Amanda Dunn

Why did you originally become an ordained minister online?

I originally became ordained to help a real estate client. They needed to get married sooner than planned to qualify for a VA loan together, and I wanted to help them take that step. That experience lit a spark in me—I loved being part of such a special moment, and it’s grown into something I’m truly passionate about.

Where are you from?

I was born in Louisville, Kentucky, and I currently live in Bardstown with my husband of 15 years, our two adult children, and our beloved pets—Miley the dog and Rosey the cat.

What do you hope to achieve with your online ordination?

My hope is to continue helping couples start their journey together in a way that feels genuine, stress-free, and joyful. Whether it's a planned celebration or a last-minute elopement, I want to make their wedding day feel as special and memorable as it should be.

Additional Information

As a minister, I’m happy to travel anywhere in Kentucky—or even to other states that accept my ordained status—for a fee. I’m flexible and open to all kinds of weddings, big or small, formal or laid-back. My goal is to support couples however they envision their day. I’m also happy to assist with short-notice ceremonies or unique situations, like blending traditions or including children and pets.

What do you think makes your ceremonies special as a Bardstown, KY wedding officiant?

I offer non-denominational services although I am a Christian believer, I respect all beliefs and backgrounds. My focus is on love, commitment, and creating a ceremony that fits the couple’s values and vision, whether spiritual, secular, or somewhere in between. The only ceremony I will not perform is pagan weddings.

Types of Service Offered

Marriages, Same-Sex Marriages, Renewal of Vows

Additional Information

I believe what makes my ceremonies special is the personal connection I build with each couple. I take time to understand their story and what makes their love unique, so I can craft a ceremony that feels authentic and meaningful. Whether it’s a peaceful setting like Bernheim Forest or a cozy living room, I aim to create a warm, joyful experience that celebrates their love in a way that feels true to them.
