Jenna said… July 1, 2017 Kelly was amazing!! She worked with me last minute to fit into my rehearsal schedule. She really helped us with our ceremony and made it feel like it was wrote specifically for us. I loved having her that day!
Anna said… Oct. 8, 2016 Kelly Atkin from Amor Ceremonies is a delightful person and a wonderful officiant. From the first communications she was great to work with – she was very responsive by phone and email, and accommodating throughout all the planning. Kelly offered lots of ideas and suggestions for us to be able to craft the perfect ceremony and vows. Her price was so reasonable and right in our budget. She was a calming presence before and during the ceremony, and expertly handled the less-than-ideal weather with the threatening storm, and the balloon fiesta traffic near the venue. I highly recommend Amor Ceremonies by Kelly Atkin as your wedding officiant!
Bobbi JO said… Sept 30, 2016 Kelly with Amor Ceremonies is absolutely the best there is. She helped us create a ceremony that completely matched us as a couple and was a wonderful help by recommending other vendors that we needed. Kelly also worked really well with our last minute decision to have a interpreter translate the ceremony with her for our Spanish speaking guests. The night before our wedding my husband and his family suffered a tragic loss and we were forced to cancel at the last minute. Kelly worked with us and our Wedding Planner to reschedule on a later date and was very understanding and extended our contract out to the new date. She went above and beyond to help us. She is just simply amazing; I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to anyone. Thank you Kelly!
Ron said… June 11, 2016 Amor Ceremonies by Kelly Atkin made our special day extra special with her engaging personality, warm spirit and professionalism. After providing us with options for the ceremony she encouraged us to modify her suggestions to make this “our ceremony”. She incorporated our changes and even accommodated our last minute changes, literally last minute. She lowered my stress level knowing that she had this. No worries.
Matthew said…May 15, 2015 Amor Ceremonies was great Kelly Atkin was very helpful with the wedding and the ceremony. She gave us some advice on how to extend our ceremony so that it wasn’t to short. Kelly got us to add the Sand Ceremony in our wedding which made it a very beautiful wedding. Me and my wife loved how everything went with Amor Ceremonies and Kelly Atkin. We will recommend her services to any of our friends and family that plan on getting married.
Crystal said… April 30, 2016 Being from out of town, finding an officiant for our wedding was kind of a scary ordeal. I wanted to make sure they understood us and what we wanted from our ceremony. After contacting Kelly, she took the time to send us multiple options for our ceremony and even helped us create one more to our liking. My family and friends raved about where we found her and how wonderful of ceremony she performed for us. Not to mention, her husband was our photographer! (just as wonderful) She was just AWESOME!!! Thank you again Kelly for making our ceremony all we could dream of and more! I will surely recommend you to any of my family or friends getting married in the Albuquerque area. God bless!
Magan said… Feb. 14, 2016 Kelly is a wonderful officiant for any type of wedding ceremony your in wonderful hands. She knows how to get things done and goes above and beyond. She respected our individuality and spontaneous needs. She was flexibly and patient. She was able to bring everything together for us smoothly and efficiently. If your looking to get married, shes the go to lady!
Unnamed…. We got married in Sandia Park, NM on 10/17/15. Kelly was awesome and flexible with us (including hiking the half mile to the ceremony site in dress clothes, which was quite the feat!). The service was beautiful and she was very helpful in making it exactly what we wanted it to be. I am so thankful we were referred to her, and I would highly recommend!

D’Ann/Maricia said… June 30, 2014 Kelly could not have done more to make our day any better. Since we were located in another state, we worked with her via 1 phone call and numerous emails. She was extremely responsive to our request to blend 2 different ceremonies as well as to add an excerpt from a book we felt was very important to us. Kelly felt like another member of our extended family and we would strongly recommend her to anyone considering a ceremony in the Albuquerque/Santa Fe area.
Fred said… Aug. 6, 2014
My spouse and I wanted as he had adopted children and we could not marry in our home state. My spouse contacted Kelly to set up everything over the phone as we would be coming to New Mexico. She and her husband (who expertly provided photography) and her mother who served as a witness were fantastic. She chose a beautiful place on the University of New Mexico campus. We brought our 8 children and had a wonderful time in Albuquerque. Kelly was the best and made us feel so comfortable. Couldn’t have done it without her!
