My wife and I were in a tough spot due to an unresponsive officiant with our wedding quickly approaching. So, we put out a request on Thumbtack a week before our wedding, and were lucky to have found Kelsey. Kelsey immediately responded, and set up a Zoom call for us to chat. She was very thorough and kind and amenable to our request to have the wedding ceremony done the way we wanted (non-religious). Everything was professional and affordable. On the day of our wedding, Kelsey was on time and the ceremony went perfectly. I would strongly recommend Kelsey for couples who want either a religious or non-religious ceremony. She really came through for us!

We could not have asked for a more wonderful experience with Rev. Kelsey Kresse as our officiant. We wanted an intimate, faith-centered ceremony before our larger wedding, and Rev. Kelsey made that vision come to life beautifully. She was incredibly warm and responsive, taking the time to meet with us and thoughtfully plan the ceremony. Communication was seamless, and her caring presence added so much to our special day. Our ceremony was everything we had hoped for and more, and having Rev. Kelsey there made it truly unforgettable.

Kelsey was AMAZING and so friendly and warm. While she is a pastor, we opted for a nonreligious wedding. I wasn’t sure how the format of the ceremony would be without the religious aspect and I wasn’t sure what to do for vows, but Kelsey had a prompt available that resonated with us and said everything we wanted to say. On the big day she was prompt, professional, and made us feel at ease. I even said it felt like we were 3 good old friends hanging out up at the arch during the ceremony. I highly recommend inviting Kelsey to be a part of your day, too!
