Ceremonies I Perform

As a wedding officiant I know that not every couple wants the same thing in a ceremony. Creating your ceremony and finding the right fit for your personality and budget is an important part of what I do.


My Ready to Go ceremony is for the couple that wants a no hassle ceremony, with little preparation and no choices to make. This ceremony is just what it says…ready to go.

 

The Mix and Match option is for couples who want a ceremony that combines all of their favorites. With this ceremony a couple gets access to eight of my pre-created ceremonies, each with a slightly different feel. Each Mix and Match package comes complete with my mix and match template. The mix and match tool allows you to pick and choose your favorite bits and pieces from any of the eight ceremonies, creating a more unique ceremony that speaks to you. 

 

Just for You is my custom ceremony option. For the couple that wants their own unique wedding ceremony, we work together to create something that is one of a kind. Your level of involvement in this process can be whatever you want it to be. Ultimately you have the final say for your ceremony creation. Just for You, custom ceremonies can include as many personal touches as you wish, anything from your own love story, to references about your hobbies, interests, favorite music or movies. There’s no limit to what we can create together! 

 

It's important to me that your experience is as stress free and easy as possible. I will be with you every step of the way, as you prepare for your ceremony.  Need help finding other vendors, please ask me. I have worked with some of the best in the business and I will gladly share their contact information with you.

 

I will reach out to you periodically between booking and your wedding day. Most importantly, whether you are a Florida or out of state resident, I will send information your way that will assist you in applying for your marriage license.

 

Because I am a notary public all of my ceremonies are secular (non-religious in nature). Couples may add readings, vows or other references that are significant to them.

 

I believe in love, and I will perform ceremonies for any couple wishing to enter the bonds of marriage that are able to secure an application for a Florida Marriage license. An initial phone or video consultation is included with all ceremony planning along with unlimited email or phone communication prior to the ceremony.

Love Notes from Happy Clients


Out of this world. It was amazing! Kelly has been a dream! She went over and above to make our day special. Kelly stepped in to help us with our day. After two postponements due to Covid, Kelly was able to make our date and truly did make it better than we could have hoped for. Her communication was fabulous. Nothing is a bother for her. We couldn’t recommend her more highly. It was a pleasure to finally meet with her in person and we did actually miss her when she left. A genuine star. You will be in safe hands with Kelly. We couldn’t be more grateful for her!

Rachael, ceremony at Disney’s Wedding Pavilion 

 

Kelly was absolutely amazing! She performed the perfect ceremony for us and was incredibly easy to work with. Kelly was nothing but accommodating, friendly and we could tell she absolutely LOVES her job. She was there to answer every question, help us come up with questions we didn't even think about and she even added custom subtle nods to our theme in the ceremony. Thank you, Kelly!

Corey, ceremony at Historic Dubsdread

 

Kelly made our wedding day so perfect! She performed the most beautiful ceremony and made us feel so comfortable and calm in a high-stress situation. So many of our guests commented about how beautiful the ceremony was and how much they loved what she read. We felt like we had known Kelly forever even though we only chatted a few times. She was so helpful with info about how to obtain the wedding license and sent multiple emails to check-in, which we really appreciated. Kelly was the perfect officiant- professional, kind, warm, and caring.

Sarah, ceremony at Menuello Museum of Art

 

Kelly was amazing from the moment I started working with her. She was always available to answer any crazy question I had via email, text, and phone calls. She met us at our rehearsal dinner to help us understand the flow of the ceremony. She brought props which were so helpful. Her personality fit right in like family! We made a lot of last minute changes and she never pushed back, she was always so willing to update and make the changes without hesitation. Even the day of the wedding we were tweaking things! She was easy to work with and she made our ceremony absolutely perfect even when my 5 month old starting crying. She made our wedding day perfect. I would highly recommend her!

Jamie, ceremony at Tavares Pavilion on the Lake

 

We couldn't be happier with our choice for officiant of our 10th anniversary vow renewal! Right from the first consultation call, Kelly was focused on us as she was trying to make our ceremony personal, proper, and unique. We loved that she took our personalities, family, wedding, etc. into account when creating a truly exceptional ceremony. Her service and support was so helpful throughout the process and the little touches and surprises were so thoughtful! Attention to detail and customer service can get lost in today's world, but Kelly has them in spades. Even though our ceremony was small, Kelly didn't take any shortcuts and she made our day just as magical as our wedding day!

Chris, vow renewal at Disney’s Sago Cay


Kelly was so communicative and helpful throughout the entire wedding planning process. She provided us with many wonderful options for our vows, and was so helpful in answering all of our questions. On the day of our wedding, she showed up on time and was so professional and helpful. Our outdoor ceremony ended up being rained on, and she helped to ensure everything ran seamlessly and was so patient while we tried to figure out our next steps. She was integral to our perfect rainy wedding day, and was such a kind and calming presence. We are so grateful we found Kelly, and would absolutely recommend her to anyone for their special day!!

Sean, ceremony at Leu Gardens


If you have the chance to work with Kelly, take it!!  She is FANTASTIC from start to finish.  I had no idea what I was doing for our ceremony, none, couldn't even decide where to start and my wedding was 3 months away (maybe even less than that).  Then I found Kelly and all the stress and worry disappeared overnight.  She took charge and guided me every step of the way.  She begins with a questionnaire to get to know the bride and groom, then based on those responses she starts presenting you with several different ceremony options.  We started with the opening; she'd give me a few options, I'd tell her which one I liked (with her assurance I could change anything needed; she was always spot on so I never had to do this but it was always an option), then we would move on to the next section.  I liked that she took it a section at a time and I never felt overwhelmed (I was stressed about a lot of things at that point, but never about the ceremony).  Once we had gone through different sections of the ceremony, she let me see the final product minus one surprise section (she made sure I was OK with the theme of the surprise first of course), and it was perfect!  It was as if she had known my husband and I for years.  Fast forward to the day of the ceremony...I didn't think I could be happier with Kelly, I was wrong!  The ceremony and her delivery were absolutely perfect; you could tell she had been practicing!  My guests could not stop raving about her (I got more compliments on her ceremony than I did on my wedding dress, she's that good), and they loved our surprise section.  My husband and I are major craft beer lovers, which we had shared with her, and Kelly took the time to incorporate a funny but very touching metaphor for our relationship using a beer theme.  I'm sure some people are thinking, beer in a wedding ceremony, how unusual, but it worked for us and that is Kelly's strength.  She is an officiant that will take the time to get to know you and your spouse and give you a ceremony to remember for a lifetime.  I cannot recommend her enough!!
