    Chris is fantastic

    Christopher married us 10.07.22 at Grand Tradition. Our venue recommends Vows From the Heart. We loved his personality and our guest did too! He did a fabulous job giving us a Christian-based ceremony. He was funny, serious, and enjoyable all that we wanted! So happy Christopher was a part of our wedding. I loved that we were able to customize our ceremony by choosing prayers, readings, and special messages for our marriage. We also did our own vows which was special to us. Book Vows From the Heart, you will be happy that you did.

    Vows From The Heart - Rev. Christopher Tuttle & Chaplain Mary Cyr's reply:

    Thank you Krystalynn!! It was my honor to have been asked to share in the magic of your day. You and Kevin are an awesome couple and you both have an awesome group of family and friends... I wish you both a lifetime of love and happiness!

    Perfection!!!! We had a great experience with Vows From the Heart!

    We chose Vows From The Heart to officiate our wedding and our officiant was Christopher and we had a really great experience - from the first conversation to the day of our wedding! One of the main reasons we decided to choose Christopher is because he is 100% transparent from the beginning. In our first phone call, he described what he does, what the process is like, and how involved he will be in the process. What I really liked about him too is that there's no pressure from him at all! In fact, he encourages you to speak to a couple officiants before deciding - because he's that genuine, and I really appreciated that about him so we booked him that same weekend! 
    Once we booked him, he provided us with a Ceremony Handbook where you can customize your ceremony and make selections about the type of wedding ceremony you want (e.g. spiritual, non-spiritual), any acts of celebrations you want to include, how you want to be presented, and more. You can even submit your selections online, which was a nice option to have! 
    I have to say - we initially planned to write our own vows but got too busy and didn't have enough time after all so we asked Christopher literally 2 days before our wedding if we could use a traditional vow (i.e. repeat after me style) instead and he was able to make that change for us- even last minute, which we were so relieved to hear! 
    On the day of our wedding, Christopher was great! He checked in our us before the ceremony and made sure everything was smooth...and he did an AWESOME job! Everyone really liked him and you can tell he's a professional at this. For example, I noticed that he moved out of the way at certain times during the ceremony (e.g. the kiss) so that the photographer could get a good photo! I mean, he just nailed it to perfection! He made the ceremony very warm, inviting, and fun. He made the crowd laugh and cry while keeping everyone engaged throughout the ceremony!
    With all this said, I highly recommend using Vows From The Heart as your officiant for your wedding! They will not disappoint!

    Calms the nerves

    Thank you for making my day feel special and unique. Rev Chris did a Skype call with my husband and I prior to booking so we could be sure he was the right fit. From start to finish he made everything seem so comfortable! Thanks

    Sunset Elopement Overlooking the Ocean

    I'm very glad I chose these kind people for our elopement. From my initial correspondence through even my follow up questions after our wedding day, they were amazing and quick to assist in any way they could. Though not always possible, they arrived at our public elopement site early to secure the area for our use. That was very appreciated! Thank you for performing our beautiful sunset wedding overlooking the ocean!

    Reverend Christopher was everything we needed!

    I cannot say enough positive words about Rev. Christopher! Our journey was quite unique as my husband's father passed away 3 days prior to our first wedding date. Rev. was there with us every step of the way! From prayers when we needed it to the re-schedule he was a god send... literally. Our ceremony was exactly as we envisioned, he really asks you what YOU want and designs the ceremony around that. Look no further, truly.

    Thank you so very much for the kind words. It was such an honor to have been asked to share in the magic of your day!

