    Highly complimented ceremony!

    Katrina is awesome! She is super easy to work with and was very communicative in the months leading up to our wedding. She has an extensive cache of ceremony materials she's collected, which made it super easy for us to shape our ceremony just how we wanted it. Several of our guests commented on how moving the ceremony was, despite the fact that we didn't include any religious texts or traditional readings - it was all because Katrina is a great writer and came super prepared! We can't recommend her enough!

    Katrina is AMAZING!

    only is she an incredible officiant but also just an incredible person. Katrina walked us through the process of our ceremony so seamlessly and we got to pick just about whatever we wanted to make our ceremony our own. Katrina met with us, listened to us and the history of our relationship and created the most beautiful story that we will cherish forever. Our guests wouldn’t stop telling us how much they absolutely loved the ceremony and just how heartfelt and touching it was. Katrina cultivated such emotion and love that we will cherish forever. She really made our wedding day one to never forget!

    Amazing. Simply put.

    Katrina is amazing. Simply put. She gave us all the resources to design our ceremony and then met with us in person to talk about our story. This was so special. We really got to know Katrina and reflect on our relationship. After this hour long meeting she spent about 10 minutes and put together a rough draft of how she would tell our story. It was amazing- to see her put together something so quickly. After this meeting she gave us a rough draft of the whole ceremony and we could read through it. She was able to convey our story in such a special way. She was a great resource for how we wanted to make our ceremony experience. This was my favorite part of our wedding day! I cannot recommend her enough.

    Comfortable, easy

    Katrina was the perfect fit for our intimate wedding ceremony! We live about 5 hours from Austin so we met with her via zoom to discuss how we wanted our wedding to look and feel. She helped us to customize our ceremony so that it was a perfect representation of our relationship!

    Personalized experience that left us feeling like we have known Katrina for years! She takes the time to really invest in you as a couple*

    KATRINA!! What can we even say... For Christian and I, you were PERFECT! We are still in awe of the experience we had building our ceremony with you. Your thought provoking, emotion-filled, and individualized approach to creating our wedding ceremonies truly shows you are doing what you should be doing in this life. You are a gift!

    Regardless of the type of ceremony requested, you are so open and honest about how to create the memory and moment the couple is requesting. You managed my extrovert personality and Christian's introvert, bringing out who we really are so that our families and friends could recognize the deep love and respect we have for one another. We felt seen on the most important day of our lives as a couple. We thank you for this!

    Spoken Heart Ceremonies with Katrina Baecht's reply:

    Christian & Carrie---I cannot thank you enough for these kind words. It brought tears to my eyes! I am passionate about what I do and when I'm able to convey that to my couples---well, it's the best feeling in the world! Thank you, again!

    Perfect Match

    From the moment we met Katrina, we knew she’d be the one to marry us; it just felt right.

    Katrina knew exactly how to get us to open up and discuss our love for each other and how we want the ceremony to run. Her documents were super helpful and she worked with our family to get a surprise reading in the mix.

    Everything about working with Katrina was seamless and she really listened to us. Her ability to write our love story working a matter of minutes - and be spot on - was an incredible experience.

    Katrina even went above & beyond on the day to ensure a sentimental piece (that was out of her scope) was done properly.

    Hands down the best officiant we could have asked for. 5 stars!!

    Spoken Heart Ceremonies with Katrina Baecht's reply:

    Kristan--thank you so much for the kind words! It means the world to me! I am so happy I was able to tell your story & help everything go smoothly. Seeing the joy on your faces was incredible!

    Katrina was fantastic!

    Katrina is a lovely person and did a wonderful job! Before picking her as our wedding officiant she met with us over video call and talked through what we might want our ceremony to look like. She was always prompt and responsive in our communications. The way she crafts the ceremony is very organized and guided, and this reduced stress. For both the rehearsal and ceremony she arrived early and ensured things ran smoothly. She even helped with pinning boutonnieres on jackets!

    We loved the ceremony, and our wedding guests thought it was sweet and that Katrina did a fantastic job. We'd love to work with her again if we renewed our vows and we recommend her to friends.

    She's a hero

    Hey World!

    My wife and I were at a loss in terms of what our actual ceremony and vows should be. Katrina was able to walk us a through her strategies for writing ceremonies and she created something truly beautiful and unique to us. We cannot understate how much Katrina's experience & talent meant to us. She learned our history as a couple (warts and all) and wrote our story in a way that was amazing when read aloud at the ceremony but that wasn't the 1/2 of it. Her story of our relationship was therapeutic and a gift we'll have and cherish forever.
    We recommend everyone use Katrina for their wedding. She's worth twice what she charges. Let your friends and family give a toast, but put the ceremony in the hands of a professional.

    Flexible, Fun, & Respectful

    We used Katrina for a last minute elopement and she was great - flexible, communicative, supportive, and really made the ceremony what we wanted (which was non-traditional). She really seemed to care and guide us through the process.

    100% Reccommend

    I heard about her from a friend and so glad I went with her. I love that we were able to personalize our ceremony and vows. She was very helpful with the process after the ceremony (advice on getting official copies of marriage license, etc...). She also sent a physical copy of our vows as a keepsake as well as an anniversary ceremony/vows for future use. She goes above and beyond!

