Celebrant Kim Kirkley
Do you believe your ceremony is the most important part of your wedding day?
Would you like your ceremony to feel like it was lovingly crafted by a dear friend who happens to be a ceremony expert?
Do you wish that your friends and family could feel how happy you are to be marrying?
Are you struggling to find the right person to officiate?
Celebrant Kim Kirkley officiates with meaning & joy.
Kim Kirkley is a "Modern Bride Trendsetter," Wedding Celebrant and Interfaith Minister and ceremony expert who honors and respects all beliefs and traditions – spiritual, secular and religious. She uses her (trained) voice acting skills to create a vibrant ceremony experience for all to hear and appreciate. Most importantly, couples have ‘word for word’ approval of the entire text of their wedding ceremony.
If you are struggling to find the right person to celebrate your union, there is a solution. If you find an officiant who approaches your
ceremony the right way, your wedding ceremony does not have to be stressful. In fact, it should be the highlight of your special day. A wedding ceremony is a singular event in our lives. It is one of the few occasions where we have the chance to be together and notice how wonderful it is to be alive. That is I why I love to create and perform meaningful, individually crafted wedding ceremonies that reflect couples truest desires. No cookie cutter ceremonies!

I had the privilege of appearing on the Monique Donyale Show of BKS1 Radio last night where I talked about relationships and my book about self-love and self-acceptance, A Cheer for Brown Skin: For Anyone Who Could Use a Reminder of Their Own Beauty, available at Amazon.com

Did you know that there are popular days to be married? This year we had November 11, 2011 or 11.11.11 as I would hear it called by bride and grooms as they asked about my availability. It was also a Friday and Veteran's Day and the New York City Clerk's offices were closed.
Most of the wedding officiants that I know had multiple ceremonies on that day. I performed one in the Ampitheater of one of New York's newest and most breathtaking parks, The High Line in Greenwich Village.
The always lovely Ladies Pavillion operated like New York's little sweet wedding chapel. I enjoyed watching the couples and officiants negotiate the use of this iconic space.
Next year, I imagine that the popular wedding dates may be March 9, 2012 or 3.9.12; and perhaps August 10, 2012 or 8.10.12. Only time will tell but I do know that the brides and grooms who make their arrangements before the New Year will have their choice of the best locations and vendors!
Happy Holidays!
