About Kismet Ceremonies
Kismet Ceremonies
Hi, I’m Linette, the heart behind Kismet Ceremonies. I create personalized wedding ceremonies that feel authentic, meaningful, and true to each couple’s story — never generic or scripted. Whether you’re planning an intimate elopement, modern wedding, or nontraditional celebration, I’ll work with you to create a ceremony that feels natural, warm, and memorable. My goal is to make you feel comfortable, present, and genuinely connected during one of the most important moments of your day.
I don’t believe your ceremony should feel like a template pulled from the internet. I take the time to learn your story, your dynamic, and the energy you want your day to have so the ceremony actually feels like you. My approach is calm, organized, and deeply personal — creating moments that are heartfelt without feeling overly scripted or awkward. Couples choose me because I make the process easy, the atmosphere comfortable, and the ceremony memorable for both them and their guests.
In three words: Collaborative, Supportive, Thoughtful

WEDDING CEREMONY
Linette and the Kismet Planning team were an absolute joy to work with for our wedding. From the very first conversation, Linette's open and compassionate communication style put us at ease, and her excited energy was contagious throughout the planning process. Her detail-oriented approach, creative ideas, and friendly demeanor were invaluable - she helped us find the perfect wedding location and provided fantastic photo inspiration that captured all the special moments of our day. Linette did such an exceptional job, and we loved all of her creativity and thoughtfulness that made our wedding day truly magical. We can't recommend Kismet Planning highly enough!

Our beach elopement was everything we dreamed of and more, thanks to Linette with Kismet Planning. From the very beginning, she made us feel comfortable and cared for, taking the time to get to know our story and weaving it beautifully into our ceremony. Her words were heartfelt, genuine, and perfectly captured the love we share. Linette’s calming and joyful presence made the day feel effortless and magical, allowing us to simply soak in the moment. We are so grateful she was a part of our special day, and we couldn’t recommend her more highly to anyone looking for a truly meaningful and memorable ceremony.
