Let me start with, "Wow!". The day we were married was crazy. I called Karen that morning and said, "Sooo, what are you doing this afternoon?". After hearing we wanted to be married that same day, Karen not only agreed to conduct our ceremony, but she also went way past the proverbial "extra mile". My husband and I expected to meet Karen at a local coffee shop to quickly exchange vows (our official wedding is in the Caribbean next year) and instead, Karen directed us to a beautiful garden setting, had an impromptu photographer taking photos for us, and even gave me a beautiful little bouquet, stating "every bride should have a bouquet". I can't tell you how special we felt, nor how grateful we were for all of the help and guidance. We felt as if we had known Karen for years, which allowed us to relax and enjoy the ceremony. We can truly say, in all honesty, that she made our day special. Thank you, Karen... for everything!

My fiancé and I have just completed the pre-marital counseling sessions with Karen. She was absolutely amazing!!
I highly recommend her. Each session felt purposeful and was tailored to us and our relationship. She made the conversations comfortable and meaningful. We have already been in talks about doing the Marital Enrichment course with her after a year of marriage because we loved the sessions so much. My fiancé and I knew that we wanted to do pre-marital counseling and that who we chose would make all the difference. We are both so glad that we went with Karen. Can't wait for our big day!!
Mr. and Mrs. Jones
Thank you so much for being part of our wedding day. From our first meeting it was obvious that you were the right choice for us. You have been Kind, supportive, and very helpful through the entire process. We appreciate you more than you know.
Isabelle and Martin Parent
My husband and I eloped in Nashville at the last minute. We were so lucky to find Karen to be our officiant. We communicated with her and she quickly responded and was very flexible with our choice of location and vows. We could not have asked for a better person, she was truly wonderful. Thank you Karen and looking forward to seeing you in Canada!
Danny and Makayla:
My husband and I got married at Tayvin Gardens. We had set it up outside as the forecast was showing sunny and warm all week. Getting closer to the day the weather changed for the one day we had our wedding planned of course! It started pouring and we had to bring everything inside which ended up delaying the whole timeline but Karen as so gracious and understanding which we really appreciated. She also helped me with guidelines for conducting our rehearsal which I really appreciated as well.

Karen was the perfect woman to officiate our wedding! My husband and I had to change our original wedding plans last minute and found Karen here on The Knot. She is the sweetest-she absolutely loves her job and it shows! From initial contact until our big day she was very communicative and made sure we knew that we could reach out to her for any questions or concerns we may have had. She arrived an hour before our ceremony to check on us and made sure we had everything we needed. Karen, thank you so much for all of your time and love you put into our ceremony. We had the best day ever and we couldn't have done it without you! :)
Jodi Gibbs
Karen was lovely from our initial meeting, through pre-marital counseling and the wedding day. She was very communicative as well. It is obvious through all of our interactions that Karen cares about her couples and loves what she does. I would definitely recommend.
Amy Travis
If you are looking for a truly wonderful person to officiate your wedding and are also looking for someone to do so in a very personal way Karen is definitely that person. We love her so much. Thank you Karen for making our special day all the more special. Hope to see you in September.

