Our Brand Values

We believe couples should be free to love and commit to one another regardless of their gender or sexual orientation. We also promise to offer a safe space for all your life milestones and to honor your traditions and beliefs.

Through your stories we will craft custom ceremonies based on YOUR beliefs and values. We are committed to hearing what is important to you then holding up a mirror, so you see these things reflected back to you in your ceremony.

The rule is: there are no rules!  If there is an element or tradition you want to incorporate, we will!  We custom write our ceremonies so we are able to reflect a more inclusive and evolving understanding of culture and personal expression.

Your ceremony, whether it is a wedding, naming ceremony, or celebration of life shouldn’t be all one note; if we’ve made your friends and families laugh and cry - truly experiencing your journey - then we’ve done our job!

  • Keri made the most important part of our wedding day - the ceremony - so perfect, special and memorable! We felt comfortable with Keri from the moment we met her, and her warmth and openness to really getting to know us resulted in a ceremony that felt incredibly personal to us and our story. During our reception, multiple people asked how we knew Keri because they assumed she must be a friend or family member based on how personal the ceremony was!

  • highly recommend Flower City Nuptials! My husband and I had the opportunity to work with Keri who put all the time and effort into making our vows incredibly personal and special. She took the time to get to know the both of us and completely customized our vows to our specifications. We received so many compliments on our ceremony to the point where people assumed she was a family friend because of how well she wrote and delivered our vows. I don't have enough good things to say about Flower City Nuptials!

  • We hired Keri is our officiant for our 8/16/24 wedding and she was absolutely amazing. From the moment we first spoke with her, we knew she would be fantastic. She took the time to get to know us, and then wrote the most beautiful vows for us that everyone has complimented after the wedding. She is patient, easy to work with and great with communication. Her work is beautiful and you should definitely book her for your wedding! Thank you Keri for being a part of our love story!!
