Kate A

Became a minister to help my LGBTQ+ friends have increased access to marriage.

Southern California

Increase access to marriage and combat the impending threat to marriage equality (I know that disabled people do not have marriage equality, but that is a fight I battle outside of this).

I am very focused on inclusion and access and want everyone to feel loved and supported during their big moment. I will be happy to work with you however I can to make your day special. I often tailor an introduction for the two of you even for an elopement that makes it unique to you and special, even if it is not a big ceremony.

I operate on an accessible sliding scale model (hence the above range for cost). I am pretty flexible in my rate because I understand that the current economic state of this country is unstable, and want to be sensitive to that. I usually ask for a minimum of $100 (which covers the cost of ordering a letter of good standing, a formal certificate, and then usually my time preparing and officiating) but I am flexible. If you need me to provide witness(es), I do increase that fee since those individuals are also paid for their time. Essentially I just try to meet people where they are at while still providing a service.

Southern Wisconsin preferred, but will travel.

I do elopements for the most part but can do larger and more formal events. I like an advanced notice but can be booked at the last minute.

In Wisconsin, you MUST have the information of your officiant before you apply for your marriage license (which then has a holding period) so you will have to have a conversation with me first to acquire the information necessary to apply for your license.
