    So elegant and special!

    Christobel was the perfect addition to our wedding ceremony. First, she is just the most darling person you'll ever meet! Second, her accent is charming! And, third, the ceremony she crafted for us was so perfectly suitable to us as a couple. Everyone cried, groom and bride included. We highly recommend Christobel for all your wedding officiating needs! She's a pleasure!

    Our wedding was this past Sunday Sept 17th and let me tell you Christobel made it unforgettable. From the moment we talked to her on the phone we knew she was the perfect fit for us. Christobel treated us like family; she opened up her home to us on several occasions to go over our ceremony. We were even able to bring our daughter to these meeting and Christobel's sweet dog Charleston kept her busy for us. The day of the ceremony went perfectly everyone was talking about how great she was and what a wonderful and unique ceremony we had. If it weren't for Christobel we would not have had the ceremony of our dreams. Christobel is so easy to talk to and is the type of person you want to keep as a friend forever. She can help any couple pick the perfect vows even if you have no idea what you are wanting at first. Christobel has it all and she will not disappoint!!

    Christobel was a lovely person to work with. Our wedding took place on July 8, 2017. I live in Phoenix and I decided to have a destination wedding in San Antonio because all of my family lives in Texas. I found Christobel after reading reviews on the knot and wedding wire. I called her one evening around 6pm CST without realizing what time it was in Texas. Without hesitation, Christobel took the time to get to know me and learn more about my fiancé during that call. She also read me a few of the different ceremonies she offers. They were all beautiful and well written. I even teared up as she read them. The day of the wedding, Christobel spent some time with the groomsmen and they loved her! She has a great sense of humor. Overall, she is the sweetest person and our ceremony turned out beautiful. Thank you Christobel!

    We were so fortunate to have picked Christobel out of what seemed like a sea of officiants! She is definitely one of a kind and you will not regret picking her for your special day. From all of the weddings I've been to, you're lucky if you get an officiant who doesn't drag on with bible verses and offers the wedding attendants an occasional laugh. With Christobel, you don't need jokes to make the service bearable, it is short and filled with the most beautiful words you will ever hear. Christobel has definitely done her research, bringing together heart-warming and passionate words from all over the world and from every era. She gives you plenty of service options to pick from, and I promise picking your favorites will be the hardest part about working with her!! Make sure to take the time to meet her before the ceremony, I promise it is worth it and her gigantic rottweiler Charleston is absolutely precious. She makes you feel so special and treats your wedding vows as what they are-- the most important words you will ever say and hear. She is also very flexible! We had pouring rain start 30 minutes before the ceremony, and while we were slightly off schedule, she was totally open to doing the ceremony in the wet grass last minute when the clouds parted, and she would have done it inside as well if that's what we had decided on. While everyone loved the ceremony and said that it was "absolutely beautiful," most of the words I heard about her from friends and family were, and I quote verbatim, "I LOVE her!" She was an excellent presence and you will see what I mean the second you speak on the phone with her! That all being said, I hope we will remain in touch with her throughout our years, because she really is just a wonderful person and exactly who I feel we deserved to help us claim our love as ever-lasting. We adore her!

    Christabel is professional and the wedding ceremony was perfect. Her message was wonderful and was appreciated by everyone attending. Our son and his wife chose wisely when asking Christabel to perform their wedding ceremony.

    From the moment that we met Christobel, we knew that she was the perfect person to marry us. She is so full of joy and she loves what she does - oh, and her accent is amazing! When we first met, she shared some options for our ceremony and we loved them all. We were looking for something that had a traditional feel, but we also wanted it to be relaxed and heartfelt. Christobel is so eloquent with her words and as she read the ceremony options to us, my fiancé even started to tear up! We knew right then and there that Christobel would be our officiant. Leading up to our day, Christobel was always available to answer any questions we had! On the day of, she arrived early and was so cheerful - she even gave some of our rowdy groomsmen a hard time and they INSTANTLY fell in love with her - it was fantastic! Andrew and I are so glad that we chose Christobel to be a part of our day - we couldn't have dreamed of a more perfect officiant!

    If you are in search for an officiant please stop searching and choose Christobel. I don't even know where to begin with just how amazing she is. She is so flexible with EVERYTHING. She truly cares about you and understands that this is your day and does everything to make it as easy as possible. She let us customize our own ceremony and her words are just so heartfelt and beautiful. We got married on 2/4/17 and I still have people commenting on how our ceremony was the best ceremony that they have ever gone too. She made everyone cry and really set the mood into our reception.

