Description:

I've been told countless times that the wedding ceremonies I perform are nothing short of beautiful, meaningful, personalized, and fun. I offer various types of ceremonies that cater to different cultures and beliefs, including Celtic, non-religious, and non-denominational. For couples seeking a bespoke wedding, I provide a questionnaire that I then integrate into the ceremony, leading to tears of joy and hearty laughter.

Certain milestones in life require ceremonies or rituals to ease us into the changes that come with them, be it graduation, marriage, birth, or loss. I fully comprehend the significance of weddings and the lifelong changes that come with it. With my natural intuition and ability to read people, I'm able to guide couples through any stress they may be feeling during the ceremony.

What I love most about this job is watching the groom's expression as his bride starts walking down the aisle, listening to couples recite their vows with deep emotion, and seeing the love in their eyes as they make their promises to each other. Each wedding is a unique and unforgettable experience that stays with me. Regardless of age, each couple is special to me, and I'm truly grateful to be a part of their special moment.

I cannot praise Catherine enough for her outstanding services. When my wife and I decided on a traditional Nordic hand fasting ceremony, we were at a loss on how to accomplish it. Thankfully, by divine intervention, we stumbled upon Catherine who proved to be a true blessing. Not only did she help us achieve the ceremony of our dreams, but she also suggested the ideal location to hold it. The resulting ceremony was a breathtakingly beautiful event, surpassing our greatest expectations. For couples in search of an excellent officiant, I wholeheartedly endorse Catherine.

Our wedding took place at Latourell Falls, which was quite a journey from Florida. The experience was absolutely enchanting! Rev Cathi exceeded our expectations. She was uncomplicated to collaborate with, heart-warming, highly accommodating, and exceptionally patient. Despite my worried state, she orchestrated everything so flawlessly. Our heartfelt gratitude goes to you, Rev Cathi!

Prior to the main event, we had a Zoom meeting and were impressed with the positive vibe! On the day of the wedding, many guests approached us to praise Kathi's exceptional performance. Her heartfelt, sincere and amiable words struck a chord with everyone. We highly recommend her services!

Working with Cathi was an absolute delight. She exhibited exemplary professionalism, as well as a deep level of empathy and receptiveness towards all of my inquiries during the highly stressful wedding planning period. Our decision to proceed with a non-religious ceremony was executed with style and class, and conveyed seamlessly. Although our communication was limited to phone and text exchanges during the preparation stages, our in-person interaction felt truly bespoke. Without hesitation, I would highly recommend both Cathi and Wedding by Divine Design!

Catherine made our wedding experience truly delightful! Her warm and friendly nature shone through, and we couldn't be happier that we selected her to officiate our big day. Her words were poignant and perfectly captured the essence of our relationship, as if she had known us for years. We highly recommend her services and are grateful for her contribution to our special day. While we'd love to work with her again, we plan on making this marriage a once-in-a-lifetime experience. 😊❤️
