    Amazing & personal ceremony!

    We cannot begin to express how glad we are to have stumbled upon Rev through an online search. She is amazing. Rev understood who we were so quickly through chatting with us and this is because of the care and time she put in to asking us great questions so she could get to know us and our story. She is kind, genuinely interested to learn about us and immediately made us feel at ease while talking to her. She took such care in crafting the words for our ceremony.

    Our wedding was a perfect balance of calm, emotional, happy and momentous. We didn't want a super formal ceremony, nor super romantic (although we're sure Rev would do an amazing job with that kind of ceremony too) - we really wanted to share our story with laughter and light heartedness.

    Our friends and family could not stop talking about how wonderful our ceremony was and all said it was the most personal and best wedding ceremony they have attended. Many of our guests assumed that Rev was a close personal friend that we asked to officiate because of how well she knew our story and were surprised when we told them otherwise!

    We're so grateful to have found Rev, for her giving us such a wonderful ceremony, and we really hope to remain in touch as friends now!

    No amount of words can say how happy we are

    We cannot say enough about the Rev.! From beginning to end she has been nothing but genuine and easy to work with. It is clear how much she loves what she does and how much she loves working with her couples. Her words left us happy crying, laughing, feeling, and being in the moment. When we asked her to make a couple corrections/suggestions she had no problem editing and wasn't going to settle until the final product was perfect. Multiple guests at the wedding came up to us after the ceremony and commented on how her words were so beautiful and well worded.

    A beautiful ceremony with many compliments!

    Katherine was so wonderful and was easy to work with and gave us some samples to help guide what we wanted her to say, as well as a questionnaire for us to talk about each other. In the end, she gave us a beautiful ceremony, which many of our friends and family complimented afterwards and asked us how we found her because they loved it so much. She created a custom ritual for us that was perfect for the moment that involved some favorite snacks.

    Rev is the closest thing to perfect!

    Rev was by far the best 'vendor' at our micro wedding. She was on time and helped make our wedding day the best day of our lives! Prior to our wedding day, Kat took the time to get to know us each individually. Her communication was perfect! Her price is very reasonable considering she offers a custom ceremony speech or a standard one. I would HIGHLY recommend Rev for any wedding. We love you, Rev!

    Wonderful!

    Reverend Katherine Dupree officiated our wedding on August 19 -- she was amazing! Our coordinator gave us a list of possible officiants and Katherine was the first we contacted. During the first Zoom call, Kurt and I knew she was the person we wanted to marry us. She found the perfect words to reflect our love and our respect for each other. Afterwards, our guests spoke to us about the beauty of Katherine's service and most thought she had to have known us for years. Katherine, thank you -- you made our day :-)

    Reverend Katherine was fantastic! She is friendly, professional, easy to work with. She made sure to make our day felt special even though we were getting married within a short period of time.

    Professional and Easy to Work With!

    Katherine was so easy to work with. When initially meeting with us, she did a great job of getting to know what we wanted out of our ceremony/wedding. She had some pre-made scripts to give us a few options to work off of. From there, we were able to collaborate on a couple minor tweaks to make sure it worked for us.

    The day of the wedding, Katherine was very professional. She made us feel comfortable, and helped us make sure all the minor details were taken care of.

    Overall, we would highly recommend Katherine!

    A walking dream

    Reverend Katherine Dupree is freaking amazing. We were nervous to work with an officiant we didn't know but Rev took the time to get to know us-- our history and our values and crafted a ceremony that was us through and through. She led with patience and kindness and was an absolute joy to work with. We literally cannot say enough good things. Everyone was commenting on how special our ceremony was. If you're wondering whether to book Reverend Katherine Dupree -- this is me telling you to DO IT! You won't regret it!

    Rev is the absolute BEST!

    Booking Rev was one of the best decisions I made during wedding planning. She took the time to get to know my husband and me and made our ceremony so special. She was such a highlight of my wedding day & my ceremony will always be such a great memory because of her.

    Best officiant ever!

