Kathryn Bastian
Ordained Minister in Centerville, Utah
Why did you originally become an ordained minister online?
A close friend asked me to officiate at their wedding. It felt like such an honor to be part of their special moment, it inspired me - their relationship is beautiful. And I wanted to continue to help others in this way.
Where are you from?
I’m from Utah - raised in Davis County. But was blessed to raise my son in the sun, by the virgin river and red rock canyons of Southern Utah.
What do you hope to achieve with your online ordination?
I really want to surround you and your guests with love and happiness on your big day. I hope to create an atmosphere of warmth that truly reflects your unique love story.
Religious Affiliations
Spiritualism, Universal Life Church, Other, None
Additional Information
I grew up going to church with my family, and I value the sense of community religion’s provide. I am deeply spiritual. It’s all about love and connection for me, and I aim to carry that into everything I do. I am comfortable including religious touches into your ceremony. And I can just as easily create a ceremony without any religious overtones. I am spiritual - and believe love echoes within these moments.
What do you think makes your ceremonies special as a Centerville, UT wedding officiant?
I was a wedding photographer for 5 years. That role gave me a unique perspective on how meaningful these moments are. It also gave me insight on how important the role of the officiant is - I love learning about how couples connect with each other and giving your guests a glimpse into that connection. I have studied how to amplify others stories and will seamlessly translate that knowledge into your day.
Are there particular areas near you where you prefer to travel or have special experience?
I’m up for traveling anywhere for a wedding (everything is negotiable, right?)! I have participated in ceremonies in: Island Park, Zion, Lake Powell, Texas, Florida, Aruba Vancouver, B.C., Backyards, Campsites, Churches, Libraries and even Living Rooms. Each story has left an imprint on me, I love helping to create special moments no matter where they happen.