Karen did a beautiful job with our wedding ceremony, and we found her counseling before the wedding date to be enlightening and extremely helpful in mitigating any conflict in our relationship. She helped us to understand ourselves and each other better with the Prepare Enrich program, working through a packet together and meeting to discuss every so often until its completion a little before the wedding.
In addition, she took a lot of time making sure that our ceremony was exactly what we wanted and was meticulous about making sure that everything ran smoothly. She was even available to help direct the rehearsal should the need arise.
We greatly enjoyed our experience with her and would recommend Karen to anyone, no matter their faith, getting married.
Tamara Ator
Karen was so very wonderful at our wedding. She even worked with us to do a rehearsal in a different location on the day of the wedding (which was super difficult to work with). She made sure everyone was well instructed on their part in the ceremony and that Chad and I knew exactly what to do. She even gave us helpful tips on how to situate ourselves for the photos. We are so appreciative of Karen's hard work and would recommend her for any wedding. You can truly tell she loves to help people celebrate these wonderful milestones!
Jason Raugh
Benjamin and I just wanted to say thank you so much for the beautiful ceremony. We will cherish these moments forever. It was great meeting you!
Taylor Lish
My husband and I decided to book Ms. Karen Burns for a small ceremony with our families. Karen was on time and was super kind to our families. I would recommend Karen to friends and family.
Jade-Evette Strachen
Karen was a wonderful Officiant and was very easy to work with. From our initial contact her communication was excellent the entire time. She offered a variety of options for how the ceremony could be conducted, however, she ensured that all final decisions were based on what we wanted as a couple. Thank you Karen
Darius and Olivia,
Karen Burns was wonderful. She had great communication with us. I'm so grateful to have had her to ordain my marriage this August. Her words were so meaningful and I appreciated the prayer. You won't regret making her your minister for your wedding.
Aaron and Kristen
Thank you for all your love and support over the last couple of months. We enjoyed the premarital sessions; it gave us a lot to think about leading into this marriage. Thank you for making our wedding so special and for being the one to make this marriage official. You did a great job.
Zachary and Brittany
Karen is one of the reasons my big day was as special, and intimate as it was. I wouldn't have wanted anyone else to marry Zachary and I, because no one else would have put that much love and dedication, and beauty into our ceremony. She really gets to know the bride and groom that she is marrying, making her ceremonies so special, and unique. I couldn't thank her enough.
Mary & Mark
Karen did an awesome job of being both our wedding officiant and our wedding planner/coordinator, as we lived 4 hours away from Nashville. Working with her through the planning was a real joy. She thought of every detail and made our small, simple wedding ceremony such a special event.
Todd and Karen
We feel very lucky to have found Karen to officiate our special day. Since we were not youngsters getting married, we wanted a unique ceremony with vows fitting our life experience and our commitment to each other. Karen came up with the perfect vows for us and was an asset to our wedding ceremony. We highly recommend Karen and it was truly a pleasure working with her to make our day complete. Thanks again!
Haylee Smith
Karen is definitely the best of the best! I am so thankful that we chose her for our nuptial ceremony. We are having an elopement destination wedding, yet wanted to have a small family ceremony here prior to taking off!
We expected to read our vows and be done, yet Karen took it above and beyond with her amazing verbiage prior to the vows.
Thank you for making our day perfect and exceeding expectations.
Betsy and Chase Ledbetter
Karen was an absolute delight to work with. Starting with the first time I reached out to her up to her giving us follow up instructions the week after the wedding she was right there when we needed her and she did a great job of keeping us on schedule to be ready for the wedding day. She helped us create a custom ceremony that was perfectly us. It was important to us to have a non religious ceremony that was simply a celebration of love and that's exactly what we got. I couldn't have been happier with the outcome, all thanks to Karen.
Ed and Heather
Thank you very much for officiating our ceremony and dedicating your own time to our premarital class. The ceremony was amazing and very special to us. Everyone complimented tha it was personal and heartfelt. Thank you for making our wedding day so great!
Mylia and Paul
My husband and I decided to get married on a whim. I came to visit him from Colorado and we couldn't have picked a better time to do the ceremony. Karen and her husband were beyond fantastic, we couldn't have been more pleased, we were extremely lucky! They both went out of their way for us and made us feel comfortable, safe and at home. The ceremony was beautiful and we are so gracious for her husband volunteering to be our witness and photographer. The best part was getting to know them and their beautiful horses. I hope one day we will cross paths again to thank them. This was an expierence we will never forget! I would highly recommend Mr. And Mrs.Burns, they are very professional, kind and sweet people. Thank you Mr. And Mrs Burns for everything you have done for us!
Gabrielle & Carl Dowell
We couldn't have asked for anything better. We were married 4/9/16 and it was an absolutely perfect fun, cute, and country.
Jordan and Zac Mayo
Karen married us this past October. We couldn't have been more pleased with her services! The vows she wrote for us were perfect, and we are forever grateful! Our wedding day was so special and even more memorable thanks to Karen!
We would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a wonderful person to marry them. She will take the time to get to know you both and personalize your ceremony perfectly.
Thank you again, Karen!
Louis and Lori Crocker
We were so very blessed to find Karen to perform our wedding ceremony! What I thought was going to be a quick and uneventful ceremony at the courthouse turned into a beautiful ceremony in J. Travis Park on the porch of a quaint cottage that I will remember for all my days. She had great suggestions and the vows were perfect and her husband even took his lunch hour to be our witness. And imagine our surprise to come off the porch to find a flock of seagulls circling overhead and they just added to this blessed day. Can't thank you enough for making our day magical in its own way.
