We definitely would recommend Karen. My husband and I got married on June 22, 2024 Karen did an amazing job. She was very polite & She went over every single detail with my husband and I, and she made us feel very comfortable. Because we were very nervous, lol. But most of all, she was very understanding of our son, who is 5 years old and has autism. Karen was the perfect person to officiant our wedding. My husband and I thank her very much for marrying us.

Details: Wedding • Non-denominational (mentions God) • 51 - 100 guests • Help writing vows will not be needed • English • I'm flexible

Karen was amazing! Since “marriage” wasn’t something I seriously considered, I had NO idea what type of ceremony I wanted. She made some suggestions, and we fully embraced them. She even added the hand fasting ritualmy husband (boy, that sounds strange after 30+ years of being single) added fairly close to our wedding. She understood the unique challenges of combining lives and families close to retirement. This is completely different than getting married prior to (or during) raising children, and building careers. This was a micro ceremony (only us and Karen). We are planning on renewing our vows on our first anniversary, we hope Karen will be a part of that too!

My wedding was October 7th. Karen and I talked over the phone to secure my wedding date. She made me feel so comfortable and once we secured my date she was available anytime to answer my questions. I needed help with my vows because we weren't writing our own, she helped me with that and I'm so grateful she did! About a week from the wedding she sent me a rehearsal script for us to run through which was amazing. On the wedding day Karen made my husband and I feel so at ease, it couldn't have gone better. Karen thank you so much for making my wedding day so special!

Karen was extremely professional and organized. Her knowledge and thoroughness allowed us to create the perfect ceremony for our wedding. As the wedding approached, I decided to add a sand ceremony. Karen readily made the change , suggesting where to add the sand ceremony. The ceremony was perfect. I highly recommend Karen to tailor your ceremony to create the perfect wedding.

FAQs

What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
My lowest price is for a simple wedding within 20 miles of my home. Price does increase with distance and rehearsal if rehearsal requires a different day than the wedding. Discounts for Military personnel and Veterans.
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
I like to get to know the couple through initial phone conversation. I listen to what their wishes and expectations are for the wedding ceremony. Then provide suggestions that they , of course, may embrace or reject.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
Certified wedding planner for 20 years. Ordained to perform weddings in June 2020. If your wedding is going to take place in Pennsylvania, you may choose a self-uniting marriage license or standard. PA has no registry for state-approved wedding officiants. I am officially approved as an officiant ( minister) in Ohio and West Virginia. You can verify this on these state's websites. Maryland has no state- approval process, but online ordinations are unquestionably approved by that state.
