gave us so much confidence during our rehearsal and all meetings leading up to the wedding. She is kind, highly communicative, skilled in project management, and an expert in all aspects of officiating a wedding. And now as newlyweds, we are navigating getting our marriage certificate and changing my last name with ease, all thanks to Pat's incredible care and resources. Thank you so much Pat for being an invaluable team member in making our wedding day the absolute best!

Pat was absolutely incredible to work with. We are still getting compliments from guests about how perfect our ceremony was, and that is all thanks to Koru Ceremony. Pat added so many details specific to our relationship and took the time to get to know us as a couple. We couldn’t have imagined anyone else serving as our officiant. We would recommend Koru Ceremony to anyone!

Beautiful and Preconized Ceremony

Our search to find an officiant for our wedding was not easy. We knew we wanted someone who would bring a special touch to our ceremony and who we felt connected to and understood us as a couple. When I came across Pat’s picture and read her bio, I had a feeling she was what we were looking for.

We had an initial video call with Pat, and she was so warm and welcoming, which drew us in. She provided us with all the tools we needed to create our perfect ceremony. We had plenty of styles, quotes, short readings, ceremony ideas, ring ceremony wording ideas, and vows to read though. We sifted through them all and chose what spoke to us and sent it back and she created the most beautiful ceremony for us.

After our ceremony many of our guests came up to us and said this was one of the best ceremonies they had been a part of because it truly felt personalized to the Bride and Groom. Pat spoke with such care, warmth, and passion.

Pat has all the information you'd ever need on obtaining your marriage license, name change, and all the tips for everything in between. You can really tell she loves her job and is so invested in the couples she works with.

Helped Remove All Our Concerns

When we looked for an officiant for our wedding, we wanted a professional who had experience so things would go smoothly, we wanted a little bit of our own personality in the ceremony, and we wanted to make sure our vows weren't something we had to write all on our own. And we got all of that. Pat was fantastic to work with. Her experience showed in making sure that all our concerns about the day and the marriage license/certificate processing were covered. During the rehearsal, she helped us make sure that all the details were covered for the next day so we didn't stress over where to stand, what to hold, any of the small things.

While we had an initial concern that our package, one of the lower packages, was going to leave our ceremony feeling a bit paint-by-numbers, with us plugging ceremony pieces into the places they went. But there was enough personalization that it really didn't feel like it during the ceremony. It felt personal, it felt unique, and it was fantastic. The whole process was smooth from start to finish. We would recommend Pat to anyone, and if other officiants at Koru are anywhere near her quality, we'd definitely recommend Koru as a whole to anyone.

Pat could not have been more professional, organized, and enthusiastic. She has the perfect balance of charisma and efficiency. The ceremony building process was easy to follow yet customizable, and it was my favorite part to plan out of everything for our wedding. I recommend you start planning early on so you can make use of all of the recourses Koru will offer you. We were still able to add a lot of personal touches to our non-traditional wedding. Truly a joy to work with, I cannot recommend Koru enough!

Sarah was absolutely amazing to work with. She helped us through every step of the way, even the super fine little details you didn't know you had to think about. She is 100% your wedding coordinator for the entire ceremony. She coordinates with all of the other vendors to make sure everyone is on the same page. She makes sure every detail is taken care of, and everyone knows what to do and when to do it! She was always prompt in answering any questions we had. Our ceremony was beautiful, and we couldn't have done it without her! She takes so much of the stress way. Thank you so much Sarah!

Rachel is amazing!

Rachel was our officiant and she was amazing. We really loved the workbook that was available to us. We were able to essentially tailor our ceremony to what we wanted based off of the information we were given in the packet from Koru. When we first met with Rachel, both my husband and I felt so at ease with her and her personality. She was available to us if we needed and we were able to collaborate with her as we got closer and closer to our wedding date. The rehearsal put a lot of us at ease with how things would run and what we were supposed to do, where to stand, etc. I would hire her again in a heartbeat! Thanks Rachel!