Cynthia Molero-Farrell
Thank you so very much for coming to officiate our vows on 1.1.16. We were so afraid of not getting our special date. You and your husband were truly wonderful people. I am glad I got to know you.
Jim and Rhonda
What a perfect Wedding and perfect surroundings to have a Wedding! To be able to incorporate our love of animals in the ceremony was awesome. I couldn't have asked for a better day. Thank you, Karen for making this possible for us!
I will highly recommend Wedding Ceremonies by Karen!
With love,
Jim and Rhonda
Kalie Ford
Karen was so amazing and performed the perfect ceremony just for us. She was so sweet and took time to get to know us. We are so blessed to have her be a part of our special day with us.
I've witnessed a handful of weddings, and Karen's ceremony was by far the best. You can tell how much she enjoys it by all the effort she puts in every ceremony and personalizes them to fit the couple. If you are looking for an officiant she is the one!
Ariel and Raymond Yates
Karen was wonderful! More than helpful since the moment we contacted her all the way to ceremony, even with last minute hick-ups! She even helped me with my hair! Very happy with her services ad grateful for her help. She insured everything ran smooth!
Ashley and Olivier
Karen was really wonderful! She was the perfect pick for us. She had so much character and personality and even learned French to say our vows in my husband's native tongue. Thank you for making this day special Karen!
Jimmie Hiett
What a wonderful service we had. Karen made us feel very warm and comfortable in her home. Even though the nerves were still there on my part. I would recommend all my friends and family members great service and once again thank you.
Debra Brower
Karen did a great job she was very helpful with the ceremony. She felt like family and made my daughter's wedding wonderful. I would recommend her to anyone.
Karen, thank you so much for all you did. My daughter's wedding was great ! I appreciate the time you took to help us with the ceremony. I would recommend you to anyone who would like to have someone who's like family making their ceremony special.
Lesli and Greg Demoss
"A girl should be classy and fabulous"...you were both. Thank you so much for your warm and caring nature.
Scott Neal said
Ms. Karen was a wonderful person to marry me and my wife. She was so accommodating with everything and everyone there is no one I would recommend more to do your wedding ceremony! Thank you Ms. Karen!
Erica Neal
Karen did a fabulous job for us! She was the perfect Wedding Officiant. We had an out door wedding and it was slightly rainy but she did so well getting us all together and having our vows and prayer for us. Because of her the wedding went off without a glitch. And as for keeping the bride and family calm she was absolutely amazing! Would recommend her to anyone getting married. Thank you so much for everything Ms Karen!
Jay & Jan Taylor
Karen did a wonderful job with our small ceremony from making recommendations to finding just the right vows and wine ceremony to fit our desires. She arrived promptly well before the wedding to take care of all of the final details and help everyone to feel at ease. I would highly recommend her to anyone who is in need of wedding services. Thank you so much Karen for helping to make our day special.
Audrey Cline
Karen is great at what she does. I would recommend her to anyone in the Nashville area looking for a wedding officiant at an affordable price. Thank you, Karen for making my wedding day so special.
Brooke Brewer
Karen was the perfect choice for officiating the surprise vow renewal for me and my husband ,she worked with me to personalize my vows to suit our specific needs ,she and her family were a pleasure to work with from start to finish ,it was a truly memorable occasion we will never forget ,thank you so much
Shannon Ross
My husband and I were married on June 20th in a small outdoor wedding with Karen officiating the ceremony. She was so helpful from the beginning there to answer any questions and solve any problems we had. We had unlimited communication with her and she had no problems making changes even at the last minute. She put all our worries we had to rest from the moment we met her. She is so passionate about her work and will cater to any request you have to make the big day special to you. I cannot express the calming energy she puts off especially on the big day. Even down to sharing her face powder with me she really went above an beyond for us and we are very grateful! I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking to get married!
Dawn Workman
My ex-husband and I realized it was God's will to reunite as husband and wife and led us to Karen for the renewal of our vows. We were fortunate to have a fellow Christian perform our ceremony...She conducted a beautiful ceremony for our second marriage and we are so grateful for her willingness to work with us on the location. She is an awesome lady with a great love for our Father in heaven and the shared beliefs made our small ceremony that much more memorable!!! Much love and gratitude sent to you Karen!!! Blessings, Dawn & Charles Workman
Ashley Bell
Karen is absolutely the best! Hands down. Period. Your search is over. She made me feel so calm and she fit in so seamlessly. Everything was our choice and she was more than happy to accommodate any request that we had. She is family now! She is truly wonderful! Thank you for everything!!
Dolores Ussery Johnson
Karen, thank you so very much for the beautiful ceremony. We contacted Karen late in November and worked with her closely by email until the ceremony this last weekend. When she arrived for the wedding it was like seeing an old friend. You made our day even more special. We cannot tell you how thankfully we are that we selected you to perform your wedding.
Bill and Teresa Sager
Karen, thank you so much. Our ceremony was perfect. Even with the short notice you really went the extra mile to make us feel comfortable and make our "very small" ceremony feel huge to us. You really made our day special!!
Krissy Weber
Karen, First and foremost we want to thank you for sharing our day with us! We had a blast and couldn't have asked for a better turnout. Secondly, thank you so much for doing such a great job on our wedding ceremony. We loved it! Thanks a bunch for working with us.

