    Simply amazing

    You can tell that the years of experience that Kathleen has, pays off. She was able to help us create the perfect vows and incorporated our ideas for our ceremony beautifully. She ran with the ideas during our consult and was able to send over our vows after very few revisions. She absolutely captured our vision with what seemed to be very little effort. I highly recommend Kathleen to any couple looking to customize their vows for a truly unique ceremony.

    Kathleen brought our dream ceremony to life!

    Kathleen officiated our wedding on 10/15/21 and we cannot say enough good things about her! She guided us through the process with her kindness and warmth, and helped us build a touching, personalized ceremony. She truly felt like a friend throughout the process - and many guests commented on how touching our ceremony was. We could not be happier. Highly recommend Kathleen!

    Liz & Tony, You were a dream team to collaborate with, despite pandemic delays and challenges. Your seaside wedding in Harwichport was absolutely beautiful - just like you! Congratulations on your marriage, and thank you again for choosing me. ~ Kathleen

    Couldn't have asked for better

    With a Covid wedding a lot of our plans had to change in terms of the reception, however I wouldn't change a single thing about my ceremony thanks to Kathleen. She made it easy and stress-free. We spent 2 hours in person going through things and she captured exactly what we wanted. Every request we had, she met. Professional but yet gentle, she made us feel like she wasn't a stranger intruding on one of the most intimate moments of our lives.

    Weddings By Kathleen's reply:

    What a wonderful review Jamie. Thank you kindly! You know how special it was that you chose me and the way you did! Your lake wedding was beautiful and fun. Especially when you and Greg took the plunge in my cove - gown and all! So happy you were happy! All the best!

    A beautiful and personalized ceremony

    Kathleen was the second officiant we talked with and we knew right after speaking with her (via zoom) that she was the right fit. She listened to what we were hoping for our ceremony and then crafted something that felt like us, asking for our input along the way. We felt like partners in the process and her warm and friendly demeanor make her so easy to work with. My one regret is not getting to spend more time with her in person! (We have a toddler who was needing a little extra attention when she arrived and then we were whisked away for photos right after the ceremony). I highly recommend Kathleen - you won't be disappointed!

    Weddings By Kathleen's reply:

    Joanna, thank you for such a generous review. We truly were partners, I agree! And your ceremony was absolutely beautiful by the colorful mountainside. Finn was adorable - no worries - been there! :) All the best for a happy ever-after! Kind regards, Kathleen

    Wonderful Officiant. Responsive, Thoughtful, Graceful

    I cannot say enough wonderful things about Kathleen. She worked with my partner and I, to construct an incredibly personalized ceremony that was truly US. She made the day beyond special, with her thoughtful touches and graceful delivery. I highly recommend Kathleen for anyone that wants a truly personalized and memorable wedding ceremony.

    Amy, your positive review means the world to me. Who knew you’d need to rethink your wedding because of a pandemic!? After a little pause for plan B, your ceremony was simply stunning and safe. Thank you for your exceptional attention to detail and warm ways. Yours will be a ceremony I’ll long remember fondly. Take care...

    Kathleen is wonderful!

    Kathleen was knowledgeable and helpful from the beginning of our journey with her! We first chatted with her about a year before our wedding, she asked great questions, got to know us and shared a bit about herself. When we hung up the phone from that conversation, we knew that Kathleen was it for us. It was so clear to us that she loved what she did, even from a 45 minute phone call. She put us at ease, had great suggestions about flow and timing, and really worked with us to make our ceremony unique to us and special. Fast forward a year, Covid becomes a reality and we needed to change things up. Kathleen was communicative, adaptable and flexible with what our new plan was, which was super helpful as we navigated uncharted waters of getting married during a pandemic. Kathleen was communicative throughout this process, and led us through a rehearsal Zoom call that was informative and succinct, helping to lay out the day ahead. On our actual wedding day, Kathleen was lively and bright, smiling with us and engaged in making our day special for us. We would not have had the day we did without her. We hands-down recommend her to any couple looking for a JOP that will bring knowledge and expertise, while at the same time creating a ceremony that is personal, intimate and reflective of the couple. We couldn't be happier with Kathleen's help throughout this process!

    Brittany, it thrills me to know how pleased you were! I can’t thank you enough for your thorough and thoughtful review. I DO love my “jobby” because I get the opportunity to meet and collaborate with great couples like you two! A wedding for most, is a once-in-a-lifetime moment and it’s all about getting it right - not for me, but for YOU! So happy you’re happy... All the best for a lifetime of love. ♥️

    Personal, special and wonderful!!

    Kathleen helped to personalize our wedding so it reflected us. It was the most special day and anyone would be lucky to work with Kathleen on their wedding !!

    Weddings By Kathleen's reply:

    Thank you kindly Kerri. Marrying you and Mike by the harbor in Baltimore was amazing. Who knew after 32 years our paths would cross for your precious moment? You were a joy to collaborate with! Wishing you both nothing but blue skies and sunshine!

