    Amazing experience

    Kimberly was amazing to work with! She was in contact with me consistently from the point we booked her, to the day of the wedding. She made the process of getting our marriage license seamless, and helped us with crafting the perfect vows. She is amazing, and I would highly recommend her.

    Kimberly is wonderful

    My husband and I decided to elope to Napa Valley and have a ceremony on the napa wine train. A beautiful ceremony was recommended, and I cannot express how happy I am with the choosing Kimberly as our officiant. She helped me from the very first call with everything, the photographer, makeup artist, where to obtain the license and where to stay. She consistently sent text to me to ensure I was getting everything in order and always asked if I needed help. I loved how she always ended our text with " I'm here for you". She met with us after obtaining the marriage license and filed it with the clerk's office after we left. I felt like I've known her forever. She is wonderful. I would recommend a beautiful ceremony to anyone who is getting married in Napa Valley or the surrounding areas.

    Amazing Experience

    From our first call, Kimberly was absolutely fantastic in guiding us through the ceremony and marriage license logistics. Her enthusiasm and amazing personality made us feel right at home, and she was so quick to respond to all our questions. So many of our guests told us how much they enjoyed the ceremony afterwards, and Kimberly's expertise made obtaining the marriage license such and easy process for us. She is diligent, detail oriented and such a delight to have on our team. We could not recommend A Beautiful Ceremony more highly!

    Throughout the ceremony, her eloquent delivery and calming presence enveloped us, as if time itself had slowed down, allowing us to savor every moment. Her words resonated deeply with everyone present, creating an atmosphere of pure joy and unity. We received countless compliments from our guests, all praising Kimberly’s ability to make them feel like part of our love story.

    But it was not just their performance during the ceremony that impressed us. In the lead-up to the big day, she was a pillar of support, offering guidance and reassurance whenever we needed it. Her professionalism and attention to detail ensured that every aspect of the ceremony flowed seamlessly, leaving us free to focus on the magic of the occasion.

    Kimbery’s passion for her craft and dedication to making our day truly special was evident in every interaction. She went above and beyond, staying in touch even after the ceremony, ensuring that our newlywed journey began with an abundance of happiness and blessings.

    We are eternally grateful to have had such an amazing wedding officiant, who played an integral role in making our wedding day unforgettable. If you are looking for someone who will infuse your ceremony with love, authenticity, and genuine care, we wholeheartedly recommend her. She will forever hold a special place in our hearts, and we can't thank her enough for making our day a dream come true.

    Wonderful experience!!

    Kimberly was very knowledgeable about how the wedding license process works and was able to answer various questions we had. She has a great personality and we really enjoyed working with her. Kimberly went out of her way to meet us to retrieve the license prior to our wedding to make the process extremely easy. She did a wonderful job officiating for us. We highly recommend Kimberly for your wedding!!

    A Perfect Ceremony Thanks to Our Amazing Officiant

    We had the most wonderful experience with Kimberly as our wedding officiant. From the very beginning, she was incredibly helpful and informative. She guided us through the process of obtaining our marriage license, ensuring everything was in order for our big day.

    One of the standout aspects of working with her was the assistance she provided with our wedding vows. She took the time to actively listen to our story and helped us craft vows that were deeply meaningful and personal. Her guidance made the vow-writing process smooth and enjoyable.

    Throughout the planning phase, she was always available to answer any questions we had. Her responsiveness and warm personality made us feel at ease, and it was evident that she genuinely cared about making our ceremony special.

    On the wedding day, her ceremony was eloquent and heartfelt. She delivered the words with such grace and emotion, creating a touching and memorable experience for us and our guests.

    We are beyond grateful for Kimberly's contribution to our special day. Her professionalism, expertise, and kindness made a significant impact on the overall success of our wedding. We highly recommend her to any couple seeking an officiant who goes above and beyond to make the ceremony meaningful and stress-free.

    Perfect in every way!

    Our experience with Kimberly was fabulous from beginning to end. She outlined every step flawlessly and took the time to meet with us both via phone and in person. Even after the ceremony was over she followed up with us to ensure we had the information to secure an official marriage license. The ceremony was nothing short of perfect. I would highly recommend Kimberly!!

    Kimberly was the best decision we made for our wedding!

    If you are looking for an officiant, look no further! Kimberly was absolutely amazing to work with for our wedding. From the very first call we had with her we felt right at home. She was there to help us with every step along the way and had so much insight and advice that made the wedding planning process so much easier. She is a breath of fresh air to have in your corner as a bride! She really got to know my husband and me and she feels like family now! She delivered the most beautiful ceremony that many of our friends and family are still talking about. I know that even though our wedding is over Kimberly isn't going anywhere. If I had to do it all over again would absolutely hire Kimerbly in a heartbeat!

    Perfect Experience

    Kimberly was fantastic to work with. From the beginning, she was extremely helpful, informative, and well organized. She made what I thought would be a daunting task so easy. Kimberly was extremely responsive and kept me in the loop through the whole process, she even helped us with the photographer and hair / makeup choices being that we weren't from the area. The big day finally arrived, and she was so comfortable and inviting to share our special moment with. I cannot recommend her enough and hope I get to meet her again in the future if we are ever so lucky to attend a wedding in her area in the future.

    Amazing Ceremony

    Kimberly was such a joy to work with throughout our wedding. You can tell that she is a pro by how straightforward and organized her process is. With that being said, we still felt like she took the time to really get to know us and ensure that our ceremony was tailored for exactly what we were looking for. She provided great examples to help us craft the ceremony flow and was always quick with communication. We can’t thank her enough for her role in our special day.

