    Rev. Kathy Jennings is the absolute best! She was able to assist us from beginning to end. We advised our guests we had found the perfect Officiant, and after the ceremony they were in unanimous agreement that we had chosen the best. The ceremony was fantastic, it was exactly what we wanted. We highly recommend her to those looking to create a memorable event for themselves or others you may know that are planning an event.

    Kathy was absolutely fantastic! From guiding us through the ceremony building process to the big day, Kathy was always helpful, positive, and professional. Not only did we enjoy Kathy but all of our guests commented on how awesome she was as well. We would highly recommend Kathy as an officiant at your wedding!

    Rev Kathy is one word AMAZING! We eloped on top of a mountain with 30 mph winds and she stuck it out with us! She was responsive and helpful throughout our process. We loved how beautiful and intimate our ceremony was!

    Kathy was truly a pleasure to work with. She quickly responded to our initial inquiry. Once we secured her services to be our wedding officiant, she sent us a multitude of sample weddings for us to pick and choose from to customize our ceremony. We met with Kathy at her home the night before the ceremony, where she spent the time necessary with us to make sure that we were comfortable with the wording and how exactly we wanted the ceremony to go. To top it off, she brought a friend with her on our wedding day to act as one of our witnesses. Her manner and cadence in officiating our elopement ceremony put us both at ease to make the ceremony successful. If you plan to hold a wedding in Asheville, do yourself a favor and hire Kathy to officiate.

    Kathy was great. Our rehearsal and ceremony went so smoothly. I was clueless going into this whole process and really needed a lot of guidance as far as vows, readings, etc. Her suggestions and advice were so helpful! I wouldn't change anything.

    Kathy was a great Officiant for wedding! We loved her flexibility for the ceremony and felt that we could truly create a non-denominational and multicultural wedding to be exactly what we wanted. Everything went smoothly and she was very helpful with getting the marriage license turned in to the Register of Deeds. We would certainly recommend her services to anyone else needing wedding ceremony services.

    Katrina and I were married by Rev. Kathy and feel so lucky to have chosen her to be our officiant. For those nervous couples looking for a wonderful person to help tie the knot, we strongly recommend going with Kathy. From the first contact, Kathy was extremely responsive and quick to communicate by phone and by email. She was professional and clear regarding contract and $, and there were no moments of confusion and weirdness. I say this because in trying to find the right caterer and band, we spent many hours of frustration due to bad communication or non-responsiveness, so knowing that the Rev. was so solid from day 1 was extremely calming.
    We wanted to write our own ceremony, and Kathy helped us immensely by sending numerous emails and attachments with examples from previous ceremonies. She would read through our drafts and offer suggestions. We Skyped with her and spoke on the phone, since we don't live in NC. She also made time for us before the day to meet and go over the whole ceremony in detail including a run through, which helped to assure the whole thing was practiced and smooth.
    Kathy is an interfaith minister, and this was extremely important to us - we're not religious but have certain spiritual and cultural tenets that she helped us to weave into the design of the ceremony and vows. Many people remarked at the wedding at how it all seemed to reflect us so perfectly - wouldn't have been possible without Kathy's accommodation and experienced guidance in this area.
    When you're up there getting married in front of all your family and friends, with so many emotions and feelings running high, you really need to feel a strong and loving presence from your officiant, to know that your space is being 'held'. Couldn't imagine anyone doing this with more calm, professional, loving assurance than Rev. Kathy.

    Kathy was such a pleasure to work with throughout the entire process. My husband and I are from Florida and our wedding took place in North Carolina. Kathy made the whole process easy and fun. We were able to put together a beautiful ceremony thanks to her advice and help. We got so many compliments on our ceremony. Family and friends gushed about how lovely it was and how we had a great balance of tradition in combination with making it unique to my husband and I. Kathy is knowledgable, fun to work with and overall a PERFECT choice. Couldn't be happier with how everything turned out. Thank you, Kathy!!

    Kathy was amazing. Very down to earth and helpful with planning how we wanted our ceremony to go. She provided us with great ideas and different ways to get what we wanted to say started. We are a very low key couple and didn't want anything over the top. Our ceremony was quick, sweet and deep all at the same time. Kathy is so sweet and our parents even complimented on how Kathy listened to what we wanted and was extremely respectful and open. She made us all feel so comfortable. Very pleased. Highly recommended!!