    Rev. Tuttle, thanks for sharing our special day with us. You were such an amazing person. You made everything so easy. We felt confident from day one, and you never let us down. You hold the bar high and stick to what we asked for. Thanks for making the wedding fun, special, exciting, emotional, and overall BEAUTIFUL! We wish we could get married again and again just to hear you speak all those amazing words you told on our day. It was such a pleasure having you at our wedding. I have some pictures I will send you, of us! If I had any advice for other brides it would be.....CHOOSE REV. TUTTLE! thanks again! :)

    Elope to Oceanside

    We wanted a small intimate wedding, even if it was just the two of us. We love the ocean and it has been out place since the beginning. So naturally when we decided to elope, and took Vegas off the table, we searched for a place to get married on the beach. Elope to Oceanside was so easy, friendly, and beyond helpful. We're from Arizona and unfamiliar with the laws of California. The wedding was absolutely beautiful and I can't say enough about Reverend Christopher. He made it feel like he knew us forever. Or family couldn't say enough about how perfect his words were. Thank you so much for making this an amazing day.

    Vows From The Heart - Rev. Christopher Tuttle & Chaplain Mary Cyr's reply:

    Thank you for asking us to share in the magic! Even with a few little logistic issues in the beginning and at the last minute, the location turned out to be perfect for you, your family and your friends. Most important, the rains held off. and we wish you a lifetime of love and happiness....

    Highly recommended

    It was a little hard for me to pick the right officiant. I am a preacher's daughter and I wanted somebody that will deliver the message as I wanted. When we met with Rev. Mary we knew we wanted her to marry us. She did such a great job. It was everything f I ever wanted. She was very prepared in having tissue and even mints. I highly recommend Vows from the heart ❤❤

    Great people, wonderful service

    Finding our officiant was the last vendor we had to look for. I guess we put it off for so long, because we didn't really know who to look for or where to start. I found Vows from the Heart and read great reviews, which lead us to meeting with them. Let me just add - even before the meeting, we looked at their website which provides helpful hints, tips, and a guide to finding an officiant for your wedding! This alone helped us so much and I wish I had come across their website earlier!
    We met with Chaplain Mary for a 30-minute meeting and everything felt so right that we didn't want to look or meet with anyone else! She is incredibly warm and welcoming, and made the whole process so comfortable for us!
    The wedding ceremony went so smoothly and everything she said she would do to help us (and wouldn't do - meaning, no awkward moments, weird silence, or anything else) was just as she had said during our initial meeting. Chaplain Mary respected each desire and want we asked for to be included in the ceremony and added her sweet touches to make it feel unscripted and natural. A lot of our guests complimented how beautiful the ceremony was.
    We can't thank you enough, Chaplain Mary!

    Rev. Christopher Tuttle is sweet & a true professional!

    We are so honored to have had Rev. Chris officiate our wedding. He was so reassuring and followed up with us before the big day to assure us that he was readily available for us if we had any questions or concerns. Rev. Chris was not only organized and professional (as he's done hundreds, if not, a thousand weddings!?), but he has a warm and lighthearted spirit that put us at ease when there are so many things to worry about when planning a wedding. He provided us with all the information we needed in regards to creating a personalized ceremony, without it being too difficult to understand or even needing to do any kind of research on our own! He truly created a beautiful ceremony for us and we are forever grateful.

    I'm so happy the two of you found the moment as special as I had hoped it would. It was an honor to have shared in the magic and can't thank you enough for selecting me for this honor. I wish you both a lifetime of Love and Happiness!

    Personal and Perfect

    Hiring Chaplain Mary based on a recommendation by our coordinator to officiate our wedding was the best decision. She made the most important part of our wedding, the ceremony, special, memorable, and deeply moving. Though we only met in person once before the actual ceremony, it was enough for us to really feel a connection with her, and that made it feel really special. I would recommend anyone I care about hire Chaplain Mary or Rev. Christopher to officiate their wedding, as they bring a deep, professional expertise to the event. Being able to customize our ceremony to fit our beliefs and values without having to comb through the thousands of options there are online made the process so simple. She kept us on track, and the whole event went off without a hitch. Thank you, Chaplain Mary, for making our day so special.