    Simply amazing

    Kathleen saved our wedding! After a nightmare situation when our original officiant became MIA, I scurried around searching for an alternative literally a month before the wedding. Fortunately, my husband and I were introduced to Kathleen through our venue coordinator and it was meant-to-be. Communication with Kathleen was nothing short of perfection from the first email to the wedding day. We planned the ceremony primarily via email. She was responsive, understood our vision, and the final ceremony was exactly what we dreamed of. She is truly a hidden gem in the sea of wedding vendors and anyone would be lucky to select her to officiate their big day!

    Weddings By Kathleen's reply:

    Jing, I am humbled and touched by your generous review. Your wedding vision was unique and challenging. I learned so much about your beautiful Thai customs. Our collaborative efforts made your vision a reality! Yours is a wedding I will long remember fondly and proudly. Thank you for believing and trusting in me. All the best for a happily ever after with Adam.

    Unbelievable!

    Kathleen is just superb in every aspect. So many people commented how awesome our ceremony was and how much they loved it. Kathleen was just tremendous. We all got together and chatted and from this she created everything with her magic. She is one of a kind & we will always cherish and remember her for all she did to make our day so special!

    Weddings By Kathleen's reply:

    Thank you kindly Heidi and Dan for your most generous review. I can’t tell you enough how special it was to collaborate with you. To include six of your sweet rescued dogs in the wedding party was amazing! Best man/dog Diesel’s kisses while welcoming your guests was so funny! The world needs more of your humble, kind, and compassionate hearts. Happy ever-after my farmer friends!

    A joy to work with

    Kathleen did an amazing job writing our ceremony and sharing it on our wedding day. Everyone complimented how nice and sincere she was. Kathleen took the time to get to know us before our ceremony which really meant a lot to us. Highly recommend!

    Weddings By Kathleen's reply:

    Thank you kindly for your generous review Nichole. You were such a fun couple to partner with as we designed a ceremony that spoke to you. My genuine appreciation for choosing me... and all the best for a happy ever after with Jacob. XOXO

    A wonderfully, fantastic officiant!

    Kathleen is simply amazing! She is quick to respond to any questions. She was very organized and kept us on a timely schedule. She had many options to choose from so that we could compile a unique wedding ceremony that fit us and was responsive to any edits. Not to mention she was accepted the challenge of officiating a mix of a Thai/traditional ceremony (something very uncommon). Her experience shows in her presentation and our day was seamless! I highly recommend Kathleen to help make your big day complete and worry free.

    Weddings By Kathleen's reply:

    Thank you Katie for your most generous It was such a privilege to collaborate with you and Adam, albeit long distance Massachusetts and Missouri! How special and beautiful your unique blended ceremony was. Thank you for having confidence in my ability to get it right :). I wish you both a happy ever-after... Kathleen

    Kathleen is Terrific!

    I am so glad we chose Kathleen for our wedding. She took the time to get to know us and wrote a beautiful ceremony. I couldn't have been any happier. She is very flexible and very helpful. You will not be disappointed by choosing her for your special day!

    Thank you for your kind words Kelly. What a wonderful ceremony it was - complete with your little precious Grace in her satin covered wagon and the exquisite string ensemble. Forever memories... Wishing you and your beautiful family all the best!

    Highly Recommend!

    Kathleen was the perfect fit to marry us on our wedding day! She was SO organized, which made planning with her an easy task. She did a wonderful job creating vows that suited our personalities, and made it a point to travel in order to join us during our rehearsal dinner. She is professional, kind and organized! She was truly a pleasure to work with!

    Thank you Christine and Tim for your generous review. It was truly a pleasure getting to know you and what mattered most - making it happen! It was a magical ceremony. My best wishes for a happy ever after..,

    Kathleen was by far my favorite wedding vendor. She really took the time to get to know me and my husband as couple and truly customized the ceremony to fit us. She kept us on schedule so we weren't trying to write last minute vows. She offered books to help us write our vows and read through them and made helpful suggestions. I think most people prefer the reception, but the ceremony was my favorite part of the day- we laughed, we cried and shared so much love. Additionally, the bridal party took portraits at her house before the ceremony. It was the most beautiful lake backdrop for all of my photos. Kathleen is organized, sweet,flexible and compassionate- she is everything you would want in an officiant. Kathleen played such a huge role in the ceremony of my dreams and I KNOW she will do the same for any future brides!

    Weddings By Kathleen's reply:

    Melissa and Lou, You made all this possible again - this time in MA - by choosing me. Now I'm happily meeting and partnering with special couples like you two. Thank you for trusting me to create your special moment. It was an honor and my joy! Happy Veteran's Day Lou. Keep safe as you serve our country. We thank you both for all you do. XOXO