By Nichole & Matt ~ 15 Sept 2013
Kelly was amazing to work with! We knew she was THE one when we met her. She was professional but above all, her warmth and joyful officiating of our ceremony made our day perfect. She recited a specific ceremony I customized from the many options she provided us without any breaks or hesitations. She is a wealth of knowledge regarding other vendors and is truly the BEST at what she does.
Sydney & Stacy Sept 6, 2013
It may have not been big, fancy or expensive, but it was absolutely perfect for us. We thank you so very much for all you did in making this day so special for us!!!!
Melanie & Jackie Aug 18, 2013
Jackie & I just wanted to say thank you for being a special part of our wedding day. You were just the right person to be our officiant with your calm demeanor and steady voice. We especially appreciated the flexibility of combining different ceremonies to create our own particular one. Thank you and best of luck to you in the future!
Ben, Christina and Abbygail ~ Married May 18, 2013
Thank you Kelly for doing such a wonderful wedding ceremony. My husband and I are very grateful that we were able to share our special day with you. I like that she send you different wedding ceremony options to choose from so that it will be special to you. She is also very reasonably priced. I would recommend her to anyone that is getting married. Kelly is awesome!!!
Feb 23, 2013 by Kelli & Lucias
Thank you Kelly and Roy for sharing our special day with us. It was so beautiful and we received nothing but excellent comments on your ceremony. Janelle’s grandmother said that your ceremony came in so clear through skype email and her aunts loved all of your cues for the music. Thank you so much on the photos as well. I know from the shots that you showed us that we are excited for what’s to come. Thank you! Thank you!
Feb 16, 2013
Kelly was incredibly professional, easy to talk with, listened to our unique ideas to incorporate our culture into the ceremony, and was highly recommended by every single person we talked to. You can’t go wrong with Kelly. She made our day truly special.
Jan 6, 2013
I am actually a local florist in albuquerque; not a client. I am so grateful to have met Kelly with Amor Ceremonies! She has worked with several of my brides this past year and does an exceptional job. My brides have all told me that she is wonderful to work with and extremely affordable. Kelly is very professional and easy going. I would definately suggest her services if you are need of a caring and respectful officiant!!
By CJ and Cheri ~ Commitment Ceremony ~12 January 2013
Cheri and I just wanted to drop you a line and thank you so much for the beautiful ceremony. It was a day made special that we will remember forever. Thank you also for recommending Enchanted Flowers. May you always be blessed in your services.
SUCH A CALMING VOICE !! by Marcela Ruiz-Arregui ~ (Aug 04 2012)
Kelly’s voice was such a relief at the day of my wedding, because it was so soft but clear when she was speking, that it make me feel more confident about taking my time when I said my vows to Steve.
A Wonderful Wedding by Katie & John ~ Aug. 3, 2012
Kelly Atkin of Amor Ceremonies made our wedding ceremony special~ She was open to my own additions to some of her ceremony words~ And added a very positive ‘vibe’ to the whole event~I have been in the wedding business myself for over 20 years, & I can verify that she is ‘a cut above’ & would help to make any wedding special
Summer Wedding by. Jun 17 2012
Kelly Atkin with Amor Ceremonies did a wonderful job on my wedding. So easy to get a long with, and she’ll help you with all of your big day preparations. She is fun and very professional. Thank you Kelly for a great wedding!
Beautiful Ceremony Jun 16, 2012
I could not have picked a more perfect person to officiate our wedding. Kelly made my decision in picking her to officiate our wedding easy from the beginning. I found her by googling Officiants in Albuquerque. There I found Amor Ceremonies among some other officiants. I made a few calls and knew once I spoke to Kelly that she was the one!! She did an amazing job organizing the wedding party during the rehearsal, and delivered a FANTASTIC ceremony. Kelly thank you for standing before me and the love of my life on our wedding day!!! I highly recommend Kelly with Amor Ceremonies! 🙂
Reunited after all these years..by Paul & Allie Jun 9, 2012
Kelly was highly recommended to us by one of the local Judges’ secretaries. I spoke to her on the phone and found her to be very pleasant. She allowed us to piece together our vows from programs she had to say the perfect words we wanted. The ceremony in her back yard was wonderful – it was the quiet, private moment we were looking for. Kelly married me to a long time friend who I knew in High School there in Albuquerque. It brought back so many memories and created a new one for us. Thank you Kelly and Roy for all your help. You two are truly wonderful people. We highly recommend using their services.
