We had a perfect October wedding with Rev. Katherine officiating. We met prior for a one on two session, then a few emails and a phone call, and together we put together a very personal and memorable ceremony!! We wholeheartedly recommend her for your feature nuptials as well as funerals, as that where we first encountered her, give a very touching eulogy. read more

Rev. Katherine created a beautiful ceremony for us with the perfect balance of solemnity, joy and lightheartedness. I was impressed with the attention and consideration she gave us even knowing we were having a small, simple wedding with only a few guests. All of her communication was timely and thorough. From the initial consultation conversation through to the touchbase the night before, she took the time to make sure we were happy with the vows and comfortable knowing what to do during each part of the ceremony. She brought unique touches to the ceremony like including family and friends and acknowledging those who were unable to attend but here in their hearts. We did an outdoor ceremony and Rev. Katherine was very flexible and openminded, game for a small hike to get to our spot and unfazed by windy weather the day of. Her knowledge and experience in officiating in the Bay Area is apparent and I was grateful she so readily shared her advice and recommendations with us. The combination of professionalism, kindness, and humor that Rev. Katherine brought to the preparation and ceremony was just fantastic, allowing us to relax knowing we were in great hands. I can't recommend Rev. Katherine enough. I'm so happy to have chosen her as our officiant and thankful that she graced us with her gift in crafting and leading such a wonderful ceremony. read more

I showed this review to my husband and he was incredibly surprised as well to Kathryn's response and clearly her memory isn't accurate. I'm 100% positive she left before the rehearsal was done and also happy to share proof via email to anyone who wants it that she was getting us confused with another couple during that time repeatedly... via email, during the rehearsal and during the ceremony wasn't 100% sure what she was saying was correct. We also let our coordinator know after our wedding know of what happened and that we were not happy with her recommendation. For what we paid I would have expected a little more professionalism or at minimum an apology instead of refuting what I wrote in my original post. read more

We had Rev. Katherine officiate our wedding and couldn't have picked anyone better. She was communicative and flexible. Going in my husband and I had no clue what we wanted but we ended up with the most gorgeous ceremony that everyone was teary eyed and talking about after! Loved loved loved her! read more

They say that first impressions are usually true and with Katherine, the old cliche proved to be spot on. Within one minute of meeting her in person, I knew that I wanted her to be at the heart of our ceremony. Finding and then choosing Katherine to officiate our ceremony was one of the best decisions we made for the most important day in our lives as a couple. Katherine is intuitive, caring, helpful, intelligent, and fun! She commands a natural, but strong presence, and her ceremony is unique and contains elements that were totally new to my ears (and I've been to a ton of weddings). Katherine provided us with her draft ceremony and was excited to work with us on some back-and-forth edits that would eventually create a ceremony that was absolutely perfect for us. Our wedding was last fall and to this day, I still receive compliments about how unique and sincere our vows were. Katherine was also a wonderful mentor and coach, helping to keep us focused on the beauty of what our main intention was for the day. One night, I was feeling particularly overwhelmed with one planning aspect of the wedding and coincidentally, it was that very night that Katherine called just to check in and see how i was. After a 30 minute heart-to-heart conversation, I felt reassured and immensely better. She's soooooo good like that! And on the practical side, she helped to keep us on time with the development of our customized ceremony and reminded us of the importance of being punctual for our dress rehearsal. Because we had a decent-sized wedding with 150 guests, she even shared some practical advice that would ensure we got time in with all of our guests. What really set Katherine apart from other officiants I've seen at other weddings is that despite not knowing us, she genuinely cared about us as a couple. She spent a lot of time simply getting to know us at our first meeting. She called to check in on me. She spent a lot of time with us during our "touch base" calls/meetings for the ceremony draft. And our calls weren't just about business, it was "how are you" and "how are you feeling" and "remember what this day is about..." It was so great talking to her because things just felt simpler and more in control afterwards. Katherine also cared about our community of friends and family. After both the dress rehearsal and wedding, she made the rounds and visited with our friends and family, confidently introducing herself and getting to know people. She made such a lasting impression on our loved ones! A few last important words about Katherine that is especially meant for anyone considering hiring her for their wedding. Trust that with Katherine, you can achieve the style and mood that you so desire for your wedding ceremony. She is soooo unbelievably flexible and open-minded and I've known her to cater to anyone's lifestyle, faith, or culture. She comes with a spirit of collaboration, but she's experienced enough to take the lead so you will have no worries or surprises on how your ceremony will look and feel. Katherine is a beautiful woman both inside and out and you will be super proud to have her preside over the most important day of your life. read more

