How I cater to offbeat weddings

Working with couples to identify the mood they want to create and feelings they want to experience on their special day and then actualizing that vision is what I do. I’m a big fan of both the profound and the profane, and I love getting weird and creative. Think of me as equal parts professional, advisor, friend and soul sister, someone who can provide you with wild ideas if that’s your thing but also a sense of confidence, ease and presence during the special moments in your life.

Can’t wait to meet you!

"We worked with Katherine for our September 2021 wedding ceremony and cannot recommend her highly enough! We’re still getting compliments on our ceremony from family and friends, more than a month later; so many people have commented that it sounded like she’d known us for years. She worked with us to create a ceremony that was sincere, meaningful, joyful, and personal, without being religious (our preference), and it was exactly what we were hoping for! We appreciated that she was a clear communicator, clarified key points with us, was open to collaboration, and came prepared on the day-of. Look no further, you’re in very capable hands with Rev. for your ceremony!"

Cover Image

REQUIRED. Select one image to be used as your cover image, which will appear on the category and location pages. Square images work best. Important: Until you add a cover image, your listing will not appear on category or location pages.

Highlighted Images

Please select up to three images to be highlighted in the header of your portfolio. Note that our templates are designed to be responsive, which means that these images will crop differently depending on the viewer's browser size and orientation -- on mobile, images map crop horizontally. On huge desktops, they may crop vertically. That's as intended, although it may result in some headless couples depending on your photo composition.

How I cater to offbeat weddings

This is one of the most important fields on your vendor listing! Our readers love to feel special and like you understand the issues that are important to them -- stuff like LGBTQ support, gender-neutral contracts, and inclusive sizing. They also love hearing about how offbeat YOU are, so be sure to mention any of your own quirks as a way to relate to folks.
