About Yosemite Wedding Officiant Kimberly Vaughan,

Kimberly Vaughan, Ordained Minister

Hi, I’m Kimberly Vaughan, a local, ordained minister in Yosemite, where I’ve been honored to to be a wedding professional for nearly 20 years. My connection with the park and wedding industry began long before I was officiating in Yosemite; it started with a deep love for this breathtaking park and the couples who travel from near and far to exchange vows here. Having been married myself in the historic Yosemite Valley Chapel, I know firsthand how powerful this setting is for such a life-changing commitment.

There’s no place like Yosemite to celebrate love.

​
​I believe a wedding ceremony should be as unique as the couple it unites—a true reflection of who you are, your journey, and the love you share. Standing with you, helping you express your vows in a way that feels deeply meaningful, is something I feel privileged to do. Whether you envision a traditional ceremony, a spiritual union, or a nature-inspired ritual, I’m here to support and guide you in creating a ceremony that honors your beliefs, celebrates your commitment, and captures the essence of your story.

Yosemite is more than just a beautiful backdrop; it’s a place that inspires strength, beauty, and connection. My goal is to bring that sense of wonder and joy into every ceremony, helping you start your life together in a way that’s both memorable and deeply personal.
