Ceremony Speech

I cannot say enough great things about Chaplain Claudia. She was very professional, organized, communicative and inquisitive. She did a great job at getting to know us as a couple and telling our story. Watching my wedding video and her delivering her message is probably one of my favorite parts. She is so poised. She happened to use my favorite quote during the service-talk about fate! I can't imagine hiring anyone else for my special day and am so thankful and grateful for Chaplain Claudia.

Amazing job with my last minute small ceremony.

When I found myself needing an officiant just a few days before my small ceremony, I reached out to Claudia hoping that she would be available on such short notice. She responded the same day letting me know she was available and worked with me over the remaining days to make sure I had the wedding I wanted. She put together a lovely personalized speech and helped make my day very special.

Claudia is absolutely AMAZING!

Where do I even begin? Claudia went above and beyond our expectations for a officiant. Our customized ceremony was beautiful, and personalized. And she was so relaxed, kind, and helpful when we moved locations last minute. Not only did she stick around before and after the ceremony to help with photos with our photographer, she also helped carry things and was just such a huge blessing to both my husband and I day of. Our ceremony was small but everyone who attended raved about Claudia, and I am unsure that this review is enough to thank her for all of her help. Without a doubt hire Claudia, on the most important day of your life she will put you at ease and make everything feel so seamless. Thank you again, over and over and over!!

The Best Chaplain Ever!

We loved loved loved working with Chaplain Claudia. She was so supportive, understanding, caring, and funny! She really took the time to get to know us and incorporate our personalities into our ceremony. She was also incredibly responsive and an excellent guiding hand during the planning process. She made writing our vows stress-free. During the ceremony, she was so prepared for us - bringing printouts of our vows so we wouldn't have to worry. She worked with the venue, photographer, and DJ to make the ceremony smooth sailing and absolutely perfect. Thank you for being our cheerleader and support through this process! Forever in our hearts.

Claudia Officiant

We immediately connected with Claudia and knew she was the officiant for us. She had us complete a very detailed questionnaire and we had many in-depth conversations to truly capture our relationship. She made us feel confident and at ease. Her words during the ceremony were very meaningful and allowed our guests to get a glimpse into our relationship. She is not just a great officiant but also a great person who is genuinely happy for her couples. We couldn't recommend Claudia more!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
