User1453974 Sent on 11/26/2013Kristine is amazing. She goes out of her way and job description to help when you need it. I don't know how many times I wrote her to ask questions about dresses or decorations and she helped me out so much. She's very nice and very good at what she does. My husband and I had our own ideas on how we wanted our wedding to go and a lot of other officiants wouldn't work with us. Kristine never told us no and always did her best to provide us with what we wanted and the wedding that best fit our relationship. I would certainly recommend her to ANYONE and everyone looking for an officiant and plan on doing so! She is great.Weddings By Kristine's reply:

User1784815 Sent on 08/28/2014She was bout half hour late but other than that she got the ceremony the way we wanted it and was very helpful throughout the planning process.Weddings By Kristine's reply:
I was late--regrettably--due to miscommunication (on my part). I arrived in the parking lot at 3:04. There was not a reserved parking space for the officiant up front, so I had to park towards the back. After arriving, I discovered the ceremony was to start at 3:00. I live approximately 40 miles away from the venue and left my house at 2:00--which would have given me plenty of time--even with the ceremony starting at 3:00. I was stopped at a train and then was behind a farmer on a tractor for most of my time on the highway. Both things out of my control. The ceremony ended up starting around 3:15, as when I arrived, the guests were in the barn and in different areas outside and had not been seated. I waited at the arch until all the guests were seated, then immediately started the ceremony. I repeatedly apologized and also sent a message after the ceremony apologizing again. In my (almost) 3 years of officiating, I had never been late to a rehearsal or ceremony. I travel across the entire state and always allow myself plenty of time. As far as value, I try to keep my fees very affordable and as you know, offer a payment plan to make things even more affordable. I did not charge my usual $25.00 additional travel fee for a ceremony out of my county, as I try to keep my fees low for younger couples just starting out. I feel I am very flexible since I offer a payment plan, I work to create a ceremony and vows that are exactly what my couples want, I am always happy to accommodate changes that may come up, I offer advice and ideas, referrals to other vendors, etc and more--most at no additional charge. I respond back quickly to emails and phone calls. I try really hard to make my couples' day as wonderful as they dream it will be. I appreciate your comments as they help me to improve my services. I want to continue to do my best to make each couples' day exactly as they envision it and am constantly working on ways to improve my services. Thank you for your comments. -
User1786937 Sent on 08/29/2014She was always nice to us and very flexible with our often changing plans. However I felt she was unprepared the day of our rehearsal and was not very personable the day of the wedding. I was imagining our ceremony to be a bit more meaningful .Weddings By Kristine's reply:
It's hard to leave a personal response when someone leaves an anonymous review and you don't know who they are, so I will just respond in general. I am sorry if you feel I was not prepared for your rehearsal. When I conduct a rehearsal, we run through it as many times as the couple feels is necessary. There is NO time limit. I do not leave until the couple says they are happy with the way rehearsal went & that everyone knows their place & what they are to do during the ceremony. I also ask my couple and bridal party if they have any questions, etc. Before I leave, I tell my couple to contact me any time up until the ceremony if they have last minute questions. I charge a very low fee for rehearsals and offer that service so my couples do not have to hire someone and pay hundreds of dollars. Most officiants charge the same fee as the ceremony and planners charge considerably more. I charge half or even less. When I create a ceremony it is sent to every couple for their final approval and the planning goes no further until the couple agrees the ceremony and vows are exactly what they want. I do not stop working on the ceremony/vows until it is exactly as the couple wish. I'm sorry you feel that your ceremony was not memorable. I wish you would have let me know you were not happy at the time. On the ceremony day, it is very hard to be personable with the bride because I usually only see her during the ceremony. I try not to bother the bride before as I know she is busy getting ready, etc. Unfortunately I do not really get to spend time with the couple on the ceremony day because it is so hectic. If the couple does not seek me out for photos with them, or to thank me, then I usually don't even get to talk to them other than to say "thank you and congratulations". This is not because I am not personable, it is because they are very busy afterwards with photos, greeting their guests, etc and I wish to be polite & not intrude on their day. -
User1624400 Sent on 05/19/2014I ordered a birdcage veil and only received part of it was very disappointed. Nobody ever got in contact with me so I had to order another veil with another company but most importantly I had no veil for my wedding pictures.
Weddings By Kristine's reply:
I work very hard at customer satisfaction. As you can see by my other reviews, I have no complaints about my services. Your package was tracked and delivered Wednesday May 14. I did not receive any correspondence from you until several days later on Saturday May 17. Today, Monday May 19, I received a message from you requesting all of a sudden, that I send you a veil in a different color. No mention of wedding photos or ordering a veil from another business, etc. This is nothing but a scam.

Hello,
I'm sending you this email in reference to a order I placed. I received the beautiful brooch but the netted part of the birdcage was missing. I would greatly appreciate it if you would send the missing netted part asap. This is my third time trying to make contact with your company to resolve this matter in a timely matter. So if you can give me a reply asap it would appreciated.
Thanks!
Trinicia,
I apologize for not responding earlier today, but I have been out of town all day and evening for a wedding. I just got in and checked my messages. It is Saturday and not a normal working business day for my bridal accessory company, but I wanted to let you know I did see your messages tonight. I only see two messages from you. One this morning sent through the contact form at 7:37 a.m. and this message from you, sent this evening. Your tracking number is showing your order was delivered Wednesday at 6:00 p.m. I have already sent a message to my supplier to let them know you were missing the veil. They don't open up until Monday morning, so I will hear back from them at that time. I will let you know asap as soon as I know when your veil will go out. I am very sorry!
Thank you for your understanding and patience,
Kristine