    Kimberly is absolutely amazing! She made the entire process so easy and enjoyable.

    Kimberly now feels like family to us! Due to Covid we had more time to get to know her. She made sure to keep in touch during the extra year, making sure we remembered everything we needed to know and that she knew us as a couple.
    She provided a wonderful portal of different wedding vows that we could choose from making it super easy. We didn’t write our own vows, but with the ones that she provided we were able to piece together vows that were perfect for us and felt super personal.
    The day of she was just perfect! A calming, beautiful presence that every bride needs. She spoke so beautifully that many guests commented on how wonderful she was. I would absolutely do it all over again with Kimberly in a heartbeat.

    Very knowledgeable and lovely officiant, highly recommended!

    Kimberly was definitely a pleasure to work with and she was very helpful in guiding us through the wedding process end-to-end. This included everything from obtaining the license to the writing to the logistics of the entire ceremony. Thank goodness for Kimberly! We also had such a great time chatting on the phone and going through the preparation. She is a great "go to" if you plan on having your special day in the Napa area.

    WE LOVE KIMBERLY, The Best Experience in Our Wedding

    This is almost 1yr after our wedding (I know, so late for our vendor reviews 😬) but WE LOVE KIMBERLY! Honestly, she's probably 1 of the best decisions of the entire wedding - our entire process with her was amazing & we couldn't recommend her more, everyone needs her on their big day as their officiant! Truly, 1 of the best experiences.

    15yr Vow Renewal

    I surprised my wife with a 15yr vow renewal at the beautiful Meritage Resort and Spa. Kimberly made this surprise simple yet fancy. She helped orchestrate a wonderful surprise and went above and beyond on her duties to make it an unforgettable day. Her personality and passion for her job made it feel like we knew her forever. She made our quaint ceremony personal, loving and special. I would highly recommend Kimberly for any wedding or vow renewal.

    Perfect Wedding

    When my husband and I decided to get married in Napa, while on our vacation, we called Kimberly on a Friday and she performed the ceremony 5 days later. We got married at a winery and she performed the ceremony there. The ceremony was perfect. We were so happy. We recommend Kimberly not only because she was prompt she is professional and you will be happy to have her perform your wedding.

    I loved having Kimberly as our officiant

    Kimberly was such a pleasure to work with during our planning process. I had no idea what I wanted our wedding ceremony to be like and she graciously and patiently walked us through the entire process. She is so sweet and I enjoyed my conversations with her. I wish we could go back in time and do it again!

    Best Officiant Ever!!!

    We appreciated the fact that Kimberly took a lot of time to get to know us before marrying us. It made our day so much more special having this connection. The ENTIRE process from start to finish was seamless! She coached us every step of the way from the paperwork process down to how to light your unity candle in high winds and not look awkward because it won't light (true story). You can tell she has a real passion for what she does, but most of all you can authentically feel her happiness for our love story which spoke deeply to my heart!

    Kimberly is the officiant you dream about and see in movies.

    Kimberly was with us every step of the way. We had an intake call and instantly connected. Kimberly checked all our boxes. The experienced, nurturing, professional, hilarious woman officiant I envisioned when we began our search. Kimberly's approach felt like a safety blanket and she comes with so much knowledge and instruction. There was so much we didn't know going into the logistical process and Kimberly filled all the gaps with us. If hiring Kimberly, be prepared for her full investment in both of you, your journey and outcome of one of the most important days of your life. Kimberly has left an imprint on our hearts, and our families feel the same.

    Best Wedding Officiant!

    As a Napa and Sonoma Wedding Photographer, I have worked with Kimberly Thompson countless times over the years. Her professionalism and dedication to her clients are unmatched. She goes above and beyond to deliver a meaningful ceremony customized to reflect the unique relationship of the couple.

    Aside from her intuitive ability to fine-tune a ceremony, her delivery is articulate and professional. She's an amazing public speaker and knows how to direct the crowd all with a beautiful smile on her face.

    Lastly, I personally love working with her since she is kind and flexible. She not only appreciates the art of the wedding ceremony, but the art of photography as well. She is a joy to work with, and I'm always thrilled to see her when I arrive at the ceremony site.

    If you're looking for a true professional who is also warm and friendly, look no further!

    An Amazing Day and Experience

    Kimberly is literally an angel on earth. My husband and I live in NY and we contacted Kimberly right after we booked a trip to Napa. She was so accommodating and helpful in the planning of our elopement. From the first time we spoke I knew Kimberly genuinely wanted us to have the most magical day with as little stress as possible. Kimberly is a one stop shop - she was able to get our marriage license for us through the County, help us secure a venue long with our other vendors. She took care of our marriage license - all we had to do was go pick it up. She gave specific and detailed instructions so we had nothing to worry about when we landed in California. She was in touch with us along the way to make sure everything was absolutely perfect- and it was. She wrote and performed the most beautiful ceremony for us. She helped me stay calm before and during our vows because I was so excited, nervous and emotional. Kimberly has stayed in touch since and truly wishes the best for all of her clients. She goes above and beyond to make your dream a reality.

    Thank you with all our heart!

    Dear Kimberly,
    Thank you so much for helping us have a beautiful wedding ceremony in Half Moon Bay! The way you helped us exchange our vows and say to each other “I do” will always stay in our memory. You provided us with all the right words to express our love for each other and all our friends and family in the best way. We both could really feel you were connecting our hearts. Thank you for your excellent preparation and your very gentle guidance during the ceremony! We are very thankful to have found you and would recommend you to anyone.
    With love, warmest thoughts and best wishes
    Joshua and Natasha
