    heartfelt!

    Kristin was amazing! She made everything so simple and easy for us which honestly is the biggest and only thing I ask for in any vendor. She created questionnaires that help us make sure our ceremony was tailored to us as a couple. She gave us very detail information on how to apply for the marriage license and certificate. It made things easy for us and I don't have do my own research.

    Kristin Is Amazing!

    Kristin was the BEST wedding officiant we could've asked for! My husband and I were both a little nervous for our big day, but she made us feel at ease and made sure our ceremony ran smoothly. She also did a fantastic job helping us at our wedding rehearsal, so we knew exactly what to do during the ceremony. We loved her pre-written vows as well, and she had lots to choose from. She was definitely a highlight of our wedding, I'd highly recommend her to anyone looking for an officiant in the Venutra area!

    Amazing and passionate officiant

    Kristin was such an amazing officiant. She helped us through the entire process before, during, and after the ceremony. She has so much passion and love for what she does and brought that into our ceremony. My wife and I were extremely happy with how she officiated our wedding and would highly recommend her to everyone we know.

    Would Definitely Recommend!

    Kristin made sure to make the whole process very seamless and simple, which was important to us. We had 2 short conversations and she walked us through the whole process. Although, I consider myself a very organized person, I appreciated all the reminder emails because wedding planning can get hectic. She spells out exactly what you need and what is next so that you are not surprised. She made this whole process very stress free and we really liked all the options she had for vows. She has a very calm and upbeat energy, which helped us stay calm during the ceremony. I would definitely recommend her services to anyone!

    Incredible Experience and Ceremony!

    My husband and I were blown away at how amazing our experience with Kristin was. From the moment we sent in our inquiry to after the ceremony when it was time to file our paperwork, Kristin made our experience so easy by providing thorough instructions on how to prepare and complete every step that was needed as well as performing an absolutely beautiful ceremony that we'll never forget. She is kind, professional, organized and fun! If you are in the Ventura County area and tying the knot soon, please do yourself a favor and book with Seaside Ceremonies!

    Perfection

    I will say the moment we spoke to Kristen we could feel the enthusiasm and passion for what she does. She made the whole experience from start to finish perfect. She gave us various options and it was extremely well put together. The day of the wedding was amazing and she just enhanced the moment. We couldnt of asked for a better person to marry us. I would recommend her to anyone!

    Simply the Best!

    Kristin was a professional and a joy to work with from the beginning until the end. She was prompt in answering emails, printed out our vows, and even wanted a picture with us! She had so many great ideas to add to our ceremony that I have not thought of before. I cried when she sent the rough draft of our ceremony because it was so uniquely us and had everything we wanted out of our ceremony. A guest at our wedding asked us about Kristin during the reception and we could not say enough good things about her. I highly recommend her!

    Handled Everything Perfectly

    Kristin was a delight to work with from beginning to end. I felt like she really understood our relationship and what we were hoping to achieve with the ceremony. She made the whole process fun and easy. I could not have asked for a better officiant!

    Fantastic!

    Kristin is amazing! She officiated our elopement, and it was nothing short of perfection. She is the epitome of professionalism and made the process so enjoyable. If you're looking for a deeply personal and special ceremony, she's your gal!

    Great officiant!

    We had a great experience with Kristin and would recommend her! She collaborated with us to create a script that we were happy with, and she performed it enthusiastically for our ceremony. She is very professional and knowledgeable; she helped us prepare for our marriage license appointment, filed our document and obtained copies for us quickly, and shared useful advice about how to go proceed with my name change. She’s very communicative every step of the way, and we felt like we were in good hands. Kristin is an experienced officiant, and a pleasure to work with!

    We could not have asked for anyone better!

    This review is so incredibly long overdue (we got married 5/20/2022), but absolutely wanted to take the time to give Kristin the recognition she deserves! Our ceremony was absolutely perfect in every way, we could not have asked for a better officiant than Kristin. We felt very comfortable with her from the beginning and her whole process is very easy and stress free. We loved the templates she offered and also love that she offers a completely personalized option. Even though we went with one her templates, we still felt it properly captured how we feel about marriage and love, it felt very personal to us and it was written beautifully. We were still able to say our own written vows and it flowed so well with her script. Communication was very clear and easy, she never made us feel any sort of stress which was so appreciated. We feel very lucky that Kristin was the person to marry us and we would absolutely recommend her to anyone and everyone!

    The best around - thankyou!

    Kristin was the celebrant of our wedding, and we couldn’t have wished for a friendlier, warmer, funnier, more professional or heartfelt person to perform our ceremony!

