Yes I Do!

Kitty was absolutely wonderful! She officiated our wedding last month in the Mural Room.
Our friends and family commented on how beautiful the ceremony was, and Kitty really came through for my husband and I. She was so flexible and worked with us on revising parts of our ceremony to ensure we loved it, and we did.
Kitty took us through the rehearsal the day before the wedding in the Mural Room. I was 30 minutes late to the rehearsal and she was kind and understanding about it. We are so happy that we chose Kitty to officiate our wedding and we are so grateful for her kindness, flexibility and professionalism. We loved that she donated a portion of her very reasonable fee to the charity of our choice. Thank you, Kitty!

Kitty was an absolute ANGEL! When calling/​emailing around for an officiant (We were SF/​Bay area locals trying to have an SB beach wedding) you really have to connect once you finally meet them. We had a couple other appointments that day to meet officiants and vendors, but as soon as we met Kitty and she talked with us about us and what we had in mind I knew she was «The One» and cancelled the other meetings. She emailed us a beautiful personalized ceremony within 24 hours from meeting her– it may have even been quicker to be honest! We really did not have to change a thing about it– the quotes fit us perfectly, it was a great blend for our religious family as well as our non-​denom/​agnostic family. There were grown men that left crying after our ceremony and I was told several times «How perfect» it really was. She was also amazing to work with– SUPER responsive and helpful, understanding, patient, and just a warm person with a beautiful soul. She even helped us figure out what we could do to make our ceremony unique (Wine box ceremony) instead of just going the traditional sand pouring– but was 100% reassuring that it was whatever we liked the most that goes. I was also pleasantly surprised by the cost– and to top it off she made a donation in our name to the charity of OUR choice with that money– I was so overwhelmed with joy that this was her plan with the money she earned as our officiant. After, she also gave us a wonderful keepsake copy of our ceremony and an «unofficial» marriage certificate– beautiful touch! I would give Kitty the highest recommendation as both a officiant and business woman. Thank you so much for your warm presence and making our Big day so very special!

In a city that’s known for higher prices, Kitty’s rate of $ 150 was a breath of fresh air. Whereas other officiants I looked into asked for $ 500 or more, Kitty provided impeccable service before and during my wedding for a fraction of the price. I also love that she donates half of the money she earns from each wedding to a charity of the couple’s choice – it’s certainly a reflection of how gracious and wonderful she is. Beyond the monetary aspect of her work, Kitty was also very responsive and cognizant of our requests and provided a complete draft of our ceremony long before the day of the wedding. From start to finish, she was easy to get ahold of and bounce ideas off of.
It was such a joy to work with her and I would wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone getting married in or near Santa Barbara. She’s a true professional and, even more than that, a fantastic person who I am honored to have shared my special day with. Thank you, Kitty!

Kitty performed our wedding on March 1, 2015 in Santa Barbara. She gives a good appearance and has a good voice. She is an efficient «hands on» wedding officiant who pays attention to details and gives you a high level of customer service.
She interviewed me on the phone to learn more about the history of our relationship so that she could make her script personal and tailored to us. We collaborated on the script. We had no clue about wedding orchestration and she guided us through the whole process from beginning to end with step by step instructions. Kitty was perfectly willing to attend a rehearsal if we had one.
Kitty is very professional, affordable and gives much of her fee to your favorite charity which is such a wonderful thing to do. I highly recommend Kitty Ryan the Wedding Officiant.

We contacted Kitty via email and then via phone. She initially spoke to us for about 20 minutes. She asked us some questions about us and how we met and what we wanted for our ceremony. Less than a week later she emailed us a draft of the ceremony, it was just about perfect. She definitely has a way with words. She met us he day before the ceremony to review the ceremony. On the day of, she was very professional and the ceremony was perfect. She also did a donation in our honor to the charity of our choice.

Kitty officiated our wedding in Santa Barbara on October 18, 2014, and we could not have imagined a better person to perform our wedding ceremony. From the beginning, Kitty was so easy to work with. My husband and I had no idea on where to start with the script, but Kitty took a lot of weight off our shoulders with her wonderful ideas. After many rough drafts, she gave us the perfect script. She delivered a beautiful ceremony, and we will always be thankful to her for making our day so special. We also loved that she donated part of her fee to a charity of our choice. We highly recommend Kitty’s services for anyone who is looking for a great officiant.

Kitty officiated our Santa Barbara Mural Room wedding in June. When we contacted Kitty, we didn’t know what we wanted for our ceremony script. Kitty guided us through the process and gave us great ideas so that we could write our script! It was perfect! She worked with us until we felt it was right! Thank you Kitty for helping us realize the perfect ceremony! It doesn’t stop there… Kitty not only is reasonably priced, she also donates a percentage of her fee to a charity of your choice! How cool is that! We simply loved her!

Kitty was helpful, calm, and (best of all) prepared.
She was quick to reply after I emailed her through her website, and subsequently guided me through every step thereafter. Her initial ceremony proposal (which was sent after a brief phone conversation where Kitty obtained information for customization) was nearly spot on and only required slight modifications. Kitty was very relaxed with ceremony changes even within a week of our wedding date!
At the rehearsal, Kitty was her extremely helpful self that I had come to expect, and basically planned our ceremony for us on the spot when she realized we were woefully unprepared!
At the ceremony, she was on time, dressed appropriately, and performed her portion of the ceremony flawlessly.
Additionally, all of this wonderful service was delivered at an extremely competitive price (at least some of which was donated to a charity of my choice!).
Kitty helped enormously in making my wedding weekend relaxing and enjoyable! I cannot recommend her enough!

I highly recommend Kitty as an officiant for your wedding ceremony. She was very helpful and patient in helping us plan our big day. Thanks to Kitty our event went smoothly as planned, making it all the more special and memorable. Kitty certainly gives some good advice and her follow up is excellent. If you’re planning a civil ceremony in or around Santa Barbara definitely get in touch with Kitty. Two thumbs up from a very satisfied couple.

I could not have asked for a better officiant!!! Kitty was such a pleasure to work with, she met with me in the months prior to my wedding to discuss details, she personalized my ceremony to perfection, she kept me calm during my rehearsal and as most brides know rehearsals never go perfect. I am so thankful I found her because I wouldn’t have wanted my ceremony any other way. One cool thing she does, your fee for her services, she donates to a non profit of your choice. Such a awesome way to give back! I highly recommend Kitty to anyone looking for a officiant she is professional, calming and over all just a warm hearted great person. Kitty thank you so much for making my ceremony perfect!

Kitty performed our wedding on April 6, 2013 in Santa Barbara. She did a wonderful job and we couldn’t have asked for a better officiant. She performed such a beautiful ceremony for us and exactly the way we discussed. She is very attentive to details and responds to questions quickly. We can’t thank her enough for making our day such a special one.