    My husband and I were lucky to have the opportunity to go through the special Military Monday. I had an absolutely beautiful experience. Rev. Christopher was very sweet and had a great since of humor. He made me feel very welcomed and relaxed. We were blessed enough to have flowers dontated by Mustardseed Floral! And the amazing Kimberly with Lavish Lark photography captured our beautiful day. The venue was at Bali Hai restaurant; it was more beautiful than expected. I am so grateful for Rev. Christopher and Chaplain Mary! I had a wounderful and beautiful experience. This will forever be the best day of our lives and our favorite memory.

    Perfect Wedding Ceremony!

    Rev. Christopher Tuttle made our wedding ceremony so special! He conducted a non-denominational ceremony and had us tailor everything so it was specifically ours. He made the process so easy for us! Our wedding guests kept asking how long we had known Rev. Tuttle by the way he spoke during the ceremony. He never read straight off his pages and always looked at us or the audience. I could not have asked for a more perfect wedding ceremony!

    Rev Christopher and Mary;
    Thank you both for making our “bucket list wish” come true.
    We will cherish our memories of a beautiful, blessed day. And, of course, braiding the cord.
    The rememberance bottle is a great memento of our special day.

    Mary was so great to work with. Due to our situation it was tough for us to meet in person, but she was very accommodating about speaking via Skype. She led us through the planning and provided many examples to help us refine exactly how we wanted our ceremony to be, and she took extra time to understand what we wanted. Logistically we didn't need to worry about microphones or anything. She took care of it all with our DJ. After the ceremony we got a lot of compliments saying our ceremony was beautiful and that Mary did a great job - all credit to her! We highly recommend Mary to anyone!

    Reverend Chris and his wife Mary were beyond amazing!!! I had reached out to Chris a few weeks ago in regards to their philanthropic “Military Mondays” and Chris and his wife Mary went above our wildest expectations and gave us the most perfect elopement ceremony. We feel beyond blessed to have had Chris marry us. The day was perfect and I truly cannot imagine a more perfect officiant than Rev Chris. He is light-hearted and easy to talk to! I highly recommend. 10/10 stars. Easily!

    We got married at Oceanside and Chaplain Mary was our officiant. Chris & Mary welcomed us and made us feel at ease right from the beginning. I promised myself I wouldn’t cry during the ceremony but all of Mary’s beautiful words got me. Luckily she had a napkin for me to fix my face lol. Kimberly was our photographer alongside Chris and they were so kind to us. The most sincere and loving people. Thank you so much for such a beautiful day that we will never forget

    Highly recommend Vows from the Heart and Rev. Chris. He gave us the exact ceremony experience we were looking for and made all our guests feel comfortable. His delivery was genuine with a voice made for radio. He was even able to ad lib at just the right times. Overall we couldn't have asked for a more professional and personable officiant.

    Chris and I could not have asked for a better officiant to tie the knot for us on the most special day of our lives! Reverand Tuttle, you truly set the most appropriate mood for our wedding starting with the ceremony. It was the perfect blend of sincerity, candidness, love and humor that will forever be remembered by our closest family and friends. Not to mention, working with Rev. Tuttle was a breathe of fresh air from start to finish! One thing I truly appreciated about him was that it was not scripted or too stiff and formal. He saw that when I was a little emotional once my father gave me away and when I took Chris’ hands, he paused for a moment to offer his handkerchief and let Chris and I hug it out.. it was exactly what I needed in that moment and he knew it! I will recommend Rev. Tuttle to all of my soon to be brides! It was one of the best decisions I made for my wedding! Thank you from the bottom of my heart!

    Rev Chris married us during our San Diego vacation right on Coronado Island. It was a planned elopement with just my husband and his kids. Rev Chris made it the perfect wedding. It was as if he knew us forever. The best part was how stress free and organized he made the whole process especially with us being from across the country!

    Vows From The Heart - Rev. Christopher Tuttle & Chaplain Mary Cyr's reply:

    It was such an honor to have shared in the magic of unity and family. Wishing you a lifetime of love and happiness.
