Orlando Ceremonies by Kelly, LLC

Hello, I am Kelly with Orlando Ceremonies by Kelly (it’s just me). I am a wedding officiant in the Central Florida area.

Officiants are best known as the individuals that lead your wedding ceremony, but we aren’t all the same, and that isn’t all we do. At Orlando Ceremonies by Kelly, I provide non – religious ceremonies that celebrate love. My goal is to make sure your wedding day gets off to the right start, with a heartfelt and authentic ceremony that reflects your love and your vision. I honor the diversity of love in all its forms, embracing every couple’s unique journey.

Couples that book with me can choose a ceremony that is “Ready to Go” or they can select their favorite “bits and pieces” from my “Mix and Match” collection. I also provide a fully customized ceremony that is created “Just for You.” My services include continuous and timely communication to assist you and support you through the sometimes-stressful preparations of a wedding.

And don’t forget the marriage license (seriously don’t forget it, I cannot perform a marriage ceremony without it). After your ceremony, I will sign and notarize your marriage license and return it to the county clerk’s office, so it’s official.

At Orlando Ceremonies by Kelly…Your story is unique. Your love is unique. Your special day should be too.

Professional and kind. She had the utmost compassionate tone that really set the stage for a perfect ceremony. She had a positive beat that kept everyone engaged, check in with us back stage to ensure we were good, and was able to focus even with our dogs barking. What a pro!

Thank you so much for your kind words. It was such a pleasure to play a small part in your big day. And I LOVED the pups, bark and all!

Recommendation On 09/16/2024 by Autumn- Marie McPilczuk (bride)
Where do I even start?? Our wedding was 9/13/24 Kelly was the most perfect recommendation I had for our wedding!!!! From our first email we had with her, we knew we wanted her to be apart of our wedding day! Kelly is such a calm, collected human, and made sure to remind us to breath, take in the day and focus on each other. We chose the complete custom package and Kelly included us with every detail, decision, and even worked with us on combining aspects to flow better. Kelly really took our story, brought it to life and captured us and our journey to the tee. Her response times were faster than our planner. She left our guest feeling emotional and willing to be open! During the reception all we heard was how amazing the ceremony was and how beautiful it was. Knowing my wife, we will be using Kelly for all of our how renewals, and I can’t wait to have her watch us grow! Kelly treated us like family and kept an open, nonjudgmental space for us. Kelly deserves every ounce of happiness and then some. Thank you for all you did and showing us that love was meant to be celebrated.

Kelly was everything we asked for and more. She was kind, accommodating, informative and all round amazing. We had our wedding at Seabreeze Point at Disney’s Boardwalk Resort and it was incredible and Kelly made it that extra special. From the moment we met Kelly on the zoom call, we knew she was the one to marry us. Kelly guided us through every step from the beginning and even when we had issues with our license, Kelly supported in every was she could. As and when we have our vow renewal, we will definitely be ask Kelly to be our officiant again. Kelly, you’re awesome!

And you are awesome! What an absolute pleasure it was being a part of your special day. You were both so excited and happy to be getting married. What joy!

Recommendation On 05/05/2024 by Courtenay (bride)
Kelly was amazing and absolutely wonderful to work with. We reached out to Kelly after deciding to elope in Disney World and she was more than willing to officiate our 6:30am wedding! She took time to get to know us and made sure our ceremony included our children and reflected our journey as a family. The moment we met her, we felt we had known her forever! She fit right in with our family. Highly recommend Kelly!!

It was such a pleasure spending time with your sweet family! I am so happy i got to be a part of your special day! Congratulations again!

Recommendation On 05/05/2024 by Kara (bride)
Where do I even begin. Kelly was an amazing officiant and truly an all around amazing person. When we contacted her back in April 2023 we were meant to get married at Leu Gardens in Orlando. A few months later we learned my partner lost his job and we had to cancel our wedding. Kelly contacted me after we canceled offering to do our ceremony for free at a nearby park because she was thinking about us. I was shocked someone would be so selfless to offer that and I will always remember her kindness forever. We were able to get back on our feet and moved from Orlando to Lakeland. She agreed to come out here still and marry us. It was just such a special day, and I’m so glad she stuck through everything with us and helped make getting married such a breeze. Thank you endlessly Kelly!

Kara, I am so incredibly grateful for your kind words. It was such an honor to pronounce you husband and wife. Congratulations and many years of happiness!

Recommendation On 03/01/2024 by Melissa (bride)
Kelly was an absolute pleasure to work with! She is such a sweet person and is so quick to respond to emails. We really just wanted someone who would deliver a short and sweet ceremony speech because I was very anxious to have so much attention on me, and that’s exactly what she did. The package is actually even called the “short and sweet” ceremony! She really did a great job creating a concise speech that only took a few minutes, but still didn’t feel rushed at all and felt super meaningful. A bunch of guests went out of their way to let me and my husband know how much they loved the ceremony and the little vows she wrote for us. I would definitely recommend her to anyone getting married!

