More beautiful than we even imagined…

Cindie was such a blessing and we are so thankful that she was brought to our path. I am no where near as good of a writer as she is but I will try to express our gratitude in this review as best as I can. When we chose to elope on July 4th, we expected some difficulty finding an officiant… we did not anticipate exactly how difficult it ended up being. We were ready to settle for just anyone and had even stopped looking at “about me” sections and simply asked about availability…. But then our photographer heard about Cindie. I did read about her and how she takes a story telling approach and the idea of her retelling our love story was something I didn’t even know I wanted… but it ended up being my favorite piece of the day. Cindie has a magical way with putting your words into something so special. Her voice is calm, warm and soothing. She took the information from our questionnaire and did her own research to look up quotes, poems, lyrics and include those things. She perfectly blended any “must haves” that we asked for. She sent what she had wrote to us a few days prior so that any adjustments could be made… but… we chose to be surprised. I highly recommend this. That moment was so special for us. Hearing for the first time our “love story” as told by someone else. It was like someone was narrating our relationship and our future. Thank you isn’t enough.. but thank you, Cindie. You are so very special.

Extraordinary elopement officiant

Cindie was wonderful from beginning to end! From our first Zoom meeting from across the country we knew we wouldn't have to look any further for an officiant. She took the time to understand us and what we were looking for and tailored a beautiful little ceremony that brought both of us to tears (in the best way possible). She has crafted a wonderful survey/questionnaire that each of us filled out separately for her to use in building an intimate and personal ceremony that captured our relationship honestly and fully. Cindie is a true professional who takes her job to heart!

Perfect Officiant

All the reviews before me are right on target. Cindie was great from the start. Always responded to emails timely and wrote a beautiful, personable ceremony based on the questionnaire we filled out. She arrived early to our special day and communicated when she delivered our license. Perfect, seamless experience.

Cindie was such a pleasure to work with. She helped to maintain a relaxed and pleasant environment while also creating an easy flow of communication among myself and the bride/groom.

I've probably worked with 200 or so wedding officiants over the last few decades and Cindie is one of my favorites. She has a way of putting an otherwise nervous bride at ease, and truly cares about the needs of each couple- for Cindie, its not just another gig. She also looks great on camera:)
