I am based in Charleston, SC but yes, I DO travel if that's what you need
The short of it is this: I am an ordained minister in the United Church of Christ (like Presbyterian or Methodist but a little more progressive) and I have a husband and two dogs. I'm from Virginia but moved back to Charleston with my husband after serving a church for four years in Arizona. My undergrad is from Mary Baldwin College (English, Theater, Secondary Ed) and I have a Master of Divinity in Theology (emphasis in homiletics and political and religious ethics) from Pittsburgh Theological Seminary. I have lived in Scranton, Pittsburgh, Staunton, Americus, Ghana, Phoenix and now Charleston. Of all these places, Staunton and Charleston are home. My husband is an actor and we are super close to our families. A few of my favorite things in the world are boogie boarding at Folly Beach and listening to African drumming. And weddings.

I cannot say enough good things about Kristen! She is kind, loving, professional, funny and talented! A wedding officiant is probably one of the most important parts of a wedding, and I would hire Kristen again in a heartbeat. She provided a wealth of resources, unbiased direction and helped us craft our ceremony so that it was special to us and our family. It had our personality and flavor, and her execution was flawless. She gave the ceremony a reverent feel without being stuffy; her voice is smooth and peaceful. It sounds silly to note that, but any pronounced oddities in speech can be distracting! She helped us through the rehearsal, making sure everyone understood what was happening and preparing us for the next day. She is prompt when responding to emails and even took the time to meet us in person so that she could best understand us and bring it out in the ceremony. You can tell that she loves what she does and it shows. Her fee is so reasonable and worth every penny. If you want a stress-free and beautiful ceremony, hire her!!

We were planning our Charleston wedding from Atlanta, so the thought of picking an officiant from a list was a little scary, but the moment we spoke with Kristen on the phone, we knew she would be the perfect person to do our ceremony! We connected right away and decided to do premarital counseling sessions with her as well. This was by far the best decision we made! Kristen was absolutely amazing throughout the whole process and we looked forward to every session we had with her! She truly helped us prepare for not only one of the biggest days of our lives but for our marriage and future. She was always there to provide guidance and reassurance when we needed it and she also challenged us to dig a little deeper in our discussions! We enjoyed every moment! Most importantly, the ceremony was ABSOLUTELY perfect! We had so many people compliment us on our ceremony. The main reason is that she truly took the time to get to know us individually and as a couple and this came through in the ceremony from the readings to her help personalizing our vows, and her own words! She has a true passion for what she does and it shows through her work and it was an absolute pleasure working with her! Not a question in my mind, picking Kristen as our officiant was the best decision we made!

Kristen is absolutely amazing! She was such a hit! Everyone at the wedding could not believe we had just met her at the wedding rehearsal! It was like we had known her for years. She was able to write such a detailed, emotional, individualized ceremony, and she had the whole group in tears. She was wonderful to work with, easy to communicate with, and we have heard nothing but positive things about her ceremony. I would recommend Kristen to anyone getting married in Charleston over and over again.