A True Blessing ! by btfordalan May 20, 2012
I stumbled across Kelly on the Google. And thought oh well lets give her a try, what a blessing.. Kelly went above and beyound in the planing. And performed a beautiful ceremony, very professional, Thank you Kelly….
Kelly is awesome!! May 25, 2012
Kelly performed such a beautiful ceremony for us and accommodated some of our unusual requests! She truly made it a special day for us and we would recommend her to everyone!
She’s popular for a reason! by DesertDryad April 28, 2012
I looked around quite a bit for an officiant, and was appalled by the fees some charge. Kelly Atkin was not only affordable, she was cheerful, open to our very offbeat ceremony, and a delight to work with all the way around. She did such a good job of keeping us on track during the wedding that none of the guests noticed the couple of snafus that might otherwise have spoiled the flow of the ceremony. You can’t go wrong here!
Getting hitched the right way in Albuquerque by ufoteacher April 4 2012
Getting married? Feeling harried and stressed out? Ready to jump off a bridge? Stop. Take a deep breath. Read this article. Help is on the way. On Wednesday, April 4, 2012, Diane Maromaty married Mr. Richard William Smith and officially became Mrs. Diane Smith as of 4:00 PM that day. As weddings go, the newly weds will be happy to tell you that this one was quite unique on all levels. Held at the Casas de Suenos Old Town Historic Inn known on Rio Grande Boulevard in Albuquerque, the ceremony itself was directed and officiated by Kelly Atkin of Amor Ceremonies and professionally photographed by Roy Ricci of Ricci Photography. Witnesses were in attendance from Casas de Suenos and the weather itself could not have been more perfect that day even if Norman Rockwell himself had illustrated it.

5 Stars by wtfdinosaur Feb. 25, 2009
My husband and I were looking for a quick and inexpensive wedding. We found Kelly on the net and called. She offered services at a time and cost that were great. Also we could choose what kind of ceremony we wanted and were we wanted to hold it. Lots of love from Alex and Anita.
Professional May 2, 2012
I have known Kelly for several years….She is very professional, goes above and beyond to make your day very special and a day to remember, she works with you on all aspects of your wedding and if she can not provide the service and/or services you are looking for she has such a large net work of others that can help you with everything. She is just Amazing!
Joshua and Melanie Bennett March 31, 2012)
I found Kelly online through a wedding website I was using. The reviews looked good… and couldnt have been more right! She was professional, flexible, knowledgeable, and VERY reasonably priced considering all that she did for us. When we had to move our ceremony from outdoors to inside, she was on it immediately and made sure it was a very smooth transition. She checked with me from the moment I arrived at the venue until the ceremony started to make sure everything was on schedule and that everything I needed was taken care of. She was the best I could have asked for, and we were all very pleased. I recommend her to anyone looking for an officiant for an event.
Great experiences!!! by Durling Love Jan 19, 2012
We had been in contact with Kelly for some time before we had our ducks in a row and were ready to pick a date for our wedding. The most patient kind people to work with. We felt our options for the cerimony were endless and they were willing to travel to vairious locations for very reasonable costs. All in all, if we had to do it over again we would go the same direction and wouldn’t change a thing. The greatest expirience with the greatest people made our wedding even better. Thanks for reading. We recomend Amor Ceremonies famously. We love you guys.
Bryan & Emily Cook August 14th, 2011
One word: Amazing! Kelly has a very loving voice and really gets the guests into the whole ceremony. Beautiful explinations of each part of the ceremony. Very reasonable pricing. She made everything go great and we are very pleased that she came all the way to Sandia Park to perform our ceremony (especially without charging an arm and leg extra for “driving time”). Kelly is super sweet, and you will know it as soon as you meet her, aswell as being very helpful with any problems that arise. During our outdoor ceremony, the wind picked up at first and she quickly acted, asking a young lady in our party along with the best man and maid of honor to put one hand on the arch to steady it. No one even noticed! We didn’t even see it until we watched our wedding video…even then its not noticable. Very smooth cover up of mother nature acting up for us! You rock Kelly! We loved the sand ceremony and the way she put it all together for the guests. Beautiful. We couldnt be happier and will be recomending Kelly Atkin to EVERYONE we know! Kelly, thank you so much for a perfectly amazing ceremony.
