Owner, Certified Master Celebrant & Lover of Love Stories

Keri Klein

To the outside world, I’m an English teacher and mom of two — but I’m also a Certified Master Humanist Celebrant through the Celebrant Academy and a lifelong lover of the written word.

I became ordained to marry two friends whose relationship was so beautiful I wanted to help tell their story. That moment changed everything.

I believe that when you find the person who makes you laugh, celebrates the ordinary, and stands beside you through life’s chaos — you’ve found something extraordinary. It took me a long time to find my happily ever after, and that journey shapes the way I approach every ceremony I write.

I strive to capture the beauty of your love in words that feel honest, warm, and unforgettable.

Officiant, Writer & Love EnthusiasT

Katie Miller

I’m a hopeless romantic and writer who believes that love is the greatest gift of all.

As an officiant, it is incredibly special to witness the deep love and commitment between two people celebrated outwardly and shared with the most important people in their lives.

I take the time to truly get to know each couple and craft a ceremony that reflects your personalities, values, and connection. A wedding should feel meaningful — not generic — and I’m honored to help create something that feels deeply personal and beautifully delivered.

When I’m not officiating weddings, I work as a school counselor and spend my free time reading, enjoying iced coffee, and being with friends and family.

Officiant, Creative Triple Threat & Professional Heart-Melter

Rachel Pasternak

With nearly 14 years of experience officiating weddings, I’m passionate about helping couples create personalized and meaningful ceremonies that reflect their unique love story.

Before becoming an officiant, I worked as a wedding coordinator and owned my own event-planning business, collaborating with numerous venues in the Rochester area. That background gives me a strong sense of timing, flow, and how to ensure a ceremony runs seamlessly.

Whether your celebration is intimate or grand, I work closely with you to ensure every detail resonates — not only with you, but with everyone gathered to witness your vows.

how we started

What began as one meaningful ceremony for friends has grown into a trusted, collaborative officiant collective.

Since 2014, we’ve had the privilege of guiding hundreds of couples through one of the most important moments of their lives. Along the way, we’ve refined a process built on communication, thoughtful writing, and steady day-of leadership.

We limit the number of weddings we accept each year so every couple receives the attention and care they deserve.

let's work together

  • We had the awesome experience of working with Rachel from Flower City Ceremonies. From our first meeting, you could tell Rachel loves doing this...Honestly, we did not really know what to expect. We just wanted someone to marry us. It ended up being so much more than that. The ceremony crafted by Rachel and then tailored in changes we wanted was stunning. Our family and friends could not get over how well it flowed, how personal and intimate it was, and Rachel's professionalism.The ceremony was fantastic. She was everything we were looking for - and more!

  • When deciding who we would have officiate our wedding, I was skeptical about going with someone that we didn't know. I couldn't imagine how the wedding and service could possibly feel personal going that route, but I was proven wrong by Keri Klein with Flower City Ceremonies. When meeting her for the first time at our rehearsal, I felt as though we'd known her for years despite only speaking on the phone once and doing all other communications through email. I felt calmer just having her there to help guide the ceremony which guests complimented on throughout the night.

    Karen & Brent

  • Katie is AMAZING! She was flexible and willing to customize our ceremony to suit our needs. Often ceremony text is overly flowery/Disney like. We're real people and wanted our ceremony to reflect that. Katie customized our ceremony so it fit us perfectly, and she was SO EASY to work with.

    Lea & Ryan

  • The entire experience with Flower City Ceremonies was amazing from the start! From the quick response, to the detailed interview meeting to putting together our ceremony, everything went so smoothly! We worked with Katie and she did such a great job making our entire ceremony exactly what we envisioned. She took the time to interview us to get to know us better and really get a good understanding of who we were as a couple. In the short time that we worked with Katie, she spent a lot of time working to make sure our ceremony was exactly what we had hoped for and I am so glad we had the opportunity to work with her.
