Your Wedding is About You

Congratulations on your forthcoming marriage. I’d like to help you create a ceremony that reflects your unique personalities, an experience for yourselves and your guests that will be remembered for a lifetime. If that describes you, I want to meet and get to know you.

You can text, email or call me at any point during the planning process. I'll also be available to meet via Skype or in person. That’s how we can create a beautiful, personalized ceremony that tells your story.

A note on Premarital Education:
I love offering premarital education – or premarital coaching, as I prefer to call it. It’s helpful for you in getting to understand one another on a deeper level. You’ll learn skills that enrich your relationship and gain insights to also improve your communication with others. You’ll also get a reduced fee on your marriage license in Minnesota.

About Me

Rev. Derek in LibraryI’m Rev. Derek Kiewatt. I’ve performed unique and memorable ceremonies for hundreds of couples. I’m still excited about officiating and love being part of this very special moment in people’s lives.

The weddings I help create reflect the beauty and romance of the occasion, while being light-hearted and meaningful. My relaxed, down-to-earth approach and sense of humor contribute to my services, as well.

I’m a graduate of the University of Minnesota and Harvard Divinity School. I’m an ordained Unitarian Universalist (UU) minister. I now focus exclusively on weddings and premarital counseling.
