    All of the Kingdoms Rejoiced!

    Katrina was spectacular in every way she could be. From finding the perfect outfit and words to match our theme, to the enthusiasm she exuded to help make us even more excited, she made us shine and the night all the more magical.

    5 stars! ★★★★★

    We hired Katrina to officiate our wedding on May 6, 2023 & our ceremony was amazing! Katrina was very professional, on time, & was the perfect amount of communicative - especially in the ~2 months leading up to the wedding (if you know...you know!!) We met ahead of time at a coffee shop to get to know each other & we felt very comfortable up there together on the big day. She customized our ceremony so it was meaningful & special to us as well as our family & friends. We had a few options to choose from & I kind of combined two & it was just perfect!

    Highly recommend East Coast Ceremonies if you are looking for an officiant to add to your big day.

    East Coast Ceremonies's reply:

    Thank you for your kind words. I love connecting with you and Spencer. Your love story captured my heart. Although I am an FSU fan I still enjoyed creating your ceremony just for you! Thank you for giving me the honor in being a part of your ceremony. Best wishes and love on your marriage journey!

    Katrina was amazing!

    Katrina was recommended by our venue where we got eloped and I was so happy that we found her! She was extremely friendly and accommodating. She even reminded us that we needed a few extra things that we didn’t think about for our ceremony. Katrina was prompt when it came to our appointments and on ceremony day, and her personalized ceremony had us both in tears. We highly recommend using her!

    East Coast Ceremonies's reply:

    Kristin, I wish you and Nikki the best marriage journey that you could imagine. You both are truly meant for each other and the boys are blessed with the love you both have for them. Thank you for the review!

    Absolutely Wonderful

    When going into choosing an officiant, I can honestly say I had no idea what I was getting myself into. I was planning a non-traditional destination micro-wedding on a budget and had literally chosen and hired every other vendor I felt we needed, but when it came to the person who was going to help orchestrate the actual ceremony, I was a little nervous and definitely overwhelmed.

    How can you trust someone you have never met to understand you well enough to guide you and your fiancé into married life? Enter Katrina Martines.

    My early interactions with Katrina were primarily through chat rooms and emails. Due to time constraints and the distance between us, we talked on the phone as opposed to meeting in person. Even so, I found her to be incredibly accommodating, relatable, and a calming presence in the chaos. She quickly became someone I could trust, communicated regularly, and provided much-needed guidance to assure I was fully prepared for the big day.

    I would recommend her services a thousand times over.

    East Coast Ceremonies's reply:

    Alicia, your review made my heart melt in awe. You and Stephen are a perfect match and I'm grateful to have been chosen and a part of your magical moment. I felt and saw how much you both complete each other. Your energy and compassion with one another said it all. I wish you both an amazingly fun marriage journey and continue to keep each other in your highest priorities and don't forget that a hug, kiss, touch and compliment towards one another goes a long way. Congratulations!!

    Earth Coast Ceremonies is the best!

    We loved working with Katrina for our April 2022 wedding. She has been so patient with us as we rescheduled three times since our original April 2020 date. We loved the ceremony she conducted for us, and we highly recommend her for your wedding!

    East Coast Ceremonies's reply:

    Natalie it's been a pleasure helping this dream come true for you and Travis. Life has unexpected hurdles to go through and you both have beat this one. Thank you for choosing me to officiate your ceremony. I'm looking forward to the new beginnings you both will experience through your marriage journey.

    She is really good,,; she is professional

    Katrina exceeded our expectations. I wrote the ceremony with help from her scripts and adding meaningful passages. She helped us to create and perform a sweet sand ceremony to include all four kids.

    Thank you Kerry for the review. I enjoyed helping you create your ceremony and wish you the best in your marriage journey.

    Perfect for us

    Katrina was a great match for our wedding. We didn’t know where to start and she helped guide us through different ceremony and vow options. She was easy to get in touch with and made time to get to know us. She made our ceremony unique to us, which was very important!

    East Coast Ceremonies's reply:

    Haley and Rob, I had a great time helping you plan and it was my honor officiating for you! I wish you continued friendship, love and a family to start one day. Thank you for the review.

    Perfection!

    Katrina was so understanding from the very first day. She listened to what my husband and I wanted and pictured for our ceremony and went above and beyond for us. We couldn’t be happier and we definitely recommend anyone needing an officiant to contact her.

    East Coast Ceremonies's reply:

    Thank you Paula. I am grateful that I was chosen to help in making your ceremony what you imagined. I give you my blessings for a beautiful marriage journey ahead.

    Summer elopement

    Katrina was great! She gave us a script before that perfectly fit our needs. She also patiently waited out a rain storm and helped us take pictures by holding our pup. She was over the top helpful and created a beautiful ceremony for us!

    East Coast Ceremonies's reply:

    Thank you for the review! I had an amazing time officiating for you both. You're baby pup is a funny one and loves his mama. Congratulations to you both and best wishes on your marriage journey!

    Perfect officiant!

    Katrina was the perfect officiant for my unique ceremony! She was easy to work with and always got back with me right away with any questions I had. We had an hour long ceremony including handfasting, crowning, stone, plant, Quaich and jumping the broom ceremonies, and Katrina didn’t miss a beat! She was kind enough to honor all of my requests including dressing in medieval attire, and she looked fabulous in our pictures!
    I felt at ease knowing that Katrina is a professional and could handle any “mishaps” that could occur throughout the ceremony.....luckily there were none! I highly recommend utilizing her services to make your day even more wonderful than you expect!

    East Coast Ceremonies's reply:

    Jaciel this was an amazing experience that I had the joy of being a part of. You and Kenny have truly given the meaning of what heritage, family, friends and love should be. Thank you for choosing me to be a part of your ceremony! The atmosphere was truly amazing and for every part of your heritage.

    Halloween Wedding in Saint Augustine

    My Husband Scott and I Decided to get Married in Saint Augustine on Halloween Night 2020. He had always wanted a Halloween Wedding; And we could think of no better place after a short staycation there.
    While researching wedding venues and wedding officiant I was referred to Katrina. She had just finished officiating a ceremony, when I called and took the time to pull over while driving to talk to me About officiating my wedding. I knew then that I found the right person for the job! Since this was a same sex marriage both my husband and I had concerns about the Process. But Katrina was extremely excepting and made the process very quick ,easy , fun, and enjoyable. Both Scott and I could not of asked for a better person to officiate our wedding and our marriage vows.

    East Coast Ceremonies's reply:

    James thank you for the review. I am thankful that I was able to officiate your ceremony for you and Scott. I give my blessings to you both on your marriage journey together!

    Looking for an Officiant? Katrina is the one for you!

    Katrina was absolutely wonderful leading up to the Wedding day. She was available to answer every question that came to mind and was very helpful with the details for the ceremony. She tailored the ceremony script to fit our family, and to include our 1 year old baby girl and of course our fur child! We loved having her as our officiant! Would highly recommend Katrina!

    Katrina from East Coast Ceremonies was absolutely exceptional and truly is the definition of a quality wedding vendor. Katrina was very professional, she knew exactly what she was doing, how things needed to be to look good and was extremely responsive and supportive throughout the process of working with her.

    The best!!

    Katrina officiated our ceremony and she was a blessing from the very beginning. Any questions we had were answered and she even stayed after the ceremony and assisted our photographer with our posed photos! She was loud and clear in our tiny church with no mic or anything, and made our ceremony very beautiful with her well written scripts. I would never choose anyone else!!