    Kathy was great with helping us put together a ceremony that fit our personalities when we were clueless. She is friendly and professional and great in a pinch! (our speak system broke during ceremony and she was able to project her voice effectively) ;-)

    Rev. Kathy was extremely accommodating from Day 1. She was prompt in email responses and helped us put together a lovely ceremony. On Wedding Day she helped us tremendously by making sure everyone was on the same page. She is very reassuring and her guidance really solidified the entire event. Thank you, Rev. Jennings!

    Kathy is absolutely wonderful! She made the whole ceremony go smoothly, everyone commented about how impressed they were with how professional and fun she was. My parents came up for the pre-wedding meeting with her and my Dad mentioned how grateful he was to have been able to attend that with us, because she is so detailed in helping prepare for the ceremony. She was extremely flexible in helping us pick our ceremony words and flow. She even drove 45 minutes to our venue, which was a new place for her!
    I would highly recommend her!

    Kathy was amazing!
    We planned our wedding in the span of a month and a half, and she was quick to respond to us and help us work through our ceremony until it was the one we wanted. We didn't want a "religious" ceremony, and she was very accommodating, having experience officiating all types of weddings. She was extremely personable, as she was the only officiant we talked with who requested to Skype and/or meet with us prior to our event. She really made us feel like she cared that our ceremony was what we wanted. We didn't really know how to arrange the proceedings or how it should flow, and Kathy had many options for us to form an outline and then mold it to what we wanted. During the ceremony she was calm, well-paced, and well-spoken while keeping it light and evoking a celebratory mood. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking to tie the knot!

    Kathy was a wonderful officiant to work with. My husband and I are not religious, and wanted to find an officiant who would help us create a ceremony with personal meaning. Throughout the entire process, Kathy provided us with support and guidance, helping us craft the perfect wedding ceremony that we'll never forget. During our wedding planning, we were also moving across country (from MA to CA, while getting married in NC!) and Kathy was very flexible and responsive to our ever changing schedules. We were able to meet in person prior to the ceremony, and the day of, everything went just as planned. Even with rainy day traffic, Kathy was on time and everything went off with a hitch (pun intended)!

    Kathy worked with us to create the wedding ceremony that was exactly what we wanted. Her suggestions and guidance took a simple concept into a personal experience that was better than we first imagined. Kathy was flexible with our chaotic schedule and it all fell in place perfectly thanks to her thinking of the details. She brings a terrific energy and was a joy to work with.

    Kathy was great! She was very professional and performed a beautiful service for us. During our initial phone conversation, she had numerous ideas about how we could personalize our wedding. She was very flexible with how we did things (no bridal party, our 2 year old son, etc). I couldn't have asked for anything more. I loved the options for the vows, readings, etc. Everyone was impressed and commented on how beautiful the service was! Thank you Kathy!

    Our experience with Rev. Kathy Jennings was simply beautiful. We drove from Atlanta to Asheville for the ceremony and she made us feel special from the moment we first spoke on the phone. She helped make the entire processs extremely smooth and easy for us, especially considering that we were from out of town The Service she prepared for us was beyond our expectations. We can't express how special her words made our Service and were in line with what we would have chosen for ourselves. Asheville is a beautiful city and a wonderful place to get married! We most definitely will be recommending Rev. Kathy Jennings to our friends and family.

    I wish there were more stars to express how wonderful it was working with Rev. Kathy. We were planning our wedding from out of town, which isn't always easy but she made it easy and exciting. We were able to easily stay in touch and she really helped form our ceremony to fit us perfectly! We were even able to run through some details before the big day which helped both her and us! We can't thank her enough and would recommend her to anyone!

    Rev. Kathy was the perfect addition to our intimate ceremony. She was incredibly helpful in the planning process leading up to the ceremony (which was very important to me since I was planning our wedding from out of town), took the time to meet us while we were in town for one weekend, walked us through everything so we knew exactly what to expect the day of, and provided a seamless ceremony on our wedding day. Everything was perfect and it was great working with her!

    Kathy performed our elopement ceremony on 9/26/14 and we couldn't have made a better decision than going with her as our Officiant. We live in Texas and had our event in North Carolina, so everything was done over email and phone which was a breeze with Kathy. She was a joy to talk to leading up to our ceremony and really guided us in the process of planning the ceremony and our vows. Kathy was very flexible from start to finish. I would definitely recommend her for your big day.