    Side note: My wife and I originally planned on going with another officiant before we had the chance to meet Christobel and I wont mention any names but she treated us so horrible and wanted to charge so many fees that were never discussed. She had to cancel and reschedule us twice before we even initially met her and Instead of making it about my wife and I she made it all business and money. We ended up changing our mind on her and that is when we got the pleasure to meet Christobel and when I explained this to Christobel she almost got into tears just because she felt for my wife and I.

    I am so glad and happy things turned out the way they did just because not only did we have a beautiful ceremony but my wife and I have made a friend for a lifetime and we couldn't be happier.

    Lastly, if you are looking for a genuine person, a person that loves her job, and a person that will make the best day of your life so memorable you HAVE to go with her.

    Thank you Christobel. Jessica and I love you and wish you the best in your future! I know you will do great because you're hands down the best person we have ever met. Stay the energizing bunny that you are :)

    Christobel brought wedding magic to our planning process from the first call until we were signing our certificate and she was mailing it off. She was a joy to work with and offered so many different ceremonies that she customized perfectly for us. She goes above and beyond to make sure your comfortable and in love with your ceremony. Highly recommend!!!

    Christobel is a wonderful and professional officiant! We received SO many compliments about how she conducted ceremony and spoke oh so eloquently. She is very welcoming and we met her at her house for a consultation and once again to go over the ceremony details. We were able to pick and choose what we wanted in our ceremony and she was very accommodating with wording and order. I even called her a couple of weeks beforehand to change wording on one of the traditions we had included (arras) and she reassured me by phone and by a follow up email that it will be taken care of. She is quick to respond to emails and has many suggestions and is open to yours as well. I will forever recommend her.

    If you are looking to have unique and personalized wedding, Christobel is the one. She is extremely professional and so loving. We received so many compliments during the reception and even days later about how beautiful the words were. She was the only officiant we spoke with that was able to customize an entire wedding ceremony. She knew so many vendors and we were able to get an honest opinion about them from her. Christobel has an amazing dog, Charleston, (when you set up a consultation, its a MUST to do it at her place so you can meet him). My husband and I knew if we didn't book Christobel we would have regrets later on and we are so happy with our decision. Christobel put into words the feelings we had for each other in ways we couldn't and was very open to us changing or adding anything in. If I could do it all over again and only pick one thing that had to remain the same, it would be Christobel.

    Christobel is a phenomenal officiant! She did a marvelous job of capturing the emotion of our wedding ceremony in an eloquent way that only she can deliver. She really knows how to get the tears flowing and form unforgettable memories. 5 stars for her!

    Christobel is the best officiant ever! I was an out of town bride, and never did this cause any hiccups or delays in getting questions answered or making payments, etc. Christobel is such a sweet person, she was there for us 100% and every single step of the way! Christobel is extremely knowledgeable, organized, and helpful! I received numerous compliments on Christobel's services, especially because of her "to die for" British accent; it just adds an extraordinary romantic feel to the ceremony! If you have the opportunity to meet, or speak with, Christobel - do it! Do it now! You will not regret it, she is simply amazing and tailors everything to your needs! A+++ in my book, and definitely recommend her!

    Christobel is absolutely wonderful! I was an out of town bride (1800 miles out of town to be exact) and Christobel took care of me like I was a local bride! She is so incredibly kind and she really takes the time to get to know you to craft the perfect ceremony. The ceremony she created for my husband and I made me cry so many tears of joy..it was just SO beautiful. And on top of her talent, Christobel is just an amazing human being. After the ceremony, so many people came up to me to tell me that they loved Christobel as a person and an officiant. She is also a wonderful source for a good laugh :) I cannot recommend her enough. If I could give her 20 gold stars, I would! Thank you, Christobel for giving me the best wedding ever!

    Christobel is phenomenal at what she does! My husband and I met with her and only her. From the start, her energy, enthusiasm and professionalism showed through and we had no doubt in our decision. Even with all the beautiful options she gave us, we were all able to find the words that fit us perfectly. She also kept us updated through the whole process, all the way up to the big day. My husband and I are so grateful we found someone who was as happy and passionate about our wedding as we were and we received many compliments about our ceremony. She is completely devoted to making your ceremony special, her services are worth it. Thank you Christobel!

    WE LOVE CHRISTOBEL! I was worried about finding someone that my fiancé and I were going to be comfortable with. I was completely prepared to go through this long search and settling on some stranger that more or less respected our views and wishes of how we want our wedding to be. Christobel was the FIRST and LAST person we had to meet with! We felt right at home as soon as we met her. She's hilarious and wild, the way that I feel John and I are, and she is SO respectful. She has created a beautiful and unique ceremony that fits us exactly AND she included our baby girl in it, which was so important to us. Thank you Christobel! We are so lucky to have you!

