    Highly recommend

    Kayelily was excellent to work with before, during, and after our ceremony. She clearly mapped out what the possibilites were, worked with us to accomodate our preferences, and always communicated clearly and reliably in a timely manner. We are glad we went with her as the minister for our ceremony.

    Reverend Kayelily

    Kayelily was an excellent choice for our wedding officiant! She was easy to work with, and the quality of her work was truly exceptional. She wrote a beautiful script that perfectly captured our story and the love my husband Matt and I have for one another. She took the time to make sure the script was absolutely perfect, and the secret personalized paragraphs she included were a special touch that meant so much to us. Our ceremony was thoughtful, memorable, and everything we had hoped for. We highly recommend Kayelily to any couple looking for an officiant who will bring warmth, professionalism, and a personal touch to your wedding day.

    Best Wedding Officiant Ever!

    Reverend Kayelily did an incredible job officiating our wedding ceremony. Her communication style was clear, quick, and informative, putting us at ease throughout the entire process. Kayelily's work was truly compassionate, genuine, and heart-felt, as she understood the importance of our special day and wanted to fully share in the experience with us, not just observe. From providing a tissue to wipe our tears to joining our hands in unity, Kayelily's warmth and care made our ceremony all the more meaningful and special. We couldn't have asked for a better wedding officiant to guide us through this momentous occasion. We couldn’t be more thankful!

    Many thanks, Christina! Your wedding was beautiful and so sweet. I am honored to have joined you and Casey in marriage surrounded by your kids. A spectacular milestone in your lives. Wishing you always the best!

    We highlight recommend Kayelily!

    Kayelily was our officiant as recommended by our wedding planner, and she was fantastic! She prepared a beautiful ceremony for our small, intimate wedding. She asked thoughtful questions to understand what we were looking for when we first met, and used that to tailor it to us. We loved the way she structured the different sections of the ceremony - it was personal and thoughtful, and so incredibly joy-filled and meaningful. Our families thought it was beautiful and moving, as well, and loved the details she incorporated. She is so kind, and was a pleasure to work with - she responded quickly to emails, and asked for feedback along the way, and was so kind. She also made sure we understood the logistics and timing of getting the marriage license so we were fully prepared. We would highly recommend Kayelily as an officiant!!!!

    Thank you, Janna! I loved working with you and Scott to make the ceremony fit the two of you. Your wedding in a bookstore was so unique to the two of you. Many blessings!
