About Kindred Unions

Kindred Unions

Owner - Lead Officiant and Wedding Coordinator

If you want a ceremony that feels intentional without being heavily religious, or an event that feels structured without feeling rigid, you’re in the right place. At Kindred Unions, we support life-marking moments of all backgrounds and spiritual paths with calm guidance and steady care. From crafting ceremonies that reflect your values to coordinating the flow of the day, everything is handled with clarity, respect, and presence.

Here, ceremony isn’t about following a script or performing tradition. It's about honoring your story in a way that feels honest, grounded, and true to you. At the heart of our work is a simple belief: meaningful moments deserve intention, not expectation. We place your story and wishes first, with tradition serving you rather than overshadowing what matters most.

In three words: Calm, Supportive, Whimsical

    Our wedding ceremony was perfect!

    Kindred Unions were so great to work with! Ellie was so quick to respond to emails and make any adjustments we asked for. We had a conversation with her and answered some questions and she used the information to write a beautiful ceremony that truly told our story perfectly. She even took care of filing our marriage license for us!

Preferred vendors of Kindred Unions


Kindred Unions was created to bring intention and presence to life’s most meaningful passages — love, transformation, and return. What makes us unique is our holistic approach: we honor every kind of ceremony and every kind of story. From weddings and vow renewals to end-of-life rituals and ceremonies of release, each experience is crafted with care, sincerity, and deep respect for the human spirit. Rather than fitting your story into a standard script, we begin with listening — shaping words, flow, and atmosphere around who you truly are. Every type of gathering becomes a living expression of connection, memory, and meaning.
Absolutely. Kindred Unions honors all expressions of love and all belief systems — from traditional to spiritual, secular to interfaith, and everything in between. Whether your ceremony is rooted in a shared faith, a blend of traditions, or simply the deep connection between two souls, it will be crafted to reflect you — your values, your story, and your truth. We proudly celebrate LGBTQ+ unions, diverse spiritual paths, and every form of partnership built on authenticity and love. No matter how you define your union, it will be held with care, reverence, and an open heart.
Prices for wedding professionals can vary widely depending on location, experience, and the type of service being provided. Officiant services in North Carolina often range between $300–$800, while coordination packages may range from $1,000–$3,000+ depending on the level of involvement and event size. At Kindred Unions, our approach is built on transparency and intention — each offering is designed to meet you where you are, with clear pricing outlined on our service pages. We believe your celebration should feel meaningful and manageable, both emotionally and financially.
The ideal time to book depends on the type of service and the season. For weddings, we recommend reserving your date 6 to 12 months in advance, especially for popular spring and fall weekends. Smaller ceremonies, elopements, or weekday celebrations often require only 2 to 3 months’ notice. That said, life doesn’t always follow a timeline — if your date is approaching quickly, please reach out. Whenever possible, we’ll find a way to bring your day to life with ease and intention.
Yes — love stories have no borders. Though Kindred Unions is rooted in Graham, NC, I often travel to celebrate unions across North Carolina and beyond. Travel within 25 miles is included, with modest mileage added for longer journeys. For events that require extended travel, overnight accommodations help ensure I arrive refreshed and ready to help your day unfold with ease and heart.
Yes — officiating is only one part of what I offer. Kindred Unions was founded upon years of coordination and planning experience, blending structure with intention. I create and guide ceremonies of all kinds—weddings, rituals, and memorials—each shaped with deep meaning to honor your story in every form it takes.