Joey and Kali Thomas
Our wedding would not have been the same without Karen. From the first meeting to the wedding day, she went above and beyond to get to know my husband and me and to make sure we had everything we needed for a truly perfect day. We had a secular wedding complete with a sand ceremony. Karen described our love and relationship perfectly and made the whole ceremony feel so intimate and unique. Her wardrobe matched the theme of our wedding perfectly. Before the wedding she even went above and beyond to help a very frantic bride and my matron of honor minutes before the wedding was supposed to start. My husband and I are so lucky to have found Karen because thanks to her, our wedding day was perfect. Karen and her husband are amazing people and I would recommend her services for any wedding, religious or not. Thanks for everything, Karen!
Mike and Patti McCall
Karen gave our small, intimate wedding such care and attention and made it a wonderful occasion for us, our friends and family to enjoy. In fact, all of my friends and family who attended the wedding commented on our wonderful officiant! We were so lucky to find Karen! Mike and I highly recommend Karen.
Debbi and Patrick McLean
Our wedding was a small and informal gathering of family and dear friends. Karen has such a wonderful presence and the ceremony perfectly expressed our spirits and love. She joined us in our home for the gathering afterward, adding to the intimate feeling of the day. It was exactly the kind of wedding we hoped for!! We highly recommend Karen to anyone!! Thank you Karen!!
Joanna and Justin Wheeler
Karen married us in a small, simple backyard wedding on 5/24/14. She did an amazing job! I loved how involved she let us be in the type of ceremony she performed and the vows we exchanged. She did wonderful at putting the unity sand ceremony together involving our children as this was a 2nd marriage for us both. I strongly recommend her to anyone!!!
Brandi Wilk s
Karen did an amazing job !! She included our children and there was not a dry eye during the ceremony.. i recommend her to anyone. She made it so personal for us. I just love her to pieces. Not to mention she looked amazing to!! Thanks so much for keeping in touch thru out the whole engagement. She is very professional to! Love ya Karen you are awesome!! -The Wilk family est. 6-28-14
Karen, Just wanted to say thanks again for performing our ceremony on Sunday. You did an excellent job and we're so happy. We were so glad to have met you and your husband. You guys were so nice to us and went above and beyond our expectations. Thanks again, hope to stay in touch.
Candace
Karen did fantastic! I wouldn't have chose anyone else! My girls who are all 5 though she was amazing and told me this was the best day ever! She worked with us on our perfectly imperfect wedding. Not only did I do it by myself but Mrs. Karen helped us along the way. She helped me talk through my fears and doubts before and on the big day. After our wedding it almost just feels like she fit right in like family! Thank you so much!♡
Keli Cavender
What a blessing to run across Karen to do our wedding! We are a middle aged young at heart couple who wanted a special, yet non-traditional ceremony. Karen immediately put me at ease with her knowledge, ideas, and calm. I can tell that this is not just a job to her, it is more of a calling. Quite refreshing to see in this world. I would highly recommend Karen to anyone!
Megan & Darby Holloway
Karen did such an amazing job with our ceremony! It was somewhat short noticed yet she made everything so perfect & exactly what WE wanted! As genuine & sincere as she sounds on the phone when you talk to her, she truly is ever more than that when you meet her! Her & her husband are so sweet! Our wedding was more than I could've ever imagined & it wouldn't have been as good without her & ALL the thoughts & time she put into it (her shirt even matched my colors exactly)! She made our ceremony just that... OURS!!! She said what we wanted from start to finish!!! We HIGHLY recommend Karen for any wedding! She accommodates each individuals needs!!! And she got the paperwork into the courthouse so fast that I got my marriage certificate in the mail in 2 1/2 days! P.S. She even is amazing at making bouquets, boutonnieres, etc.!!! :) Thanks so much Karen!!! 4-19-14
Paris & Joseph McFall
Joseph and I were so very touched by the words that Karen had at our wedding. We felt like she represented us well and described our love for one another perfectly. I would recommend Karen to anyone! Seeing her and her husband together as well was inspiring, but very positive, kind and helpful people. Thank you for making our special day perfect! 1-18-2014
Brad & Gina Pollack
Our wedding was very small and on somewhat short notice...Karen was magnificent! The service was enjoyed by everyone attending! We would recommend Karen for any size wedding. Very professional and exactly what we asked for!! Thank you again Karen!!!