Exceeded Expectations

From our very first meeting, Rachel was absolutely incredible to work with. Whether it was answering questions about our ceremony, providing insight, or being a calming presence, I cannot imagine our wedding day without her. Our ceremony was everything we dreamed of- filled with love, personal readings, and perfectly timed. Creating the ceremony was also something we really enjoyed- we loved being able to pick and choose different aspects and infuse personal touches into it. The night before our wedding, Rachel also did an amazing job at our rehearsal dinner- she clearly communicated what the ceremony would look like, answered questions, and helped the little ones warm up to the idea of walking down the aisle. We even had family members come up to us after and compliment our officiant and how beautifully she ran both the rehearsal and ceremony.

It's clear that Rachel truly cares about the couples she works with! One thing that my husband and I appreciated was how comfortable and welcoming Rachel made us feel. We came in with a lot of questions and very limited knowledge about logistics and Rachel was able to provide so much insight and talk us through various options and logistics. We cannot imagine having another officiant and absolutely loved her! 10000000/10 recommend!

A beautiful ceremony!

We had Rachel from Koru Ceremonies as our officiant. We felt like she was so professional and really listened to what we wanted our ceremony to be like. She did a great job of walking us through the ceremony and helped us make choices for things like the processional music. Rachel also did a rehearsal with us the night before, and everyone in the wedding party felt that the rehearsal was really helpful and made them feel more prepared for the ceremony. We would highly recommend Rachel and Koru Ceremonies!

Thank you Pat!

From the moment we connected with Pat, our worries about finding the perfect officiant were put to rest. With time ticking away and our desperation growing, Pat was nothing short of a godsend. Not only is she incredibly kind and professional, but she also took the reins and flawlessly organized our entire ceremony at the beautiful church.

What stood out to us was how Pat went the extra mile to ensure our ceremony was deeply personal and unique to our love story. Every detail was thoughtfully crafted and it was evident she poured her heart into making our day exceptionally special. We are eternally grateful to Pat for her dedication and for making our wedding ceremony more beautiful than we could have ever imagined.

If you're in search of an officiant who is passionate, attentive, and genuinely cares about making your day memorable, we wholeheartedly recommend Pat from Koru Ceremony.

Thank you, Pat, for everything. Your efforts will forever be etched in the memories of our special day.

Outstanding!

Pat was amazing to work with for our wedding ceremony! She made sure that every little detail was talked about during our meetings, and gave great tips for our vows. She was very helpful during our rehearsal and went over the grooms custom entrance the day of the wedding until he was comfortable. There was a small hiccup and Pat went above and beyond to resolve. We would give Pat 100 stars out of a 10 star review.

Lovely Experience

Sarah Harrison was our wedding officiant. She puts so much passion and detail into her work. She was kind, fun, and caring and put much effort into pronouncing our names correctly. The information provided by Koru made planning the ceremony much easier. From music, help with vows, license info, they made the process much less stressful.

Stop searching, you’ve found your officiant!

Pat did a PHENOMENAL job as our wedding officiant! She listened to our ideas and vision of a perfect ceremony, and she delivered! Not only was she a huge help throughout the process, but she made the rehearsal a breeze, and was a HUGE help on the wedding day! Working with Pat felt like we were working with a close friend/family member.

Our wedding day was a scorcher (heat index over 100F), and she was a trooper throughout the whole thing! She made the ceremony efficient and unique for the two of us, and we are grateful for having Pat be apart of our big day.

I highly recommend booking koru ceremony for your wedding or special event!

Beautiful Ceremony

My husband and I couldn’t be happier with our choice to go with Koru Ceremony for our wedding. Sarah Harrison was so kind throughout the planning process! She was responsive and very easy to work with. Sarah arrived to the venue early and offered to help with anything leading up to the ceremony. The ceremony went perfectly and Sarah did a beautiful job officiating!

The Absolute Best

Stop looking and book with Koru Ceremony! We had the absolute pleasure of having Rachel Tatge be our officiant and she was an absolute DREAM to work with. The initial Zoom call is about 2 hours and then she gives you homework. The verbiage you can pick from is laid out so well and incredibly organized and you can edit any of it to personalize it to you as a couple. Then you have a 2nd Zoom call where she reads everything you chose, and runs through the full ceremony with you. That’s it! She shows up to your ceremony, coordinates with the necessary folks and makes sure it goes incredibly smooth. Rachel used to be a wedding planner and gives incredible advice on what to do and what not to do when it comes to everything about your wedding, not just your ceremony. You want her in your corner, and she’s an amazing resource. She is extremely funny, professional, and sweet! I cannot recommend her and Koru Ceremony enough. Pat Werk was also very helpful throughout. We could not have asked for a more perfect day! Having Rachel as our officiant took a huge weight off our shoulders. She makes you feel like she’s got you every step of the way and that’s HUGE, you cannot put a price on that. You will not regret working with anyone on Koru’s team. They are wonderful!!!

