    We absolutely loved working with Kayelily as our wedding officiant! She was kind, attentive, and made the whole process so easy and enjoyable. We actually knew we were in great hands because not only was she recommended by our venue, Highgrove Estate, but she also officiated my sister’s wedding at The Bradford back in December 2018 — such an unexpected and special connection! Our ceremony was everything we hoped for and more. Kayelily shared our love story in a way that was sweet, funny, and perfectly us. It flowed beautifully, had everyone smiling (and tearing up!), and was the perfect length at under 30 minutes. We received so many compliments from guests who said it was one of the best ceremonies they’d ever seen. If you’re looking for an officiant who truly listens and crafts a meaningful, personalized ceremony, Kayelily is it. We can’t recommend her highly enough!

    Kayelily is a true professional!  From the first time meeting with her, throughout the entire process - Kayelily made sure that our wedding ceremony was very “us”.  She went above and beyond in her duties as the officiant and I couldn’t recommend someone more to be part of your big day.  Kayelily came prepared with handkerchiefs and wiped tears away during the ceremony.  We had a brief audio issue and she handled the entire situation with ease!   All of our guests commented on how lovely and personal the ceremony was.  It truly set the tone for the rest of the evening.  Truly can’t thank her enough for being part of our life moment!  We are very grateful she was recommended to us and cannot stress how amazing she is! Cheers!

    Kayelily is wonderful! We hired her to officiate our small elopement ceremony with our immediate family. From the start she was responsive, kind, and professional. She took the time to ask for my vision, what aspects of the ceremony were most important to us, and provided us with a script that we were able to edit if desired. Our wedding ceremony could not have been more perfect. It was the perfect blend of honoring our love, acknowledging everyone who was there to support us, and even a little humor. Our families agreed that she was absolutely wonderful and they enjoyed listening to her speak about us. We are so happy that Kayelily was able to be part of our most special day and we cannot thank her enough for the most perfect memory!

    Rev. Kayelily is an amazing officiant! She helped us create a ceremony that was uniquely ours and beautifully reflected our love story. On the wedding day, everything was seamless. She brought out both happy tears and laughter, and helped us feel completely comfortable standing in front of all our loved ones. We received countless compliments on both Kayelily and the ceremony itself!
