HIRE HER!!!

If you have the opportunity to hire Karen to officiate your wedding, you simply must! I cannot recommend her enough. I worked with Just Marry! to plan my wedding and made it clear to my wedding planner that having a good officiant was important to me. My planner suggested Karen right away and she absolutely delivered. Karen far surpassed any expectation I had for our ceremony. She was incredibly easy to get a hold of and answered emails faster than any of our other vendors, which is so amazing when you're a nervous out-of-town bride! She also does a fantastic job of keeping up with the most current ceremony trends. She sat down with us and went through several unique ideas for the ceremony. For example, we ended up having our families sit on the opposite sides of the aisle from where we were standing so they could watch our faces the whole time. And you don't have to worry about asking Karen to get out of the way for your first kiss; she does it seamlessly. She's just completely aware of what modern couples want. Most importantly she wrote the most amazing ceremony for us! All of our guests were talking about how beautiful our ceremony was, and it was all due to Karen. My husband and I chose not to write our own vows as we are more private people. Karen had us answer several questions individually and used our answers to create the most beautiful and personal vows for us. She even followed up to make sure we received our marriage license in the mail a few weeks later. Again, if having an amazing ceremony is important to you, Karen is absolutely your girl!!!

Karen Made Our Story Come to Life

Karen made our ceremony unforgettable. She took the time to really get to know us and created an incredible story that felt like it was written by someone who had been a part of our relationship all along. It was so personal, thoughtful, and perfectly us. Every word felt intentional and genuine, and it truly made the day perfect. We couldn’t have asked for a better officiant or a more meaningful ceremony.

Karen is amazing!

Karen did such an amazing job as our officiant! Everything went smoothly and exactly as we wanted. She accommodated our specific requests for how we wanted the ceremony to be. She met with us twice before our wedding to ensure that the script, the order of people, and the ceremony as a whole were exactly what we desired. Her energy and personality were so natural and fluid, making us feel at ease. Thank you, Karen, for being so accommodating, positive, and professional! I highly recommend you to all couples looking for their perfect officiant! With love, Iryna&Marco

A Love Story Well Told

Karen was wonderful to work with. She took care of all of the little details that made everything feel easy and natural. She was incredibly personable and made everyone in our wedding feel welcome and comfortable. I cannot recommend her enough. She was truly a delight to work with.

Karen was the heart and sole of our wedding ceremony. From the moment we met her via zoom, we knew we'd found our perfect officiant! She is kind, caring, warm and personable. We're proud to say that not only did we find an incredible officiant, but we truly made a new friend in Karen. It was as if we were being married by a lifelong friend, not someone we'd only met virtually a couple of months earlier, and that's exactly what we were looking for. She was more than happy to accommodate our requests, script updates, and was willing to wear Meta RayBan glasses to capture moments from our ceremony that usually only she would get to enjoy. Her attention to detail also extended into secretly weaving Taylor Swift quotes into our story, and working with the pianist to cue him to play a short "Nothing Can Stop Us Now" tune from the ride at Hollywood Studios. Small touches that made us laugh in the moment, and smile every time we think back to them. Our ceremony took place at Disney's Wedding Pavilion, and from the moment we arrived she was a calming presence, knew exactly what she needed to do and stayed in communication with Disney's team from start to finish. From our meetings and her questionnaires, she absolutely nailed our story. She wove our love story together like a fairytale and narrated the ceremony beautifully. She is a gifted storyteller and presenter who engaged our guests throughout. Disney's Wedding Pavilion is a large room with space for up to 300 guests, and Karen was able to make our wedding of 33 guests feel intimate and warm in such a commanding venue. We truly cannot recommend Karen higher, and if we ever choose to renew our vows, we only have one person we'll call on.
