    We love kim!

    From the moment we met Kim via Zoom, we felt such warmth from her. Start to finish, she was a such a joy to communicate with. She listened to everything we said and crafted such a moving, humorous, and beautiful ceremony. Most guests came up to us afterwards at some point and said it was the best ceremony they'd ever witnessed, and that was largely due to Kim. She was punctual, attentive, positive, and efficient the whole way through. We LOVE Kim, and you will too!

    Amazing!

    We chose Rev. Kim for our ceremony and our experience was just fantastic. Leading up to the wedding, Kim was very kind, responsive, and organized. During the ceremony, I felt very at ease when she spoke—she used a perfect, warm tone with a touch of lightheartedness that my family later complimented as well. We expressed concerns that she handled so well, and I ended up not being as nervous as I originally thought I would be, all due to Kim. If you're in the market for a wedding officiant chose Rev. Kim, she is so so so wonderful! 1000/10

    Best officiant we could have asked for!

    Kim was an exceptional officiant to work with! We had our first meeting with her virtually to make sure we were a good fit for each other. Our second meeting closer to the wedding, she got to know our story and we hashed out the ceremony plan and she was very understanding of all the little details we wanted. The day of the wedding she arrived early and checked in with both of us. Her speech was lovely and she managed to capture our relationship perfectly while also getting a lot of tears and a few giggles out of the audience. Highly recommend!

    Kim Hodges is the absolute BEST!

    After deciding last minute to pivot from a church ceremony to a civil ceremony, my now husband and I weren't sure where to start in finding an officiant for our November wedding. After reading other reviews here, we thought Kim could be a good fit for us and after meeting her we absolutely KNEW she was the right person to marry us. She took the time to get to know us both and made us feel so comfortable throughout the process. She also took the time to ensure she really understood what elements of the ceremony were important to us to include/incorporate and did a beautiful job the day of in making sure those elements were brought to life in a natural way. If you are looking for an officiant we HIGHLY recommend setting time up with Kim to see if she's the right fit for you as well - we know our big day would not have been the same without her!!

    Rev Kim Hodges's reply:

    Thank you Karima! It was a joy working with you and Alex. You and your families were so welcoming and enjoyable. Best Wishes for many happy years together!

    Go ahead and hire her already!

    When I was researching wedding officiants, I had stumbled upon Kim and was taken aback by the wonderful reviews. I had decided to contact her and was very happy with her response time. Literally so fast! When my husband (then fiancé) and I first met Kim, we were more than pleased with how responsive she was. Kim really cares about her couples…and it shows! On the day of our wedding she was right on time and did such a wonderful job with our ceremony. We had a small, intimate wedding and Kim fit right into our vision. If you haven’t picked an officiant yet, go ahead and choose Kim. You WILL NOT be disappointed.

    Thanks again Rev Hodges!

    Amazing 🤩 and Perfect

    From day one she reached out and had so much information and things to choose from . She helped to make this part of the wedding planning easy and gave emotional support when needed and made the ceremony unforgettable. So many of my guest had nothing but wonderful things to say about how she did our ceremony. Would def highly recommend.

    Highly recommend!

    Rev Kim Hodges was amazing on our wedding day. She got to know my husband and I and was very helpful in helping us incorporate our family cultures and traditions. Her guidance for verses still mean so much to us post wedding. She kept in touch leading up to the wedding day, which we greatly appreciated. We are so grateful to have booked a wonderful officiant!

    Rev Kim Hodges's reply:

    I loved working with you and Tony! Such a fun and caring combined family. Thank you for letting me be a part of your celebrations!

    Rev. Kim Helped to Make Our Day Perfect

    My husband Philip and I loved having Rev. Kim as our officiant for our ceremony at Lesner Inn! We grew up with different religious backgrounds and decided to have a non-denominational ceremony which Kim was able to accommodate. We were able to Zoom with her a couple times to go over exactly what we wanted said (prayers, vows, exchange of rings, etc.). We were also able to incorporate an ode to hand fasting instead of using something like unity candles. She read a beautiful poem called “Blessing of the Hands” and used her stole to wrap around our hands to join us together. Our ceremony was perfect and exactly how I always wanted it to be!

    Rev Kim Hodges's reply:

    Always what an officiant wants to hear - "exactly how you wanted it to be!" Thank you for the honor!

    Rev Kim was a dream to work with!

