    Perfection

    I first met Kayelily when she performed my good friends wedding ceremony. When I got engaged she was the first vendor information I sought out. She is truly gifted and does an amazing job personalizing the ceremony for you and your spouse. Many people commented with how special our ceremony was and my mother-in-law said it was her favorite part. Don't hesitate to have Kayelily perform your ceremony- it will be magnificent!!!!!

    Caring and Responsive Officiant

    Kayelily was great to work with. She was flexible and took into account our preferences and wishes for our ceremony. She offered us a script to review based on information we'd shared with her about our lives and experiences. Her script was personalized and so very meaningful. It could not have been a better reflection of our feelings and commitment to one another.

    Lovely and personal

    I am so thrilled with our experience with Kayelily. She was there for us every step of the way and took her time to learn about us. The touches she added to our ceremony were incredibly moving and I don't think there was a dry eye in the house! I heard such lovely feedback on how personal and meaningful our ceremony was. It really felt so reflective of us as a couple. Kayelily clearly finds so much joy in what she does, and it made us feel so special. She also helped us with the logistics of the rehearsal and license process, making sure we had everything we needed. She kept us on time and on schedule with kindness and humor. Can't recommend her enough.

    The best officiant around!

    “I think that was the best wedding ceremony I’ve been to!” - many of our guests during cocktail hour. Our ceremony was just perfect and that wouldn’t have been possible without Kayelily. We wanted a personalized ceremony that was a reflection of our love story and Kayelily helped us bring that to life. She gave us all the tools so we could write the ceremony of our dreams. But a story is only as good as the story teller and Kayelily has a gift- she’s a great story teller.
    Our ceremony was amazing and we do believe that’s because we had such a great rehearsal and that’s thanks to Kayelily! She was organized and patient and helped everyone know their marks so there were no questions on the wedding day. Her perfect 5-star reviews speak for themselves! If you need an officiant, look no further!

    Wedding Ceremony

    Kayelily was extremely professional, sweet, and detailed oriented. She takes time to learn about your relationship to make a beautifully written personalized vow. She even goes out of her way to share information on what the next steps are for name change. I would definitely recommend Kayelily's service!

    Wonderful from start to end

    Kayelily was able to provide my now husband and I, and our families, with an intimate ceremony that was beautiful and personal and was at a location and time of our choosing. Not only that, but she was responsive, thorough, and kind throughout the entire process- going above and beyond even after the ceremony ensuring our documents were sent in promptly and providing me details on name-change processes that I would need going forward. I would highly recommend Kayelily and her services to anyone looking for a simple ceremony that is still full of heart, and cannot thank her enough.

    Absolutely Perfection

    She is the best there is at what she does. From the way she writes your love story to the way she takes your guest on a magical journey of emotions is so beautiful. Kayelily and her husband Dave are such wonderful people we felt honored to have them at our ceremony.

    Unique and Authentic Ceremony

    I was lucky enough to see Kayelily officiate my cousin’s wedding. I knew then if I ever were to get married I wanted her to officiate it. When my fiancé and I got engaged, she was one of the first people I knew I had to book. We reached out and she luckily had our Friday the 13th date open!! We booked and from then on the communication was amazing. She cultivated the perfect ceremony and made it so emotional and authentic to us. She weaves together answers that both Michael and I gave to questions that she sends and narrated our love story. Michael and I did not want to read our own vows, but she has a secret paragraph that you hear the day of the wedding. It is perfect and many of our guests commented on the ceremony. Thank you, Kayelily, for being part of our day!

    Two Thumbs Up for Kayelily !

    Kayelily was outstanding for our wedding ceremony just the other weekend. She made the event extremely special and personable for both of us. Her delivery was strong, and she had amazing response time and customer service. She also provided lots of options for material for us to use. Two thumbs up indeed!

    Best Wedding Minister Out There!

    My husband and I made the perfect decision to select Kayelily for our ceremony. From our first conversation over the phone, you can tell she knew all things wedding/marriage related. She asked us 3 special questions and turned it into a love note, which was so beautiful. She also made us a marriage certificate and we will cherish it forever. Thank you so much for everything, Kayelilly. You would blessed to have her as your wedding minister.

    Excellent officiant!

    We recently had Kayelily officiate our wedding and we absolutely loved how our ceremony turned out! She allows the couple to help in the ceremony writing process so that it can be built to really make it feel so special, without being a ton of work. We really enjoyed working with her to create a wedding that felt true to us. Our guests were also impressed! I was shocked at how many compliments we received on the structure of the ceremony as well as Kayelily's delivery. I highly recommend Kayelily if you want a truly special wedding!

