Ever After Ceremonies

Ever After Ceremonies, led by Kathy Vass, is a secular wedding officiant and justice of the peace based in Stratford, Connecticut. Kathy specializes in creating custom-written wedding ceremonies that center around each couple's unique love story. Her distinctive approach involves video recording the wedding ceremony planning meeting, allowing couples to remain fully present while sharing their journey. This recording later serves as a tool to weave personal and authentic details into the ceremony script. Whether couples are planning an intimate gathering with close family and friends or a large celebration, Kathy crafts ceremonies that keep guests completely engaged in the personal experience. Her process includes in-depth questionnaires and story-gathering sessions to ensure each ceremony reflects the couple's authentic voice. As a special keepsake, couples receive their planning interview video on their one-year wedding anniversary, preserving their love story as told in their own words. Kathy has been recognized with Best of Weddings awards in 2022, 2023, and 2025 for her work.
