about
Since 2014, Flower City Ceremonies has been creating unforgettable wedding ceremonies for couples throughout Rochester, Buffalo, and the Finger Lakes. Founded by Keri Klein — an experienced educator, storyteller, and professionally trained celebrant — Flower City Ceremonies has built a reputation for crafting ceremonies that feel authentic, engaging, and completely original. With nearly 500 ceremonies officiated and counting, Keri has spent over a decade perfecting the art of turning love stories into meaningful moments that guests remember long after the wedding day ends.
What sets Flower City Ceremonies apart is a simple but powerful promise: no templates, no copy-and-paste scripts. Every ceremony Keri writes is built entirely from scratch, shaped by the couple at its center. Drawing on her background as an educator and storyteller, Keri takes the time to truly get to know each couple — their history, their humor, their love story — and weaves it all into a ceremony that feels personal, heartfelt, and unmistakably theirs. The result is a ceremony that doesn't just check a box, but actually sets the tone for the entire celebration.
For couples who want their ceremony to be more than a formality — who want their guests to laugh, tear up, and feel like they truly witnessed something meaningful — Flower City Ceremonies delivers exactly that. This is The Art of I Do, and with Keri Klein at the helm, your ceremony will be one your guests are still talking about at the reception.

WHAT COUPLES ARE SAYING...
"Keri was amazing!! My goal when shopping for a wedding officiant was someone who would make the ceremony and vows personal. When I set up the initial chat with Keri, she was so detailed, answered my questions, and she ask thought provoking ones. I thought for cost of her services, I was getting a deal! As we approached the wedding date, she sent me the most lovely ceremony write-up where I made a few edits and she and I collaborated. What we ended up with was a perfect summary of my relationship with my husband. I had a guest ask how long Keri and I had been friends and I think that's just such a testament to Keri's wonderful and calm energy. She really put me at ease and made me feel comfortable during the biggest moment of my life. I'm not sure who could have done a better job than Keri Klein at Flower City Ceremonies." -Melissa
"I can't recommend Keri from Flower City Ceremonies enough! She was such a vital part of bringing our wedding day to life—from helping us write our vows and organize the ceremony, to guiding us through the rehearsal, and ultimately marrying us in front of our loved ones. Keri’s support, warmth, and professionalism made the entire experience unforgettable. We’re so grateful for her!" -Ivory & Jeremy