I am smiling so much right now! Thank you for this sweet review. I am so happy I was able to be a part of your special day.

Recommendation On 02/11/2024 by Hope (bride)
I can\'t recommend Kelly enough! I had hired another officiant, but that fell through. I had reached out to another as a possible officiant, but she was was already booked on the date of our wedding. She forwarded my information to Kelly and I couldn\'t be more thankful for that. She was extremely attentive and went above and beyond my expectations about writing a personalized ceremony. I asked for a flower planting unity ceremony and she personalized the ceremony with unique comparisons to our marriage and love being like a plant. She gave me a copy of the ceremony so I can read it whenever I want. Please don\'t hesitate to hire this gem of a officiant you will not regret it!

Kelly officiated our wedding on 10/27/23 at the Tavares Pavilion on the Lake! She did an amazing job & it was truly such a pleasure to have Kelly be a part of our special day! She is so professional & super responsive to emails & calls. Kelly is also very thoughtful & she really cares about making your day special! She even asked me what we would like for her to wear for our ceremony, I mean how nice is that?! Ceremony wise, we were looking for something short & sweet & she definitely made that happen for us! Kelly really listened to what we wanted & what our vision was - they were beautiful words! Thanks so much again for officially making us husband & wife after 13 years together! :)

Highly recommend Kelly, we couldn\'t have asked for anyone better to officiant our vow renewal. She made us feel incredibly comfortable and completely at ease. Kelly is amazing, she takes the time to really get to know you before the day. If you are lucky enough to pick Kelly you will not be disappointed.

Kelly is amazing! She just did my wedding, she helped me through each step. She was there for me giving me venue ideas when I was freaking out! She even helped make last second changes to our ceremony. If you have the opportunity to have Kelly officiate your wedding you will not be disappointed!

It was such a pleasure working with you and delivering your ceremony. Meeting your family and spending time with such a loving group made my day! Many years of happiness!

Recommendation On 04/10/2023 by Marianne (bride)
If you are still in need of an officiant for your big day I HIGHLY recommend Kelly at Orlando Ceremonies by Kelly! She was incredible! Throughout the whole process she guided us with creating the perfect ceremony and was a huge help when it came time to do the marriage license. She was there on rehearsal night (which was a godsend in itself because I couldn’t imagine how it would’ve went without her there) and she was there to calm some nerves before the big moment. Although Kelly was just a stranger that we met via Zoom a few months before the wedding, when it came the big day it felt as if we had a close, personal friend officiating for us. It took no time for us to connect and bond and I couldn’t believer how comfortable she made the two of us- especially since we are both introverts. Kelly is sweet, caring, and you can tell she loves what she does! She encompassed all the qualities of our relationship (even our pets) into the ceremony and even created a wonderful tribute to my 2 aunts who walked me down the aisle. We had a slightly untraditional situation and she did a great job with it! I can’t recommend her enough!

So I am tearing up a bit right now. Thank you so much for your kind words. I cannot tell you how much I enjoyed being your officiant. Like you I felt an instant connection with the two of you. I hope your marriage is filled with continued joy and love!

Recommendation On 03/01/2023 by Veronica & Ryan Parente (bride)
Since our first email exchange, through the day-of, Kelly was an absolute joy to work with. Her passion for officiating and celebrating love was evident every step of the way. She is warm, welcoming, detail-oriented and attentive. Everything you want your officiant to be. She worked diligently with us to craft the most beautiful and personalized ceremony and worked hand-in-hand with our vendors to ensure all went seamlessly the day of. We would absolutely 100% recommend Kelly to any couple seeking these qualities in an officiant.

Recommendation On 02/15/2023 by Michele Schaeffer (guest)
As the mother of the bride I can’t say enough about how wonderful Kelly was. From the very start of planning to the wedding day itself, Kelly handled the everything with great professionalism, kindness and love. She is very thorough and really gets to know the bride and groom prior to the wedding so that she can perform a very unique ceremony centered on them. So happy we found her and if we ever need an officiant again there’s no doubt I’m calling Kelly!!! A++++++

Thank you so much Michele! I am so happy that Erika and Ian’s special day turned out to be all they wanted it to be.