    Thank you so much Kathy!

    I was planning a wedding in the smoky mountains at a venue I had never been to. I was also unable to meet with Kathy in person before the ceremony. She did a superb job communicating with me that by the time of the ceremony I felt like I had known her for years. She was so organized and personable. We would not have had it any other way. She made our ceremony everything we ever wanted and SO much more!!

    Kathy was wonderful throughout the entire process of constructing and performing our ceremony. From the very beginning, she was extremely warm and eager to help us perfect our ceremony. When we started the process, we had no idea what it was that we wanted for our ceremony. Kathy provided so many examples and options that we were able to construct a ceremony that was meaningful to us. She also really worked with us to figure out how to incorporate aspects that were important to us, namely the inclusion of our two children throughout the ceremony. We truly appreciate her!

    Kathy was great to work with. We chose her because of her flexibility and willingness to blend traditional and non-traditional elements. She helped us plan a ceremony that allowed our personalities to shine through, while still providing guidance about structure, timing, and rhythm. She met with us multiple times before the big day to go over what we wanted as well as practice the ceremony. She offered template ceremonies to help get us started crafting a custom ceremony that included traditional Irish handfasting and personal vows. We can't recommend her enough.

    We cannot say enough about Reverend Kathy! We do not live in the Asheville area so we found Reverend Kathy online and selected her based on all of her positive reviews - and we are SO glad we did. She is extremely responsive and professional; and she provided a TON of ceremony examples, suggestions, tips, etc. which really helped us construct our personalized ceremony. At the same time, Reverend Kathy is also very laid back and emanates this incredibly warm and positive vibe -- ideal for our small elopement ceremony in the mountains. We would wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone!

    Rev. Kathy did a wonderful job with our wedding. We had our wedding at the Pisgah Inn and she was flexible enough to meet us there. We just wanted to thank her for making it a truly wonderful and special experience.

    I cannot say enough good things about Kathy. My husband and I had a very small wedding with immediate family only. Kathy was very attentive to my husband and my requests and had excellent suggestions on how to make our ceremony unique and special for us. Some people just have a way with words and she is one of those people. The first time we met her, we drove home knowing we selected the right officiant for our wedding. She has a dynamic personality and just oozes warmth and happiness.

    Kathy was amazing to work with to plan a wedding. We were no easy feat with my being in Boston, MA and James being in Rockingham, NC to be married in Asheville, NC. She easily facilitated our creating a ceremony that was authentic. She was open and flexible to using Google Hangout to discuss the ceremony from a distance and to include new ideas about how we wanted to incorporate our kids. When we were at a loss, she came to the rescue with lots of wonderful ideas about how to pull our ideas together. If we were to get married again tomorrow, I would definitely choose to work with Kathy all over again!

    Rev. Kathy Jennings was more than willing to be flexible and meet with us when we traveled into the area for our destination wedding in Asheville. She was prompt and provided excellent feedback to help us craft a very personalized ceremony. She also had an amazing amount of patience with our large disorganized family at the rehearsal.

    Reverend Kathy helped make our wedding special by being flexible (we asked her to hike a half mile to Triple Falls) and responsive to our wishes. She guided us and provided us examples of a ceremony which we then modeled with readings and our own vows. She recommended a photographer (Meghan Rolfe) and also had her husband be a witness to the ceremony. Even with the threat of rain, all were willing to still make the journey. It turned out to be a beautiful day and weekend. Doing the ceremony down by the falls made it a special event.

    I couldn't be more grateful for Reverend Kathy Jennings. My fiancé and I eloped and were only able to communicate over email and phone due to busy work schedules and planning a wedding within a very short period of time. She was not only responsive, but incredibly caring and helpful in making our ceremony exactly what we wanted it to be. She is absolutely the best and although I wish we would have been able to spend more time with her, I am lucky to know her and thankful that she was the one who officiated our marriage.

    Our wedding had to be planned in 3 weeks due of unforeseen schedule changes. I found Kathy on Wedding Wire - she had such high reviews so I was sure that she would not be available. I was wrong - Kathy contacted me almost immediately and began helping me brainstorm different ideas. After my first conversation with her, I felt at ease. She was more than just our officiant - she recommended various venues, a wonderful photographer, and helped us to figure out all of the details of the ceremony. She was professional, made us feel comfortable, and provided high quality service. Kathy offered suggestions but inspired us to find the right words for us personally, and made our ceremony unique and intimate. I recommend her highly!!!!

