Kim Kirkley
Brooklyn, NY 11206
You are not sure how to get the ceremony you truly desire; You and your beloved have waited a long-time for this. Maybe there were days when you didn't believe this would happen in your life-time.
Maybe you are interfaith (Jewish-Christian, Muslim-Jewish, Christian-Muslim, etc.), spiritual but not religious, or strictly secular. Whatever your situation -- you know you want more than a City Hall or Clerk's Office Ceremony.
It doesn't matter whether you are gay, straight, lesbian, bisexual or transgender, a wedding ceremony is a singular event in our lives. It is one of the few occasions where we have the chance to be together and notice how wonderful it is to be alive.
That is I why I love to create and perform elegant, meaningful, individually-crafted wedding ceremonies that reflect each couples truest desires. No cookie cutter ceremonies!
Now that same-sex marriage is legal in New York State, you are thrilled to be formally launching your lives together, but a mass-wedding or a quickie, cookie-cutter ceremony just won’t do.
If you find an officiant who approaches your ceremony the right way, your wedding ceremony does not have to be stressful. In fact, it should be the highlight of your special day and a celebration of the love that has so profoundly changed your lives.
I am a ceremony expert who honors and respects all beliefs and traditions – spiritual, secular and religious. And, I use my (NYU trained) voice acting skills to create a vibrant ceremony experience for all to hear and appreciate. Most importantly, couples have ‘word for word’ approval of the entire text of their wedding ceremony.
As a former staff attorney for Lambda LDEF (1995-1997) Kim Kirkley was a part of some of the early strategy sessions for same-sex marriage. During her tenure with Lambda, one of her proudest accomplishments is successfully asking Mrs. Coretta Scott King to publicly endorse marriage equality.
Modern Minister and Celebrant Kim Kirkley dedicates her professional life to crafting award-winning ceremonies and she is thrilled to now be able to legally unite same-sex couples in New York.
Over the last 9 years Kim has performed more than 500 elegant, note worthy, wedding ceremonies throughout the tri-state area. During this time she has cherished the opportunity to perform commitment ceremonies in NY and same-sex marriages in Connecticut.
Today, she is thrilled to be able to craft and deliver elegant personalized wedding ceremonies to couples in New York.