Pat helped us create a Unique and Memorable Ceremony

We hired Pat to be our officiant and she helped us put together a unique and individualized ceremony. Being that we both come from different faith backgrounds, we were a bit anxious about how to create a ceremony that would be true to us and not ruffle any feathers. Pat gave us peace of mind by sharing an exact script with us and made changes- no matter how small- at our request in a timely manner. With her help and encouragement, we were able to create a ceremony that felt meaningful and personal to us. She ran the rehearsal in a timely way and we appreciated her attention to detail and flexibility on the day of the wedding with last-minute changes. Pat really encouraged us in planning a ceremony that carefully walked a line between traditional and nontraditional. We had a really fun reception as well but I think if you asked any guest their favorite part of our wedding day, they would say our ceremony. -Donnie Smith and Rachel Medley

Unforgettable wedding ceremony!

Pat was absolutely incredible! She exceeded all our expectations and made our wedding day truly unforgettable. From the moment we met her, we were struck by her warm and friendly demeanor. Pat's expertise in crafting wedding ceremonies is unmatched.

As a couple with little knowledge about planning a ceremony, we were immensely grateful for Pat's guidance and support. She effortlessly led us through each step, ensuring that every detail was taken care of.

The result was nothing short of spectacular. Our guests were blown away by the personalized ceremony. We received an abundance of compliments from our friends and family, with many proclaiming it to be the best wedding ceremony they had ever witnessed.

We cannot express enough gratitude to Pat for making our wedding ceremony an unforgettable experience. Her professionalism, attention to detail, and genuine warmth made her an absolute joy to work with.

Rachel was fantastic!

We didn't know what to expect when looking for an officiant for our wedding at Garver Feed Mill, but we were so glad we found Koru Ceremony. Rachel was our officiant and she was everything we could have possibly hoped for. Her communication and help with planning really put us at ease and made our ceremony come together perfectly. We received many great comments about Rachel from our guests! She was prompt, professional, kind and warm and made us feel like family. We would absolutely recommend her to anyone else getting married!

Sarah Harrison - Wonderful

Sarah was warm, helpful and patient throughout our wedding planning process. She answered all of our questions and gave great suggestions to help us plan our ceremony. The rehearsal the night before was helpful for everyone in our wedding party, and we couldn't have had a better officiant for our ceremony. After our wedding, we received many comments from our guests praising Sarah's work. We would recommend Sarah and Koru Ceremony for anyone's wedding ceremony.

Created a beautiful ceremony that felt just like us.

Pat at Koru was absolutely awesome to work with. She made us feel at ease through the planning process. She shared a wealth of resources to make our ceremony planning and vow writing exactly what we had imagined. It was like working with a close family friend.

On the big day itself, she was the calm that helped organize the storm. We had a rehearsal dinner with her the night before, but with so many children in our wedding party, having her get everyone to their places and letting them know exactly what they should be doing was beyond helpful. We were nervous about getting everyone to cooperate and remember their parts, but it all went really well.

The ceremony itself was touching and we felt that it was a great reflection of us as a couple. We are so thankful to have found Koru Ceremony and to have Pat as our officiant. Couldn't recommend her enough!

Thank you Pat!

Sarah was incredibly accommodating and provided a very calm, level-headed presence for us, as planning a wedding and the actual day can feel hectic and high stress at times. Sarah made sure we remained present, in the moment, and we also loved how well-versed spiritually she is. We would highly recommend her for others.

Amazing Ceremony!