    When planning my daughter's wedding, we wanted nothing but the best for her special day. Christobel was highly recommended by not one, but several top vendors in and around San Antonio. Some of them said she married their family members, so that made me feel good about the decision. After meeting her in her home, she quickly made my daughter and her fiance feel comfortable in knowing their wedding would be everything they dreamed of. She put together the most beautiful ceremony that was personal, unique, and more than we could have ever imagined. If needing an officiant, I would look no further. You will not be disappointed!!

    Christobel was absolutely amazing! From the first time I talked to her, I knew she was the one I needed to officiate my wedding. Her work is amazingly beautiful, and she makes your ceremony feel special. She also goes above and beyond when working with you. She gives advice and is extremely helpful through the entire process. She also has great communication skills, and she was constantly keeping me updated. I loved working with Christobel, and I'm going to miss her!

    Christobel was amazing! From the moment I met her she was ready and willing to help put together the perfect ceramony for me and my now husband! If I had any questions I knew she would be there to answer them. When it was time for my wedding Coordinator to come into the picture Christobel had no problem working with her. Our wedding day was one to remeber! I loved being able to work with her to put together everything in a way that represented us and our life. I was so happy with the way everything turned out and would definitely recommend her.

    Cristobel was the best officiant we could have ever had. She is very passionate about her job, and brought the right amount of energy into our wedding that was needed. She was also very helpful with vendor recommendations as she helped us find a photographer close to last minute who turned out to be great! She has plenty of different options as far as the ceremony, to choose from, and each are beautiful and very original, which I think made our ceremony better because it matched our personalities, rather than just having someone read the usual format out of a book. She has a very fair price for her services and is totally worth it. I would recommend her to anyone and everyone! My husband and I are happy to of had her perform our ceremony for us on one of the most important days of our lives. :)

    Christobel made our ceremony so personalized and special!! We did not want to same routine ceremony so she worked with us to get our ceremony exactly how we wanted it. She went above and beyond to make sure our vows were perfect! I received so many compliments on the ceremony and how Christobel executed it. The words brought grown men to tears! It was PERFECT and definitely one of a kind. We could not have been any happier with Christobel. She was amazing!!!!! She will always hold a special place in our hearts for performing our ceremony and being such a wonderful person to work with.

    We originally booked another officiant who was hired based upon the contingency that he would facilitate our rehearsal. Three days before the rehearsal he called to say he booked a wedding that day and wanted us to move our rehearsal up by two days. Despite numerous conversations, he was unwavering. I reached out to Christobel in the slim chance she was available. To my shock, she was!

    We had called a year prior but had been booked, the couple cancelled and we happily booked her. Christobel invited us to her house where she reassured us, demonstrated her services, got to know us, and tailored her service to reflect exactly what we wanted on our special day.

    Christobel was punctual, professional, genuine, and patient. Christobel was detail oriented and made our day so incredible special. She brought her own supplies and met with the groomsmen and bridal party prior to the wedding, day of. After the wedding we had friends and family approach us for weeks afterwards to tell us how wonderful the wedding was, and how amazing our officiant was. We are eternally grateful to Christobel for making our day so incredibly special, in a way no other officiant could.

    Christobel was one of the best vendors at our wedding. Throughout the process, she was very responsive, paid attention to all of our needs, and stayed in touch to make sure that our ceremony was the way we wanted. My husband and I could not believe how amazing all of her ceremony scripts were, and she created most of them. All of her ceremonies are customizable, we added "the presentation of the roses to the mothers" and it was beautiful, our mothers and guests loved the gesture. Her prices are a little bit higher than the average officiant in San Antonio, and although I was very budget conscious at the beginning of the wedding planning, I realized after the first phone consultation the difference between her and other officiants I had been talking to. As she told me over the phone, you really get what you pay for, and we are really happy that we spent a little bit more because it was worth it! Even now after the ceremony passed, she emailed me and sent us our marriage certificate in a frame over mail. If you are looking for someone who is committed and passionate about her work, then look no further because she will make sure that your wedding ceremony is beautiful and perfect!

    Christobel did a wonderful job officiating our ceremony. She was very warm and very easy to understand. We received many compliments about the meaningfulness of the words spoken. She helped calm our nerves and guide us through it with her beautiful words. Thank you so much for making the most important part of our day so special and memorable!!!
