Reviews for A Wedding Minister For You
GUEST
Amie, thank you for your amazing service and heartfelt presence...Kathy
GUEST
Working with Amie was wonderful. She was prompt, professional and had great advice. She and her husband helped us customize our ceremony, making it more "us", by adding in a little humor. She met with us before the wedding to go over details. During the ceremony she picked up on my excessive amount of nervous energy and shortend up the lines for me to repeat (where Doug got full sentences, she kept mine to 3-4 words, haha) .... it's just a small thing but it was just what I needed (I still managed to jumble one!) and spoke volumes about her experience and professionalism. I couldn't have imagined a more perfect ceremony and Amie played a huge role in making it happen.
GUEST
Amie is FANTASTIC!! She made our wedding so special, and so memorable. Amie helped us to truly express our feelings in such beautiful words and ceremony. She is SO flexible and truly wants to help you have a wonderful ceremony - the way you want! Amie will meet with before and help with the planning too! I can't recommend her enough...thanks again Amie!!
GUEST
I was very happy with the contact with Amie Kenyon with A Wedding Minister for You. From start to finish, she was extremely professional and helpful. I would highly recommmend her to any one needing this type of service.
The only thing that didn't quite make sense to me was that the cost was based on the number of people, not the length or content of the ceremony. Why does it cost more to have the same ceremony for 200 people, instead of 50?
GUEST
Cammie did a wonderful job! It was a pleasure working with and meeting her. She really committed and succeeded in tailoring our ceremony to us. She even included the signing of the documents into the ceremony that I requested. Cammie even traveled for the rehearsal the night before the wedding. Cammie, The Rango's Thank You!!!

Had the pleasure of having Amie Kenyon as our minister for our 2/6/2011 wedding. She was a pure pleasure to deal with from first email to saying goodbye after the ceremony. Prompt and fast responses (an understatement - lightning fast!) excellent service, professional, and most of all, personal. She truly helped and wanted to create a service that was 'us.'
She and her colleagues will make your day beyond special!

GUEST
Amie was great. I emailed her about 20 days before our wedding b/c we still didn't have a minister (left it to my husband and he just didn't get to it...lol). She was willing to meet us that weekend. When we met her we felt so comfortable. Amie was wonderful on the day of the wedding. I was very happy with how everything went. Thank you very much.
GUEST
Amie made the whole process very comfortable and easy. The ceremony was exactly what we wanted as we cut and pasted from different ideas that she had sent us. She was very friendly and good to work with and we along with our guests were very happy with how everything turned out.
Thank you Amie.
GUEST
Amie did a wonderful job for us. We appreciate the time she took to meet with us, walk through the readings and vows and finalize our ceremony. We couldn't have asked for anything better. Thank you Amie!
GUEST
We used Amie Kenyon and she was wonderful. We chose to use this service only 2 weeks before our wedding. Amie was very prompt in returning our emails and assured us things would get done. We didn't have many guests, but she made everyone feel involved in the ceremony. We customized our wedding using the manual they provided and she did a wonderful job of finalizing it for us. She was very professional and we are glad we chose her.
GUEST
This was unplanned, and Mr.and Mrs. Kenyon were very patient and helpful in helping us with the process by officiating at our marriage ceremony before my hubby deployed to Afghan.
Thank you Mr. and Mrs. Kenyon! I am happily married to a wonderful man!

FAQ for A Wedding Minister For You
To book your wedding day with us, we require a non-refundable 50% retainer. This confirms your wedding date, allows us to guarantee your date, and saves us much trouble in the long run of last minute cancellations and no-call no-shows. We accept PayPal, or check, cash or money order through USPS mail. If we do NOT receive a deposit we can not and will not guarantee your date.
Are you able to do more than one wedding in a day?
Yes! Because there are four of us, we can easily perform several weddings in one day. If you see a date and are unsure, please contact us immediately to book your wedding. We will see what we can do.
What types of ceremonies do you perform?
We perform all types of ceremonies that fit your needs. Religious, non-denominational, non-religious, vow renewal, interfaith, etc.
What does your fee cover and what is included?
Please visit our Services page to learn more about our fees and exactly what is included. No matter the size of the wedding, each couple receives equal treatment!
Are you licensed and able to perform weddings?
Yes! Both of us are members of the American Council of Wedding Officiants in good standing.
How does payment work? When is it expected?
I require 50% down payment to book the date. You can then either pay the rest the night of the rehearsal or the day of the wedding whichever works easiest for you; I'm flexible like that.
What exactly does an officiant do?
Aside from saying "You may now kiss the bride," a wedding officiant does much behind the scenes. A wedding officiant coordinates the ceremony. They meet with the bride and groom to go over details, and may even act as a wedding coordinator to a point. She also arranges meetings with the bride and groom, may offer pre-marital counseling, and may even just need to be there when they need a shoulder to lean on during the planning phase. We also make sure that the law is followed when it comes to the marriage license and making sure everything is sent in on time. We also are at the rehearsal, we help things move smoothly during the service and deal with many different random Oops! that happen from time to time.
Do you travel?
Absolutely! For traveling 30-100 miles outside of Grand Rapids, we charge our base price plus a $25 fee.
If we travel outside of a 100 mile radius, there is a $150.00 premium fee on top of our basic pricing.
Are you available for a last minute wedding? My minister just bailed on me!
You bet! If we are free, we will gladly fill the spot of the minister who was unable to attend. We do charge a small fee for last minute services, but we do everything in my power to make sure you have the best wedding day possible! You can always call or email to find out if we are available.
Can you meet with us ahead of time?
Definitely! We want to go over what your expectations are, and to make sure that this is a good match. Sometimes personalities aren't even a good fit, and we want to make sure you are comfortable with me. We think that's very important to how smoothly a wedding ceremony goes. We also offer free Skype and telephone contact for those who are out of state or may have unusual work schedules.
Do you have prepared ceremonies available? What about unity ceremonies?
We have put together a special book of ceremonies, vows, and unity ceremonies that can be performed at weddings. Did you know that some churches no longer allow unity candles because of risk of fire? We have alternatives that you can use that are just as beautiful and meaningful. And if you want to write your own vows you can, or you can pick from several traditional ceremonies in my special book that I have available just for this purpose.
How do I book my wedding day?
Visit our "Contact Us" page or call 616-805-8692 to get started today! Or book your wedding online, and pay via PayPal or Credit Card.