I do not have enough good things to say about Pat and her business! We knew we wanted to work with her right away when we met her. She loves her work and was so passionate in making our ceremony perfectly customized to us. We chose to have a non-religious ceremony and she was more than willing to accommodate. She listens to your vision and brings it to life with words. She has countless resources to help you choose specifics such as variations of different parts of the ceremony, quotes or readings to choose from, advice on how to write your vows, and much more. What was really important to us though, was that she never pushed her ideas too much, only offered expertise and polite suggestions about minor changes. Multiple people in our families have said it was the best ceremony they had ever been to, and they’ve been to a lot. We could not have been happier with our ceremony!

The Absolute Best

At first I was unsure who would marry us and late in the planning I decided I wanted to find an officiant. Pat came highly recommended to us by a friend and so we reached out and she happened to be free! We loved working with her. She helped us create a ceremony that was uniquely us, but provided us with so many prompts and ideas that planning our ceremony was one of our favorite parts of planning the wedding! She was very organized and efficient, guiding us through the process of planning a ceremony and applying for a license. She was fantastic when we last minute had to change the rehearsal location and helped us to make it work and make it a memorable experience. The ceremony would not have been as special or flowed as smoothly without Pat, we were blessed to meet her and have her officiate our wedding.

Experienced, thoughtful service

We worked with Pat at Koru Ceremony for our wedding day, and would highly recommend her to others! She was absolutely lovely to work with, and we felt so comfortable and taken care of throughout the entire process. She walked us through all the ceremony options to help us create a ceremony that felt special and true to us, and was a helpful, calming presence both at the rehearsal and on the wedding day. She also provided helpful feedback on our vows that we wrote, and navigated us through the legal stuff needed for the wedding license/certificate. We’re actually the second couple in my family to work with her, and we both had a wonderful experience - highly recommend!

I highly recommend hiring Koru Ceremony as your wedding officiant! Pat is extremely responsive, professional, and cares deeply about making your ceremony special and meaningful to you and your significant other. We were able to have multiple meetings, revisions to our ceremony script, and countless emails with her. The planning process with Pat was very smooth but also as customized as you want to make it. Pat made us feel prepared and supported for our ceremony so we could be as stress-free as possible and just enjoy the moment. Not only was she our officiant, but she also guided us on how to apply for a marriage license/certificate, how to change my last name, etc. before and after the wedding. Thank you, Pat, for giving us such a wonderful start to our marriage!

Special and Unique

We hired Koru and Rev. Pat to officiate our wedding and could not be happier. My husband was concerned at first about having someone we didn't know marry us, but I wanted someone professional and with a religious background. After our initial meeting with Pat we both knew she was the perfect fit.

Pat worked with us to create an individualized ceremony that was exactly what we were looking for. We were able to pick and choose the most meaningful pieces to build our perfect ceremony. I was joyful just reading the rough draft! She is very detail oriented and did a perfect job during the wedding itself. We received a ton of compliments on the ceremony afterwards from our guests.

The most special and important moment of the day for me was during the ceremony. It was emotional without being cheesy-- I heard lots of sniffling in the crowd! Thank you Pat!!

Pat was such a joy to work with and made the entire process of creating and executing our ceremony so easy! She was organized and calm and exactly what I was hoping for in an officiant. I was feeling pretty anxious at our rehearsal as I was trying to organize a large group of family and friends, and she took the lead at the perfect time. Pat totally nailed the ceremony and had both dads in tears. I can't recommend Koru Ceremony/Pat enough!

Amazing Officiant and Services

Peter was an absolute perfect officiant for our wedding. He really took the time to truly get to know us and our story, and incorporated everything we asked for into the ceremony. Peter worked with us from start to finish, as we weren’t really sure what to include at first. He offered suggestions, and always made sure we were happy with any additions/edits that were made. Peter was flexible, stuck to the timeline we discussed, and had great communication. We received so many comments from our guests about how great of a job Peter did. We cannot recommend Peter enough!

First of all… we do not have enough good things to say about Pat Werk at Koru Ceremony. She is an absolute professional. Pat helped so much to ease the stress of our ceremony planning with her organization and experience. Pat was able to help guide us in some decision making that we definitely would not have had had we hired anyone else. She was so easy to work with and made us feel loved as she was able to personalize our ceremony to make our day “ours”. We had numerous guests compliment her about our ceremony and Pat is 100% to credit for this. We promise that if you hire Koru Ceremony, you will be elated with the service.

