Super friendly and great follow up!!

Crystal was amazing to work with. We had to reschedule a couple times due to the pandemic and she was able to accommodate our new date. So happy to have found an LGBBT officiant to unite my partner and I. Extra plus that she came dressed in our theme!!!! Super exciting!

Beautiful ceremony and insightful counselor.

Crystal was amazing! My wife and I utilized both the premarital and officiating services. We felt so relieved to have someone to share with that understood the LGBTQ+ experience. Crystal’s expertise as a counselor also helped build onto a great foundation prior to our marriage. After the ceremony, we received numerous compliments from our guests on her officiating. It was truly an amazing day. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Crystal to anyone looking for a wedding officiant!

Amazing officiate with a way with words!

Crystal is very good with speaking in front of people and had a way with words. Multiple family members talked about how well she did and that they really enjoyed listening to her. She gave me exactly what I asked for, a non religious wedding with a part for the sand ceremomy.