    Kristin was able to make plans at short notice, and be incredibly flexible - even though we were doing a small wedding with just the two of us, and a relatively short ceremony, she went absolutely above and beyond, not only suggesting potential beach spots where we could get married, but then offering to travel from Ventura down to Point Dume to perform our small ceremony, rather than asking us to go to her location instead, like all the other celebrants we had tried!

    She delivered a lovely service against the backdrop of the ocean and the sunset that was truly perfect, and was so friendly throughout that we ended up inviting her to our small wedding dinner after - and we would now have no hesitation in thinking of her as a good friend!

    Thankyou again so much Kristin, you made our day truly special and we couldn’t have done it without you!

    Get married by Kristin!

    My husband I were just married by Kristin, and I would recommend her to anybody! Throughout the entire process - of searching for an officiant, hiring, discussing what we wanted out of our ceremony, composing a script, performing the ceremony, and filing the paperwork - Kristin was exceptional! Not only was she professional and kind, but her knowledge of the marriage process in California was plain as day. She helpfully gives guidelines on how the process works, and provided instructions on post-wedding tasks (i.e., name changes, etc.). I highly recommend hiring Kristin and Seaside Ceremonies for your elopement/wedding!

    Awesome officiant!! A+

    Kristin was an excellent officiant. From start to finish she was knowledgeable, professional and pleasant to work with. She had answers to all our questions and definitely knows her stuff! I did some shopping around and her pricing was in line with others and actually on the lower end of the spectrum.

    Diaz / Amadeo Wedding 9.22.21

    This summer we Googled Officiants and after contacting a few our search ended once we came across Kirsten. She loves what she does and it comes across in her custom written ceremonies…. And even more in her interactions with us the customers. She is beautiful and charming and you would be wise to hire her.
    Her pricing should be higher for the level of service she provides. She also offers referrals or a list of trusted vendors of which we also had fantastic results from. Thank God we found this lovely caring professional.

    Professional and Personable

    We couldn’t have asked for a better officiant than Kristin. We originally booked her for a 100-person wedding in Santa Paula, which became a 14-person backyard wedding in Lancaster thanks to Covid. She rolled with the punches and helped us figure out the marriage license situation, as well as changing our ceremony to be more appropriate for the more intimate setting. She has been a true professional from the start, but also incredibly warm and easy to talk to. She is a great speaker and made our ceremony something to truly remember. Even her short and sweet ceremony used just the right words that complemented our personal vows. We cannot wait to work with her again for our original plans; I’m certain she’ll make our vow renewal next year feel just as special.

    Kristin is Awesome

    We eloped in Channel Islands National Park, and Kristin was more than willing to tag along with us for the day to officiate our ceremony. Not to mention, she helped out anyway she could along the way as we were taking photos throughout the island. Her ceremony was beautiful and exactly what we wanted. Definitely recommend her services!

    Amazing officiant & highly recommend

    We had an amazing experience with Kristin as our officiant. Throughout the process, Kristin was both kind and professional and made it all very easy. Kristin created a ceremony that was personal and touching, and perfectly explained our relationship and why we are marrying each other. We've had so many family and friends reach out to us to let us know how beautiful the ceremony was and we're so glad that Kristin was a part of our day!

    Awesome officiant

    Kristin is an amazing officiant, she created a incredible and personalized ceremony for our wedding. Kristin is very professional, flexible and knowledgeable. We had a destination wedding in CA, she walked us through the process of obtaining a marriage license in CA. Our ceremony was absolutely beautiful thanks to Kristin.

    Intimate and Calming

    Kristin was wonderful. She gave us just the right amount of guidance for our elopement ceremony and vows, including suggesting a really touching rock ceremony, which fit our park venue and our love of nature perfectly. She was flexible in adjusting the ceremony to our needs and a general joy to be around. 5 stars!

    Kristin gave us the perfect ceremony

    Kristin was wonderful to work with before the wedding, all the way leading up to the wedding and on our actual wedding day. Kristin did a great job writing us a very personal ceremony speech that really expressed our love story for our friends and family. On the actual wedding day, Kristin arrived early and made sure to check in with us to see if we needed anything and that our whole bridal party was all set for the walk down the aisle. During the ceremony, our microphone / speakers were actually malfunctioning a bit but Kristin ended up solving the problem by just projecting loud and clear so that everyone could hear her. After the ceremony, Kristin even helped us wrangle friends and family for pictures while she patiently waited to get a picture with us. Kristin exceeded our expectations and was so professional from start to finish. We can't recommend Kristin enough--thank you to Kristin for making our wedding day all that much more special!