Incredible

If you are looking for a wedding officiant, look no further. I can promise that you too will fall in love with Peter + Koru. My now husband and I had no idea who would marry us and looked at recommendations until we came across Koru and decided we would book a consultation. After the first consultation we knew that there were no other choices. From the first consultation, Peter continued to be one of the most helpful people we would work with while planning our wedding and on our actual wedding day. He was incredibly helpful, kind, awesome at communicating, and truly made our big day one of a kind. With the ability to make the ceremony your own, you truly cannot go wrong. My husband and I cannot wait to rewatch our ceremony video just so we can reminisce.

Peter + Koru, thank you for making the best day of our lives even better!!

Pat was amazing!! She delivered an absolutely beautiful ceremony and was fantastic at guiding us through the process of getting married. She was flexible in working with us to craft her words during the ceremony, gave clear instruction on the legal processes, and offered great advice during the rehearsal. Our wedding wouldn't have come together as smoothly without Pat's help.

It was a pleasure to work with Sara on our wedding ceremony. We thought about potentially having a friend marry us, but were glad to have the professionalism and experience that Koru brought to the table. Sara incorporated various custom requests, and we were so pleased with the flexibility on ceremony script. She even gave us little tips for how to make the ceremony go smoother. Would recommend for sure!

High Praise for Koru Ceremony!

We hired Pat from Koru Ceremony to officiate our wedding and we are so happy we did! Pat was terrific to work with from start to finish. She was friendly, very personable, and very responsive to our emails. Pat helped us create a meaningful and personalized ceremony script. She had a great and extremely thorough system for creating the script where you could select pre-made options or totally customize anything you wanted. We wanted the groom’s uncle to lead a cultural ritual and Pat did a great job working with him and making sure the ritual was performed in the correct manner. Pat was a wonderful leader at our wedding rehearsal and made sure everyone knew exactly what to do. She also did a fantastic job at the ceremony, and guests couldn’t stop talking about how meaningful the ceremony was! Although we only chatted with Pat a few times, it felt like a friend was marrying us rather than a stranger, and we are so happy with how everything turned out!

We loved Pat!

We are so glad that we booked Pat for our wedding! She was very thorough, caring, and considerate. She explained to us her process and encouraged us to choose the package that best fit us (not the most expensive package). She helped us to create the most beautiful ceremony! The way she creates a ceremony is very tailored to what you are looking for as a couple. She is very flexible with allowing for wording changes or any ideas you would like incorporated. We almost were unable to have her come for the rehearsal of the ceremony, but thank goodness she was able to come because she made every single little detail look perfect! She has been very dependable throughout the entire wedding planning process and could not have asked for anyone better! Overall, Pat has been a Godsend!

We highly recommend Pat and Koru Ceremony

Looking for a unique and memorable ceremony that will truly be your own? Look no further! We highly recommend Pat Werk as a wedding officiant. She prides herself in providing a ceremony that is personalized to the couple. You get to choose so much of what will be said and done. Our special moment featured a knot tying ritual which embodied our passion of the outdoors and rock climbing. Pat was excited to help us make that possible! She was so kind in preparing a personalized ceremony that will not be forgotten. Although the ceremony can be a stressful part of the day, her confidence, kind presence, and compassion for her work allowed us to relax and be present in the moment. Pat will undoubtedly make your special day even more special.

Pat was truly outstanding to work with! She took time and care to get to understand us, what was important in our relationship and what we wanted our wedding ceremony to look and feel like. The result was truly the most special 35 minutes of our life! Many of our guests commented that it was one of the best wedding ceremonies they had been to and we have Pat to thank for that. We highly recommend Pat and Koru Ceremony for wedding officiants!