    We found Rev Kim after extensive research for an officiant for a small family-only ceremony in September 2021. She responded to my inquiry right away and was amazing to work with from then on out. She really got to know Jared and me as a couple and helped us design our dream ceremony. She was also so detail-oriented; I remember being so impressed that she honed in on things like the phrasing of the question for my dad "who supports this woman in her decision" instead of "who gives this woman away" because to me, that felt outdated! Fast forward to the day itself and she was incredibly flexible as we kept pushing the start time back bit by bit to accommodate running behind schedule, and she greeted us with the calmest, most pleasant demeanor that we were instantly at ease, despite the stress of the day. Rev Kim made the ceremony itself so beautiful and fun, and we'll cherish our day forever!

    Wonderful experience

    Kim was perfect! She married my husband and I in Sandbridge, VA and gave us exactly what we asked for. She personalized our ceremony and made sure my son felt included. She was flexible and responsive with anything we needed. We couldn’t have asked for a better officiant.

    Great experience with Kim Hodges

    We held a multi-cultural, multi-religion wedding and Kim was such a pleasure to work with. She was not only accommodating but super engaged and supportive with regard to both cultures and religions. She was a consummate pro and was willing to take on everything we asked. I would highly recommend Kim.

    Rev Kim Hodges's reply:

    Yours was definitely one to remember - I loved being a part of bringing these two families and culture together to celebrate you both!

    Absolute gem!

    Kim was absolutely spectacular! We got married during covid which presented a lot of problems. It was an incredibly small ceremony but we wanted to be cautious bc I was 8 months pregnant and we had someone who has cancer with us. We needed someone who was willing to be understanding and cautious. She worked with us, was flexible and incredibly nice about everything.

    We loved Kim!

    When I was searching for an officiant I was of course looking at vendors photos and when I saw Kim’s, I immediately knew she was the one! I could instantly tell how kind her soul was from her smile! And I was not let down!!! She was absolutely amazing from start to finish! So incredibly helpful and flexible with helping us decide what we wanted spoken during our ceremony. She offered so many options and truly got to know us to customize our ceremony to us and our relationship. I got so many compliments from my guests on how kind, fun, and professional she was! I truly couldn’t have asked for anyone better!

    Kim is the best!

    We're so glad we had Kim officiate our wedding. She was so easy to work with leading up to the wedding and on the actual wedding day she was truly a joy. We had a torrential downpour and chilly wind gusts through our entire outdoor ceremony - we were all getting soaked - Kim kept a big smile, positive attitude, and good vibes through the entire thing - what a trooper. Thanks for making our day extra special, Kim!

    Personable, Friendly, and responsive!

    Kim was very responsive and flexible. I had a small wedding with just family in November 2020 and planned it in 4 weeks. She spent time on the phone getting to know us, and truly made the ceremony feel personable. We had a few specific things we wanted her to touch on, and she did just that. She was also willing to go with the flow given our ceremony was on the beach, so the location changed slightly the day before. She was early and ready to go. I would recommend Kim as the officiant to anyone planning a wedding!

    Rev Kim Hodges's reply:

    Kathleen - your wedding was such fun and was a beautiful day at the oceanfront. The two of you and your family brought such love - it was an honor to be a part of it!

    Truly amazing

    Rev Kim was phenomenal and provided a ceremonial service she was flexible to cater to. We contacted her when we were interested and got a quick response back from her. We met through video and we immediately wanted her to be our officiant. She was truly awesome and such an amazing soul!

    One of the best!

    We had hired Kim to be our officiant and couldn't have been more pleased with our choice! She was quick in contact and was with us every step of the way. Her kindness was shining bright in every conversation we had.

    Unfortunately, we had to postpone our wedding due to COVID-19 and Kim was unavailable for our date. We are super sad that we are unable to celebrate our big day with Kim leading the ship, but we are happy we found her none-the-less.

    If you stumble across Kim as we did, you will not regret it! She is AMAZING!!

    Rev Kim Hodges's reply:

    Thank you, McKenzie! I am so sad to not make your postponed date, and I know that your day will be beautiful! Best wishes to you two!

    Amazing Experience!

    When we decided to do a COVID mini wedding instead of our large wedding we were unsure who would marry us. After talking to a few people we decide on Kim and it was one of the best decisions we made! I was worried our ceremony would feel impersonal, but Kim went above and beyond to make it feel personal and about us. She helped guide us through the process by suggesting vows and readings and was incredible patient with us as we were a little behind schedule. I highly recommend Kim!

    Rev Kim Hodges's reply:

    Kim really is the kindest soul who will really work to make sure all of your love and individuality shines through in your ceremony. We also did pre-marital counseling with her and she did so much to help us prepare for our day and make sure it went so smoothly. Cannot recommend enough!

    Thank you Colleen! It was a lot of juggling to make it happen, but we did it! It was an honor to officiate for you!
