Extremely Positive Experience

From the time that we initially met Cris until we both said "I do," Cris went above and beyond in making sure he included every detail that we wanted to be a part of our wedding ceremony. From guiding us through the pre-wedding licensing requirements, including a personalized reading, and also helping us find transportation so that our 4-legged was there with us, Cris made it possible for us to have our perfect day. We would recommend Cris' services without hesitation to anyone who asks, and greatly appreciate everything he did for us. Thank you Cris!

Wonderful Experience!

Cris was absolutely wonderful to work with. My wife and I were coming from different religious backgrounds and we didn’t want either element to overpower the other in the ceremony and he did a beautiful job blending it all together. Cris also met with us as much as we needed to review the drafts he created, and made any changes we requested in a prompt manner. He made suggestions to us when we asked for it and was always available for questions when they arose.
Above all, Cris was efficient. He made sure we knew timelines and what to expect during the rehearsal and ceremony which was such a relief in the planning process. All we had to do was show up for both nights and he took care of the rest 😊
He delivered a beautiful ceremony for us and our guests, and we could not be more grateful. Beyond that, he has been a great resource for us for any marriage license, name change, etc. items that we had to do in prep for the wedding and then after.
We wholeheartedly recommend Cris!!

I couldn't have asked for a better officiant!

I would absolutely recommend Cris to anyone looking for a professional, flexible and personable officiant for their wedding. Cris was wonderful from the moment I started the process with him up until the very end. I was sad to see him go at the end! He was flexible in working out times to meet with my now husband and I when we had some last minute conflicts and made us feel so comfortable from the second we met him. He wrote a beautiful ceremony for us and allowed us to make any edits that we wanted. He was available at any time of the day for questions/concerns and was very quick to respond to any email I sent him. We loved our ceremony and the style he brought to it. He took every desire we had for our ceremony and put careful thought into it and made sure he found a way to eloquently include our daughter as well as our loved ones that passed on before us. It was everything we ever wanted and he threw in the perfect amount of humor where it needed to be. I received so many compliments after our wedding on what a fantastic job he did and what a beautiful ceremony he performed. I couldn't have asked for more, he really was the perfect choice for an officiant for our wedding. I would absolutely recommend him to anyone!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