Pat Werk of Koru Ceremony is Absolute Magic

This review is hard for me to write because I truly don’t know if I can put into words what working with Pat meant to me. I am both a writer and a reader and to me the officiant was an extremely important choice to make for our wedding. I wanted to feel at home with our officiant, that they knew our story and were going to present our love and what it felt like to us to everyone at our wedding. I found that in Pat. The first call I had with Pat was two hours long, I just couldn’t stop talking with her and I felt so comfortable speaking to her about our vision and our story. When it came time to review the ceremony she had drafted it was also a priority for me to feel heard. Pat sent me an initial version of our ceremony and then I replied back with edits and some of my own ideas. Together we worked to make a wedding ceremony that truly reflected mine and my husband’s life, love and family. Pat also directed the rehearsal seamlessly and as soon as I saw her I gave her the biggest hug because she felt like family. On our wedding day, I wasn’t nervous - I was brimming with happiness. Part of that happiness and ease was brought about by having an amazing team of vendors. Pat was a huge part of that and we will forever be grateful to her for helping in creating and executing pure magic on our wedding day.

We had a pretty general idea of what we wanted for our Wedding ceremony, but the guidance and assistance we received along the way was so valuable to helping us really put together the perfect ceremony, just like we wanted it to be. It was obvious to us, as the planning stages unfolded, that Pat and the Koru process would be suitable for many different types of couples, whether religious or not or spiritual in their own way or not, the freedom to "pick and choose" what types of wording and even edit the specific phrases in whatever way we desired.
This flexibility was very important to us, and we utilized it to its full potential to help us build our ceremony.
We had ample opportunities to communicate and go over the ceremony and what it was going to look like with Pat, and she was always willing to work with us along the way. Her experience with former clients was also very relevant and helpful.
The execution of the ceremony itself went very well, Pat was professional and flexible and, at every step along the way, a joy to work with.
I would recommend Pat and the Koru team to anyone.

Amazing Officiant

Pat Werk was our officiant for our wedding ceremony last week. Working with Pat was simple, wonderful, and very informative during our meetings. We met via zoom, which was very convenient for us, to plan and organize our ceremony. We chose to have Pat share our love story during our ceremony…. since we met during Covid some of our extended family and friends didn’t know our full story! I can’t count how many people came up to us during our reception and asked if Pat was a relative because she told our love story so well! It was AMAZING!!! I can’t wait to get our wedding footage from our videographer so we can watch and relive the ceremony again. Pat was also super helpful, timely, and organized in providing us with all of the information we needed to get our marriage license and for me to change my last name. Thank you Pat and Koru Ceremony!

Great job!

We found Koru Ceremony online and were impressed by the variety of ceremony style they could offer. After submitting our request, their certified officiant Rachel soon reaches to us and set up our first virtual meeting. She helped us a lot for the wedding ceremony preparation from the marriage license application procedure to details of ceremony content. The entire process was well organized and make us feel less stressful. Rachel showed up at 45 minutes earlier at our ceremony to check if everything was going well. The ceremony was very successful and touching! We are very happy with Rachel’s and Koru’s professional service and great help! Highly recommend to other couples!

Personalized ceremony experience

Highly recommend!!! Pat at Koru Ceremony was amazing. We were a two-religion couple, so we were initially worried about how we could make our ceremony feel spiritual & meaningful without leaning too strong in any one direction - Pat was able to help us make it feel extremely personalized and bring all of the important elements into our ceremony.
If you are looking for a professional, personalized, & heartfelt ceremony, go with Koru!

I would highly recommend Pat to officiate your wedding! She is very personal and knows how to adapt in unexpected situations. She helped the day proceed smoothly. She took stress off my plate since I knew she was so reliable.

Wonderful experience with Pat and Koru Ceremonies

Pat was absolutely wonderful to work with for our wedding! Our ceremony was perfect, and the process of putting it together was a breeze with her help. One compliment we received the most throughout our wedding day was about how beautiful and romantic the ceremony and our vows were, which was all thanks to Pat. We cannot recommend her and Koru Ceremonies enough!

Fantastic and Personal Wedding Experience

Koru Ceremony and Pat Werk were specatcular to work with. Pat advised and guided us through the whole process while letting us make our own choices, kept in touch, and provided a very personal experience for us and all of our guests. We received several comments complimenting our wedding ceremony. I could not more strongly recommend!

The Perfect Day

Pat was absolutely amazing to work with! From our initial meeting with her, we knew we would be in good hands. It is easy to see her experience and expertise; she helped us put together the perfect ceremony. We had zero worries the day of our wedding so we were able to be present and fully cherish the day. My husband and I can't thank you enough, Pat.

