“We found Koru Ceremony on The Knot and the reviews on this officiant service were spot on. We had the pleasure of working with Pat. She gave us exactly what we were looking for—something simple, yet meaningful. We met with Pat a couple of times via Zoom and she really puts her entire being into planning your perfect ceremony. Pat has been an amazing resource…everything from obtaining a marriage license to name change…Pat is an expert! We can’t say enough good th […]

“We are so glad that we booked Pat for our wedding! She was very thorough, caring, and considerate. She explained her process to us and encouraged us to choose the package that best fit us (not the most expensive). She helped us to create the most beautiful ceremony! The way she creates a ceremony is very tailored to what you are looking for as a couple. She is very flexible, allowing for wording changes or any ideas you would like incorporated. We were almost unable to have her come for the cer […]

Their use of zinnias, coneflowers, cosmos, […]