I'm so glad that we decided to work with Katherine as the officiant for our wedding! We reviewed several options online, reading through several reviews. When we initially reached out to Katherine, she called us for an introduction phone call. Note: we live in St. Louis but were having our wedding in San Francisco - so planning from afar is quite nerve-racking! After my call with her, I told my fiancé that she was the one. She was so kind and really took the time to get to know us. She e-mailed us several versions of the vows and we were able to make edits to them. When our wedding got closer, my fiancé and I had a Skype call with Katherine. We did not feel thousands of miles away. We really appreciated her doing a Skype call with us to read through our vows. Katherine's ceremonies can be tailored to your needs. My husband and I come from different religious backgrounds, mine is Christian and his is Hindu, so we were able to have a ceremony about love, relationships and spirituality, rather than focusing on one religion. The vows and ceremonies that Katherine has are truly beautiful and somewhat unique. On our wedding day, Katherine was truly a rock. I did not see the groom until I walked out with my Dad, but I know Katherine was making sure that the groom had his nerves under control all that she could. She also worked with our musicians, Corelli Strings, and our photographer, Sasha Photography, to make sure they were all coordinated and on the same page. Katherine really shows up and takes the reins! We received so many compliments regarding Katherine. We truly loved working with her and would definitely recommend her to any couple for their wedding. (Married at San Francisco City Hall on 7/24/15) read more

Katherine is incredible. I sent Katherine an e-mail to check if she was available and she called me the following day to introduce herself. We talked for more than 30 minutes and when I got off the phone with her, I felt as though I had just spoken to an old friend. A few weeks later, we went to her home and went over some ideas about our ceremony. She answered questions and offered a lot of ideas. She is a true professional. We went back and fourth about five times making changes on the ceremony so that it was perfect! My husband and I each had a lot of ideas about our wedding ceremony and we wanted to find someone who would understand both of our ideas, and incorporate them into our ceremony. During our wedding weekend, Katherine was wonderful. She helped to make the rehearsal go smoothly, she kept us laughing and made an effort to get to know both of our families. On our wedding day, she kept me calm, made us both laugh. Our families and friends are still talking about how unique and beautiful our ceremony was, as well as how poised, confident and funny our officiant was. She is the best. read more

A perfect ceremony during difficult times In a nutshell - Katherine saved the day. My wife and I had everything planned before COVID-19 shut everything down and let almost cancel the whole wedding. We could arrange a lot of it by ourselves, but we needed an officiant and Katherine immediately agreed with only a few. She directly understood our situation, helped us to arrange everything given the new circumstances and made us feel having a perfect wedding - even though this was difficult at that time. The ceremony was intimate (obviously) and personal as we worked together to personalize and emotionalize the blessings, prayers and farewells and with the families and friends joining on Zoom - she made all of us feel like it is a big family gathering. That moment was indeed special, and given the special circumstances, made even more special through her. Thank you. D. & D. read more

We are from out of state and our redwoods wedding couldn't have been better. From our first connection, Katherine made us feel as if we were the only people in the world. Her calming and collected approach provided us with guidance as she lead us through our wedding planning, complete with venue, vows, flowers, photography, vacation cottage and celebration location. She is a spiritual gift. Every aspect was so well done and personal; there isn't a rating high enough to sing my praises for her. If there were 10 star ratings she would need 20! read more

Katherine officiated our small, non-religious wedding ceremony in November 2021 and we were beyond pleased with how it went. She brought the perfect balance of intimacy and levity to the ceremony, and we heard from several of our loved ones that it was one of the most touching ceremonies they have witnessed. Katherine was very accommodating and reliable throughout the planning process too. Would definitely recommend Katherine! read more

Everyone here has said so many wonderful things about Katherine and it's all true. She's kind, caring, professional, patient, genuine, creative, calming, and well, the best :) From the very first call I had with Katherine, there was such an ease in talking to her that I felt like I was chatting with an old friend. I explained what we were thinking of for our wedding and she was more than open, bringing in her experiences and wisdom as well. We had so many ideas for our ceremony and Katherine was able to help us focus and refine it. When we had even more ideas, she was super patient and worked with us to make it even better. The big day came and we couldn't have been more happy with how beautiful and special our ceremony turned out to be. Many of our family and friends commented on how memorable and unique it was. We're so grateful to have found Katherine and feel like we have made a dear friend for life. read more