Highly recommend Pat/Koru Ceremonies!`

Our wedding was last weekend and I can't say enough great things about Pat. From our initial consultation through the final ceremony script, Pat was there through the whole process to answer questions, provide guidance and assistance, and create a ceremony that was unique and perfect for our wedding. Our parents have different religious beliefs than my husband and I so I was very worried about how to make them happy with our ceremony while still making it feel personal and genuine for my husband and I. We were able to work with Pat to build a ceremony that was meaningful for us, but that our parents also loved. Even beyond the ceremony script, Pat offered assistance with music selection, vow writing, and provided instructions on obtaining marriage certificates, changing my name, etc. The ceremony was beautiful and we could not have done it without Pat. I can't recommend her and Koru Ceremonies enough.

Absolutely amazing

Pat Werk from Koru Ceremony was our officiant for our elopement and she was an absolute dream to work with. We had looked into hiring other officiants but the moment we met with Pat we knew she was the one. Pat came completely prepared to our first meeting which was a total blessing because we had no idea where to start when planning the ceremony. Pat helped us make our ceremony our own and provided us with plenty of vow and reading examples to choose from. Not only did she help us plan the ceremony she continued to support me in changing my last name and instructions on how to get our certificate. Without Pat I truly don't know what we would of done, she made planning everything before, during, and after so comfortable and easy. I cannot recommend working with Pat and Koru Ceremony enough!

Organized, Helpful, and Great!

Working with Pat and Koru Ceremony was a simple and great decision that my wife and I made! We had seen how helpful, insightful, and knowledgeable Pat was about the wedding industry at a family members wedding and knew then that we would not regret choosing her services. Not only did the process of curating our event go smoothly it went smoothly multiple times as Pat was extremely flexible with our wedding date due to schedule changes from Covid. Pat was always in contact with us to make sure that we had everything we needed and that our wedding day went the way we wanted it to go! Not only does Pat do great work she knows so many other vendors and tips and tricks to help reduce the stress of planning a wedding. Even during the wedding or running through rehearsal Pat helps to make sure that you (the wedding couple) take in the moment. She also makes it so you don't have to worry yourself with the little things as she is on top of the small details you are likely not even thinking about! If you are looking for an officiant or someone to help with your wedding look no further as Pat and Koru Ceremony are your best choice!

Wonderful experience from start to finish

Pat was wonderful to work with from start to finish. She understood exactly what we wanted for our small, unique wedding ceremony. She both listened closely to our ideas and provided excellent ideas of her own. The whole process was incredibly smooth and easy. We are so happy to have found her and would recommend her/Koru to anyone looking to create a special, beautiful, one-of-a-kind ceremony or other event.

Wonderful Officiant

Pat was warm, kind and knowledgeable about every aspect of our ceremony and the marriage license. My husband and I eloped and Pat had crafted a beautiful ceremony for us during our initial Zoom meeting. We had a private ceremony, and Pat even helped me with the buttons on my wedding gown! We were so happy with everything Pat did for us!

The best we could've imagined!

Pat was the best officiant we could've asked for. From the beginning, she was extremely detail oriented and truly wanted to get to know us and our story. She was so timely in scheduling meetings and sending us all of the information we needed. She made planning so easy and was the best coordinator during the rehearsal dinner and day of! We've received so many compliments from friends and family that attended the ceremony, noting how personal it was. They knew that it was curated exactly for us. We would recommend Pat to anyone looking for the best officiant for their special day!

They were absolutely perfect. Our officiant, Peter L, was amazing to work with. We wanted an intimate and unique to us ceremony and he more than delivered. Their packages and customization are so flexible and fairly priced. We even got several guest's compliments about our ceremony and officiant Peter afterwards. We cannot say enough positives about Koru or Peter!

Great experience!

Reverend Pat was wonderful to work with! She made the process of creating the ceremony very easy and personable. She gave us a lot of suggestions and options for the content and flow of the ceremony. It's easy to tell she has years of experience and expertise. If we had any adjustments we wanted to make she was completely open to them. You can tell she loves what she does and always had a smile on her face! During our meetings with her we always felt comfortable, as if she was a friend. We highly recommend Reverend Pat and her services!

