About Me


Hello.  I’m Kathy Diedrich, Humanist Celebrant.  I create and perform ceremonies for all of life’s important moments.  My pronouns are: she/her/hers

Offering meaningful, rich and personal ceremonies for people who embrace a lifestance based on reason and the natural world is my purpose.  As a proponent of Humanist ideals, I know that the best ceremonies build bridges of human understanding and compassion.  All ceremonies are free of religious references, and are emotionally rich and positive in tone.

Creating unique ceremonies for people to mark the important moments in their life is my passion.  Working collaboratively and drawing on a wealth or resources and experience, I ensure that the final ceremony represents the client in the way they want.

Managing my business to provide professional, responsive and stress free service to my clients is my commitment.  Communicating proactively, being reliable and  available to clients are hallmarks of my practice.

Holding credentials as a Humanist Celebrant, and a Certified Life Cycle Celebrant® and having years of experience as a project manager I bring a unique combination of skills to ceremony creation for my clients.  Writing and performing over 500 ceremonies since 2010 demonstrates my commitment and expertise in all aspects of ceremony work.

Registered as a wedding officiant in Minnesota and located less than 80 miles from both Wisconsin and Iowa, I am able to officiate at weddings in all three states (time and travel fees apply for locations more than 30 miles from my business address in Rochester, MN).  I focus on providing ceremonies within about 30 miles of Rochester where I’m located.

I look forward to learning about your ceremony needs.  Please use the links at the bottom of the page to contact me to discuss your ceremony wishes.