Working with Katherine was the best decision we could have made! Katherine is truly a fantastic person and a outstanding wedding officiant. Working with Katherine to prepare the ceremony was very easy, within the first call we had with her, we felt like we'd known her for a while and were already friends. Katherine is very very experienced, calm and fun! She helped us figure out what we wanted and made her own suggestions, she put together a great ceremony and prepared everything in advance. The ceremony was perfect, all our guests gave us feedback that they were touched and that they absolutely loved it, that it was the best wedding ceremony they had seen! I highly recommend Katherine! I loved working with her and would advise everyone to do so! Thank you Katherine for a perfect ceremony! read more

Katherine officiated at our wedding this past August in our back yard. We found Katherine online and spoke on the phone initially. She had so many good ideas for the ceremony. We knew she was the right person when we found ourselves in tears after hearing her ideas. We had a few email exchanges about details and helping to write the vows, and later we video chatted. Katherine was super punctual, professional, friendly with all the guests, and helped take charge of many details on the day of the event. She had the right blend of spirituality and fun to fit our families. It was an emotional ceremony, but also joyful. Having Reverend Katherine officiate was one of our best wedding decisions. We heard a lot of compliments for her from our guests. read more

Wedding Ceremonies By Rev. Katherine - Officiants Near Me

We were struggling to find someone to serve as officiant and booked Katherine within the last month of planning. We are both pretty indecisive about particulars, and Katherine's preparedness and flexibility really dissolved all of our trepidation in short order. She was able to offer her expertise, work with our desires, and delivered a beautiful ceremony seemingly with ease. I had multiple people tell me it was the best wedding they have ever been to, and she was a large part of it. read more

Katherine was a wonderful officiant. She was sensitive and helpful discussing vows. She had wonderful suggestions!

When my fiance and I set out to find the officiant for our wedding, we were searching for someone who could naturally integrate spirituality with various expressions of love without introducing a major religious element. Within minutes of emailing Katherine, she responded with a call, and after asking just a few questions, we were confident we had found the right person to make our special day official. Over the wedding planning period, Katherine worked with us to integrate elements of Turkish tradition, Jewish culture, and spirituality. Not only was she incredibly open to making the ceremony our own, but she also worked hard to ensure she had the pronunciations of each of our Turkish wedding party and family members correct. Katherine was wonderful at our rehearsal since 5 of the 8 members in our wedding party had never stood up in an American wedding before. She gracefully orchestrated the rehearsal and brought a sense of calm and ease to the group. The day of the wedding, Katherine was a reassuring presence. When everyone coached us to "not cry" before the wedding, she repeatedly encouraged release. And, by doing so, we were able to gather ourselves for the ceremony itself. We highly recommend Katherine! She is truly a blessing! read more

Katherine officiated our wedding last year, and I am so thankful to have found her. My husband and I do not belong to a local church and are new to Marin. We didn't know any officiants or ministers and needed to find one for our ceremony . Old St. Hillary's recommended several officiants, and one of them was Katherine Revoir. We interviewed several ministers and had become increasingly frustrated with our choices. Enter Katherine Revoir. She was genuine, and kind, and charismatic. She took into account all of our requests, and customized a beautiful ceremony for us that was both meaningful and authentic. On the day of the wedding, she created a warm and intimate atmosphere that put us and our guests at ease. There was laughter and tears, and many unforgettable moments. We received so many wonderful comments after the wedding. Several of our guests said it was the best wedding they had ever attended, and they really felt like they were part of the ceremony. Planning a wedding is so stressful. Feel confident in knowing that choosing Katherine is one decision you will not regret. read more

