  • 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!

    Colleen & Tim

  • We hired Keri is our officiant for our 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!!

  • Katie was patient, Kind & So Fun to Work with! She went above & Beyond for our ceremony

    Emily & Mark

  • Highly recommend Flower City Ceremonies! 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 Ceremonies!

    Lauren & Josh

  • The level of care Keri took in crafting the script, the delivery, the jokes, and the friendliness made our wedding so much more special .

    Christopher & Jean

  • Keri did a fantastic job with our wedding. She personalized the ceremony better than my wife and I could have imagined. She responded quickly when I had a question or wanted to change something. The love story package was truly a love story. She even took the time to sign our guest book.

    Stephanie & Jennifer

  • From our first meeting, you could tell Rachel loves doing this...Honestly, we did not really know what to expect. We just wanted someone to marry us. It ended up being so much more than that. The ceremony crafted by Rachel and then tailored in changes we wanted was stunning. Our family and friends could not get over how well it flowed, how personal and intimate it was, and Rachel's professionalism...
