• Flexibility in accommodating last-minute changes

• A beautifully crafted, personalized ceremony that touched everyone present

As you embark on the journey of planning your wedding, one thing you definitely don't want to forget is booking your officiant!

Having the right person to officiate can make all the difference in creating a memorable and meaningful ceremony for you and your partner. To make sure that you've taken care of everything, here are a few things to keep in mind:

You want someone who will listen - when selecting an officiant, it's important to choose someone who will take the time to understand what type of ceremony you want and provide it for you.

Look at additional services - some officiants provide extra services such as vow writing assistance or other extras that can help make your day even more special.

Book early - if you're looking to get exclusive bonus services or just save yourself the hassle of scrambling last minute, try booking your officiant as early as possible! 🗓

By booking a great wedding officiant, like me, you'll be able to relax knowing that your union is being celebrated with the care and attention it deserves! 😊

🍂 Gratitude, Gobbles, and "I Do's" - What's Your Favorite Thanksgiving Tradition?

As the aroma of roasted turkey fills the air and families gather around tables laden with delicious dishes, I can't help but feel an overwhelming sense of gratitude. This Thanksgiving, I'm not just thankful for the usual suspects (hello, pumpkin pie!), but also for the incredible couples who've allowed me to be part of their love stories.

At Flower City Ceremonies, we're all about creating moments that last a lifetime. And isn't that what Thanksgiving is all about too? Here's why I think weddings and Thanksgiving have more in common than you might think:

• Both bring loved ones together for unforgettable celebrations
• They're filled with heartfelt toasts and speeches that leave us misty-eyed
• There's always that one relative who steals the show (looking at you, Uncle Bob!)
• The preparations can be stressful, but the joy of the day makes it all worthwhile
• And let's not forget - both involve some serious outfit planning!

As I raise my glass (or drumstick) this Thanksgiving, I'm sending a heartfelt "thank you" to all the amazing couples who've trusted me to officiate their special day. Your love stories inspire me every day.

Wishing you all a Thanksgiving filled with love, laughter, and maybe even a sneaky second slice of pie. Because hey, calories don't count on holidays, right?

From our Flower City Ceremonies family to yours - Happy Thanksgiving!

Love, patience, and a touch of industrial chic: The perfect recipe for a memorable wedding?

As a wedding officiant, we're always in awe of the unique ways couples choose to celebrate their love. Grace and Mark's wedding at Kin Event Space in Rochester, NY, was no exception. The moment Katie stepped into this converted shipping warehouse, she knew we were in for something special.

The blend of modern mixed with industrial heritage created a captivating backdrop for their heartfelt ceremony. As she spoke the words, "Marriage is perhaps the greatest and most challenging adventure of all human relationships," she could feel the energy of the space amplifying the power of their commitment.

What made this celebration truly unique was the couple's understanding that their wedding day was just the beginning. They embraced the idea that "no ceremony creates a marriage, only the couple can do that." It was a beautiful reminder that love is a daily choice, built on dedication, listening, and unwavering support.

Are you dreaming of a wedding that's as unique as your love story? As officiants, we'd be honored to help you craft a ceremony that reflects your journey and sets the tone for your greatest adventure yet. Let's create a moment that's authentically you – whether it's in a chic urban space or under the open sky. Ready to start planning? We're just a message away!

📜 Can a wedding ceremony be both personal and magical? This couple says YES!

Meet Brooke H., one of our beautiful brides who recently shared her experience working with me. Her words warmed my heart and reminded me why I love what I do:

"I can't say enough positive things about Keri! She's truly a joy to work with."

Here's what made Brooke's ceremony so special:

• We met twice before the big day to really get to know each other
• I crafted a ceremony that was extremely personalized to their love story
• Their suggestions were woven into the fabric of the ceremony, creating a magical gathering
• Guests were so impressed, they asked for my contact info!

As Brooke put it, "She pours her heart into her weddings and you can really tell!"

Love knows no borders, and neither does a beautiful wedding ceremony! 💖✨

As a wedding officiant, Katie is always moved by the unique stories couples bring to their special day. But Angelica and Jeff's bilingual celebration at The Highline in Rochester, NY? It was truly something extraordinary!

Imagine exchanging vows in the elegant North Ballroom under the crystal chandeliers. The Highline, with its timeless, classic aesthetic, provided the perfect backdrop for this multicultural union. As Katie stood before Angelica and Jeff, she couldn't help but feel the energy of two worlds coming together.