    Kathy was an absolute blessing. She was so helpful with ideas for wording for the ceremony and allowed us to meet with her at her house the day before the wedding to finalize things. She has tremendous energy and her spirit really added to our special day. We felt a nice connection with Kathy as soon as we started working with her and it came through during the ceremony. We could not have been happier.

    Kathy was a huge blessing! We were planning a small destination wedding in Maggie Valley with plans to have a family friend officiate the ceremony, two weeks before our date we learned our friend was unable to do so. Needless to say with the late date and the fact that we were 8 hours away from our destination - we panicked. My husband immediately searched and found Kathy online then sent a plea for help - she responded quickly and set up a time for us to chat by phone the same day. That conversation immediately put us both at ease and we knew she'd be a perfect fit for the type of ceremony we wanted. She helped us cultivate the perfect ceremony - taking the ideas we had then adding her own expertise. It turned out to be even more beautiful than we could have imagined. We were able to meet her in her home office before our big day to do a read through and get comfortable. She was fabulous on our wedding day - arriving early and excited to be a part of our special moment. Our family and friends raved about the ceremony, so many people have said it was the most beautiful and special wedding they had ever been to. I may be biased, but I agree. Kathy really set the tone for our entire day, I am so glad that fate stepped in and allowed us to meet! We are forever thankful!

    Kathy Jennings was amazing to work with throughout the process from start to end. We were from out of town, so we weren't sure exactly how to go about finding the right person to fill this important role. We hit the jackpot. She is so friendly and welcoming. She offered us ideas and asked us questions that allowed us to put together a ceremony that was absolutely beautiful. She was extremely flexible and met with us a few times. She put us at ease, as we knew she would help us make this a spectacular day, and she did. Thank you Kathy!!

    Reverend Kathy is amazing! My husband and I used her as our wedding officiant and also attended marriage counseling with her prior to the ceremony.

    She is flexible, prompt, and very professional. We came to her knowing that we wanted to create a ceremony that would be a little bit different than your average wedding ceremony. She provided us samples and plenty of advice on how to piece together a ceremony that would capture our love, personality, and needs.

    The marriage counseling we attended with Kathy was extremely helpful and really allowed my husband and I to get to know each other on an even more intimate level. We had been together for 5 years before we married and during the sessions with Kathy, we learned something new about each other.

    Thank you Reverend Kathy for officiating a beautiful ceremony and providing us the tools that we need to make our marriage strong.

    My husband and I are from Wisconsin, so when we were looking for an officiant for our Asheville wedding, we were challenged to find someone that fit what we were looking for from far away. From start to finish, Kathy was incredible. She's very understanding, open and helped us so much in crafting our ceremony and vows. We both loved her energy as she made us feel calm during a time when things are so stressful with wedding planning. We highly recommend Kathy!

    Kathy was so wonderful to work with! She has so much experience and so many examples that really helped us create a structure for our service and vows (since we had NO idea where to start!). Kathy was enthusiastic about our ideas and helped us make sure that it all flowed together. On top of all her help creating the vows, Kathy was warm, comforting, and charming while she was officiating them! I knew our wedding would be fun and special, of course, but I really didn't expect the ceremony to be the most perfect part of our amazing weekend!

    I couldn't have been happier with Rev. Kathy! She was extremely helpful from the first phone call through the day-of. We live in Colorado and had to plan the wedding remotely; she sent us tons of info on ceremonies via email and helped us think through all of the details that were needed. We met face-to-face two days before the wedding when she invited the two of us to her home to rehearse. Our ceremony had many complicated parts, with props for tree unity ceremony and wishing rocks, but Kathy knew just what to do and helped to make it a smooth process. She was easy-going, but extremely professional and took care of so many things that it made the wedding day relaxing and fun for us.

    Rev. Kathy was the perfect choice for our wedding. We planned a destination wedding from three states away. Rev. Kathy made time to interview with us via Skype, and her open-heartedness and organization appealed to us instantly. After making the easy choice to request her services, Rev. Kathy offered a myriad of selections to create a service unique to us and the marriage that would blend our two families. Rev. Kathy made time to meet with us the day before the wedding to walk through ceremony details. We were so relaxed when working with her. Rev. Kathy literally climbed a mountain for us to be at our wedding. There were a few bumps in the road on the wedding day, and Rev. Kathy went with the flow. When I walked "down the aisle" toward my husband-to-be, with Rev. Kathy at his side, I felt that I was among friends. We would highly recommend Rev. Kathy to every engaged couple looking for an intimate and personal wedding. We wish her the best in all of her endeavours.

