Wedding Connection
EXCITING EXPERIENCES.
I am a licensed ordained Unity minister authorized by the state of Ohio to perform marriage ceremonies. I have officiated marriages in a variety of settings. My most exciting experience took place on a boat in the middle of Lake Erie.
I began performing wedding ceremonies through happenstance. One of the requirements for completing my internship prior to ordination was to perform several wedding ceremonies. I had done 3, but I was told that these did not count because they were not completed during my internship. It was getting close to the end and I still had not completed the required number of ceremonies. I have a friend who recommended websites that allow officiants to advertise their services. I signed up, and the rest is history!
I love doing wedding ceremonies. It gives me great joy to work with people who are in love. Everyone is happy and in a light, festive mood. It is a sacred privilege to be able to participate in such a joyful occasion. I feel blessed by the opportunities I have been afforded to work with couples to create the “perfect-in-every way day.”
The qualities that I bring to my clients include professionalism, punctuality, friendliness, excellence, and a pleasant attitude and demeanor. These qualities are reflected in some of the reviews that I have received since I have been performing weddings.

“Karen Shepherd was an excellent officiant. She was very professional and the quality of her work was outstanding. I would recommend her to other couples looking for an officiant to marry them.”
“She was a delight to work with. Professional on all levels.”
“My experience was beautiful… Karen was excellent and I will refer her as many people that would need her services… I felt comfortable and she is very professional. Felt as I knew her longer than two weeks… Thank you Karen. God bless…”
“Working with Karen Shepherd was wonderful. She was one of the first officiants to respond to my request, and was very professional. She had a great attitude and personality to match. Her rate was very reasonable and she was available for both the rehearsal and ceremony. It made such a difference because the wedding was so last minute. Thank you very much Ms. Karen and I would highly recommend her to anyone else for her services.”
“Mrs. Karen Shepherd did a beautiful job. She was very punctual and she was very nice, friendly. The wedding was for my Daughter, she did such a beautiful job. Thank you so much. I highly recommend Mrs. Shepherd.”