Wedding Ceremonies By Rev. Katherine - Officiants Near Me

My husband and I got married in October of last year. We got married on a yacht in Sausalito and were originally going to have the captain marry us. We started to feel this was a little impersonal and when thinking of people to officiate our ceremony we immediately thought of Rev. Katherine. She spoke at my father's memorial in August of last year and did a beautiful job. She was so warm and caring that we knew she was the person to officiate our ceremony. We absolutely could not be happier with having Rev. Katherine perform our ceremony. She made it very personal and romantic. She had lots of examples of her past ceremonies and helped to guide us through to figure out what we wanted. She did a beautiful job of speaking from the heart about marriage and our future life together. An extra touch that we thought was great was she suggested to add a joke or two which really helped to put our guests at ease. We highly recommend Katherine and are so glad that we decided to use her! read more

We found Katherine on Yelp for our wedding. She helped us create a beautiful and personal ceremony. We met with Katherine at her house early on to start planning, then followed up with a few phone calls as the wedding approached. She was always very helpful and thought of every detail. Both families loved her at her at the rehearsal (which we had in her back yard). The day of everything went perfect. Many of our friends asked how we met her, and couldn't believe we found her online since the ceremony was so personal. We are so happy we used Katherine and highly recommend her. read more

How can I convey in a few short, helpful sentences just how amazing Katherine is and what a wonderful job she did to make our wedding special and memorable for all of us? Looking back on our perfect day, what my (new) wife and I, and all of our friends and family agree on was that the ceremony that Katherine crafted for us was the best that any of us had ever attended. We live in a world where we have very few remaining traditions and rituals to celebrate, and also we are blessed to have friends and family representing a broad range of beliefs and backgrounds. Katherine navigated all of this perfectly and worked with us to craft a ceremony that was loving, inclusive, funny, emotional, spiritual and contemporary, all at the same time. Katherine's deeply personal, individually tailored service, combined with all her experience and know-how made the wedding magical. Katherine knows how to pace the wedding so that the congregation is continually engaged and never bored, and most importantly for us, the bride and groom get a chance to laugh and take a break from the emotional bits that made us cry! This alone makes Katherine worth every penny. But what I would also add is that her experience is a lifesaver when it comes to having a calm head in the middle of the chaos of the big day. I'm a notoriously organised and calm guy myself, but even I became a blithering idiot on the day itself! So it was a great comfort to have Katherine there to take charge! Thanks again Katherine for a perfect wedding! read more

From the first phone conversation we had we Katherine we knew she was everything we were looking for. We approached her 4 weeks before our wedding and told her about our plan to hold a midnight ceremony. Katherine was happy to accommodate us on a short notice. Katherine asked all the right questions and got a pretty good sense of who we are and what we would like in about 5 minutes of conversation. Meeting with her to plan the ceremony was even more delightful. What I loved is her deep sense of holding space for the couple - her utter sense of responsibility for everything related to the ceremony and her ways to make the ceremony our own, by coming up with unique ways to include our guests and our children. Everyone leaving the ceremony said it was unique, incredibly loving and touching. Katherine is everything you would like in an officiant: warm, inclusive, wise, grounded and entertaining. Thanks to Katherine our special night was even more special! read more

We could not have wished for a better person to perform our wedding ceremony than Katherine. She provided us with plenty of options and also welcomed our feedback. Our ceremony was small and very casual. We even had a few last minute changes, literally, which Katherine incorporated with ease. I highly recommend Katherine. I would definitely use her again at my next wedding. read more

Katherine officiated our wedding last year. I found her through other reviews and gave her a call. She instantly made me feel so comfortable. I knew she'd be great. Katherine listened to what we wanted in the ceremony and put a great ceremony together for us. It was perfect. She spent a lot of time with us making sure that we were comfortable, talking about our wishes for the ceremony and going over it a couple times together. When the day came she was a huge part of making it run smoothly since it was just us and the family organizing everything and we had no idea what to do! Katherine made us feel so relaxed. The ceremony was so loving and spiritual and also made us laugh. I would definitely recommend Katherine to anyone looking for an officiant. read more

I am a wedding planner and since working with Katherine a few weeks ago have already recommended her for future ceremonies! Katherine was such a pleasure to work with. Calm, professional, and a joy to be around. Katherine and I worked as a team, it was easy to coordinate with her. She made both the rehearsal and ceremony very special for the couple, which included tears of joy, laugher, and overwhelming happiness. I also loved how she included the guests in the ceremony and made the room feel intimate and warm. I highly recommend her services to any couple! read more

