“Working with Kindred Unions was such a pleasure from start to finish. She took the time to learn who we really are as people and asked thoughtful questions about what we wanted for our ceremony. She listened carefully and created a service that felt genuine and personal to us, not like something generic or cookie-cutter. On the day of the wedding, our families couldn't believe how well she captured our story and personalities. Several guests said it felt like she had known us forever. She delivered exactly what we asked for: short, sweet, and meaningful. We felt so supported and understood throughout the entire process, and we'd absolutely recommend Kindred Unions to any couple looking for an officiant who truly cares.”

  • Offers 8 ceremony types
  • Starts at $300
  • Serves Sylva, NC

I want to make you feel like your love is not just tolerated but celebrated. As a queer woman, I faced many discriminatory vendors when planning my own wedding. My hope is that I can change that for others. I don't just want to officiate you. I want to make sure you feel seen, celebrated, and uplifted in your love.

“I recently had the pleasure of working alongside her at a wedding, and I was incredibly impressed! As a wedding planner, I work with many different vendors, and a great officiant can truly set the tone for the entire ceremony. She spoke beautifully, was warm, and engaging, and her pacing and timing were absolutely perfect. The ceremony flowed effortlessly and felt meaningful without ever feeling rushed or drawn out. She was professional, prepared, and wonderful to work with from a vendor standpoint as well. I would recommend her to any couple looking for someone they can trust to make their ceremony feel special and seamless!”

“Our chosen officiant flaked out a month before the wedding and luckily, Lem was available. I already knew vendor quick response time, a contract and more good reviews than bad were requirements. Lem fit all these; was friendly, helpful and rates were reasonable and average. Lem stood out to me because another officiant recommended him. He listened to our needs and was a total professional on the wedding day. A great choice.”

We have been best friends for over four decades and decided that we wanted to create a business together that celebrates love, happiness and positivity. There’s nothing more beautiful than seeing the journey of a couple beginning their forever and we get to be part of that.

“From our first conversation with Sonja at Knot On The Run, we felt like we were in great hands. She took time to understand what we wanted for our ceremony and walked us through the different packages with genuine care, explaining how we could customize our service to include two unity ceremonies instead of vow writing. Sonja was attentive to our needs and brought so much enthusiasm to every detail of planning our big day. On our wedding day, she delivered a ceremony that felt personal and meaningful, making our guests feel the love and commitment we were celebrating. We couldn't have asked for a more courteous and helpful officiant. Sonja and the entire Knot On The Run team made our day truly perfect.”
