    Absolutely amazing

    Chris was awesome to work with! I called him Thursday and he was able to meet up Friday. The whole process was fun and super informal (untraditional but what we wanted). He even took pictures for us after! Couldn’t have picked a better officiant.

    Couldn't have asked for better

    I would highly recommend Chris to other couples. Very professional and had a way of making our ceremony intimate. Very likable personality and worth the time to hire. He hand wrote our ceremony and made it one of a kind. Upon completion, he gave it to us as a keepsake. We didn't get the feeling like he was rushing out and took the time for conversation afterward.

    Truly Outstanding

    Chris was truly beyond everything we could’ve asked for and more. The wedding was short notice (like a week advance) but that didn’t matter to Chris. He was willing and ready to help from the beginning. Have beautiful recommendations for venues and prepared everything with the marriage certificate the very same day. He showed up early and had pre written vows ready to go. And fun special unique quote. The day truly would not have been as special as it was if it wasn’t for Chris. Could not thank him enough for all he did for my wife and I. 10/10 would recommend him to anyone who asked.

    Excellent service!!!!!!

    Chris ensured we had the best ceremony possible. From the beginning when we found Chris on thumbtack, he was responsive, and even gave us ideas for our ceremony script. The best part was hearing the surprise quote he prepared for us and we loved how he kept the audience laughing. Chris listened to and assisted with all of our requests and even worked with our vendors to ensure our ceremony was seamless. I was able to surprise my wife with horses & a carriage after our ceremony and Chris worked with the vendor and coordinators to ensure the carriage was at the end of the aisle right on time. We have absolutely no complaints about the services provided and would definitely recommend Chris to anyone we know getting married in the future.

    Chris was great, professional, and couldn't have asked for better. Made the ceremony fun, included our story of how we met. Lots of laughs and he helped keep us organized during the reception as well.

    Perfect wedding

    My husband and I got married on 10/1/2022. We found Chris Karol on wedding wire and from the first conversation knew he was the perfect fit. He made the perfect script for our ceremony and had all of our family and friends laughing. We had a small ceremony, but it just felt so much more intimate with the way Chris wrote the ceremony. I could never wish to have a better officiant.

    So Wonderful!

    Chris was incredible! He helped us every step of the way in deciding on vows. He sent over several different styles and verbiage. We were able to look at them and put together a truly custom ceremony and vows. If I had to do it 100 times over, I would pick Chris every time. I couldn’t have asked for a better officiant.

    Professional and personalized experience.

    Chris was fantastic at our wedding in September of 2022. He was very easy to get in touch with, addressed every question, and concern that came up. He went above and beyond the day of offering guidance, reassurance, and encouragement. He felt like family the day of. The attention to detail was appreciated. I will absolutely be looking to him in the future when we decide to renew our vows.

    Best Wedding Experience

    Chris Karol truly made our event the best possible experience for everyone. He expressed his genuine care to meet several times to help plan our ceremony catered to our wishes, even us scripting the ceremony and our vows. Location wasn't an issue, he drove a few hours to our venue on the Blue Ridge Parkway.

    Wonderful officiant!

    We got married in August and Chris was wonderful to work with. We had a good idea of what we wanted - we didn’t want a stuffy service and wanted to include a sand ceremony to signify joining our families and Chris was happy to oblige. In addition, my husband’s parents wanted to renew their vows and he agreed to officiate a quick service during the professional photos with that side of the family. That was very meaningful for all of us.

    He made it special!

    Me and my now husband went a very untraditional way because well... He's incarcerated... The original officiant cancelled last minute and I scrambled to find someone who could step in. I found the PERFECT guy! Mr Karol made me feel as if my situation wasn't a situation at all! He sent me vow ideas , communication was very strong , he kept in contact daily till our big day! He was there before I was, had all paperwork ready for me , he was friendly , chatty, professional and made you feel like you've known him forever! The ceremony went smoothly, he cracked appropriate jokes, we laughed and had a great time! He made us both comfortable and made our not so happy situation into a beautiful day! I highly recommend Mr. Karol !

    Our Wedding experience with Chris was amazing!

    My husband and I were extremely pleased with the Wedding Ceremony that Chris performed for us. He was professional and kind and wrote our vows for us using a little twist of his own. He was very accommodating and flexible, prompt and friendly and even took some personal photos of us. We would Strongly Recommend Chris Karol for your nuptials, you will be very pleased with his services. Great Job Chris!
