So nice we did it twice….
We renewed our vows after 20 years. Kayelily married us the first time 20 years ago and was gracious enough to be with us and officiate for our renewal 29 years later. Both ceremonies have been filled with preparation, engagement, care and personal touches to make them exceedingly special. We can’t recommend her enough.
Kayelily Middleton•Jul 7, 2026Thank you, Steve! It was great to see you and Stephanie 20 years later (not 29, that’s a typo) and meet your beautiful daughters, visit with your parents and start off the celebration with your renewal of vows modified from your original script! Congratulations on your marriage that has endured and you two just as much in love as you were on your sweet wedding day in 2006. 🥰🥰🥰

Working with Kayelily was such a joy from start to finish. She took the time to really listen to us and helped us build a custom ceremony script that felt completely ours, with personalized paragraphs that captured exactly what we wanted to say to each other. Her communication was easy and fun, never making us feel rushed or stressed about the process. Every detail was handled with care and precision, and she delivered a ceremony that was nothing short of perfection. On our wedding day, she brought such warmth and energy to the moment, making everything feel special and meaningful. We couldn't have asked for a better officiant to start our marriage.
Kayelily Middleton•Jun 26, 2026Wow! Many thanks for this glowing review, Caitlyn! I so appreciate it. I loved working with you and Edward to get your ceremony just right so you and your families and friends would love hearing it on your wedding day! Blessings always!!

Kayelily is great to work with!
We loved working with Kayelily! From the very first phone call she was warm and kind, and she was a clear and timely communicator - mostly via email but the occasional phone call as well. She provided a lot of material to help us write our ceremony and we felt that our story was well incorporated into the ceremony. She worked well with our coordinator to make sure everything went exactly as planned for the day of. Kayelily is also affirming, and was great to work with as a same-sex couple. I would absolutely recommend working with Kayelily!
Kayelily Middleton•May 5, 2026Thanks for taking the time and effort to leave this wonderful review! I really appreciate it. It was my pleasure and honor to officiate for you and Patty and collaborate on the ceremony script. I could tell your guests really enjoyed it and were ready to celebrate!!

Highly recommend
Kayelily was excellent to work with before, during, and after our ceremony. She clearly mapped out what the possibilites were, worked with us to accomodate our preferences, and always communicated clearly and reliably in a timely manner. We are glad we went with her as the minister for our ceremony.
Kayelily Middleton•Apr 1, 2026Thanks, Kevin! You and Sarah were great to work with and I was honored to have joined you in marriage in the presence of your loving family and friends! Best always!
