Endorsements
"We highly recommend Rev. Christopher/ Vows From the Heart. Rev. Christopher has a great personality and he is very easy to work with. He does a great job tailoring your ceremony to your specific needs and requests. Also, Rev. Christopher has his own sound equipment for the ceremony, so you do not need to worry about renting else where. If you hire Rev. Christopher, the only thing left that you need for the ceremony is the groom."
"Reverend Tuttle is one of the best for a reason - he rocks! His ceremonies are heartwarming with a touch of subtle humor. Top notch!"
"I don't know that I've worked with a more outgoing, and friendly officiant. Rev. Chris Tuttle is always honest and helpful in anyway possible, and his chipper smile will, without a doubt, immediately make your day better. He's always in a great mood, and is always looking to make his couple the happiest couple in the world. I've enjoyed and look forward to enjoying several more ceremonies with Reverend Christopher Tuttle. Thanks Chris!"

Reverend Christopher was fantastic! He made our ceremony so special and I could not have asked for anything more. We decided to get married about a month before our vacation to San Diego and we originally booked another vendor. After reading reviews, I had a gut feeling that I had made the wrong choice and contacted Reverend Christopher. He responded quickly to my email and my soon-to-be husband spoke with him on the phone shortly after. We knew he was the right person and booked the elopement. My wedding day was the most special day I ever could have asked for and Reverend Christopher was wonderful! It was not a quickie justice of the peace type thing, and his words were so heart felt and were much more amazing than anything I have ever heard. We hope to make it out to San Diego again and would love to renew our vows with Reverend Christopher at some point.

I know that the way my husband married was not traditional. We decided to elope to San Diego and have our ceremony on the #4 beach in the United States, Coronado Beach. The wedding was beautiful. Reverend Christopher @ Elope to San Diego was great. It took a matter of minutes to book him at very little cost. Rev. Christopher was on time and very responsive. I did not need to call much, but when I did, he was right there. The wedding ceremony was absolutely beautiful. He tailored the ceremony to the needs of my husband and me and made us feel sooooo comfortable. It seemed as if we had known him for years. In addition, Richard our photographer, who we also booked by reference of Rev. Christopher, was great. He was also prompt and responsive. These two were great. Our ceremony was perfect. We would not have done our ceremony any other way. Thanks to Rev. Christopher, we want to relive our special day over and over again because we had no cause to worry as both Rev. Christopher and Richard were both outstanding in the services they provided. Just so you know, my husband and I spent less than $3000 on our entire wedding which included: flight, Hotel Ivey, officiant, car service, photographer and dress/suit. I love my experience and I wouldn't change a thing.

Rev. Tuttle is a great officiant. He made the process EASY. And everyone who came to the wedding kept telling us how great he was. We all enjoyed his sense of humor, however, he was very respectful to make sure we wanted humor and he made it easy to make the ceremony exactly what we wanted, and he helped me to figure out what it was that I wanted, because at the begining, I had no clue.
I definetly recommend him.

Rev. Christopher Tuttle is truly a Godsend. At our first meeting with Rev. Tuttle, he provided us with a hearty packet of information that included components of the ceremony, sample vows, readings, and more as well as legal information, such as getting a marriage license to changing your name. The information is complementary as he wants all couples to be well informed. But it is his genuine passion for his ministry of marrying couples that is most appealing. He is dedicated to making this important event so special...and that he did! We felt so comfortable there and he spoke as if he had known us for a long time. Many of our guests commented on how wonderful the minister and the message were. If you are looking for a minister, I strongly encourage you to meet with Rev. Tuttle. You won't be disappointed!

We couldn't be happier having Rev. Christopher conduct our ceremony! He did an amazing job...from helping us plan to signing the docs! He was the first and only Rev. we interviewed! After meeting with him we knew right away that he was a perfect fit for us! He eased all my nerves when it came to the planning process...he is so organized! He was always available to me whenever I had a question. During the ceremony our guests were just captivated by him! We received one compliment after another about him! He has a genuine personality, his words couldn't have been more heartfelt. He made people laugh and cry! The ceremony turned our better then I could have ever imagined! We are so thankful that he was such a special part of our day! We will forever cherish how special he made our ceremony! and HIGHLY recommend him!!

Rev. Chris was a gift from above! Our elopement was planned, payed for and executed all within a 3 week time frame. My husband and I planned the ceremony on the phone and were expecting a packaged deal that would simply satisfy the courts. What we received was a wonderfully lighthearted, deeply moving and happy ceremony. We will cherish the memory of that day with Rev. Chris tightly tied to that moment in our lives!

5 stars all the way

Rev Chris is the best! if you are looking for an officiant that will not give you the same old boring ceremony, then he is you man. He involved all the guest but still made it special and sentimental. He was just so perfect, not only did my new husband and i love him but our families loved his and even our photographer commented on how great he was.

Rev. Christopher was wonderful to work with and did an amazing job with our ceremony. He was able to perform a Hawaiian ceremony for us (which is difficult to find in San Diego) that all of our guests loved. His daughter also created a beautiful sand ceremony set for us. I highly recommend Rev. Christopher to all brides out there!

We would highly recommend Rev. Christopher to anyone getting married in the San Diego area!

I can't begin to describe how pleased my new husband and I are with Rev. Tuttle. There are very few things that you hold so dear in your heart as the day you exchange vows before all your family and friends. It was a beautiful ceremony that incorporated and celebrated my husband's traditions. Being that most of our guest had never attended a Scottish ceremony Rev. Tuttle made everyone feel at ease by explaining the process as we went along.

Rev. Chris understood who we were as a couple, he even picked up on our wacky sense of humor.

We live in Glendale and distance was an issue but Rev. Tuttle was able to work around our schedule to meet with us in person. The day of the ceremony he was not only on time..but he was the first one to arrive at the church.
He was always available through email and by phone ( i'm convinced he doesnt' sleep ..lol). He was calm and always in good humor. His professionalism and charm made the day run so smoothly and it became a much more enjoyable experience for all of us.

Thank you Rev.!!!

-Mrs. Irvine