    Tremendous officiant

    Katrina (Spoken Heart Ceremonies) did an absolutely incredible job as our officiant. Our ceremony absolutely perfect. We could not have been happier with the ceremony she helped us build, which was very much our own and reflected who we are as a couple, while also being official and professional. We have received more compliments about our ceremony than any other part of our wedding, and hiring Katrina was the single best choice we made while planning it. We literally cannot recommend Katrina highly enough and will be forever grateful to her for helping to make our wedding ceremony perfect.

    Beautiful and personal ceremony!

    Katrina is an amazing officiant! She was able to take our poorly told love story and turn it into a beautiful and moving ceremony. Guests loved to tell us after how beautiful the ceremony was and how wonderful Katrina was. Katrina made the whole process very personal for the both of us - and even recommended we do the wine box ceremony - that we can't wait to incorporate into our anniversary every year.

    The most special elopement

    Working with Katrina was incredibly easy, and we felt connected to her from the moment we met her in our intro call. She is warm and kind, and she knows exactly what she is doing. We had to change our elopement location multiple times in 24 hours prior to our scheduled time with Katrina due to an ice storm, and she was incredibly flexible and easy to work with. The ceremony itself was absolutely perfect - better than we could have imagined, and Katrina made that possible.

    The best Officiant!!

    Katrina was an absolutely amazing Officiant!! We could not have asked for a better Officiant for our big day. We really appreciated her time and writing skills to create such an elegant and personalized ceremony. She was very easy to work with and we 1000% recommend her!

    Katrina saves the day!

    Weddings come in all shapes and sizes, and our tiny last minute elopement was the smallest of all. Katrina was so responsive and helped us craft a gorgeous ceremony with basically no notice. She's a true professional with a kind heart. She's the exact type of person you want guiding you and your fiance into a joyful marriage. Thank you Katrina!

I can not tell you how many compliments I received from guests saying how much they loved our wedding ceremony!! She was able to engage all guests and really create emotion in the room. She was so responsive and informative on everything we needed to do to leading up to the ceremony. Katrina is truly incredible and is a must book!! We lucked out on having such a fantastic Officiant.

    Kind, Patient, Caring, Amazing

    I am so thankful that we decided to book with Katrina. She was not only more thorough and prepared than anyone else I had talked to, she was also more patient with us. We were booking for a wedding that would happen within 2 months, but she came prepared with tools to help us write a beautiful script and even checked in when I forgot to send a part to her THE NIGHT BEFORE! Eek.

    It was so helpful to also be surrounded by people who had been to our venue and could guide us through the process.

    Thank you Katrina for being so wonderful, patient, caring, and helping us capture moments that we didn't even think of, but now cherish.

    Beautiful ceremony!

    Working with Katrina was such an amazing experience! We knew we wanted to work with someone who be able to speak to who we are and the love that we share. My husband and I are not religious and we had hesitations about how we'd be able to craft a special ceremony without the presence of religion. Katrina eased our concerns right away and provided so much guidance by sharing options for readings, poems and ceremonies we could include. She wrote the most beautiful ceremony and delivered it with such ease - as if she had known us forever. Many friends and family members noted that the ceremony just felt like "us" and that it felt so special and unique. We couldn't recommend Katrina enough!

    If Katrina is available for your date, book her! You wont regret it!

    I cannot recommend Katrina & Spoken heart Ceremonies enough. To start with Katrina is so talented at what she does. Our ceremony exceeded all of our hopes and expectations. Our family members still talk about how great the ceremony was. There was not a dry eye in sight, and that is not an exaggeration. Our guests were gushing about our ceremony for weeks after the wedding.

    Katrina is incredibly flexible and will be involved as much or as little as you want in creating your wedding ceremony. She was always willing to meet with us, as many times as we needed to get our ceremony the way we wanted it. She helped us with our vows and she captured our story so perfectly. Despite never having met Katrina in real life prior to the ceremony she was able to make our ceremony so special and personal to us. It was perfect and exactly what we wanted. She truly has a gift for bringing stories to life!

    Additionally she is very thorough and makes sure to get an understanding of family dynamics, sensitive situations, etc. to make things as comfortable as possible for everyone involved and to relieve any stress on the couple.

    On top of all of that she is one of the sweetest and most thoughtful humans I have met. On our wedding day and the few weeks leading up to our wedding she checked in, calmed our nerves, offered us advice, and provided comfort in getting through the most emotional moments in our life to date.

    I cannot think of a single reason why you shouldn’t book her. If she is available for your wedding date book her, you wont regret it. And if you don’t want to take my word for it set up a meeting with her.

    Beyond amazing

    Katrina is seriously the best officiant and I recommend her to everyone! She guided us through the whole process and had templates for us to use which was so helpful, and she made sure to check in and always offered assistance. On the wedding day she was great at making sure the ceremony started on time and that we were prepared, and we really connected with her during our ceremony. I am so so glad we were lucky enough to find her. Look no further! She is the best.

    One of the best decisions we made!

    Katrina was one of the best decisions we made when it came to choosing vendors for our wedding! We were very overwhelmed about creating our own wedding ceremony, however she made the process simple and easy to follow! She is so sweet and did an amazing job writing "our story." Also, she is willing to work with you to get it just perfect. We highly recommend hiring Katrina as your wedding officiant!
