We could not have asked for a more wonderful experience with Rev. Kelsey Kresse as our officiant. We wanted an intimate, faith-centered ceremony before our larger wedding, and Rev. Kelsey made that vision come to life beautifully. She was incredibly warm and responsive, taking the time to meet with us and thoughtfully plan the ceremony. Communication was seamless, and her caring presence added so much to our special day. Our ceremony was everything we had hoped for and more, and having Rev. Kelsey there made it truly unforgettable.

Kelsey was AMAZING and so friendly and warm. While she is a pastor, we opted for a nonreligious wedding. I wasn’t sure how the format of the ceremony would be without the religious aspect and I wasn’t sure what to do for vows, but Kelsey had a prompt available that resonated with us and said everything we wanted to say. On the big day she was prompt, professional, and made us feel at ease. I even said it felt like we were 3 good old friends hanging out up at the arch during the ceremony. I highly recommend inviting Kelsey to be a part of your day, too!

Rev. Kelsey made our wedding so special and found us a church near where we lived so we could have our ceremony in our county. She met us with a huge smile and made our ceremony beautiful, loving and fun...

Rev Kelsey was OUTSTANDING for our event. She was so kind and responsive when coordinating logistics and the customized service she put together was so thoughtful and unique! I couldn’t have asked for a better officiant. If you’re looking, book her!
