Chris was absolutely amazing! From the moment we video chatted to meet, to the ceremony & after, he made the entire process so seamless! He took such time getting to know us before the wedding day to make sure our vows were a perfect fit for us. Checked in to let us read over them a few days before the wedding (& they were everything we asked for!) & our families loved him! They all kept saying how we had hit the jackpot finding an officiant as amazing as him & they are absolutely correct. He was so patient with us the day of the wedding & we just can’t thank him enough. Professional, kind, personable. He really felt like a family member. Thank you so much Chris! - Adrianna & Deonte

Where do I begin. Chris was the greatest wedding Officant we could’ve asked for. He had such an amazing sense of humor and he’s exactly what my wife and I were looking for. When my wife and I decided to get married we were looking for a professional wedding Officant that could add some pizzazz to the ceremony. Safe to say everyone loved Chris as the Officant. The great thing about him also is that he was always there when you needed him. He helped write this beautiful speech for the service and anytime you needed him his responses were super quick. We loved having Chris there so much that my family and I asked him to stay for the wedding. Great Officant and even greater person you will not regret hiring him for your wedding

Details: Wedding • Christian • 101 - 150 guests • Help writing vows will not be needed • English • Officiant will not be needed at the rehearsal

Christopher was an amazing officiant for our outdoor wedding. From the first time my wife and I video chatted with him to the wedding, he was so personable. He truly took the time to get to know us both and our relationship and tailored the ceremony to what we wanted. Even after the ceremony we got so many complements that Christopher did an amazing job and really captured who we are as a couple in addition to some lighthearted comedy. We could not recommend a better officiant for anyone’s wedding and you won’t be disappointed in his work!
