I'm Kate.

Hey friends, I'm Kate. I love kettle cooked chips, steaks cooked medium rare and pie!

 

I didn’t originally set out to become a wedding officiant — I spent fifteen years as a wedding planner, helping couples bring their day to life behind the scenes. In 2018, I decided to get ordained simply as a safety net for my clients. My thought was: if the unexpected ever happened and their officiant couldn’t perform the ceremony, I could step in and make sure they were legally married no matter what. Thankfully, I never had to use it… but it changed my path.

​

In 2020, when weddings suddenly looked very different, a photographer friend and I began offering micro-weddings from her studio. I coordinated the day and performed the ceremonies while she captured the moments — and I quickly realized how much I loved being at the center of the story, not just organizing it.

​

When she relocated in 2023 and I completed my final planning season in 2024, it felt like the natural next step to focus fully on officiating.

​

My ceremonies are never stiff or scripted for the sake of tradition. I believe the moments people remember most are the ones that feel genuine — heartfelt, personal, and sometimes even a little funny. I create customized ceremonies that reflect who you truly are as a couple, whether that includes faith elements, modern touches, something completely untraditional, or even a full costume theme wedding.

​

All couples are welcome here. Love is love, and your ceremony should feel comfortable, meaningful, and unmistakably yours.