Perfect Ceremony

Rev. Pat was absolutely amazing. She delivered an incredible ceremony that didn't leave a dry eye in the room. I felt that Pat really made our story feel unique and special. Not to mention Pat provided tons of material to help us write our own vows, and customize our ceremony with plenty of options for every detail. She also gave our wedding party tips during rehearsal and talked about how she would be positioned to make sure the pictures turned out the best.

I don't think our wedding day would have been as special as it turned out being without Pat.

Amazing experience.

Keith and I were married on October 9th, 2021 after becoming engaged in June of 2019. Well we all know what happened between June 2019 and October 2021. We were blessed to have Pat from Koru Ceremony with us through it all. After our initial meeting with Pat, we immediately knew that she would be perfect for officiating our wedding. Pat was with us ready to officiate our original wedding date in 2020, and after we postponed a year out, she made sure she was available to officiate the new wedding date in 2021. Pat is warm and open, and she is incredibly professional. She answered all of our questions about the not-so-romantic logistical parts of the marriage (how to get the marriage license, etc) and also helped us create the most beautiful and personalized ceremony. For anyone like us who doesn't belong to a church and didn't want a friend or family member to officiate our wedding, Koru Ceremony is the perfect option. We couldn't recommend anyone more highly!

Unforgettable

It was amazing having Pat officiate our wedding. I really had now clue where to even start with planning a ceremony, even the timing was confusing to me. Pat was so helpful, she had incredible resources that told me exactly what I needed to think about and gave me options, but that were also incredibly personalized. Our ceremony was anything but run-of-the-mill. Our procession order had a lot of moving parts and was a little complex, but Pat handled it with grace and was always so affirming, never making me feel like I was over complicating things. We wanted our friend to be involved in the ceremony, so Pat graciously invited him to present his own “charge to the couple” and even let him have the “you may now kiss your wife” line. I cried, my husband cried, we laughed, it was truly incredible. Pat was able to blend all of our hopes for our wedding so beautifully. It was truly unique and unforgettable and I can’t thank her enough.

Great Experience

Working with Pat and her company Koru Ceremony was one of the best decisions we could have made for our wedding. Pat has a great process that will produce the ceremony you have dreamt about. Pat did a good job helping us through the planning process for the ceremony. She was receptive to our ideas and tweaks that we wanted to make our ceremony unique. I would highly recommend Pat and her company to anyone needing her service. She truly helped make our day special.

Pat was honestly so wonderful to work with! We are so happy that we found her to officiate our special day, and she helped make the day special.

The Best Day Of Our Lives

Reverent Pat was one of the first vendors we talked to and we clicked right from the beginning, our first conversation was nearly two hours long. Pat is so very patient, calm, caring, detail oriented and full of ideas, planning our ceremony with her was very easy and an experience we will never forget.
Our ceremony could not have been any better, Pat did an extraordinary job, we received so many compliments from our guests. We could not imagine anybody else marrying us. She will always have a special place in our hearts and we look forward to stay in touch with her in the years to come.
Thank you Pat for making our special day the best day we could have ever imagined.

Beautiful Ceremony

Our wedding officiant Sarah is amazing! She is very personable, flexible, has a great sense of humor, & easy to work with. She provided a lot of handouts/information & a huge ceremony planning outline with lots of options where we could work with her to create our perfect ceremony that is perfect for us as a couple! She also was very good about answering any questions and concerns we had related to our wedding ceremony.

She worked with our family, bridal party, DJ, & others to make sure everyone knew what was going on and help our ceremony run smoothly! Our ceremony was so beautiful and she helped make sure our ceremony was everything we hoped for and more!!! We felt very much a part of the ceremony planning process and she worked with us to make sure our ceremony was very unique to us as a couple! We were so pleased to have Sarah officiate our wedding and thank you Koru ceremony!

Pat officiated our wedding and we were so happy that we found her. It was a small, intimate wedding and she made sure everything was absolutely perfect. She spent a lot of time discussing the details with us and went above and beyond to make sure the ceremony was special for us. With Pat’s assistance and ideas, the ceremony turned out even better than I had imagined. Pat is kind, caring and very professional. I highly recommend Pat as a wedding officiant!!