Their ceremony was a beautiful tapestry of languages, cultures, and love. We wove English and Spanish throughout, honoring Angie's Colombian heritage and creating a warm, inclusive atmosphere for all their guests. It was like watching a dance of words, each phrase bridging hearts and families.

What made this wedding truly special was how it celebrated not just the couple's love, but also their diverse backgrounds. As we often say in ceremonies, "Having different backgrounds has given you both the unique opportunity to see things that are familiar to you, through your partner's eyes for the first time." This couldn't have been truer for Angie & Jeff!

To all the couples out there planning their big day: Your love story is unique, and your ceremony should reflect that! Whether you're blending cultures, languages, or simply want a ceremony that's true to who you are, we're here to help bring your vision to life. Let's create a moment that's as special as your love story.

As a wedding officiant, there are moments that touch your heart deeply, and Bex and Casey's wedding at Climbing Bines Craft Ale Company was one of those unforgettable experiences. Standing amidst the picturesque backdrop of Seneca Lake, NY, I had the honor of uniting these two beautiful souls in matrimony.

The atmosphere was electric, with the gold and black color scheme adding a bold, contemporary touch to the rustic charm of this farm-to-barrel brewery.

What made this celebration truly unique was the perfect blend of love, craft, and community. Flowerwell's stunning arrangements complemented the hop fields, Simply Sweet's delectable creations satisfied every sweet tooth, and Farmhouse Table served up a feast that had everyone raving.

Bex and Casey's wedding was a testament to the power of love and acceptance. As an LGBTQ-friendly officiant, it fills me with joy to be part of such inclusive celebrations. If you're looking for an officiant who will honor your love story, embrace your unique style, and ensure your ceremony is a true reflection of you, I'd be thrilled to be part of your special day.

Remember, love is love, and every love story deserves to be celebrated. Now booking for upcoming seasons – let's create a ceremony that's as unique as your love! 💖

As your wedding officiant, I recommend creating an intimate and memorable ceremony by kindly asking guests to keep their cell phones tucked away.

This allows everyone to be fully present and enjoy the moment without distractions.

✨ Unplugged Ceremony Tip: Consider having a social media moment at the beginning of the ceremony where the guests are satisfied with a photo of the couple at the altar and don’t feel deprived when they’re asked to unplug and put their phones away.

Are you going to have an unplugged wedding?

I had the honor of officiating the wedding of Jessica and Chad at the rustic Toganenwood Estate Barn Weddings.

From the moment I arrived, the vibrant colors of teal, burnt orange, and white transformed the venue into a tapestry of love and joy. Double arches adorned the altar, perfectly framing the couple as they exchanged their vows.

Being a part of Jessica and Chad's special day was an unforgettable experience. The atmosphere was filled with humor, love, and just an overall fun vibe.

Seeing their joy and hearing their laughter and cheers as their ring bearer and flower woman walking down to “In the Air Tonight” and pulling out money guns at the epic drum solo, shooting out money with Chad and Jessica’s face on it was something I won’t soon forget.

This wedding was truly unique, not only because of the stunning color scheme and decor with all the florals made by the bride herself but also because of the personal touches that Jessica and Chad added.

For engaged couples looking for a memorable and meaningful ceremony, I offer a personalized touch that brings your dream wedding to life.

Planning your big day? Don't forget one of the most important details - booking your wedding officiant! 📖💍

First Things First: Your officiant plays a crucial role in your ceremony, so it's wise to book them early in your planning process.

Date Secure: By securing your officiant early, you can rest easy knowing that the person who will pronounce you 'married' is locked in for your special day.

Personal Connection: Booking early also gives you plenty of time to build a relationship with your officiant, ensuring they fully understand your vision for the ceremony.

Ceremony Crafting: The sooner you book, the more time you'll have to work together on crafting a ceremony that truly reflects your love story.

Remember, your wedding is about more than just a beautiful venue or a stunning dress - it's about celebrating your love. And without an officiant, it’s just an expensive party!

Being a part of Kayla and Connor's wedding as their officiant was an absolute honor. Standing at the altar of Westminster Weddings and Events, surrounded by the glow of the stained glass windows, felt like stepping into a dream. The serene whites and colorful bursts of glass created a backdrop that felt both sacred and special and made their vows even more magical.

What truly set their wedding apart was the personal touch brought by a charming wood sign which served as their guest book, capturing heartfelt messages from friends and family—a keepsake they will cherish forever.

Choosing me as their officiant was a decision guided by their desire for a ceremony that was both deeply meaningful and gracefully simple. From the first moment we connected, it was clear that our energies aligned to bring their vision to life.