    We loved Kathy! She was extremely prompt in all of her replies, very willing to listen to our ideas & help stay true to what was important to us, & gave us numerous examples & her professional advice to help us create our dream ceremony. She made sure is was seamless & even helped to coordinate the ceremony on our wedding day. We also wanted to add a comedic skit to our ceremony & she jumped right on board & helped us plan it. And our guests haven't stopped raving about her. She is truly a professional & a master of her craft. Because of her our wedding day was stress free & perfect.

    Kathy did a fabulous job at our wedding ceremony. She was very easy to meet with and had excellent communication throughout the entire process, she explained everything and answered all our questions quickly. She had great ideas for customizing our ceremony to fit us as a couple, we included some really beautiful and unique elements like the 'Hand Ceremony', everyone loved our ceremony! A few hours before the ceremony, we had to change sites due to rain and we couldn't decide where to have it- Kathy stepped up and took charge and helped us choose the best location and it ended up being even better than the original site. Overall, she is a wonderful minister who gave us a beautiful and memorable ceremony, extremely professional and down to earth, a wealth of knowledge, and the perfect person to have around when things are not going as planned. I'm so glad we found her and we will definitely recommend her to everyone!

    Rev. Jennings made my partner and my ceremony perfect. As we went to DC and were legally married two days before since NC doesn't have Equality Rights. So Rev. Jennings did more of a commitment ceremony since that's all that is legally allowed. The ceremony she put together was beautiful and our friends and family are still talking about it.. I would highly recommend Rev. Jennings to anyone especially same sex couples!!

    Kathy was such an amazing wedding officiant, she was so supportive and easy to talk to. It felt like we knew her forever. Our wedding day was like an amazing fairy tale come true. I really felt like a princess, and thanks to Kathy for all her help and support, it will never be forgotten. We had a bilingual ceremony and it was so heartwarming to know both of our families could understand what was being said. We had so many compliments on how beautiful our ceremony was, people still tell us it was the best they've ever been to. We would recommend kathy to everyone.

    Kathy did an absolutely wonderful job as our wedding officiant, especially given that we were planning our wedding and ceremony from the other side of the continent! She was so helpful, and provided great ideas and suggestions that suited us as a couple. The ceremony was beautiful, and we had people come up to us all evening to tell us that it was the best one they had ever seen. We would highly recommend Kathy to anyone!

    Rev. Kathy was amazing! My husband and I are not religious but still wanted a traditional wedding, Rev. Kathy really worked with us. We live in Chicago and had a destination wedding in Brevard, NC. Rev. Kathy set up a skype conversation so we could conduct an interview- we loved her immediately! She was very personable and professional! She made the entire thing stress free, especially since we didn't get to have a rehearsal! She helped us create our own ceremony that was beautiful and completely us. She was the icing on the cake!

    Kathy was a blessing for us to find. She made us feel comfortable and relaxed from the beginning. After my initial conversation with her I knew she was perfect for us. We met with her one weekend and she was as nice in person as she was on the phone. I wish this was a service I could use her again but unfortunately you only get married once :) I will definitely recommend her to everyone I know. Our special day would not have been the same without her!!!!

    Kathy was very easy to work with, very friendly, and very, very helpful when writing the ceremony. Even though we only met on the day of the ceremony, it really felt as though we knew each other already. I would highly recommend her.

    Rev. Kathy did a fantastic job as the officiant for our wedding at The Venue in downtown Asheville! She was professional, caring and the perfect fit for us. She considered our needs throughout the entire process and was flexible during our wedding rehearsal. I highly recommend Rev. Kathy as a wedding officiant!

    Kathy Jennings is a wonderful, and great hearted person. She was very helpful and attentive to make our wedding the most special day of our life. She is very creative and open minded, my husband and i had a very quaint and simple ceremony that we planned in about a week. Our ceremony was a country themed wedding, and i rode up on horse back and had my father help me off the horse to give me away. We had everyone facing the mountain range which was one of the most beautiful places that anyone could have their special day. We have a son and we wanted to do something to involve him to but we weren't exactly sure what,then Kathy suggested that we have a sand ceremony, which was absolutely perfect. We couldn't have done it so perfectly with out Kathy's experience and her very wise mind. I was absolutely satisfied with all of her help and service. I would recommend her for any type of wedding or ceremony! 5 stars! Thank you so much Kathy!

