Our Signature Ceremonies are One-of-a-Kind, Meaningful, Joyful & Inviting
We believe the ceremony is much more than the legal part you need to do before the party begins. Instead, it is about crafting a ceremony together that creates the total experience and sets the tone for the entire day. After the wedding, we want you to play the day repeatedly in your mind, so you won’t forget all those sweet and poignant memories that kicked off your amazing marriage.
"Finding the right words to describe all of the wonderful qualities about our officiant that can fit in one review is a difficult task! She is extremely organized, caring, and loving. The entire process, start to finish, was stress-free. And every part of our ceremony was personal to us; nothing was cookie-cutter. Her passion is second to none, and we couldn’t be happier or more grateful to have shared our day with her."
Emily and Ross were married at The Bridle Barn and Gardens in Mt. Horeb, WI
Personal and Custom Designed Wedding Ceremonies
|
We are committed to helping you create a celebration that includes all the components that best represent you. Some couples know what that looks like, and others need a little more help in the beginning. But by the wedding day, our couples have a clear picture of what marriage and commitment means to them. We do this by offering a plethora of options and ideas to choose from. We will guide you step-by-step in an easy, fun, and organized way to help you feel that the ceremony reflects your values so you can celebrate your love in front of the people that matter the most to you.

Our Custom Ceremony Includes
Complimentary Initial Consultation
Before you even book one of us, let’s get together for a complimentary initial consultation. We can meet either in person or connect virtually with video chatting or by phone. In the 1-hour meeting, we will get to know each other, talk about your wedding vision, things you are finding stressful, and what you can expect from us. We will talk about three different wedding styles we officiate (religious, spiritual, or secular ceremonies) and explain our process for putting together the ceremony step-by-step.
Second Meeting
How do you want your ceremony to feel? Personal, thoughtful, fun, or unique? This is when we bring all those details together. During this meeting, we will go in-depth about the choices you have made from the extensive menu of options we will provide. Thus you are intimately involved in the creation of your ceremony and get what you want. This is the stage where the rough draft is written and emailed to you for your approval. With a customized service in hand, you will feel confident knowing your wedding is a personal reflection of the commitment you are making to each other.

"Rev. Pat Werk was truly wonderful to work with! We were able to meet face to face to discuss exactly what we wanted our ceremony to look like, and she was very responsive to email communication. Pat was very organized, which made putting our ceremony script together very easy. She facilitated the rehearsal and checked in with our wedding party to answer any questions they had. Pat's attention to detail made us feel confident that our ceremony would be perfect."

Rehearsal
We get it. You have so many details swirling in your head because you want the day to be perfect, but you also want to be as much as possible in the moment and enjoy the wedding day. You want to feel celebrated, but all that attention on you as you walk down the aisle and stand up in front of everyone can feel uncomfortable, embarrassing, and awkward. This is where the rehearsal comes in and where we shine in comparison to less experienced officiants.
At the rehearsal, we will make sure your wedding party not only has fun but is also focused and knows exactly what to do so everyone feels confident knowing what to expect on the wedding day. The ceremony will run smoothly on the wedding day because we pay attention to the details that matter during the rehearsal.

"We were comfortable with Rev. Sarah Harrison from the first conversation we had with her. Koru makes planning your entire ceremony easy from start to finish. Sarah made sure that our wedding ceremony was personal and spoke about our relationship. During our ceremony, we had a reading where we incorporated 10 of our friends. It didn't even faze Sarah to help us plan and coordinate it during the rehearsal so that the transition was effortless! Sarah was warm, personable, and professional the entire time. Thank you for giving us the perfect wedding ceremony!"

"We didn't know what to expect when searching for a wedding officiant. Rev. Amy Gile from Koru Ceremony professional and easy to work with, but we also felt like she was a part of our family group. Her choices of different options to use were outstanding. She helped us to put together the best ceremony, based on our personalities and love for each other. We also had several guests comment on how well-spoken and warm her tone was. I would highly recommend Rev. Amy to anyone wanting the perfect ceremony done by a wonderful person."