Shay Jordan
When my husband and I sat down to plan our wedding, we knew we didn't want anything cookie cutter for our ceremony. For two folks living in the South that don’t come from a religious/Christian background, we were worried that we would have to settle for a ceremony that didn’t truly represent us as a couple. We were absolutely thrilled and relieved to find Karen. She was more than willing to help us find the perfect mix heartfelt, meaningful, and beautiful secular vows that really hit home for us. Our guests raved that we had a wonderful ceremony that made them feel warm and welcome. We loved having a wedding that was far from the too formal norm! We would definitely recommend Karen for anyone that wants a ceremony that is unique, beautiful and budget-friendly. Thanks again for all of your help and advice, Karen!
Ryan Hill
My wife and I wanted a wedding that portrayed our individualism and uniqueness and Karen helped us achieve our perfect ceremony. She was able to provide expert advice and guidance for the general idea we had developed and helped to make it an unforgettable day we can cherish forever. She met and got to know us personally and helped us incorporate unique parts of each of us into our Wedding. Karen made our day about myself and my wife's wants and needs and she far exceeded the expectations we had. We highly recommend Karen for any service she offers and know you will find her expert knowledge and everyday approach ability as wonderful as we have. Thanks, Karen!
Shannon Mallory

Thank you so very much for coming to officiate our vows on 1.1.16. We were so afraid of not getting our special date. You and your husband were truly wonderful people. I am glad I got to know you.

What a perfect Wedding and perfect surroundings to have a Wedding! To be able to incorporate our love of animals in the ceremony was awesome. I couldn't have asked for a better day. Thank you, Karen for making this possible for us!
I will highly recommend Wedding Ceremonies by Karen!
With love,

Karen was so amazing and performed the perfect ceremony just for us. She was so sweet and took time to get to know us. We are so blessed to have her be a part of our special day with us.
I've witnessed a handful of weddings, and Karen's ceremony was by far the best. You can tell how much she enjoys it by all the effort she puts in every ceremony and personalizes them to fit the couple. If you are looking for an officiant she is the one!
Ariel and Raymond Yates
Karen was wonderful! More than helpful since the moment we contacted her all the way to ceremony, even with last minute hick-ups! She even helped me with my hair! Very happy with her services ad grateful for her help. She insured everything ran smooth!
Ashley and Olivier
Karen was really wonderful! She was the perfect pick for us. She had so much character and personality and even learned French to say our vows in my husband's native tongue. Thank you for making this day special Karen!

