    We love Claire!!

    We have had the absolute honor of working with Claire several times and we absolutely adore her! She is so fantastic to work with and I know her couples are always thrilled. From start to finish, Claire gives her couples the ceremony of their dreams. We have loved witnessing the joy, dedication, and authenticity that Claire brings to each wedding and elopement. Recommending Claire will always be an easy choice for us, she really is the BEST!

    Savoir Claire's reply:

    I was greeted by Cassidy my first time officiating at Captain Nickels Inn & have been smitten with her, Dawn and the Inn ever since. It's a spectacular mansion that I swear resembles a wedding cake. Set right on the coast, in the charming village of Searsport, Maine, there's plenty to do and fantastic photo ops all around. The Inn attracts the most interesting couples and it's always a treat to officiate there! Thank you, Cassidy - you & Dawn always bring out my "wedding enthusiasm!"

    Where to even start...

    My now husband and I waited until the last minute to book our officiant, we weren't exactly sure what we wanted... so we reached out to a few officiants and Claire responded and one of her clients just cancelled and she now had our date available. Meant to be! We chatted with her over zoom and she stole our hearts, we booked her right away. Claire was absolutely amazing, I cannot say enough good things about her. Claire's energy is so positive and it just makes you want to be around her! Every person we have talked to after our wedding asked who our officiant was and how we found her - everyone just raved about how amazing Claire was and everyone loved her! During the ceremony, Claire and my husband just fed off of each other in such an organic and refreshing way, she made it such a magical experience for the both of us. I couldn't imagine a better person to marry us. She saged guests as they walked in and that's exactly what we envisioned for our day, she showed up for us fully and in such a loving way that she felt like family. Weeks after our wedding, we are still hearing from family and friends about how amazing Claire was - even on the rehearsal dinner night everyone couldn't get enough of her. If Claire is available for your wedding date, I promise you will not regret booking her! When we renew our vows in the future, we will be calling Claire to see if she can be there with us! Thank you, Claire for being such an incredible and genuine soul - we love you!!

    How was Catie & Ian’s wedding? Where do I begin?!😂
    The Flower Girl was a man who proceeded down the aisle to hokey-pokey music tossing petals and twirling. Then he danced back up and down the aisle handing cans of beer to the guests. He had them in his pockets & in something called a “beer-belt.”😂
    The Groom cried through the whole ceremony. There was no first look so when the bride appeared, the groom, who was mic’d, became overwhelmed and exclaimed “Holy fucking shit!” to the delight of the guests. He then burst into tears and only stopped crying when he would again exclaim “Holy shit!” before being able to breathe. It was surprisingly charming.😂
    The Maid of Honor, the Bride's sister, gave a lovely reading, however when the Bride read her vow "I promise to put you first..", the MOH whispered (loudly) “That last one’s a lie..” Again, to the delight of the guests. 😂
    Yes, by the pronouncement I had a case of potty mouth too: “By the power vested in me.. oh what the hell. Holy shit you’re married!"😂 Again, the guests were in stitches.
    Though there was no rush to complete the ceremony, the Chihuahua in the front row kept falling asleep which wreaked havoc on my confidence..😂
    The guests and I had the best time. Was it the smudging? I really think so! I adore this couple, their families and amazing friends. We hit it off like long lost family. We couldn't stop laughing. Like heaving, snorting laughing. It was just the best.❤️

    Claire Is The Only Choice

    Claire married us this fall and we can't imagine having gone with any other officiant. When you've never been married, you quickly realize you have no idea what you're supposed to do besides say, "I do." Thankfully Claire was there to answer all of our questions and guide us through ever step of the ceremony. We loved meeting with Claire via Zoom to get to know each other because it reassured us we had picked the right person. Not to mention she was locked and loaded with interactive ideas to make the wedding more than just an officiant speaking while everyone listens. The poems and readings she suggested for us were also very fitting. And the way Claire interacted with everyone at the wedding was just icing on the wedding cake! We're so happy we made the right choice by going with Claire.

    Savoir Claire's reply:

    We had fun creating this wedding ceremony! Liz & Mike came with their own ideas whether they knew it or not! The final product was a ceremony that was so uniquely theirs it was just perfect. Their parents were straight out of central casting! I had so much fun with them while I was there. Dawn at Captain Nickels Inn arranged every detail so perfectly - a cake, champagne, photographers and ME! Dawn and her daughter Cassidy are such gems and the Inn is like getting married in a wedding cake! What luck that Liz and Mike found them! Please come back to renew your vows!

Claire is a wonderful officiant for any wedding. She is spirited, joyous, and has a ton of personality personality. She has a beautiful way of infusing life into the vows so that everyone in the room becomes excited and wrapped up in the unity. I highly recommend Claire!