Andersons by Lisa 9-10-11
We were thrilled to be able to reserve Kelly for our wedding ceremony on 9-10-11. I was so impressed by not only her responsiveness and professionalism, but her kindness and sincerity as well. Her organization and attention to detail and calm demeanor helped ease our nervousness and allowed me to really enjoy my wedding day and not have to worry about anything. I would highly recommend Kelly Atkin and felt very honored to have her officiate our wedding.
The Ramirez Wedding by PatriciaG Sept 10, 2011
Kelly was the Officiant at our wedding just a week ago. She did an amazing job! She helped get us started with ideas for our vows, she was flexible, and very professional. Her price is very reasonable. I would definitely recommend her. Patricia

Our Wonderful Officiant! by Newlyweds! Aug 6, 2011
We had Kelly Atkin for our Officiant on our Aug. 6,2011 wedding at Barcelona Suites in Albuquerque! She was perfect for us and our surroundings! It was the perfect short and sweet wedding! All our guests complimented on such a beautiful ceremony! It wouldn’t have been possible without her! No question! Thanks again Kelly! 🙂
From A Guest (Jul 31 2011) by Ms. V.
I was a guest at a wedding which Kelly officiated. The ceremony was in downtown Albuquerque at the Civic Plaza. The wedding was a bit late in getting started as the happy and excited couple were waiting for a few other guests but Kelly talked to them until everyone arrived. The ceremony was unique, small and very intimate. Thanks Kelly, for a memorable occasion.
by peabodizzle
Kelly Atkin with Amor Ceremonies helped make our wedding the most special day of our lives. We were married July 2nd, 2011 at Prairie Star in Bernalillo. Kelly was familiar with the site and did a wonderful job coordinating the rehearsal and knowing exactly what would work for our VERY large wedding party. Her professionalism helped create a smooth running ceremony and I was always confident that she would do everything in her power to make sure we had nothing to worry about on our wedding day. I highly recommend her!

A Perfect Moment (Jul 25 2011) by MJ
I am happy to have met Kelly Atkins, I believe that she was sent to me from the energy that I called out. I just wanted to capture a beautiful moment for a beautiful occassion and Kelly was the one to make that happen for me and my family. Not only is she very professional, she is genuine. That’s what I wanted most for my Big day. She also made it possible in such quick notice for us to have a professional photographer who’s skills exceeds the expectations of many who appreciate true art! I reccomend Both Kelly and Roy to anyone who want their special day to be just that!!
Totally Awesome!! (Jul 19 2011) by Ruby
Kelly and Roy made our wedding day super special. They met with us before the wedding and gave us lots of ideas and advice for the ceremony. The day of the wedding it rained but they kept me calm and took lots of great pictures while we waited for the rain to stop! It did stop and we had a great time. Thanks so much! They were so affordable yet professional!

Plan B…. wedding 07/15/11 (Jul 15 2011) by fathom33
So, our wedding was planned with one location in mind at the bio Park. Unfortunately, it wasn’t available and did work out- hence, plan B….. Kelly was very professional and personal and made our special day perfect! We wandered off and found our own little private area to do our intimate and small ceremony. She is very friendly, flexible, and felt like we have known her for years. I would completely recommend her to anyone and we look forward to having her at are big “to do” wedding ceremony next year. Book her while you can! Thanks again, Kelly! Jenna and Michael
by krome (Jun 27 2011)
Kelly was awesome!! My husband and I planned our wedding long distance over the internet and Kelly adapted to the situation very quickly. She answered our questions and gave us a lot of choices. When we met for the ceremony she was prompt, professional, and made our ceremony beautiful!!!