    Katherine was incredible. We did a semi-custom ceremony, so she sent us a bunch of pre-written ceremonies and we picked our favorite parts. She used those, as well as called two of our friends for input and stories, to make a wonderful and truly personal ceremony. Thank you Katherine!

    Amazing, kind, professional!!!

    Reverend Kat is the greatest!!! She was the most amazing, and easiest vendor for us to find and match with. As soon as we talked with her, we knew she was going to do an amazing job for our wedding ceremony. Not only did Katherine dedicate time to writing customized scripts for our ceremony, but she got to know our love story and us as individuals. Plus she’s super cool! 🤍 highly recommend you hire her!

    Rev Kath made our ceremony dreams come true

    When my spouse and I decided to get married, I knew in an instant that Rev Kath Dupree had to be the officiant. Rev Kath and I had overlapping social circles so I had met her once or twice at events and each time was drawn to her warm and curious energy. She also married a couple of friends and their experience was perfect. But, by the time of our wedding planning, my partner and I were living in Connecticut, she was living in VA, and our wedding was going to be back in North Carolina. Oh and also, the wedding was in four months. That didn't faze her at all. She interviewed us, interviewed two close friends, used a template with lots of unique touches, and the outcome was the most perfect words. She gave us her copy of her words after our ceremony and I'll cherish those pages for the rest of my life. She also did all the legal stuff so that we could just request our marriage license a couple weeks later and voila, it appeared in the mail. Rev, we love you for what you gave us on April 8, 2023. Thank you! May many future weddings be blessed with her presence.

    The best ever

    I am not exaggerating when I say at least 30 people asked me if Katherine was a family member or close personal friend because the ceremony felt so authentic and personalized. She was incredible to work with and really helped make our day feel so meaningful, I cannot recommend her services enough. In addition to absolutely crushing it on our big day she is also just a really awesome human being!

    The Best Decision We Made

    Choosing Rev was the best decision we could’ve made. She was a safe space for us when trying to navigate a ceremony that truly felt like “us”. Trying to find someone who we would authentically represent our story was one of the most daunting wedding tasks -- until the second we met Rev, when we knew that she would take our story, protect it, and express it in a way more beautiful than we could've imagined.

    Our whole ceremony was laughing, crying, and everything in between. Rev truly has a talent for storytelling like no one I have ever met before. Our guests talk about how amazing our ceremony was every time our wedding comes up. Rev will make your ceremony uniquely you.

    She also helped my husband and I with our vows – I came to her with a random list of ideas and she gave me the most creative ideas about how to structure them. That ceremony was truly a highlight of my life, thanks to Rev

    Rev Katherine Dupree is awesome!

    Katherine is amazing! She called to meet with me before the wedding to chat and get to know us and what we envisioned for our ceremony. In the months leading up to our wedding she reached out every so often to check in to see if we needed anything. The ceremonies she writes are beautifully written and really hit home for us and our guests. After our wedding, Katherine’s ceremony was one of the main things people said that they loved about our day! During our ceremony, there were a couple of mishaps with babies crying/our sound guy making noises. Katherine brushed right over them on the fly and made sure that nothing was awkward and that attention was still on us (like a true pro). Hire Katherine, you’ll be so glad that you did!

    Amazing!

    We can not speak highly enough of Rev Katherine! She made us feel so comfortable and at ease during the ceremony planning process, listened to all of our input, and even reached out to our families to add an extra touch of love into our ceremony. The ceremony she designed was more than we could have ever imagined, and all of our guests loved how charismatic she was. We had an "unfiltered" type of script, and Katherine balanced the "real-talk" with the formality (despite her having to quote one of us using the f-word lol)

    Highly recommend her for any type of ceremony, and wishing her all the best!!

    Love her!!