Katherine was a fantastic officiant. From the first phone conversation, we knew she'd work with us to carefully create a ceremony we'd love, and she certainly did that; but she also directed the rehearsal and led the ceremony itself - both of which were flawless. She provided us with a script from which we could easily develop just the right language and components for our ceremony. Her demeanor was just right, and her inner and outer beauty gave the ceremony a wonderfully warm feeling. Everyone was very pleased with Katherine's work and we'd recommend her highly. read more

Rev. Katherine was outstanding! Instead of just going off of a standard script, she met with us and discussed the ceremony, then made changes to reflect who we are. Our ceremony was a reflection of our personalities and who we are as a couple. It was funny, heartwarming, and kept our guests entertained, all at the same time. We can't say enough wonderful things about her. HIRE HER, HIRE HER HIRE HER!!! read more

My husband and I could not have been happier with our ceremony. Katherine was really easy to work with. She had all these really wonderful and unique ceremony options that helped add a personalized touch to our ceremony that really made it feel personalize. She's also a wonderful writer--every part of the ceremony was so thoughtfully thought through and really spoke to everyone about the meaningfulness of marriage. You go through several drafts to make sure your ceremony is perfect, which we really appreciated. Your wedding ceremony is special and truly a once in a lifetime moment and Katherine made it unique and memorable. Many guests came to us and told us how sweet and special the ceremony was for this. She also gave us last minute pointers to make sure we knew exactly what to do and calmed our nerves. We really felt like we were in good hands with someone who truly believed in the power of love and happiness. Thank you, Katherine! read more

Katherine's ceremony was lovely and meaningful. She is easy to work with and accommodated our special request for a love lock unity ritual. We were so glad to have her officiate! read more

I really do not know where to begin. She is is just all around amazing. We had a last minute civil ceremony in Muir Woods this weekend. she was contacted by us only about 2 weeks before and Katherine put everything so fast together, it was amazing. The ceremony was personal, sweet, funny, and perfect. She helped us with endless ideas like where to eat after the ceremony, gathered our wedding group together at the woods as she patiently waited for my late group, and even found the perfect spot for us to get married in Muir woods. She even did a wonderful job saying some phrases in Spanish for us. Our wedding was scheduled on a certain day and it poured that day in the woods, and Katherine moved her whole schedule to accommodate our new date. My husband and I felt such calmness and peace from her as she helped us with our nervousness on our day, that in return made us feel the same. We love her. She was perfect for our wedding, and we are so thankful for all her help, patients, time, and effort. read more

I am so happy we chose Rev. Katherine to officiate our wedding. From the first time we spoke on the phone I felt an immediate comfort and peace while talking to her. She offered many fun and meaningful ideas to add to our ceremony and she was genuinely interested in getting to know my partner and I during the planning stages of the wedding. She honestly was my rock and her presence and words during the ceremony will always be remembered. I can't imagine having anyone else. We got so many compliments from our guests too. You really can't go wrong with Katherine. She's great! read more

Katherine married my husband and I in a beautiful, loving ceremony this fall. I received so many compliments on the ceremony from our wedding guests! Katherine is so good at making everyone feel at ease; she told the groom a joke before they walked up the aisle so he came in with a big smile. While my matron of honor and I were getting ready for the wedding, Katherine did a breathing meditation that melted away our stress. Our ceremony was mostly secular but Katherine would have given us a spiritual, or religious ceremony weaving in humor and love. I am happy to give Katherine a glowing recommendation! read more

Coming from the East Coast we looked for someone we could work with remotely to design just the wedding we wanted - Katherine was perfect. She was interested in us as a couple, had great suggestions for how to build a ceremony including providing a starting template, and worked with us as we made changes to the ceremony. We were fortunate in that she had been the Officiant at weddings at the Panama Hotel before, and was able to make suggestions regarding the venue. On the day of the wedding she arrived early so we could make last-minute adjustments to the layout, and ran us through a quick rehearsal so that we knew which way to turn and when it was our time to participate. Katherine guided us through the vows we made, so that we didn't have to memorize them, and was a source of support and humor throughout the process of working together and especially during the ceremony. For example, when one of the children insisted on shedding the flowers and then ran behind a nearby plant, we all laughed and incorporated the hijinks into the ceremony. When I ad libed something, Katherine went with it and expanded upon my point. She was a steady rock of support and humor, and really seemed to enjoy the event, along with us. If we had to choose again, we'd definitely go with Katherine. read more