The Alexander Wedding (Jun 22 2011) by sasa21pa
Amor Ceremonies, absolutely the best!! Kelly was personable, reliable, professional, and you can’t help but love her! She offered many amazing ceremonies, its hard to pick one, but my husband and I found the perfect one and our ceremony turned out beautifully. She was patient with me and forgiving when it took me forever to call her back. She even calmed me down the night before the wedding when I called and had to change the location. The next morning when I met her i just let out a sigh of relief because she is as nice in person as she is on the phone. She has a way of putting you at ease and making everything work out beautifully. I would recommended her to anyone and everyone! Thank you!! Mr. and Mrs. Preston Alexander

Fantastic! (May 08 2011) by LMKelley
I attended a wedding in which Kelly officiated and was so impressed I asked her to do ours when we got married. From the moment I contacted her she was so helpful, professional, and positive. She immediately sent me the ceremony choices and helped ensure we loved what we chose. During the actual ceremony she helped create one of the most amazing moments of our lives. She is fantastic!!
Wedding 4/29/11 (May 05 2011) by LC
Kelly is wonderful! Time was running out and my wedding date was coming up fast. When I called Kelly she was very helpful and available on a short notice. She also suggested a photographer (Roy) and he was GREAT! Kelly immediatley sent me a variety of options of ceremonies and all of them were very nice. When I narrowed them down and emailed her my option she gave me a few suggestions on what I could add. At the end my ceremony was very memorable and i absolutley loved it. When I met Kelly the day of my wedding she was just as sweet in person as she was over the phone. I would recommend her to everyone!
Joyful Day (Jan 30 2011) by jerileone
Kelly did such a elegant renewal ceremony for my husband and I. She is very proficient and professional. When we chose one of her lovely ceremonies, she was able to incorporate a beautiful poem my husband had written. Kelly’s joyful atitude throughtout our time together, made our day truly special.
The Best (Jan 29 2011) by cdr
Can not say enough about Kelly Atkin – She went above and beyond to make my wedding personal and special……Thank you
Amor Ceremonies is wonderful! (Jan 25 2011) by eatapia
Kelly and Roy were awesome. My husband and I wanted to get married as soon and as affordable as possible. I found amor ceremonies through the internet and it was our last resort for a short notice wedding. I called Wednesday and had an appointment set up for that Saturday. Kelly offered many options for ceremony types and that was fantastic. We were able to pick where we wanted to go, and she recomended a great place because me and my husband were a bit undecisive. The ceremony was great. Roy made the picture process fun and took a bunch. The price was perfect for couples on a buget. I give them a two thumbs up!!
A Memorable Wedding (Jan 25 2011) by momaka1@aol.com
I was a guest at a wedding which was officiated by Kelly Atkin. The ceremony was absolutely beautiful and Kelly’s words are memorable,I am sure, to the happy couple. There was so much warmth and love reaching out to the bride and groom when Kelly spoke to them and they recited their vows that my eyes filled with tears. I am a widow but if I ever do marry again,Kelly would definitely be my choice as an officiant.
Wedding 10-9-10 (Dec 02 2010) by bdwim1
Kelly Atkin who served as our officiant was great to work with! She was very knowledgeable regarding the process of creating portions of our ceremony and shared resources to help us through the process! She attended our rehersal dinner and was able to manage 15 people and run through the ceremony with ease! On our wedding day she helped to organize the group the ceremony turned out amazing. She was genuinely a part of our family that day!
Wedding 10.8.10 (Oct 25 2010) by Toni
Kelly and Roy were incredible! I wanted to get married on 10.10.10 at the Balloon Fiesta but that sort of fell through for me due to other circumstances, so at the last minute I needed to find someone to marry me. I hadn’t expected such a perfect wedding. Kelly was ready at the spur of the moment (literally the next day), gave me tons of vow options, many location options, advised me to look into licensing in NM (I’m from Texas) and was so very kind, fun and professional. It was favorate wedding (and I’ve had three now). Roy took incredible pictures and sent them to me immediately. He really captured our personalities and it was like being married in the Garden of Eden. What a great/memorable experience that would not have come about but for Kelly and Roy. Thanks so much!!
Perfect (Oct 04 2010) by DrBop
Kelly is a very professional and kind officiant. She worked with us to form the perfect wedding ceremony. She did an amazing job. Additionally, her recommendation for photographer was awesome. He did a great job for us!
