Kristen Kennedy
I began officiating weddings in 2019, and my business really began taking off in 2023. Since then, I’ve had the honor of officiating and coordinating weddings in all kinds of places—from beautiful venues and local parks to backyard celebrations, intimate ceremonies, and weddings across Ohio, Pennsylvania, and West Virginia.
Before becoming an officiant, I followed another officiant for several years and loved watching the joy, excitement, and emotion that surrounded each wedding. When I had the opportunity to officiate my first wedding, I knew I had found something special.
There’s something incredibly meaningful about standing alongside two people as they begin their marriage and being surrounded by the family and friends who love them most. Weddings can be exciting and emotional—and, let's be honest, sometimes a little stressful! I love being the person who can bring a calm, positive presence while helping couples enjoy the moments they've spent so long planning.
Your wedding day should be about you—not worrying about what comes next.
I’m naturally kind, outgoing, organized, and easy to talk to. I want every couple to feel comfortable being themselves and confident that someone is in their corner.
Whether I'm standing beside you as your officiant, keeping everything moving as your coordinator, or doing both, my goal is simple:
Help you enjoy every moment, take in the little things, and create a wedding day that feels like you.

When you work with me, you're not just booking a service—you’re inviting someone into one of the most meaningful days of your life.
I genuinely care about the couples I work with. I love hearing your story, learning what makes your relationship unique, and helping bring your vision to life. Whether your dream wedding is an elegant venue celebration, a backyard gathering, a park ceremony, or something completely your own, I’m here to make it personal, organized, and memorable.

Behind every wedding I coordinate and every couple I marry, there’s often another helping hand behind the scenes—and that’s my husband.
We’ve been together for 21 years, since 2005, and throughout every step of building Say I Do with Kristen, he has been right beside me through the highs, the lows, the exciting moments, and the challenges.
He’s also my go-to assistant when I need an extra set of hands. Whether it’s helping with setup, moving items, keeping things organized, or simply stepping in when something unexpected comes up, having him there makes a big difference.
Most importantly, he shares my goal of making sure every couple we work with can relax, enjoy their wedding day, and soak in every moment instead of worrying about the little things.
He may not always be the person you see at the front of the ceremony or coordinating the timeline—but behind the scenes, he’s my backbone, biggest supporter, and trusted extra set of hands.
And I couldn't do it without him. ❤️
