She has performed over 500 ceremonies - weddings & vow renewals; indoors or outdoors, large or small, at a venue, a park, a home, in a backyard or a cornfield, wherever you'd like.

'Your Day Your Way Celebrations' is based out of Horton, MI and she will only travel within 50 miles of Jackson in case there is a traffic problem on the way that could make her late. The last thing you need to worry about on your wedding day is the Officiant holding up the ceremony.

Amazing elopement with Christine!

My Husband and I decided we wanted a small elopement with just our children and two close family member as witnesses. With just a few weeks notice Christine created the exact
Wedding we wanted. She put together a fantastic ceremony for us and directed us as needed with no prior rehearsal. The building itself was unique and beautiful and I cannot wait to get our pictures back from the photographer! Our wedding was all about our commitment to each other and our family without a whole lot of extra glam and glitz that comes with a larger wedding, but I'm sure if that is your style Christine would do a great job coordinating that as well!

Best place to have a wedding!

I had my wedding here April of 2023 and it was amazing. She made sure everything went smoothly and was very flexible on my crazy schedule. She was always willing to help where we needed it and her friendly, light hearted personality made the stressful moments scarce. She definitely made the wedding planning a lot easier for someone who has never planned a wedding before and always made sure it was the day I dreamed of. I highly recommend celebrations wedding chapel for the event of your dreams at an affordable price!

Perfect wedding day

Christine was a fantastic officiant who was flexible, experienced, informative and helpful, kind, patient and thoughtful. She guided us through the process of marriage, both in creating a beautiful ceremony and in assistance with technicalities like name changing. The chapel is better than the online pictures can even capture, it’s got SO much character and charm. The stained glass windows, antique furniture, and interesting trinkets were charming as can be. Christine’s ceremony builder helped us create the perfect outline for a nice presentation, and she is open to people of all backgrounds and beliefs or lack there of. The price for renting her chapel and officiant service is truly unbeatable and WELL worth the money. Could not be happier with how our ceremony went, highly recommend!!! On our wedding day Michigan was plagued with a horrific ice storm, but I hardly noticed because everything else was such a dream come true.

Ice storm didn’t stop us!

Christine drove over an hour to my home after a huge ice storm took out all the power at the chapel. Although I was unable to get married at the venue she was more than accommodating and drove to us so we could still get Married! She is such an amazing woman and we are so grateful for her working on the fly to make sure our day was special.

Highly recommended.

Our wedding day was perfect. She was pet friendly which is hard to find. The Chapel was so beautiful. She was very accommodating when my now wife found out she had COVID just a few days before the service. She let us reschedule our wedding and didn't charge us any extra. If you're looking for something small and very intimate her chapel should be top on your list

She gave us a far better experience than we could have imagined.

Everything was perfect from the minute I met her, even though it wasn’t. We had to change things several times and she was always east to deal with and accommodating.
As for our ceremony, well; it was as though she’d lived our entire experience. I’d recommend anyone to go to Celebrations!!

We had the most beautiful 10 year Hallowedding vow renewal! Christine was absolutely wonderful to work with and treated us like family! She was amazing with communication & helped us make our vow renewal special every step of the way. The venue was beautiful, vintage, and very well kept. Would recommend again and again! Our day was so special, a memory we will cherish forever!
