About

Ten years ago, my sister called me from San Francisco and asked me for a favor. Before knowing what it was, I said sure, as sisters do. She then asked me to get my celebrant's license and marry her in a ceremony in California. I had no idea how to do this, or IF I could do this, because ten years ago, people I knew did not ask such things. But, I had already said yes, so it was a go!

It turned out that being the celebrant at a wedding was something I enjoyed. As a high school teacher, speaking in front of a crowd is comfortable to me, and writing the ceremony is an enjoyable, if not a bit stressful, task.

Since then, I have performed weddings for a family members, friends- including one in a living room, and clients! At the last rehearsal, the wedding coordinator asked me for my business information, and I was inspired. Why not do something I enjoy and help soon to be married couples create unique, personalized ceremonies for a reasonable price? So, here I am.

Great Wedding Officiant!

Christine was great to work with. She was very professional and responsive. She helped us write our whole ceremony script and the ceremony ran very smoothly the day of! During our repeat after me vows, she whispered our lines off to the side discreetly. Many guests thought we had memorized the vows! I highly recommend her if you need a wedding officiant.

Personable & easy to work with.

I can say nothing but great things about Chrissy. She is a wonderful, personable, and professional woman. Chrissy is confident in what she does and shares enthusiasm while helping you plan for this special moment. Chrissy listened to how my husband and I planned for the ceremony to go. She offered advice on things to keep and something’s we can do away with. I am not a religious person but my husbands family is so when I told her I wasn’t planning on having a reading she suggested the verse from 1 Corinthians 13; “Love is patient, love is kind…” so that way both of us were pleased. Chrissy helped us with our vows to make sure they were written at the same level of expression for one another! On the day of the wedding Chrissy spoke with love and passion that made our ceremony feel wholesome. Our guests came up to us after expressing how enjoyable our ceremony was and how much they enjoyed Chrissy. Do not pass up an opportunity to work with Chrissy! She is a wonderful addition to your special day.

Amazing from start to finish.

I cannot imagine our wedding day without Christine. My husband and I had planned an intimate ceremony with just our immediate family, but when our family’s limo took them to the wrong venue (true story- do NOT recommend my limo service!), we had to quickly pivot on our plan and perform the ceremony with all of our guests in attendance. Christine kept us cool, calm & collected at that moment as well as throughout our planning process. She helped guide us through everything from the paperwork to expressing our feelings in perfectly worded vows. While most wedding guests will compliment the bride and groom on the music, food and general atmosphere, so many of our guests told us how perfect our ceremony was. And they’re so right- it was ❤️.

The Madison 4/9

I cannot put into words how awesome Christine is! She made me feel so comfortable from the moment I reached out to her. She was able to develop the perfect script for my husband and I, and it was exactly what we asked for! We absolutely loved having her as part of our day and I am so thankful for all of her help navigating through this entire process.

Could not have found a better officiant!

Christine was just wonderful! She was so friendly and personable that even though we just met, it felt like having a friend officiate for us. She took her time getting our ceremony script just right and was so patient with us when we had to postpone and reschedule our wedding. Our day ended up being super special and she was a big reason for that! Thank you again Christine! If you are thinking about reaching out to Christine for your wedding, go for it!

Absolutely amazing!

Christine was absolutely amazing and she made everything perfect! She really took the time to get to know us and created such a perfect ceremony for us. From the words she spoke to how she help designed how we would walk down the aisle and all her little tips for the whole day. She created a personalized and thoughtful ceremony, and due to covid we could only meet through the phone until the ceremony! She simply loves what she does and it shines through the experience she creates. If I could give 100 stars I would. We can’t thank you enough!

Wonderful wedding ceremony!

Christine was awesome to work with for my wedding this past September! I would absolutely recommend her to any bride. She worked with us to create a custom ceremony that we loved! I received so much positive feedback about my ceremony from my guests, some saying it was the best ceremony they have ever been to!!!!
