BEST Experience!

Rev. Christine was everything we could hope for in an officiant. She’s extremely responsive, profess, kind, helpful, and best of all, she has an incredible sense of humor. Rev. Christine helped make our day incredibly special and we are so blessed to have met her.

Hire her!

Hiring Rev. Christine was one of the BEST decisions we made! We knew from the moment we met her at Starbucks that she was the perfect fit!! She was super helpful and patience during the entire process and I cannot recommend her enough! My only regret is in the chaos after the ceremony, I was not able to snag her for a pic with us (totally my fault because I suck 😂). Everyone at the wedding raved about how great she was and I honestly could not imagine having anyone else marry us!! 20/10....HIRE HER....I promise you will not be disappointed!