Recommendation On 02/05/2023 by Kathy (bride)
Kelly was AMAZING! After speaking with a handful of officiants during the wedding planning process, we knew as soon as we ended the conversation that we wanted her to officiate our wedding. She gave us various ceremony wording options and let us mix and match to fit our personality. She even let us edit portions to make it our own. Unfortunately, three days before the wedding we had to reschedule due to a hurricane. She was super flexible and booked us right away for our new date. She was very responsive and worked with me as I made changes to the ceremony. She surprised us in our ceremony by having our guest acknowledge what we had went through with rescheduling our big day. She was a ray of sunshine and a calming voice on a hectic day. We truly enjoyed every minute of our ceremony and we can\'t recommend her enough. Thank you, Kelly for making our day special.

Kathy, Your words truly warm my heart. Your ceremony will always be one of my all time favorites. It was so rewarding being able to pronounce you married after all the hurdles you had to go through. I hope your lives are filled with love and happiness!

Recommendation On 01/03/2023 by Taylor (bride)
Kelly was amazing!!! I can’t say enough good things about her. Her response time was always so quick! She was extremely helpful with picking our ceremony and even helped surprise our guests while announcing we had gotten married in private a year before and our guests were actually celebrating our year anniversary instead of being our marriage ceremony. Everyone raved about how well she spoke, how good her speech was and her great personality. She helped calm me before the ceremony when the nerves started to approach. She was also affordable! Can’t recommend her enough!!

Recommendation On 12/28/2022 by Daniela (bride)
Kelly was amazing from start to finish. She listened to my husband and I’s story and made our entire ceremony special with those elements incorporated in. My entire wedding party raved about her and how great the ceremony was. Her words moved everyone and we even had a memorial candle for a friend who passed, the words Kelly spoke about her were so heartfelt and comforting. Kelly was an absolutely joy to work with.

Kelly was wonderful throughout the whole process. She let us be as involved or uninvolved as we preferred and really catered to us and the experience we wanted. She was super attentive and responsive to all our emails, even when she said she would be out of town on vacation. The day of our ceremony she made sure to talk to each of us to clear up any last minute details and give encouragement, as well as get the marriage license in order. We can’t thank Kelly enough for how great she was to work with!

I am so grateful we had Kelly officiate our Disney World wedding! Kelly was extremely helpful, flexible, and easygoing. She helped us create a truly unique, one of a kind ceremony. Throughout the rest of the wedding day family and friends commented on how amazing she was and how they enjoyed learning the “story of us” and the way it was told. Every step of the way Kelly was attentive, thoughtful, personal, very friendly, always had great suggestions and recommendations for us, and we were very happy with how everything turned out and felt it could not have been more perfect. She has such a bright, gentle, calming presence and we will definitely recommend her to anyone we know. Thank you Kelly!

About

What makes you or your business stand out and why should a couple hire you?

I work with you to provide and/or create a ceremony that speaks to you as a couple. Your wedding ceremony should fill you with joy and happiness, setting the tone for an incredible day of celebration; A warm and wonderful start to your married life together and a lasting memory that you will revisit time and time again.

What's a fun or unusual fact about you or your company?

I got my start in education, working as both an elementary classroom teacher and high school guidance counselor. The skills that I utilized with students and families serve me well when working with couples to create and deliver their wedding ceremony.

How did you get started as a wedding pro?

After retiring from education in Pennsylvania, I moved to Florida to be closer to my children and grandchildren. After attending my daughter's wedding and meeting Renee Silverman of "A Lovely Ceremony" a post retirement career was set in motion. Thanks to some incredible guidance from Renee and several other serendipitous events Orlando Ceremonies by Kelly became a reality and I couldn't be happier. I love what I do!

Share a piece of advice to reduce stress in the wedding planning process.

There is no such thing as a perfect wedding. Weddings come in all different shapes, sizes and forms. The best wedding is one where the couple feels that their day is truly about them and their love. So, stay true to yourselves and to your love.

What's your favorite wedding tradition and why?

I feel like every wedding ceremony I perform includes a new favorite. There is nothing more moving than watching a couple participate in a heartfelt tradition that is important to them. The first look, the wearing or inclusion of something significant to the family, a special reading or breaking of the glass. I admit that I am a sucker for a first look that happens during the ceremony. I can't say that I don't get teary eyed when a couple sees each other for their first time on their wedding day. It can be very emotional. The first look is truly a beautiful expression of the love a couple has for one another.

Tell us more about the couples you usually get the pleasure of working with.

I have met so many incredible couples during my time as a wedding officiant. Many of my couples continue to stay in touch and some there are some that I get together with regularly, during their yearly treks to Disneyworld. Often my couples are coming to Florida for a destination wedding, but there are many Florida residents as well. I am so grateful for each and every one of them and I am honored that I could be a part of their special day.

What are some of the best compliments you've received from your clients?

I love receiving positive feedback from my couples. When they tell me their ceremony was everything, they had hoped for, then I know I am doing it right. The ultimate compliment is when they refer me to other clients. Many of the couples I marry are sent my way by former couples.