Erica Neal
Karen did a fabulous job for us! She was the perfect Wedding Officiant. We had an out door wedding and it was slightly rainy but she did so well getting us all together and having our vows and prayer for us. Because of her the wedding went off without a glitch. And as for keeping the bride and family calm she was absolutely amazing! Would recommend her to anyone getting married. Thank you so much for everything Ms Karen!
Jay & Jan Taylor
Karen did a wonderful job with our small ceremony from making recommendations to finding just the right vows and wine ceremony to fit our desires. She arrived promptly well before the wedding to take care of all of the final details and help everyone to feel at ease. I would highly recommend her to anyone who is in need of wedding services. Thank you so much Karen for helping to make our day special.
Audrey Cline
Karen is great at what she does. I would recommend her to anyone in the Nashville area looking for a wedding officiant at an affordable price. Thank you, Karen for making my wedding day so special.

Shannon Ross
My husband and I were married on June 20th in a small outdoor wedding with Karen officiating the ceremony. She was so helpful from the beginning there to answer any questions and solve any problems we had. We had unlimited communication with her and she had no problems making changes even at the last minute. She put all our worries we had to rest from the moment we met her. She is so passionate about her work and will cater to any request you have to make the big day special to you. I cannot express the calming energy she puts off especially on the big day. Even down to sharing her face powder with me she really went above an beyond for us and we are very grateful! I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking to get married!
Dawn Workman
My ex-husband and I realized it was God's will to reunite as husband and wife and led us to Karen for the renewal of our vows. We were fortunate to have a fellow Christian perform our ceremony...She conducted a beautiful ceremony for our second marriage and we are so grateful for her willingness to work with us on the location. She is an awesome lady with a great love for our Father in heaven and the shared beliefs made our small ceremony that much more memorable!!! Much love and gratitude sent to you Karen!!! Blessings, Dawn & Charles Workman
Ashley Bell
Karen is absolutely the best! Hands down. Period. Your search is over. She made me feel so calm and she fit in so seamlessly. Everything was our choice and she was more than happy to accommodate any request that we had. She is family now! She is truly wonderful! Thank you for everything!!
Dolores Ussery Johnson
Karen, thank you so very much for the beautiful ceremony. We contacted Karen late in November and worked with her closely by email until the ceremony this last weekend. When she arrived for the wedding it was like seeing an old friend. You made our day even more special. We cannot tell you how thankfully we are that we selected you to perform your wedding.
Bill and Teresa Sager
Karen, thank you so much. Our ceremony was perfect. Even with the short notice you really went the extra mile to make us feel comfortable and make our "very small" ceremony feel huge to us. You really made our day special!!

Our wedding would not have been the same without Karen. From the first meeting to the wedding day, she went above and beyond to get to know my husband and me and to make sure we had everything we needed for a truly perfect day. We had a secular wedding complete with a sand ceremony. Karen described our love and relationship perfectly and made the whole ceremony feel so intimate and unique. Her wardrobe matched the theme of our wedding perfectly. Before the wedding she even went above and beyond to help a very frantic bride and my matron of honor minutes before the wedding was supposed to start. My husband and I are so lucky to have found Karen because thanks to her, our wedding day was perfect. Karen and her husband are amazing people and I would recommend her services for any wedding, religious or not. Thanks for everything, Karen!
Mike and Patti McCall
Karen gave our small, intimate wedding such care and attention and made it a wonderful occasion for us, our friends and family to enjoy. In fact, all of my friends and family who attended the wedding commented on our wonderful officiant! We were so lucky to find Karen! Mike and I highly recommend Karen.
Debbi and Patrick McLean
Our wedding was a small and informal gathering of family and dear friends. Karen has such a wonderful presence and the ceremony perfectly expressed our spirits and love. She joined us in our home for the gathering afterward, adding to the intimate feeling of the day. It was exactly the kind of wedding we hoped for!! We highly recommend Karen to anyone!! Thank you Karen!!
Joanna and Justin Wheeler
Karen married us in a small, simple backyard wedding on 5/24/14. She did an amazing job! I loved how involved she let us be in the type of ceremony she performed and the vows we exchanged. She did wonderful at putting the unity sand ceremony together involving our children as this was a 2nd marriage for us both. I strongly recommend her to anyone!!!