    Katherine is the best!!
    Our initial meeting with her was super in depth and cool. She asked us a ton of questions about our relationship and each other, and then she used all that to compile an amazing ceremony script for us. It was so personal and sweet, and included observations that we didn't even notice about ourselves.
    I've loved following along on her instagram and seeing how enthusiastic she is about all of her couples. She really made us feel like friends the whole way through. And she took some great snapshots at our wedding, which was super appreciated.
    She also took care of mailing our marriage license, which had been on my list of things that were stressing me out because we were leaving for our honeymoon right after. And she sent us all the information about how to obtain the license, order copies, etc. It took a lot off my plate having all that info from her.
    It was super important to us that we hire all queer friendly vendors, and there couldn't be a more queer friendly vendor than Katherine! All around she's just a rockstar and you won't regret hiring her for your wedding.
    We would highly recommend her any day.

    The right choice to tell our story.

    One of the hardest vendors to choose for us, was our officiant. Not because we didn't want one but because we had ZERO idea how to choose. The weddings I've been to in my life, I remember exactly none of the officiants. That being said, I did not want the same for our wedding.

    There was a common thread throughout our wedding plans-we wanted our guests to leave knowing us a little better. When I saw Katherine's social media and website, I knew she would be the one to keep that thread running right through our ceremony. Y'all, when I say I was right, I mean-not a dry eye in the house right.

    Katherine took so much time to actually know us. Not only that, she took time to get to know EVERYTHING about us, including my love's young son. She was patient, she listened, and she crafted the most stunning, memorable ceremony. A ceremony that wasn't about religion or our extended family or anything else. It was about us. It was about our story, our love, and our future.

    If you are looking for someone to really hear you when you tell them about your story, Katherine is your choice. Hands down. We owe every tear, every laugh, and every line that taught out guests something about us to her.

    An absolute gem

    Reverend Katherine is an absolute gem to work with! I knew right upon meeting Katherine that she was the one we'd want to marry us. Right away she was such a friendly, welcoming individual and you could tell she really wanted to get to know my partner and I as both individuals and as a couple. We were able to pick and choose pieces of ceremonies we liked, while also having our own story intertwined, and Katherine was able to curate most beautiful ceremony that was so incredibly us! It was deep, told our story, painted a picture, while also sneaking in some laughs. She delivered our ceremony so genuinely and like she knew us for years. After our ceremony, our guests kept telling us how amazing Katherine was!

    We 100% recommend Reverend Katherine, you won't regret it!

    We loved Rev. Katherine!!!!

    Where do I even start! We interviewed quite a few officiants for our wedding to find exactly what we were looking for and let me tell you, Rev. Katherine met all of our expectations and then some. From our first interview, she absolutely had me in tears asking all of the right questions and really taking the time to get to know us as individuals and as a couple. Once we got the draft of our ceremony from her, we were blown away! She captured us so beautifully. We had several friends and family come up to us after the ceremony completely in awe by what she had said. It will be something about our special day that I know we will never forget. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts, Katherine, for making our day so, so special. If you're lucky enough to have found her in your search, BOOK HER!

    Look no further! She’s the ONE!

    I knew as soon as I had the first zoom call with Katherine that she would be a perfect match to be the officiant at the celebration of our perfect match! She was so responsive, personable- her quirky awesomeness and style was just an amazing breath of fresh air! When it came down to the words she wrote for our custom elopement ceremony we had no idea how much she knew about us! It was absolute perfection- silly, serious, passionate…it had it all and she touched all bases (and heart strings). I could not stop watching the video of our ceremony and when watching with friends and family there was no dry eyes! Such a very very pleasant surprise! It wasn’t just her words that made our day so special but her presence as well! With her and the remainder of our team- we truly felt we were surrounded by our best friends!!

    An authentic chameleon!

    I loved working with Katherine! No other human being on this Earth could've possibly pulled off officiating so elegantly the very untraditional circus of a ceremony we created. She is truly an authentic chameleon! She intuitively understood our values and how to navigate the various 'traditions', deciding which to keep and which to toss. Her sample script was a great foundation to work from, and she worked tirelessly alongside us to mold it into shape while we took it all apart and put it back together many times.
