Must hire!

Christy is such a breath of fresh air! She brought such a personal touch to our wedding ceremony and was a joy to work with leading up to the date. She was able to give us direction and structure to our ceremony and was open to any and all ideas. Our family was touched by how she weaved our story into the commitment of marriage. She was able to accommodate a last minute add to our script with ease. We would recommend her to anyone looking for an officiant/celebrant for their day!

Perfect Ceremony!

We are so grateful to have had Christy Harman as our wedding officiant! Even though we didn’t know her beforehand, from our very first meeting she made us feel so comfortable and understood. Through thoughtful questions and conversation, she quickly picked up on who we are as a couple and crafted a ceremony that truly reflected our personalities and love story.

Our guests couldn’t stop talking about how personal, inviting, and modern the ceremony felt — it was everything we hoped for and more. Christy was also amazing at the rehearsal, helping to calm nerves and guide everyone with warmth and confidence.

She is such a kind, accepting, and positive presence, and we honestly can’t recommend her enough. Christy brought such a light to our day and made our ceremony feel truly special and uniquely “us.” 💍✨

Christy is a miracle-worker!

It has been difficult to find the words to describe how wonderful Christy is. Not only during the day of our wedding, but for months and months before our big day, Christy was so helpful in guiding us throughout the process, and was truly interested in getting to know us as a couple.

On our wedding day, a stormed rolled in and everything had to be changed last minute - our original plan went out the window. Christy was truly a miracle-worker in getting everything rearranged, and our day could not have been more perfect. As both our celebrant and coordinator, she played the two biggest roles in our wedding, and executed them both flawlessly.

More than anything, she cares about the people she works with. She puts so much heart into what she does, and she is one of those people who has found their true calling. Thank you, Christy, for everything you did for us - we are so grateful!

Christy makes weddings exceptional!

Christy was the wedding coordinator and officiant for my daughter's wedding on September 6, 2025. To say that Christy is exceptional is an understatement! She is phenomenal in her role! We had rainy weather set in unexpectedly at 2:00 for a 5:00 wedding and she pivoted seamless and kicked into another gear to transition to an indoor ceremony. Her energy, organization, leadership skills, grace-under-pressure, tact, and commitment to ensuring that the wedding was exactly what my daughter wanted was unstoppable - and the wedding turned out spectacular. Then after handling all of the set up, she transitioned herself into the officiant role by 5:00, and calm as if she'd been relaxing all afternoon, she delivered such a thoughtful and meaningful wedding program. She seamlessly wove the information that she obtained from my daughter and her fiancee into her comments in a way that showed that she truly got to know them and cared about them. She continued to execute on their plans all night to make sure that every detail of the reception was exactly what they wanted. It was amazing and I will be forever grateful to her. She is amazing. I cannot say enough good things about this lady to truly capture how remarkable she is at her job.

Best officiant ever!!

Christy was the BEST officiant we could’ve asked for. Having a great officiant was very important
To my fiancé and I to bring a sentimental & emotional feeling to our ceremony and we wanted our guests to feel and understand our love and WOW to Christy exceed our expectations. She was responsive the entire time working with her, had a very positive and just loving energy & really knows what she’s doing. She was great to work with from start to finish, attended our rehearsal to make sure things were seamless on the day of and provided ring exchange examples and vow samples to help us spark creativity with writing our vows. Her 6 questions she gave for each of us to answer before hand and then sharing our answers with each other on the day of- was incredible. I would recommend her to anyone getting married in VA!!

Lgbtq+ positive, professional, and skilled!

Christy became our SAVIOUR after a horrible experience with another officiant whom we had to let go. Christy was loving, kind, understanding, professional and she did our pre-written ceremomy so much justice! She isn't just LGBTQ friendly, she is accepting, excited and honored to work with all kinds of LGBTQ couples! She made our day so stress free- specifically because I could relax knowing she knew what she was doing! She worked so quickly with the court to get our paperwork submitted and I am incredibly grateful for her going above and beyond for us! She has an wonderfully calming presence and will elevate your ceremony to be exactly what you wanted! I can't speak highly enough about Christy! You will NOT be dissappointed!!

Have an stress-free wedding day with Christy!!!

I honestly don’t know what I would have done without Christy! She takes the time to get to know you & your fiancé so it does not feel like a stranger is marrying you. You can tell how much she cares about your experience. She responds quickly to questions and works behind the scenes to ensure you have a stress free wedding day. I’m so happy she was able to be a part of our special day!

Christy was a pleasure to work with! She was very responsive and from our first video call, we knew we wanted her to officiate our wedding.