    Kathy was extremely helpful in helping us plan our wedding. She had great suggestions and examples. She helped me think of details I had fogotten. She was very patient even though I did some things at the last minute. She was warm and open with great sincerity. I highly recommend her as a wedding officiant. She traveled a great distance for us which was appreciated. She was there early and looked very professional.

    Derek and I cannot say enough wonderful words about Rev. Kathy Jennings. She helped to make our ceremony more beautiful and special than we could have hoped. Most of our guests have told us it was the most beautiful ceremony they have ever seen, and of course, we couldn’t agree more. From the moment we made contact, she was sincere, professional, and supportive. Writing our own service was a daunting task, but Rev. Kathy listened to our needs and guided us throughout the process with fantastic results. Our ceremony was unique while maintaining the traditions we value, and perfectly reflected our love for one another. When it came time to perform the ceremony, Rev. Kathy was a calming, positive presence on such a momentous day.

    Additionally, we were so happy we took her up on the offer of a pre-marital counseling session. It was a wonderful opportunity for my fiancé and I to reflect on our relationship during the whirlwind of wedding planning. We learned things about ourselves and each other that will help us grow together and strengthen our bond throughout our life together.

    Derek and I are so grateful to Rev. Kathy for making our special day even more extraordinary and would not hesitate to recommend her services to anyone!

    From our very first meeting with Rev. Jennings we knew that the most important part of our wedding was in the hands of a truly beautiful, loving and spritual person. Her ideas for the service easily blended with ours to produce a ceremony that all who attended were moved by and made compliments about.

    Our ceremony was the most important part of our wedding. Kathy helped us decide on all the details of the ceremony from the entrance to the exit. Kathy's inspirational and spiritual words touched us both and added much love. Thank you for making our day perfect.

    Rev. Kathy is simply wonderful! We had a great overall experience from the initial meeting to preparing our vows, and than our special day. Kathy is very professional with a very warm and comforting personality – that is what one truly needs when planning a wedding and all of its many details. Her smile lights up all of our pictures! ♥

    Kathy is a genuine, passionate, professional, caring officiant. Our ceremony was very simple, though Kathy made it unique and meaningful to us as a couple with her expert advice, excellent suggestions, and arrangement of the ceremony. She is calming, patient, and organized. Her delivery of the ceremony was beautiful with many compliments from family and friends after the wedding day. Her hard work behind the scenes with completing paperwork was a necessity, we are so lucky to have her be our officiant. We would definitely recommend her to all of our friends and family.

    This was our second wedding and we were reluctant at first to select our online wedding officiant. We couldn't have been happier with our selection of Kathy. She proved to be very caring, professional, and well organized which helped set our minds at ease and create a very personal ceremony. Her experience proved valuable in suggesting details to help make our garden ceremony run smoothly and make it uniquely ours. We received many compliments from our family and friends about our ceremony and attribute this to Kathy. We would highly recommend her to other couples.

    Kathy was the first step in our elopement process. Prior to chatting with her on the phone both my husband and I were feeling very targetted by wedding vendors and up to that point frustrated since we just wanted a simple and no fuss ceremony. Kathy brought us to a great place of calm and after confirming her as our officiant everything fell into place. Kathys focus is not just on the ceremony but also on what is much more important- the marrige itself. Her "writing your marriage vision" exercise was very helpful in guiding us in writing our vows. She was also very respectful of my husband and I's differing spiritual/ religious beliefs. I have already recommended her to a couple looking to elope in Asheville- Rev. Kathy is a great find!

    We were very happy to have found Kathy Jennings through a friend. She made us feel comfortable from the very first meeting and helped us through each step of the planning process. She gave us ideas and helped us to create our own personalized ceremony that truly reflected us. She was very professional, friendly and brought a great energy to our special day. She took care of all the details after the ceremony which made it a completely stress free day for us! Our family members all commented on what a wonderful ceremony we had and how personalized it was. Thank you for everything, Kathy. We really appreciate it! We would very highly recommend Kathy!

