Tailored to Fit, With Love

Claire is an amazing partner to have on your wedding day! She took the time to connect with us to learn more about our ourselves, our family, and what we were looking to focus on for our wedding ceremony.

As a blended family, it was very important to include our daughter in our ceremony and vows. Claire took the time to understand more about our daughter and what we wanted to cover in the ceremony. She provided us with many options in the ceremony and worked with us to refine it so it would fit our family.

Everyone at our ceremony mentioned to us how touching and intimate the ceremony was, as well as how wonderful Claire is. She spent some time after the ceremony with us and our guests. She's super funny, willing to roll with the punches, and brings a true sense of love in bringing together us as a couple and a family. Thank you Claire! - Kristen and Craig

Warm, Welcoming, and Friendly

We feel so lucky to have had Claire marry us! From the moment we met her, we felt like we had known her forever. She was warm, welcoming, and friendly. She brought such a genuine energy to our ceremony. She is charismatic, heartfelt, and full of presence. Every word she spoke resonated deeply, not just with us, but with everyone in attendance. After the ceremony, so many of our guests came up to us just to say how incredible she was. She truly made the day feel even more special. We can’t recommend her enough!

Claire is the absolute greatest!

Claire was nothing short of wonderful to work with as our wedding officiant. We connected immediately with her, and she was professional, organized and enthusiastic about creating a special ceremony for our wedding day. She is experienced and goes above and beyond, as well as being one of the most personable and genuine people we've ever met!

Best Officiant in Maine

Claire officiated my wife and I's wedding and she was such a delight to work with. She wrote us the perfect ceremony and officiated it better than we could have hoped. She was such a warm, friendly presence for every part of it and made sure everything went so smoothly for us. We couldn't have asked for a better officiant and I would highly recommend Claire to anyone and everyone.

Claire brought sunshine and warmth to our wedding day

To be honest, I was overtaken with emotion seeing my soulmate eager to commit to a lifetime with me, and I ugly-cried during the entire ceremony. Despite my tears, Claire managed to keep the vibe light and warm with her exceptional delivery.

Neither my husband nor I had any clue what we wanted in a ceremony, and she put forward suggestions that felt tailor-made for our personalities and relationship story. Her ability to balance emotion with humor made our wedding ceremony truly special. She even made sure to include my stepson! She was incredibly professional and flexible when we threw last-minute changes at her (he decided he didn't want to read 15 minutes before the ceremony).

If you are getting married in Maine and you do not choose to have Savoir Claire officiate your ceremony, you are doing it wrong! I suggest booking right away.

Perfect choice! We love Claire!

It was an absolute delight to work with Claire! In addition to being easy to communicate with, she just exudes enthusiasm and genuine support. The ceremony was beautifully written and fit our setting perfectly. She encouraged feedback, but her first draft was so perfect we left it nearly untouched. You will not find an officiant who cares more about their couples than Claire!

Beyond Perfection!

I can't put into words how WONDERFUL our 40th renewal ceremony was; thanks to Claire! She is the BEST! We would recommend her to anyone for any event! From the very beginning, she makes you feel so comfortable! She is truly a professional, yet feels like we will now be life long friends! We seriously can't imagine it with someone else. Love her and how she listened! We were going to do our own vows, but her suggestions were better! It was AMAZING how she seemed to just "know" us! She is sweet (and funny) and delivered PERFECTION+ for this very special occasion!
Thank you for everything Claire! ❤️ Lynn Hackl

Absolutely Incredible. Savior Claire is a literal Angel!

My husband and I could not have had a more perfect officiant for our wedding. Claire is truly a beam of shining light. Her genuine personality captured the attention of all our friends and family who attended our wedding.

I have been a wedding photographer for 7+ years, so needless to say I have been to A LOT of weddings. I first met Claire in 2018 when she officiated a wedding I was photographing for. From that day forward, i knew whenever it was my time to get married, she would be the one that I called. Jump to 2020 and I got engaged and calling her was the top of my to-do list.

Claire is everything you want a person to be: loving, caring, passionate, patient, empathetic… the list goes on and on. One thing I love most about Claire is that she brings a certain kind of calmness to the room. She makes everyone feel at ease and also makes everyone feel endless love and joy,

I HIGHLY recommend Savior Claire to be your wedding officiant.

We loved the energetic and heartfelt messages that she conveyed on our wedding day; Claire most definitely helped put together our ideal ceremony!