Karen did fantastic! I wouldn't have chose anyone else! My girls who are all 5 though she was amazing and told me this was the best day ever! She worked with us on our perfectly imperfect wedding. Not only did I do it by myself but Mrs. Karen helped us along the way. She helped me talk through my fears and doubts before and on the big day. After our wedding it almost just feels like she fit right in like family! Thank you so much!♡
Keli Cavender
What a blessing to run across Karen to do our wedding! We are a middle aged young at heart couple who wanted a special, yet non-traditional ceremony. Karen immediately put me at ease with her knowledge, ideas, and calm. I can tell that this is not just a job to her, it is more of a calling. Quite refreshing to see in this world. I would highly recommend Karen to anyone!
Megan & Darby Holloway
Karen did such an amazing job with our ceremony! It was somewhat short noticed yet she made everything so perfect & exactly what WE wanted! As genuine & sincere as she sounds on the phone when you talk to her, she truly is ever more than that when you meet her! Her & her husband are so sweet! Our wedding was more than I could've ever imagined & it wouldn't have been as good without her & ALL the thoughts & time she put into it (her shirt even matched my colors exactly)! She made our ceremony just that... OURS!!! She said what we wanted from start to finish!!! We HIGHLY recommend Karen for any wedding! She accommodates each individuals needs!!! And she got the paperwork into the courthouse so fast that I got my marriage certificate in the mail in 2 1/2 days! P.S. She even is amazing at making bouquets, boutonnieres, etc.!!! :) Thanks so much Karen!!! 4-19-14
Paris & Joseph McFall
Joseph and I were so very touched by the words that Karen had at our wedding. We felt like she represented us well and described our love for one another perfectly. I would recommend Karen to anyone! Seeing her and her husband together as well was inspiring, but very positive, kind and helpful people. Thank you for making our special day perfect! 1-18-2014

Shay Jordan
When my husband and I sat down to plan our wedding, we knew we didn't want anything cookie cutter for our ceremony. For two folks living in the South that don’t come from a religious/Christian background, we were worried that we would have to settle for a ceremony that didn’t truly represent us as a couple. We were absolutely thrilled and relieved to find Karen. She was more than willing to help us find the perfect mix heartfelt, meaningful, and beautiful secular vows that really hit home for us. Our guests raved that we had a wonderful ceremony that made them feel warm and welcome. We loved having a wedding that was far from the too formal norm! We would definitely recommend Karen for anyone that wants a ceremony that is unique, beautiful and budget-friendly. Thanks again for all of your help and advice, Karen!
Ryan Hill
My wife and I wanted a wedding that portrayed our individualism and uniqueness and Karen helped us achieve our perfect ceremony. She was able to provide expert advice and guidance for the general idea we had developed and helped to make it an unforgettable day we can cherish forever. She met and got to know us personally and helped us incorporate unique parts of each of us into our Wedding. Karen made our day about myself and my wife's wants and needs and she far exceeded the expectations we had. We highly recommend Karen for any service she offers and know you will find her expert knowledge and everyday approach ability as wonderful as we have. Thanks, Karen!
Shannon Mallory
Our wedding day was amazing!!!!! Karen is a beautiful caring person!!!! She cares about your most important day, and the ceremony she conducts is beautiful. Please consider Karen to be a part of your life and important day; you will not be disappointed thank you Karen we are truly blessed!
Jade-Evette Strachan
Thank you, Karen!! Karen was a wonderful officiant and was very easy to work with. From our initial contact her communication was excellent the entire time. She offered a variety of options for how the ceremony could be conducted however she ensured that all final decisions were based on what we wanted as a couple. Thank-you!
Karen did a beautiful job with our wedding ceremony, and we found her counseling before the wedding date to be enlightening and extremely helpful in mitigating any conflict in our relationship. She helped us to understand ourselves and each other better with the Prepare Enrich program, working through a packet together and meeting to discuss every so often until its completion a little before the wedding.
In addition, she took a lot of time making sure that our ceremony was exactly what we wanted and was meticulous about making sure that everything ran smoothly. She was even available to help direct the rehearsal should the need arise.
We greatly enjoyed our experience with her and would recommend Karen to anyone, no matter their faith, getting married.