    Most couples don't have the opportunity to work with Kathy twice in 6 months! Chad and I couldn't wait for our October 2011 wedding in the mountains and save the dates had been sent out. Unfortunately, we then had an illness in the family and decided to move the ceremony up several months. We were so fortunate to find Kathy, who helped us with every step to create an intimate ceremony that really reflected the two of us. Despite having to plan everything so quickly, Kathy really made the effort to get to know us ahead of time. She was so friendly, an incredible speaker, extremely professional and made us feel at ease. Our wedding couldn't have been more perfect!

    Our reception was still planned for October, but having kept our ceremony private, we decided to repeat the ceremony for family, friends and attendants. We were disappointed initially to discover that Kathy was already booked that date/time. She was so wonderful the first go-around, that we ended up changing the time of our wedding so that she could officiate! She helped us tweak the ceremony, offered helpful advice and even made several 'dry runs' to find the quickest route from the first ceremony to ours. Guests offered so many compliments regarding both the ceremony and Kathy- she is truly wonderful!! We would highly recommend Kathy for your special day! Susan and Chad

    Kathy provided us with excellent service as our wedding officiant! We wanted someone who would preform a non-religious ceremony and who offered pre-marital counseling services. We went through the Prepare/Enrich program with Kathy and felt that it gave us a good connection to her, so it didn't feel that a stranger was performing our ceremony. She gave us many examples of others' wedding ceremonies and from that we pieced together a beautiful and meaningful ceremony that was perfect for us! Her kind and gentle demeanor was perfect and she set our minds at ease when we felt that we weren't rehearsed enough for the big day. Everything flowed beautifully under her direction. Even our guests raved about Kathy and wanted to know where we found her... I would definitely recommend her for your ceremony!

    Rev Kathy was excellent during our wedding planning and ceremony! She provided me with a variety of sample ceremonies and ideas for personalizing our ceremony, and worked with us to help the different aspects of our ceremony to flow. My husband had been relocated to a different state 2 months prior to our wedding, and Kathy was able to meet with me in person and Skype my husband in to discuss our ceremony prior to the wedding! She was well organized and helped get the logistics figured out at the rehearsal so there was no stress come wedding day!

    Kathy was a pleasure to work with. My husband contacted her via email and they had a delightful phone conversation. I later skyped with Kathy as we worked our the final details. She provided us with many samples to chose from and when nothing fit quite right she allowed us to customize our ceremony to fit our situation/wants/needs. She arrived early to both the rehearsal, and day-of. Kathy was well-spoken, friendly, understanding, and very open and accomodating to all our suggestions/changes.

    Kathy was able to help us create a beautiful ceremony that was meaningful to us and memorable to our guests. We have received many compliments on our ceremony! She shared many examples of vows, blessings, and readings to inspire us and build upon- we were free to change wordings and the order around so it fit our vision. Kathy brought a lot of fun energy to the table during the planning process and took time to get to know us! She even visited our venue beforehand to get a feel for the ceremony space. Kathy kept us on schedule and organized in the planning process so we felt prepared for our big day. Thank you Kathy!

    We chose Kathy as our Officiant as we felt most comfortable speaking with her on the phone compared with other vendors. She was very down to earth yet professional. She was very accommodating with providing us with examples and open to us creating our own ceremony. She was also helpful in discussing with us ways of preparing ourselves for our ceremony as it was very emotional for us both. We would rate her higher overall if it wasn't for a few key things that we had discussed and wanted incorporated. These being: which side each of us were standing on (she switched us after walking down in front of everyone which resulted in the sun beaming at the bride instead of behind which was discussed with her and photographers) and she also changed who we appointed (and gave the privilege) to hold our vow box without asking us and in front of all of our guests. These were key factors for us which is why we rated her lower. She was very professional otherwise and does a great job at helping relieve "butterflies/jitters" and keeping everything on track/time.

    We found Reverend Kathy looking for a non-denominational officiant for our wedding near Asheville, and were impressed with her professionalism and responsiveness - it was a great relief to be able to reach her, discuss our needs, and be done.

    Because we were out of town, Reverend Kathy worked with us over Skype and email to arrange our ceremony, and sent us several examples to pull ideas and information from. The entire process was relatively stress free, and left us with a meaningful ceremony that tied together the wedding nicely. She was very respectful of what our desires for a ceremony were, and didn't impose her own views or beliefs on what it "should be", and we were able to discuss ahead of time exactly what she was going to say to make sure it reflected our vision.