    Amazing Service

    Kayelily was amazing; she was extremely organized which we believe is one of the most important qualities in a wedding minister. She gave us great instructions on how and when to get the marriage license as well as how to change the name once the marriage has taken place. She was very responsive and arrived early to finalize the flow of the wedding and make sure everything was in place. She also offered a unique spin on the service that we thought was really great. I would highly highly recommend her!

    Amazing - still getting compliments

    Kayelily was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. We almost went with a different officiant before we heard about Kayelily and we are so glad we didn’t. She is organized, experienced, and so sweet. She helps you come up with the ceremony of your dreams. She wears a microphone which is so nice because I have been to so many weddings where I could not hear the officiant. My grandparents sat on the porch of our venue - which was quite far from her and they heard everything perfectly. We had so many people compliment our ceremony and people are still talking about it, and how well she did, 1 month later! Whether you want traditional or something more modern, she helps you tailor your ceremony to fit you as a couple. I really could not recommend her more! 10/10.

    A very personal and soulful wedding experience for ourselves and our guests.

    Kayelily worked with us in the weeks prior to our wedding guiding us on what to share with our guests, how to incorporate our children and parents into the ceremony as well. Her demeanor is very warm and welcoming. Our guests told me they thought she'd known us for years. She is very professional while also being very down to earth. I also loved what she wore to our ceremony and she matched our colors too! She thinks of all the details and it made the process so easy. Do not hesitate to call Kayelily!

    Wonderful Personal and Professional Ceremony

    Kayelily was so sweet and professional throughout the process of preparing our ceremony. Her experience shines through in her suggestions for word count and flow to deliver a ceremony that our guests were raving about at the reception. She was very accommodating to our ceremony touches that were personal to our family and had endless number of ideas that she shared with us as we came up with our own vows to exchange with our kids and each other. Highly recommend working with her!

    Not only was she professional, she was very sweet and extremely helpful with steps I needed to take to gain my marriage license and then what to do after. It’s a busy time and I needed all the help I could get!!

    Perfect Officiant and Ceremony

    Working with Kayelily was amazing!! She customized the entire ceremony based on selections that we made and our personal love story. She was super detailed and made sure that we were 100% ready for our special day. The ceremony could not have been more perfect. We absolutely recommend Kayelily to anyone looking for an officiant!!!

    Very flexible, accommodating, and overall best officiant!!

    Kayelily deserves a 10 star review! She was incredibly helpful even months before the wedding. On our first Zoom call with her we immediately clicked and knew she would do an outstanding job. We had a slight weather delay for our ceremony but Kayelily did an amazing job of adjusting the ceremony script in order to get everyone to cocktail hour on time because she knew how important that was to us. We would highly recommend her to anyone planning their wedding!

    The BEST officiant!!!!

    We got married 05/20/22 -- Kayelily was always quick to reply to us, easy to work with, and supplied us with more than enough material to help us create the ceremony of our dreams. Kayelily stood out from other officiants because she really guides you and allows you to put together your story in a ceremony that (easily) represents you and your significant other. It was really customized to us, and it felt special. We didn't have an especially religious ceremony and felt comfortable with her; but we could have felt equally as comfortable if we were highly religious, she just makes you feel that at ease. We had so many people come to us after the ceremony and tell us they had never been to such a unique, intimate, special wedding ceremony before - and it's all thanks to Kayelily! I can't say enough how much we HIGHLY RECOMMEND KAYELILY!!!!

    5/5 stars, Amazing!

    Reverend Kayelily Middleton was a wonderful officiant for our wedding! She was professional, personable, and made the ceremony very enjoyable. I love that she personalized the ceremony to fit our style and made changes to the proposed ceremony when requested. Reverend Middleton went above and beyond, she was the "take charge" person that I needed for my small ceremony. I would definitely recommend her!

    Kayelily was our wedding officiant this past weekend and I can not say enough fabulous things! She was genuine, personable and organized! Our entire ceremony was perfect and owe it to her! She made our ceremony so personal which combined our stories of how we met and we couldn’t be happier with the end result!

    Professional and Knowledgeable

    Kayelily was amazing from beginning to end. Kayelily has a great process that allows couples to be involved in the planning and organizing of their ceremony - we were a little particular on how we wanted certain phrasing during the ceremony, and she absolutely rocked it. After the wedding, many, many people told us how much they enjoyed the ceremony and it was one of the better, well-paced ceremonies that they attended. Kayelily was worth every penny and I would recommend her services to absolutely anyone!
