Kim officiated our fall wedding, and she was wonderful! Our ceremony was non-religious and pretty straightforward, but she still managed to bring a personal touch. We would definitely recommend to any other couples!

Kimmy was a perfect fit to officiate our wedding. She aligned seamlessly with our desire for a low key, simple, intimate ceremony (I am sure she could accommodate the opposite too). We didn’t want cookie cutter, so she helped us by providing some structure for the ceremony, as well as suggesting ideas for vows. She was a great listener, responsive, punctual and dignified. I appreciate her real connection (!) and the quality of work she did for a very reasonable price. for a very rea

Kim did such a wonderful job officiating our small, intimate ceremony. She made the process easy and stress-free, working with us on a short timeline. Her guidance, sweet words and comforting presence was just what we were hoping for. She helped make a special day even more special!

FAQs
What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
My services are a flat fee. There are no additional fees unless the distance exceeds 35 miles or if I need to purchase special clothing or items for the ceremony.
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
I typically send out a contract, and two questionnaire links to couples. The first is an informational questionnaire about their ceremony. The second is a relationship questionnaire to help me craft your script. I customize a script based on the information and feedback from the couple. I meet with or talk to couples on the phone, via zoom (google meet), or in person 1-2 times to introduce myself, get to know the couple, and review the ceremony script. I believe it's important for the couple to review the script and I encourage feeback before the script is finalized.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
Prior to becoming an educator, I was a corporate event planner and I also worked in a bridal salon. I am an avid writer and have self published two children's books. I am also a presenter and trainer who speaks to teachers about various technology innovations within the field of education. While my education is not directly related to this field, my MA in education, ESL endorsement, and SEL certification has provided me the skills to be an effective writer and speaker and to collaborate with couples to understand their personal and cultural preferences for their ceremony.
