KINDRED UNIONS

Threads of Spirit Woven Through Stories and Time

WELCOME!

If you’re seeking a space where structure and spirit meet, where calm and creativity weave together with purpose, you’re in the right place.

At Kindred Unions, every story is met with quiet care. The timelines, the vows, the flow of the day — all guided by presence and purpose.

Here, love is devotion in motion, and ceremony becomes the language of the soul.

Our Mission

At the heart of Kindred Unions is a simple belief: every milestone holds meaning when met with intention.

Our mission is to bring that intention to life — through ceremonies that reflect your truth, coordination that carries your vision with grace, and guidance that brings ease to the process.

We don’t just plan events or recite passages; we create experiences that feel personal, grounded, and full of quiet beauty.

ABOUT ME

There are a handful of things in life that I’ve always loved: writing, organizing, designing, and planning. Those passions have shaped my hobbies and the way I move through the world, which naturally led me into this field.

I began my journey in the event industry in 2016 — wide-eyed and full of ambition — offering coordination services and travel aid while actively networking and participating in events as a member of the Association of Bridal Consultants.

During my first four years, life whispered subtle hints that it wasn’t yet my time to shine. I tried to push through, but in 2020 I had no choice but to set down my Event Planning hat and focus inward — on home, stability, and, most importantly, myself.

And I did just that.

Five years passed in what feels like a breath. In that time I learned to listen to my soul and found my own voice, identity, and sense of peace. Now, I return to this work with renewed purpose: to share that calm with others as they move through their own meaningful milestones.

Frequently Asked Questions

Planning a ceremony or celebration often begins with a few natural questions — each as unique as the story it surrounds. Here are some of the ones we’re asked most often, shared to bring clarity, calm, and confidence as you begin your journey with Kindred Unions.

What makes Kindred Unions Unique?

Kindred Unions was created to bring intention and presence to life’s most meaningful passages — love, transformation, and return.

What makes us unique is our holistic approach: we honor every kind of ceremony and every kind of story. From weddings and vow renewals to end-of-life rituals and ceremonies of release, each experience is crafted with care, sincerity, and deep respect for the human spirit.

Rather than fitting your story into a standard script, we begin with listening — shaping words, flow, and atmosphere around who you truly are. Whether joyful or tender, celebratory or reflective, each gathering becomes a living expression of connection, memory, and meaning. 🌿

Do you honor all types of unions and belief systems?

Absolutely. Kindred Unions honors all expressions of love and all belief systems — from traditional to spiritual, secular to interfaith, and everything in between.

Whether your ceremony is rooted in a shared faith, a blend of traditions, or simply the deep connection between two souls, it will be crafted to reflect you — your values, your story, and your truth.

We proudly celebrate LGBTQ+ unions, diverse spiritual paths, and every form of partnership built on authenticity and love. No matter how you define your union, it will be held with care, reverence, and an open heart. 🌿

Do you travel outside of Alamance County?

Absolutely! While Kindred Unions is based in Graham, North Carolina, we serve couples and families throughout the state and are open to traveling to destination locations for meaningful celebrations and gatherings.

Wherever your story leads, we carry the same gentle focus and intention that guide all of our work. Travel logistics, mileage, or lodging considerations will be discussed during your consultation — we’re always happy to explore what feels right for you and your occasion. 🌿

What is the average price to expect when hiring a wedding professional?

Prices for wedding professionals can vary widely depending on location, experience, and the type of service being provided. In general, couples can expect to invest anywhere from a few hundred to several thousand dollars depending on what matters most to them.

Officiant services in North Carolina often range between $300–$800, while coordination packages may range from $1,000–$3,000+ depending on the level of involvement and event size.

These figures reflect the average to lower end of current industry pricing. Professionals with extensive experience — or those offering highly personalized services and unique experiences — may charge more to reflect their expertise and the depth of their offerings.

At Kindred Unions, our approach is built on transparency and intention — each offering is designed to meet you where you are, with clear pricing outlined on our service pages. We believe your celebration should feel meaningful and manageable, both emotionally and financially. 🌿

How far in advance should we book?

The ideal time to book depends on the type of service and the season. For weddings, we recommend reserving your date 6 to 12 months in advance, especially for popular spring and fall weekends. Smaller ceremonies, elopements, or weekday celebrations often require only 2 to 3 months’ notice.

That said, life doesn’t always follow a timeline — if your date is approaching quickly, please reach out. Whenever possible, we’ll find a way to bring your day to life with ease and intention.
